This would obviously be horrendous in the West, but elsewhere it's just treated as another aspect of the hospitality industry.
No, it doesn't work this way at CX, I can assure you. The retirement age is 55 and that's it, basically the only restriction.

And this aside, a lot of times I have found male CX FAs to be more professional than their female counterparts, especially within junior ranks, but I shall not generalize or stereotype.
