Or, is this company discriminating as to whom they hire?

We only employ workers born under specific star signs, says insurance company

Meh, their Loss . If they want to limit their talent pool based upon statistical research which IMO doesn't exactly holds merit since their psy profile and their astro charts may say other wise, then I say they need to have a serious talk with their HR department Lol!

Ah, the Daily Mail.

With their fingers on the pulse of the world-wide stories that matter.

Any update on Jerry Hall's cellulite? I'm sure they'll get back to us.

Oh Xodian

If it's acceptable to use astrology for life partner criteria, why not employment?

Lol! Well no particular insult to some of our really fine members at the astrology forum, but to me, making a fuss over not having good aspects when it comes to relationships is kinda silly.

'When an employer considers star signs and says: "I want to only hire Pisces, for an example, it must be assumed that within this group of people born under the sign of Pisces there are old and young people, men and women and a whole lot of lazy, good for nothing pot-heads; with a tendency to lose things, like important documents and pens."

(that's why employers don't say that)

Of course they'll only hire Cappy and Aries from the Cardinals. Those two can convince everybody they know best or people usually pretend to be convinced in order to be left alone.
Leo, Aqua and Taurus will just not back down when challenged = they will sell insurance to their dead mother.

I don't think its that tough selling insurances.

Interesting no water sign in that business. They do well in Human resources, selling million dollar homes, acting etc etc ..

is it unfair - nope. its legal.

Like I'd want to work at an insurance company anyways. Too boring and not enough movement for my mutable planets.

Btw, insurance is an intangible and tough to sell...since you're selling a product on which no one wants to collect. Well, perhaps heirs and beneficiaries want to collect but not the policy holder.

As a Leo Sun, Mars in Aries in the 6th House...of work, this policy seems sound to me.
