Chinese companies are responding to workplace unhappiness by offering “Misery Holidays,” with the company owning the food retail chain Pang Dong Lai granting employees an additional 10 days off. This move aims to improve work-life balance, focusing on rest and relaxation outside of working hours. The initiative comes in response to survey results indicating that over 65% of employees in China suffer from workplace unhappiness due to low wages, personal pressures, and a culture of overtime. The company advocates for a 7-hour workday, with paid annual leave rights to promote well-being and life balance.
