You can't work from home cuz we have to justify the expense of our office, and if we can't provide the office your home is our office.
Bunch of assholes. Hope it hits the responsible managers house and the office building.
I think this is pretty standard for Chinese companies. My friend works for one, and she doesn't get sick days. They must come out of her holiday allowance.
She gets treated better than her Chinese counterparts, though. For Chinese public holidays, they get the day off, but are then expected to give it back to the company at the weekend
The problem isn't the Chinese companies the problem is the US doesn't have any kind of employee protection laws. If they did the Chinese companies couldn't do any of that. There was a reason they don't operate in Europe.
Haha, no. This is US branch 100% I can promise you TikTok eu branch would not have had these rules even though they are both ByteDance
I'm afraid I and my friend are both in the EU. Chinese companies will and do find ways...
UK is not the EU, m8.
I know... Even with this information, I can confirm that my friend and I are both in the EU
I work for an American company and we have to use PTO for sick days. Unfortunately.
This is pretty standard for US companies in general.
Fuck the CCP and PLA owned companies. Free West Taiwan!!!
Both the People's Republic of China (China) and the Republic of China (Taiwan) claim to own all of China and Taiwan. Neither has reneged on their claim.
The reason why you see the west dance around Taiwan is because if they acknowledge Taiwan then they acknowledge Taiwan's claim the mainland China (at least as far as China is concerned).
I think it's time for Taiwan to renounce their claim to mainland China and gain full international support.
Of course, internal politics are probably not that simple. And China would definitely use that as an excuse to invade -- er, restore democracy to -- Taiwan.
Taiwanese in Taiwan. It's mostly the corrupt KMT that wants to reunite China and Taiwan.
They are normally super old people that can't let go and turn a blind eye to what's happening inHong Kong
Calling China "West Taiwan" undermines Taiwanese independence.
Its a shitpost but u ain't wrong from geo politics perspective although I doubt shepooh would try to play that angle ever
It is one China, boy (Taiwan, did play this one though)
So this is the easiest opportunity for the most upvoted comment ever, thanks to Mr.As-Long-As-It's-Not-Illegal-It's-Fine down there!
I would still like to add my opinion: TikTok is an instrument of non-conventional warfare and espionage, why is it still running like it is
Supposedly it's shutting down the day before inauguration.
Task complete
I have agreed for the longest time. But a couple of friends in intelligence are really trying to convince me this is a distraction lately. I haven't gotten a good answer to why status quo should be allowed but those guys don't ever consider "how end users are" when we get into it.
You can't dance in fire like that!
