On Alibaba’s ‘Jianyu’ second-hand e-commerce portal, plenty of Chinese employees are selling their employers, jobs, and coworkers. Employees are thought to be taking this action to reduce their burden and stress.
It goes without stating that stress exists in all forms of employment. However, the individual might feel more stress if the work environment is uncomfortable and the supervisor is unkind. Young professionals in China have thus developed unique ways of coping to manage the stress of their occupations. There is a growing trend in the nation where employees are using second-hand e-commerce platforms to post their employers, coworkers, and jobs for sale.
Many people are using Alibaba’s “Jianyu” platform for second-hand e-commerce to sell both their employment and coworkers in order to relieve workplace stress. It’s thought that Chinese workers are taking this action to lighten their workload and anxiety.
The South China Morning Post claims that this website has some positions marked as “jobs for sale.” People have been labeled as “hateful coworkers,” “useless jobs,” and “annoying bosses.” Furthermore, a fixed price of Rs 9 lakh instead of Rs 4 lakh has been set for their sale.
The third professional claimed to be under a lot of mental stress due to regular arguments and censure from his supervisor, who he listed for sale for 500 yuan (about Rs 5,742).
