Find a husband through your HR department....

A South Korean bank (Hana Bank) is attempting to better the lives of its employees by signing its female employees, between the ages of 29 and 33, up to a dating service.

Twenty lucky ladies will be set up on blind dates in the hopes that the potential for blooming romance will make them happier at work.

"As our bank tries to help our employees balance their work and personal lives, we are putting more effort into improving their personal life."

I'm sorry - but my dating/romantic life should not be of any concern to my company. I have my mother for that.

Your last line made me laugh out loud.
This whole dating thing through work is just creepy.

The big issue for me is not that the company is attempting to infiltrate its employees personal lives but...why aren't the single guys forced to go through the same thing? Or are women the only sex who bring their miserly unhappiness into the workplace?

Newscoma - Sorry about the comment moderation! I was getting people trying to sell their stuff and I didn't know how else to stop that!
