viking , to Work Reform in ‘You won’t find work’: China human resources executive admits to illegally sacking worker, dares him to start labour dispute

I live in China, and this is common practice. Most companies here will fire people without notice (4 weeks is the legal minimum) or compensation (one month salary per year left on your contract, minimum 1 month, maximum 6 months).

Filing a labor dispute is trivially easy though, and will be sorted within 14 days. Most workers however are afraid of repercussions, since usually company execs are well connected, and reference checks would reveal that someone is a “noisemaker”. Also, most actual shop-floor workers have zero knowledge about the legal system and give up before even evaluating options.

Truly the land of the liberated worker

Squizzy ,

This is very out of place given the HR drama from Western businesses this week. This seems legitimate to me to me to be fair, probation period not being passed is fine.

Their state religion is worker liberation

Lmaydev ,

I am illegally terminating you now. What can you do about it?

Very legitimate and professional.

Squizzy ,

I didn’t say she was acting properly, but not giving someone a permanent spot or refusing to offer a contract after a probationary period is not uncommon or problematic.
