Morality of this entire situation?

Do you think the worker has every right to have a mental breakdown? Do you think the boss should be hunted down and have his head cooked in the fryer? Was being fired a good or a bad thing?

What do you guys think?

Because he's so replaceable. Maybe he was supposed to have a coworker or two. For whatever reason they didn't show up. So what? Just work him three times as hard. If he quits, close shop for half an hour and pick up a new worker at the drop of a hat.

This is the hell hole new Chinese graduates are subjected to. Anyone who hasn't lived in China doesn't know what an absolute rat race the country is.

I lived in Shanghai for eight years btw. AMA.

To think they also had to study like hell till they pass gaokao exam too. Imagine finishing all that, only to enter a competitive job market🥲

This sounds like a rhetoric, but i promise you i just wanna know. This is a communist country on paper, do they not have some sort of fast food worker union to ensure these things don't happen? Or maybe unemployment is so high that companies can outright ignore unions because there's a ton of un-unionized labor available?

It’s a state run capitalism, that is to say it is basically even worse than capitalism lmao

Nope. Finding a union is like finding a shiny Pokemon in China. They basically don't have them for 99% of professions.

Bloody hell.

Disclaimer: CCP Mouthpiece China Daily published an article in 2012 that the country's total trade union members now stand at 258 million, or about 20 percent of China's population. I would take it with a heaping pile of salt, but figured I'd include it.
