I think it's more corporations having more access to politicians than 
most people.

Employees definitely have a wide variety of rights here. Sure, not as 
many as in Europe.  But forcing the *potential* employer to tell you why 
you didn't get picked for a job isn't one of them. Honestly, I can't 
imagine what use it would be if people just said "we didn't hire you 
because the people who interviewed you didn't like you."

Employees can quit any time. Employers can fire you at any time. Unless 
you mutually agree. There are certain employers who can't fire you 
easily (mostly government) and certain employees who can't quit easily 
(mostly government) and unions and unemployment insurance and stuff like 
that.

But until you're actually employed, there aren't a whole lot of laws 
protecting you - mostly just anti-discrimination stuff, which apply 
pretty much equally to looking for jobs, buying houses, and so on.

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
