I don't think many are saying it could never happen, in fact I believe there was a time not too long ago they weren't hiring very many mil guys and rumor was that someone from HR got let go for that. What we're saying is that through our networks we know many people who are getting hired that fit your demographic. I personally know 2 from the last week of interviews.

I think you're burying your head in the sand here, for what motivations I don't know, and maybe believing that since you haven't gotten the call and you heard this rumor, it must be true. It's not. It's factually incorrect.
