An e-commerce company released an 'overtime honor roll', seriously overworking employees in their spare time and sparking controversy.

Old Huang, did you see that e-commerce company's 'overtime honor roll'? Someone worked almost 160 hours of overtime in a month.

I saw it. I was shocked. Labor law states that monthly overtime can't exceed 36 hours, but they went over by four times.

What's even more outrageous is the company said, 'If you work overtime voluntarily, there's no overtime pay.' That's obviously illegal.

黄刚

Exactly. The law doesn't mention 'voluntary' at all—if they assign overtime, they must pay for it.

The company even promotes this kind of overtime as an example, making it seem like people who leave work on time aren't dedicated enough.

This mindset is so twisted—sacrificing health, and in the end, everyone gets caught in endless competition.

Real competitiveness doesn't come from squeezing employees' time, but from technological and managerial innovation.

Right. The authorities need to step in, or this kind of 'fake hard work' will just drain society's vitality.
