Chinese tech companies reportedly hiring 'cheerleaders' to motivate programmers

At least one tech company in China appears to be taking a page out of Silicon Valley's infamous "workplace culture" handbook by offering its employees some rather unique benefits — one of which includes personal cheerleaders.

The country's government-run news service China.org.cn reported last week that internet companies "across China" are hiring "pretty, talented girls that help create a fun work environment."

Dubbed "programming cheerleaders," these young women serve to chit-chat and play Ping-Pong with employees as part of their role.

The duties of an office cheerleader are said to include buying programmers breakfast, chit-chatting and playing Ping-Pong with them. (Facebook/Trending in China)

They also sometimes smile and clap for male employees who play guitar in the office, as indicated by photos posted to the news service's verified "Trending in China" Facebook page.

And unlike Google and Facebook, where employees must walk (or ride Segways) to company restaurants for free food, these cheerleaders will reportedly take breakfast orders from employees right at their desks.

    Groan - That Jew propaganda makes you guys think that you can't get girls unless you're a Black affirmative-action candidate.

    But news to you fucks -- Those types have been in the American corporate environment for quite awhile. They wear tight mid-thigh skirts and tank tops so they can show you their armpits. And they will show you those armpits because you sad-sacks will just drool all over them.

    You approach them talking about your latest Pokemon strategies and they'll lift up an arm and toss some hair back, and you hard-up dick-kneaders will recommend them for hires. Unfortunately, some dick-kneading Asian listens to your family dynasty, so the cycle continues.

    They'll Ching-Chong you up the ass. Know the Ching-Chongs.
