Company refuses to hire Scorpios, Virgos

A company in China has discouraged Scorpios and Virgos from applying for their job vacancies.

The job advertisement, which is seeking teachers and clerks, also states that Capricorns, Pisces and Libras would be favoured over other candidates, reports local newspaper Chutian Metropolis Daily.

"We don't want Scorpios or Virgos," says the listing posted at a university in Wuhuan. "Capricorns, Pisces and Libras will be prioritised."

The head of the English language training company explained: "I hired people with those two star signs before, and they either liked quarrelling with colleagues or they could not do the job for long."

There have been previous reports of star sign discrimination in Wuhuan. A student was apparently turned down for a wedding company position because Aquarius and Scorpios were "more suited to the job".
