According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, snack wholesaler A, located in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China, broadcast live footage of about 15 employees working over the weekend through a video platform.
The owner of the company, which has the last name 'Xing', explained in an interview with Chinese media outlet Hongxing News that the move is aimed at increasing customer confidence by disclosing a genuine and transparent workflow.
He "Some companies claim to have dedicated teams, but they actually outsource the work. On the contrary, we want to let consumers know that we are a company with a dedicated organization."
The company employs 50 people, with data from 2023 showing only 13 of them insured.
In addition, CEO Singh "The company is off for two days over the weekend, but some employees chose to work overtime on holidays to meet the deadline."It provides compensation for additional working hours."," he stressed. He added that "employees have never complained about their live broadcast cameras being turned on while on duty."
One employee expressed satisfaction with live streaming. He said "It's like a lot of people livestreaming in a scenic place"Satisfied with the company's benefits, including overtime pay and annual business trips"
However, it is pointed out that livestreaming employees working on weekends is an infringement of portrait rights and privacy.
Netizens are forced to follow orders from their bosses instead of saying "No","How can an employee express dissatisfaction in this environment?", He is showing critical responses such as "Do live broadcasting of the CEO's personal life as well".
Under Chinese civil law, which took effect in 2021, it is prohibited to use or promote an individual's image without the individual's consent.
In addition, Chinese labor law states that overtime must not exceed three hours a day or 36 hours a week, and workers must be given at least one day off per week.
In fact, however, many Chinese companies often enforce their working hours to the legal limit, often taking only one day off a week with minimal compensation.
