A company in China has banned hiring candidates born in the Year of the Dog.
This measure became one of the most discussed on social networks due to its unusualness.
The company believes that applicants born in the Year of the Dog according to the Eastern calendar may not be suitable for a “dragon” leader, writes the South China Morning Post .
There are 12 signs in the Chinese zodiac, and the dog and dragon signs are opposite each other, indicating that they are incompatible.
Sanxing Transportation Company in Guangdong was looking for a clerk with a high salary.
The job description stated that candidates born in the Year of the Dog were not required to apply.
The company associates the dragon with the element of water and the dog with fire, which can create difficulties when working together.
It is believed that if a dragon works with a dog, they will often disagree with each other.
