An education company in Shenzhen said: Is it employment discrimination not to hire people with the bottom 5 mobile phone numbers?

The person in charge of the recruitment of an education company in Shenzhen clearly informed the candidates on the job application software that the boss stipulated that our company would not hire the person with the fifth lowest mobile phone number. If you meet other recruitment requirements, you can temporarily enter the company and then change your mobile phone number. The applicant was speechless and shocked, so he posted it online, which caused various comments from netizens. Some lawyers said that this is employment discrimination. Faced with such wonderful requirements and varied regulations, job seekers should complain to the platform or report to the labor bureau to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

Some netizens disagreed with the lawyer's statement, because they felt that the boss had the right to put forward his own requirements when recruiting employees, and this requirement was just different, but not excessive, and it did not involve personal insults. Moreover, it was explained in advance before joining the company, which was not used as a reason for dismissing employees after joining the company. Some people think that this is just the boss's belief in Feng Shui. It is inevitable to consider feng shui when doing business, otherwise it will affect the company's wealth. This is a belief of the people, and even if it is not supported, I hope it can be understood. Others think that this is an educational institution, and both the boss and the staff should have certain scientific knowledge and should not engage in feudal superstition, otherwise the students taught will have no scientific consciousness, which is misleading children.

Personally, I think this does not constitute employment discrimination, because it is only one of the conditions for screening candidates. This condition is just a bit wonderful, but the reason behind it is geomantic omen, which has certain rationality. Moreover, when chatting online, the company has clearly informed the candidates that it respects the candidates' right to know and has not personally attacked the candidates, so there is no employment discrimination. But if I apply, I will never go to such a company, because I think those bosses who believe in Feng Shui are ignorant. They don't put their time and energy into their careers, but they engage in such vain things, which will make all employees' work beliefs deviate. Such enterprises have no future development. If there are more wonderful regulations after entering the company, it will be difficult to leave.
