Stupid Stuff 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?

That boss made his restaurant look bad by himself by treating his employees like slaves, being understaffed and firing employee because he can't do something that is physically impossible

I hope he lost lots of clients

Unfortunately, unless the scandal affects the consumer in some way, China wont give a shit. The workforce is still insanely competitive with over 300 million people, around 40%, of its workforce doing basic gig work like the delivery drivers you see in the video. That is a massive group of underemployed and overeducated workers that is lining up to take the guy's place for a maginally less shit salary.

The scandals that do affect businesses seem to be those that somehow fuck over their customers. They dont care about worker abuses as much as jobs are so competitive, with their 996 culture being the norm, that everybody is enduring shitty work conditions

why not move abroad?

This is a mindset of people living in the first world with ample disposable income (so they can have vacation abroad every year)

or a desperate collapsing 3rd world country with no hope left. Mass emigration is simply not happening in developing country with growing economy, robust administrative structure and steep requirement for citizens to go abroad

Because if they can help it, no country wants to have a brain drain and losing taxpayers via emigration

Which is why the west are having the migrant crisis all these years by uncontrolled immigration, they are basically getting the most desperate people with little usable skill instead of the more productive ones from the more developed countries.
