A company in southern China sparked controversy after it banned job applications from individuals born in the Year of the Dog.
hiring policy by a company in southern China has sparked controversy after it banned job applications from individuals born in the Year of the Dog., Sanxing Transportation, located in Guangdong province, has made this decision based on the belief that the dragon zodiac sign of their boss clashes with the dog zodiac sign.
It was reported that a staff member mentioned that the prohibition stemmed from the belief that “dragons and dogs do not get along well.” This conflict is said to extend into the workplace, with the belief that the dragon’s water element and the dog’s fire element could lead to disagreements. Additionally, superstitions claim that dog people may bring bad luck to dragon people’s careers.
One user commented on Weibo, “This is discrimination.” Another added, “I would not choose to work for a company like this.”
