Shenzhen Shop’s Job Listing Demands 16-Hour Workdays: “I Just Laughed,” Says Applicant
A Shenzhen dessert shop’s potential employee sparked controversy with a viral post detailing extreme working conditions: a 16-hour workday, two days off a month, and strict rules with penalties. The contract highlights labor rights concerns, particularly excessive work hours and questionable ethics. While management claims voluntary agreement, local authorities remind workers of their rights under existing labor laws, which mandate eight-hour workdays. The situation reflects growing scrutiny of worker protections in China.
