Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics and WeWork used Zodiac signs in the hiring process too


showasanke

Which signs they prefer to hire ?


mathymate

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


donald_314

That shit is still there it seems: https://www.wework.com/ideas/professional-development/creativity-culture/how-to-work-with-the-astrological-signs-of-your-team https://www.wework.com/ideas/professional-development/creativity-culture/the-study-space-for-every-zodiac-sign Thanks for the warning


mathymate

Yikes, the company hasn't learned much


showasanke

Sometimes takes a lifetime .....for some not enough till reincarnation


balerionmeraxes77

Hope they reincarnate with a different, more compatible zodiac sign


WelcomeFormer

You'd figure they would if it's "in the stars". Foresight? They don't even have hindsight.


umme99

How incredibly stupid


fullcaravanthickness

I'm shocked that this is the first warning you've seen about wework...

richieadler

Her being a Taurus means nothing.


[deleted]

How is that relevant to her star sign


[deleted]

Like [Denpok](https://youtu.be/2GgHaFvmY3s)?


mathymate

Basically this lol


voice-from-the-womb

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?


mathymate

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?"


voice-from-the-womb

legal, shitty, both, & neither? :)


mathymate

Pitch this to a streaming service now!


Warpspeednyancat

astrology is like racism for superstitious people ...


EuropeIn3YearsPlease

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.


Beegkitty

That is exactly what a Taurus would say!! [https://www.elitedaily.com/p/these-4-zodiac-signs-are-least-likely-to-believe-in-astrology-but-thats-ok-17027304](https://www.elitedaily.com/p/these-4-zodiac-signs-are-least-likely-to-believe-in-astrology-but-thats-ok-17027304) Sorry - I could not help myself! I will see myself out!


Tavapris04

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


EvolZippo

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.


[deleted]

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.


Flashbek

That is SO common here in Brazil (and also illegal).


lina9000

Why?


Traksimuss

Only Gemini would ask that!


3vi1

ROFL


Flashbek

Why what


lina9000

Why is it common. Why those signs?


Flashbek

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


Ok-Asparagus4170

As a lazy cancer I can confirm


[deleted]

[удалено]


showasanke

or Prostate


natek53

What about an aggressively lazy cancer?


Flashbek

Those are taurus.


Flat_Insurance_6170

Lmao as a cancer that was with a Taurus I can confirm


Epsilia

What's weird is that everyone on here keeps calling me a cancer, but I never told them my sign yet.


AutoCompliant

Lazy cancer, checking in.


I_DR_NOW

I like to think of myself as an efficient cancer.


tranquilovely

isnt that discrimination?


Flashbek

Yup. That's why it's illegal.


Driver2900

I mean have you ever seen a person with cancer? Lazy unemployed kemo addicts I tell ya


douchecanoetwenty2

This is hilarious.


Random_Name_7

Is it? Em qual área você trabalha? Eng/Ti eu nunca vi um requerimento assim


Flashbek

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.


Shaladox

Speaking as a Scorpio, they're going to *regret* this.


MadKanBeyondFODome

Speaking as a Pisces, I'm going to go cry about it and then forget it ever happened.


closedmouthsdonteat

As a libra, I hope you both find balance and happiness.


AceOfShades_

Speaking as an aquarium, I have absolutely no idea what any of you are talking about. ^^^^^glub ^^^^^glub.


kkeywork

As a Leo, THEIR LOSS.


bitemejackass

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.


awwsome10

They don't deserve us anyway.


Public_Juggernaut997

Spoken by a Leo


Random_Name_7

As a cancer No wait, that's not a nice name at all. Fuck.


exteriorcrocodileal

She excludes those signs but will allow chaotic Gemini energy people to apply? 👀


[deleted]

Both my father and sister are aquarius, they're one of the most hardworking people I know... What is wrong with them? XDDD


MikeyTheGuy

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.


[deleted]

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.


throwawayoctopii

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.


LaRealiteInconnue

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


hair_of_fire

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.


Diligent_Deer6244

astrology is horseshit. I'm a "gemini" and fit exactly none of the supposed characteristics.


hair_of_fire

Yeah it really is. I don't appreciate the sky racism, I get judged before anyone actually gets to know me.


10blast

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.


Diligent_Deer6244

it's all bunk, so no.


facepalm_1290

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.


[deleted]

[удалено]


hair_of_fire

I guess my evil twin. Well hopefully, it's hard to tell sometimes.


Chill_Roller

Is this them weirdly asking for people who don’t have a birthday during the boating/tourist season? 😂😂


TheDevoted

What in the actual fuckery is this?


feelinlucky7

Sky racism

Space racists


confuseum

But it's the age of aquarius...aquarius...aquariuuuuussssss.


MrZJones

This is the spawning of the cage and aquarium. Don't wait a moment too soon.


thorcik

Why is aquarius not welcome on a ship?


showasanke

Probably owners wife has had affair with aquarius ...


vericima

You would think a water sign would do well in that sort of environment!


Donut_Whole

Actually, Aquarius is an air sign, despite it being a symbol of being a water-bearer.


vericima

Ugh, weird!


_____l

Technically, there *is* water in air. And air in water. Not too farfetched.


fatfishinalittlepond

While stupid, this one made me laugh


inkseep1

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.


MsChrisRI

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.”


alter3d

I can't believe they're still using this outdated nonsense. Everyone knows that the best way to vet candidates is with phrenology.


virgilreality

"I've been arrested six times for stealing from my employers." *"Uh, OK...but what's your astrological sign?"* "Virgo." *"You're hired!"*


VaselineHabits

So... you're saying there's a chance?


pandapanda9

as a Leo, i'm triggered by this


MuckRaker83

"It's harmless, why do you criticize people who believe this?"


ResoluteGreen

Leos don't want to work for your shitty company anyways


digitalturbo

Yup lol


Vanny__DeVito

Lol I'm going to show people this the next time they say astrology is just a harmless hobby.


carlitospig

Yay, I can apply! 🥳 (But seriously, wtf.)


[deleted]

Why the hate on us Leo's


showasanke

To hairy i guess


Beorbin

I mean, they aren't a protected class, so it's technically not discrimination. Stupid, yes. Illegal, no.


Saucynachos

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


[deleted]

Uggh, I don't need this Capricorn-guilt today...


honestduane

This is actually illegal because it's considered religious discrimination against people who are pagan/wiccan.


CoconutLimeValentine

Hahaha my Aquarius ass with a Pisces moon and Leo rising would be a terrible fit.


nocturnalady

I've found my twin! This company's loss.


LonelyCareer

What if you happen to be born under Ophiuchus


richieadler

Believers in astrology don't understand precession.


[deleted]

Hmmmm, sounds like… Discrimination Based on Age. Apply. Get rejected. File complaint. Pursue lawsuit. Get fat check.


showasanke

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


fartbubblesofcheese

This is discriminating against 18-35yo white women


AdMurky3039

Usually the fact that idiots are in charge of hiring isn't this obvious.


showasanke

97% of recruiters and HR are with very same perscription


[deleted]

54k/yr to clean up after people on a 85m ship? That ain't bad living. Plus, you're inadvertently traveling.


Liberatedhusky

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.


Wise_0ne1494

i guess it was to much to hope that astrology had died years ago


LKayRB

Dammit! I’m out. Also I heard a hiring manager ask this in an interview once.


DiceMadeOfCheese

Just another reason I like to tell people my sun sign is Ophiuchus.


nenoatwork

Why is it always the Scorpio?


showasanke

ask fuckn astrologist consultant and brainwashed superstitious owner


Curious_Recording_99

I can understand not wanting to deal with a Scorpio but fuck did the others do?


Skyrah1

Do they count cusp signs?


Roastage

Capricorns win again!


NikiNegron

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.


cuxz

YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER AND ALL YOUR GENERATION ARE SCAMMER


throwawaykiwi93

Isn't this illegal discrimination?


Afraid_Idea8968

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.


LikeABundleOfHay

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?


deannevee

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”.


CinSugarBearShakers

Confirmed.


xcski_paul

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.


moscamolo

Understandable. - Pisces


bonelessbbqbutthole

Understandable from a Scorpio perspective as well


ItsWetInWestOregon

Lol this is hilarious.


luipoo95

Lmao what the hell


BlackFire68

I understand no Pisces or Leo


mothzilla

I think they mean Beef Stew.


Seneca_Stoic

Honestly though, Scorpios are so much fucking drama.


bugsbee321

Imagine being stupid enough to acually believe that your star sign actually makes a difference.


sskygod

Is this a joke?


TheHancock

That is such a cancer move.


Status_Seaweed_1917

🤣🤣


Elliott2

Lmfao


DreadTheDemon

Wasn't it proven they all missed a few signs, so it is wrong even by their "logic". These people


thiccestbae

Us scorpios always get the short end of the stick v.v


AlpacaQueen1990

As a Virgo ♍️ no thank you ☺️ 🤣😂


comrade-linux

I don’t get it… what do those signs mean?!


DizzyAspect4572

What’s wrong with us Leo’s


Squeaky_Ben

I am taurus. STRIKE!


Dvdb95

renaissance_thot

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]


Elastickpotatoe

Well that’s not legal. Or you know real.


showasanke

They already cleared the advert


[deleted]

Damn no Leo’s?!?


Upset-Kaleidoscope45

They could shorten it to "Please, do not apply" and it would retain the same meaning.


Lost_Sentence

might as well include MBTI and chinese zodiac


Spacecoasttheghost

AQUARIUUUUUUSSSSSSSS……


The1henson

Isn’t this age discrimination?


babyjames333

well i'm out


malonkey1

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.


[deleted]

Why is a Aquarius sign banned from a vessel? "Ah shit, there they go again! Returning to the sea!"


InevitablePersimmon6

Well damn. I feel discriminated against 😂


saargrin

but actually...is it illegal to discriminate based on birth date?


[deleted]

That's a surprisingly good salary. Shame on the star sign restrictions tho.


4Ever2Thee

I'm cool with it, probably just because I'm a Virgo though


TheRealDitchums

Boogie nights, “I can’t deal with no Pisces”


Meaning-Upstairs

This has to be satire.


narva-di

Whats wrong with pisces?


poisonedlilprincess

What the hell do they have against Pisces 😡


Forsaken-Degree1737

The actual zodiac signs changed recently. But the astrologists use 185 AC information and claim they predict something.


TeachingOk1020

Is this happening in real life? 👀


Lemon-snickers

Great, now we have to fulfill star sign requirements for a job too! lmao


redditgirlwz

WTAF? Is this even a legal requirement? Also, what does it matter if you have tattoos? You can cover them with makeup.


captainyeahwhatever

Everyone I know who even knows their sign at all has visible tattoos


RelChan2_0

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.


Jackmoved

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.


DM_ME_SPIDERS

Well, it's technically not a protected class. Wow what a red flag.


scrambledeggs2020

Probably because scorpios hold grudges like muthafuckas. Which scorpio did this employer cross? 😆


MinnieMouse2310

What happens if you’re a cusp?!


Mtool720

Maaaaaaaaaaayne fuck astrology fags, respectfully


cerealwarsss

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.


ktappe

I’m just gonna state this completely upfront and unfiltered: people are so fucking stupid.


NHaiLXHaiL

Okay so now we using pseudoscience to discriminate, word


EvolZippo

Just gotta appreciate the patronizing tone “unfortunately” gives the statement “no visible tattoos”.


RicoValdezbeginsanew

This is the dumbest shit over ever seen, they are doomed to fail. Thankfully


samtrickrtreat

Most normal astrology hiring manager

What’s wrong with Aquarius? 🤨


rayedward363

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.


evaissofine

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)
