Working, Eating and Sleeping in the Office

Could you spend the night in the office to meet a deadline? Some Chinese employees can.

this seems like a sweet gig for people without families. you get a job and a free place to stay. no need for transportation so that eliminates car payment, insurance and/or gas costs as well.

No amount of money or so-called 'success' should require you to sacrifice your family. It is truly a self-destructive system we have and explains why so many people are unhappy, lonely and commit suicide or end up doing hard liquor and even harder drugs.

i'm afraid, does no-one sees this as slavery

[anthonynorman]

At what point does that sort of life devoid a person of their humanity? They are literally spending all of their time at work.

[viceroy]

America used to do something reminiscent of this... then the people realized how fucking horrible that was for them.

Lucky, I know a lot of people who would love to JUST live in their office, but we have laws in our countries that make sure that we don't do this.

Soo this startup employees work like sweat shop employees

[joyo]

Horrible. They would be able to spend time with their kids.

If you're single and just starting on your career, I suppose this would help.

[spiderliliez]

Seriously, it's a sad practice.
WORK-LIFE-BALANCE is still a healthy way to go about our lives if we can still afford it.

So do they go home on the weekends at least?

[Mallory-Malkovich]

"Cause let me tell you something, little britches, if you act like that bee acts... uh uh, you're workin' too hard.

[miaad]

meanwhile the wives are spending quality time with the neighbor, if you know what I mean ;)

[mahoumaou]

sadly we have one here too but little different we "wear diapers on job over lack of bathroom breaks" so... China and US are very close...

[mota]

There must be an alternative to this problem

[BSMART]

This is so depressing. What about food? Do they at least get to leave for lunch breaks? What about breakfast and dinner? Do they get to leave on the weekends?

[SarahLJP]

Seems like a very male centrist thing. The only hint of the feminine was the bathroom sign.

[PartisanGamer]

while I am not ok with It, I have to objectively admit that this right there is the sort of commitement that sets them apart. Their culture will be on the winning side of history.
