What's Up With These Chinese IT Companies Hiring Cheerleaders To Motivate Male Employees?

As per Geek.com, certain tech organizations in China have started enlisting "Cheerleaders" to help keep their programmers motivated. Their duties are basically

  •  bringing the software engineers breakfast.
  • "chitchatting" with the developers.
  • playing ping pong with them.

I guess they saw some research on the effect of dogs in the workplace and figured they'd do the same with some completely grown up human females!


I would bring this info with a grain of salt, as the main source for this broadly re-blogged story, to the extent I can tell, is a post and a few photographs on the Facebook page Trending In China. And to top it off, none of the "Chinese tech organizations" are really named. Then again, considering the industry’s track record with women, I wouldn’t put it past them.
