ALL OUR IMPORTANT DECISIONS ARE MADE BY A MAGIC 8-BALL

An insurance company in Austria has faced charges of discrimination after placing an ad seeking only employees who were born under the signs of Capricorn, Taurus, Aquarius, Aries and Leo. After protests from equal rights groups an investigation by Austria’s anti-discrimination authorities found no existing laws making it illegal to choose employees based on zodiac signs. The company explained that its hiring technique was based on science and not superstition. “‘A statistical study indicated that almost all of our best employees across Austria have one of the five star signs,” explained a spokesperson for the Salzburg insurance company. ‘We only decided to continue with that system and hire the best workers.” (Daily Mail)
