A Chinese company has made headlines by adding 'Free toilet use' and 'Free elevator use' in the job announcement.

It also highlighted 'no electricity bill for overtime' as one of the employee perks.

According to Hong Kong media outlet South China Morning Post, the job advertisement was recently published on a social media account with about 4.4 million followers.




The post did not reveal the company's name or specific positions, but it did provide some basic details about its work.

It was primarily related to order processing and stated that applicants should be experienced, enterprising, and know how to handle spreadsheets and Excel programs well.

Work hours are eight hours a day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. or from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m., and an hour of rest is given, it said.




The monthly salary during the probationary period is 4,000 yuan (about 780,000 won), has four days off a month, and is paid twice as much when working on holidays.

So far, it is no different from other companies' job postings.

However, if you look at the benefits of working, you can use toilets and elevators for free and you don't charge electricity for overtime.




The company also noted that there are occasional team building activities, afternoon teas and late-night snacks in the benefits category.

In addition, he said that after completing a year of work, there is a monthly basic salary increase of 100 yuan (about 20,000 won).

The job posting became a hot topic online.

Netizens say "It's ridiculous that using the bathroom and using the elevator are perks.", "Do you think a company is a kind of savior?", "Isn't it a fabrication?" give a back reaction.
