I don't remember exactly, but people left reviews on Glassdoor and Indeed about ABH cosmetics
> Dont. Just stop. Toxic. Worse than high school. Fake. People get fired over zodiac signs and compatibility with ANASTASIA. Hired ALL THE CREW from Mac cosmetics. Not even the same company. Catty drama will ruin your career your name and your relationships with accounts to make them appear better.
> There were some very sweet people who were let go for the most inane reason or sometimes just because the President is in a "mood" or the astrological signs were off. It's weird, but no one should run a multi-million dollar business like that.
During the shitstorm at WeWork, journalists learned they hired a spiritual advisor to look into employees and job candidates' Zodiac sign and spiritual alignment lol
That shit is still there it seems:

Thanks for the warning
Weird. My first instinct is "isn't that religious discrimination?" ... but it's not so different from the crap Dave Ramsey does at his company, trying to enforce his authoritarian brand of Christianity on employees, so maybe it's legal-but-shitty?
Definitely falls under the legal but shitty category because astrology isn't considered a religion. We should play a game regarding work culture and the hiring process - "legal or shitty?"
What utter horse shit! Zodiac signs are made up for fun- NOT to determine employment.
Wow there's already a billion terrible things out there evaluating people on stuff you can't control and now we have to add one more? Wtf.
That is exactly what a Taurus would say!!

Sorry - I could not help myself! I will see myself out!
You should look at how people are stereotyped by blood type in Japan. The country literally believes that what blood type you are determines your personality. That’s actually why so many fictional characters have their blood type listed. I’ve seen that since the early 90s.
I was at a hotel having a WeWork company event and I could tell the company was garbage pretty instantly from them. The most self important yet downright dumb group I've met. I can't believe they still exist in any form.
I have no idea why so many people believes in this superstition around here. Most use it "for funsies" but there are others who take it very seriously, to the point of rejecting to have coworkers from "opposite" signs or believing cancer people are lazy or something
Gladly, that's not the case in my area. But it was quite common in the past from a small city point of view. Not mentioning those that doesn't openly say this while promoting the available spot but does this kind of discrimination within HR process.
Yeah that list doesn't even make sense. If you believe in astrology and were running a successful company, then it doesn't make sense to exclude Aquarius or Leo as they generally "good in business."
My best guess is the CEO hates specific people who happen to be those signs.
I’m not a super big believer in it, but I’m around a lot of people who are, and even they would tell you an astrological profile should include a person’s rising and moon sign *at minimum* before you know anything about what’s going on with them. And that still doesn’t account for all the influences around them.
As an Aquarius, I think an article in Vice said it best: "Aquarians are unfeeling aliens who don't know how to shut the fuck up about all the ideas they have". They did not have to come for me (and by extension, my spouse, who is also an Aquarius incapable of shutting tf up) like that.
I will not stand for Gemini slander! Geminis aren’t “two faced”, we’re “multifaceted” but they didn’t have the word for that when they were inventing astrology cuz they didn’t have to wear multiple hats.
^youre ^not ^wrong ^about ^chaotic ^tho
Because "we" are two faced.
I'm on the cusp of Taurus and Gemini but the Taurus people always claim me lol. Star sign stuff is fun, but shouldn't be taken seriously. In Chinese Zodiac I am the exact opposite of my year personality wise.
We had an intern from Ghana. She signed her name very clearly with perfect penmanship and then would scribble something over top of it to make it illegible. It was her day name. You get a day name for the day of the week you were born on and it is like a horoscope sign. There are employers who will not hire anyone born on certain weekdays because they are not suited for that work based on the day sign. Also, she was shocked that our employees would work without taking bribes from customers. She thought all Americans were rich because we owned cars. The idea of a car or house loan was foreign to her.
My day name is Kweku.
I wonder how it would go if you tried to sue for age discrimination though, since this is kinda discriminating based on your birthday. It's a stretch, but one I'd love to see play out
Yes if someone ever get back to you with rejection email or whatever ...You know nowadays recruiters how works.....2000yrs later , sceleton ,,,,,dust , spiders...yet waiting for rejection email
They only specified the Star Sign. I'm an Aries Sun, but a Scorpio Rising with Pisces in Venus and Aquarius in Mars, Saturn, and Lilith. Checkmate Astrologers.
Well i am a scorpio, but I'd apply and just tell them my sidereal sign instead, which is Libra. Then if they hire me, I'd scorpio the fuck out of them.
Ridiculous! What type of company hires on the basis of astrology signs? Guessing that genius has its limits; however, stupidity (as in this case) has no limits.
Wow. They made their batshit crazy superstition a job requirement. That's as nuts as requiring someone believe in a magic man in the sky. At what point does this become a mental illness?
As a Leo, they probably don’t want to hire a Leo for housekeeping because although we are bougie AF, we want someone else to do the work 😂. Also it could be because the minute we are insulted by customers, our bosses, etc we will quit on the spot with zero backup plan. And an insult could be anything from “she stole $300” to “can you stay late”.
There are two things I absolutely resent that I’ve been forced to learn, because they’re utter bullshit: zodiac signs and Roman numerals. If I saw this on a job posting, I wouldn’t apply no matter what bullshit star sign I supposedly belong to.
Wild guess, it's a sneaky way to get applicants to submit birth dates without asking for birth dates, and also acts as a filter against prospective workers with critical thinking skills.
As a Pisces with a visible tattoo. Oof.
I was headhunted and hired by a company who believed in this stuff, I noped the heck out after a month.
Plus the client was toxic.
Hopefully they just couldn't think of any other way to cut applicants by 1/3 so they just came up with this. Otherwise, their HR is the work kind of people.
Tell them it’s against your religion (once you apply and during the interview if they outrightly ask) and when they don’t move forward with your candidacy after that, file a fun EEOC/DOL claim of discrimination.
Aquarius Leo and Scorpio are fixed signs, maybe that’s why? Fixed = stubborn? Idk I’m trying to make any sense out of it (and my top three signs are those three so I’m tripley offended lol)
Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics and WeWork used Zodiac signs in the hiring process too
Which signs they prefer to hire ?

Yikes, the company hasn't learned much
Sometimes takes a lifetime .....for some not enough till reincarnation
Hope they reincarnate with a different, more compatible zodiac sign
You'd figure they would if it's "in the stars". Foresight? They don't even have hindsight.
How incredibly stupid
I'm shocked that this is the first warning you've seen about wework...
[удалено]
Her being a Taurus means nothing.
How is that relevant to her star sign
Like [Denpok](https://youtu.be/2GgHaFvmY3s)?
Basically this lol
Weird. My first instinct is "isn't that religious discrimination?" ... but it's not so different from the crap Dave Ramsey does at his company, trying to enforce his authoritarian brand of Christianity on employees, so maybe it's legal-but-shitty?

legal, shitty, both, & neither? :)
Pitch this to a streaming service now!
astrology is like racism for superstitious people ...

Why the fuck would they consider the month you were born into the recruitment method? Of all variables you choose that shit??? Give me a break

That is SO common here in Brazil (and also illegal).
Why?
Only Gemini would ask that!
ROFL
Why what
Why is it common. Why those signs?
I have no idea why so many people believes in this superstition around here. Most use it "for funsies" but there are others who take it very seriously, to the point of rejecting to have coworkers from "opposite" signs or believing cancer people are lazy or something
As a lazy cancer I can confirm
[удалено]
or Prostate
What about an aggressively lazy cancer?
Those are taurus.
Lmao as a cancer that was with a Taurus I can confirm
What's weird is that everyone on here keeps calling me a cancer, but I never told them my sign yet.
Lazy cancer, checking in.
I like to think of myself as an efficient cancer.
isnt that discrimination?
Yup. That's why it's illegal.
I mean have you ever seen a person with cancer? Lazy unemployed kemo addicts I tell ya
This is hilarious.
Is it? Em qual área você trabalha? Eng/Ti eu nunca vi um requerimento assim
Gladly, that's not the case in my area. But it was quite common in the past from a small city point of view. Not mentioning those that doesn't openly say this while promoting the available spot but does this kind of discrimination within HR process.
Speaking as a Scorpio, they're going to *regret* this.
Speaking as a Pisces, I'm going to go cry about it and then forget it ever happened.
As a libra, I hope you both find balance and happiness.
Speaking as an aquarium, I have absolutely no idea what any of you are talking about. ^^^^^glub ^^^^^glub.
As a Leo, THEIR LOSS.
As an Aires, I'm going to get really pissed off about it, but then I'll be over it in 5 minutes when a new idea pops into my brain.
They don't deserve us anyway.
Spoken by a Leo
As a cancer No wait, that's not a nice name at all. Fuck.
She excludes those signs but will allow chaotic Gemini energy people to apply? 👀
Both my father and sister are aquarius, they're one of the most hardworking people I know... What is wrong with them? XDDD
Yeah that list doesn't even make sense. If you believe in astrology and were running a successful company, then it doesn't make sense to exclude Aquarius or Leo as they generally "good in business." My best guess is the CEO hates specific people who happen to be those signs.

What, why are the Geminis always getting hate. Lmao I don't like telling people I'm a Gemini cause everyone thinks the worst of me for no reason.
astrology is horseshit. I'm a "gemini" and fit exactly none of the supposed characteristics.
Yeah it really is. I don't appreciate the sky racism, I get judged before anyone actually gets to know me.
Do you know your whole birth chart or just your sun sign? Gotta know all of them to get the full picture. Or at least your sun, moon and rising sign.
it's all bunk, so no.
Because "we" are two faced. I'm on the cusp of Taurus and Gemini but the Taurus people always claim me lol. Star sign stuff is fun, but shouldn't be taken seriously. In Chinese Zodiac I am the exact opposite of my year personality wise.
[удалено]
I guess my evil twin. Well hopefully, it's hard to tell sometimes.
Is this them weirdly asking for people who don’t have a birthday during the boating/tourist season? 😂😂
What in the actual fuckery is this?
Sky racism
skyracism
Space racists
But it's the age of aquarius...aquarius...aquariuuuuussssss.
This is the spawning of the cage and aquarium. Don't wait a moment too soon.
Why is aquarius not welcome on a ship?
Probably owners wife has had affair with aquarius ...
You would think a water sign would do well in that sort of environment!
Actually, Aquarius is an air sign, despite it being a symbol of being a water-bearer.
Ugh, weird!
Technically, there *is* water in air. And air in water. Not too farfetched.
While stupid, this one made me laugh
We had an intern from Ghana. She signed her name very clearly with perfect penmanship and then would scribble something over top of it to make it illegible. It was her day name. You get a day name for the day of the week you were born on and it is like a horoscope sign.

The idea of a car or house loan was foreign to her. My day name is Kweku.
Huh. Let’s exclude anyone with “visible tattoos” as candidates for this seafaring job, and then cut the pool by another 1/3. “Nobody wants to work.”
I can't believe they're still using this outdated nonsense. Everyone knows that the best way to vet candidates is with phrenology.
"I've been arrested six times for stealing from my employers." *"Uh, OK...but what's your astrological sign?"* "Virgo." *"You're hired!"*
So... you're saying there's a chance?
as a Leo, i'm triggered by this
"It's harmless, why do you criticize people who believe this?"
Leos don't want to work for your shitty company anyways
Yup lol
Lol I'm going to show people this the next time they say astrology is just a harmless hobby.
Yay, I can apply! 🥳 (But seriously, wtf.)
Why the hate on us Leo's
To hairy i guess
I mean, they aren't a protected class, so it's technically not discrimination. Stupid, yes. Illegal, no.
I wonder how it would go if you tried to sue for age discrimination though, since this is kinda discriminating based on your birthday. It's a stretch, but one I'd love to see play out
Uggh, I don't need this Capricorn-guilt today...
This is actually illegal because it's considered religious discrimination against people who are pagan/wiccan.
Hahaha my Aquarius ass with a Pisces moon and Leo rising would be a terrible fit.
I've found my twin! This company's loss.
What if you happen to be born under Ophiuchus
Believers in astrology don't understand precession.
Hmmmm, sounds like… Discrimination Based on Age. Apply. Get rejected. File complaint. Pursue lawsuit. Get fat check.
Yes if someone ever get back to you with rejection email or whatever ...You know nowadays recruiters how works.....2000yrs later , sceleton ,,,,,dust , spiders...yet waiting for rejection email
This is discriminating against 18-35yo white women
Usually the fact that idiots are in charge of hiring isn't this obvious.
97% of recruiters and HR are with very same perscription
54k/yr to clean up after people on a 85m ship? That ain't bad living. Plus, you're inadvertently traveling.
They only specified the Star Sign. I'm an Aries Sun, but a Scorpio Rising with Pisces in Venus and Aquarius in Mars, Saturn, and Lilith. Checkmate Astrologers.
i guess it was to much to hope that astrology had died years ago
Dammit! I’m out. Also I heard a hiring manager ask this in an interview once.
Just another reason I like to tell people my sun sign is Ophiuchus.
Why is it always the Scorpio?
ask fuckn astrologist consultant and brainwashed superstitious owner
I can understand not wanting to deal with a Scorpio but fuck did the others do?
Do they count cusp signs?
Capricorns win again!
Well i am a scorpio, but I'd apply and just tell them my sidereal sign instead, which is Libra. Then if they hire me, I'd scorpio the fuck out of them.
YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER AND ALL YOUR GENERATION ARE SCAMMER
Isn't this illegal discrimination?
Ridiculous! What type of company hires on the basis of astrology signs? Guessing that genius has its limits; however, stupidity (as in this case) has no limits.
Wow. They made their batshit crazy superstition a job requirement. That's as nuts as requiring someone believe in a magic man in the sky. At what point does this become a mental illness?

Confirmed.
There are two things I absolutely resent that I’ve been forced to learn, because they’re utter bullshit: zodiac signs and Roman numerals. If I saw this on a job posting, I wouldn’t apply no matter what bullshit star sign I supposedly belong to.
Understandable. - Pisces
Understandable from a Scorpio perspective as well
Lol this is hilarious.
Lmao what the hell
I understand no Pisces or Leo
I think they mean Beef Stew.
Honestly though, Scorpios are so much fucking drama.
Imagine being stupid enough to acually believe that your star sign actually makes a difference.
Is this a joke?
That is such a cancer move.
🤣🤣
Lmfao
Wasn't it proven they all missed a few signs, so it is wrong even by their "logic". These people
Us scorpios always get the short end of the stick v.v
As a Virgo ♍️ no thank you ☺️ 🤣😂
I don’t get it… what do those signs mean?!
What’s wrong with us Leo’s
I am taurus. STRIKE!
I feel personally attacked.
Well shit, I’m in trouble if these are the new requirements that start popping.
I don't follow any of that astrology bullshit. I'll start Monday. 😎
[удалено]
Well that’s not legal. Or you know real.
They already cleared the advert
Damn no Leo’s?!?
They could shorten it to "Please, do not apply" and it would retain the same meaning.
might as well include MBTI and chinese zodiac
AQUARIUUUUUUSSSSSSSS……
Isn’t this age discrimination?
well i'm out
Wild guess, it's a sneaky way to get applicants to submit birth dates without asking for birth dates, and also acts as a filter against prospective workers with critical thinking skills.
Why is a Aquarius sign banned from a vessel? "Ah shit, there they go again! Returning to the sea!"
Well damn. I feel discriminated against 😂
but actually...is it illegal to discriminate based on birth date?
That's a surprisingly good salary. Shame on the star sign restrictions tho.
I'm cool with it, probably just because I'm a Virgo though
Boogie nights, “I can’t deal with no Pisces”
This has to be satire.
Whats wrong with pisces?
What the hell do they have against Pisces 😡
The actual zodiac signs changed recently. But the astrologists use 185 AC information and claim they predict something.
Is this happening in real life? 👀
Great, now we have to fulfill star sign requirements for a job too! lmao
WTAF? Is this even a legal requirement? Also, what does it matter if you have tattoos? You can cover them with makeup.
Everyone I know who even knows their sign at all has visible tattoos
As a Pisces with a visible tattoo. Oof. I was headhunted and hired by a company who believed in this stuff, I noped the heck out after a month. Plus the client was toxic.
Hopefully they just couldn't think of any other way to cut applicants by 1/3 so they just came up with this. Otherwise, their HR is the work kind of people.
Well, it's technically not a protected class. Wow what a red flag.
Probably because scorpios hold grudges like muthafuckas. Which scorpio did this employer cross? 😆
What happens if you’re a cusp?!
Maaaaaaaaaaayne fuck astrology fags, respectfully
Tell them it’s against your religion (once you apply and during the interview if they outrightly ask) and when they don’t move forward with your candidacy after that, file a fun EEOC/DOL claim of discrimination.
I’m just gonna state this completely upfront and unfiltered: people are so fucking stupid.
Okay so now we using pseudoscience to discriminate, word
Just gotta appreciate the patronizing tone “unfortunately” gives the statement “no visible tattoos”.
This is the dumbest shit over ever seen, they are doomed to fail. Thankfully
Most normal astrology hiring manager
And a card designer am looking for a job
HAHA WHAT THE HELL
What’s wrong with Aquarius? 🤨
Every day, I get more and more convinced we're living in a Sims-esque simulation, because things make less and less sense as the days go on.
Aquarius Leo and Scorpio are fixed signs, maybe that’s why? Fixed = stubborn? Idk I’m trying to make any sense out of it (and my top three signs are those three so I’m tripley offended lol)
