The company is confronted according to live streaming employees of the company who work over the weekend: “We are corporate slaves”.

A snack company in China called Miaohuo Net was heavily criticized after a powerful employee of his employees at the weekend. The company based in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, said the idea was to build up the customer's trust by showing their real work process.

They used a popular video app to stream about 15 employees. According to the company's owner, Mr. Xing, this has already been done. It shows that they are “honest and transparent” in their work.

“Some companies claim to have a team but actually outsource their work. We want to assure people that we are a legitimate company with a committed team,” quoted South China Morning Post Xing.

Miaohuo Net has 50 employees, but 2023 data show that insurance was carried out for only 13. The company gives two -day weekends, but some employees choose additional work on the weekend to do tasks. They are paid for overtime.

Owner Xing said the cameras were clearly visible during the living streams, and no staff complained. An employed named Duan said it was well filmed and compared it to people who compared live streaming streams at tourist resorts.

According to the employee, the company offers good performances such as overtime and annual trips. Such things keep him happy.

Social media reactions

However, the decision to live live stream did not go well with social media users.

One of them commented: “How can an employee be dissatisfied in this environment? It would mean not working hard enough to work.”

One of them wrote: “We are corporate slaves that are expected to follow the orders of our bosses without saying no.”

What does the law say?

China's civil code prohibits the image of a person without consent. According to the work laws, overtime should not cross three hours a day or 36 hours a week. According to the law, you should have at least one day free.

The lawyer Zhao informed the SCMP that the employees had granted the approval of live streaming. So it was legal.
