CHINESE COMPANY GIVES EMPLOYEES DAYS OFF FOR BEING “SAD”

The owner of a supermarket and retail chain in China has announced that his employees can now take a day off if they’re just feeling unhappy. Yu Donglai, the founder and chairman of Pang Donglai stores, said, “Everyone has times when they’re not happy. So, if you’re not happy, don’t come to work.” Employees can take up to 10 sad days of additional leave per year, and they get to determine when that is. The Pang Donglai company is known for employee benefits that prioritize work-life balance. Some of the benefits include: only working seven hours a day, having weekends off, and getting 30 to 40 days of annual leave.
* The company made 80 dollars last year.
* If America gave you the day off work when you’re grumpy, we’d never have had any Indiana Jones movies.
* Sure, if you’re sad, don’t busy yourself and take your mind off it by working. Sit home and do nothing and stew about it.
* You take a day off ’cause you’re sad. Then you get your lower paycheck, and you have to take another day off.
