I did a blog post on Feng Shui the other day, treating it not a very serious subject matter. Well I just found out today that I was very wrong because the Chinese ( okay, mainland Chinese ) considers these matters ( Feng Shui, Astrology,etc,) very seriously. But I think this one has gone overboard : a person's Zodiac sign is now a major requirement or consideration for a a job he is applying for in China. I don't know if you will call this discrimination but when job requirements are mixed with things "etherial" or "religious" this is worse than discrimination. The good news is that still only a few companies practice them. I hope this doesn't become a trend.
Here's the news :
A Chinese firm has decided Scorpios and Virgos are too moody and critical, telling job seekers with those star signs they need not apply. Capricorns, Pisces and Libras, on the other hand, are welcome.
The unusual requirements are part of a job ad posted at a university in the central city of Wuhuan by an English language training company, and have generated a storm of online controversy since they were uncovered this week. . . . .
