The Chinese company relocated its office to the mountains to force employees to resign

A Chinese company relocated its office to the mountains in order to compel employees to resign. The executives were unwilling to provide compensation to the employees.

According to a former employee named Chan, the company's headquarters in Xi'an was shifted from the business center to a mountainous region. It is accessible only by taxi for $8 one way or by a bus that operates once every three hours. Additionally, public transportation does not directly reach the new office - employees had to walk another three kilometers along mountain trails, as reported by Scmp.com.

The working conditions at the new location were appalling. The area was infested with stray dogs, and female team members had to trek to a nearby village to use a public restroom. According to Chan, management informed them that they would be working at the new location until the following year. As a result, 14 out of over 20 employees resigned.

To their surprise, four days later, they discovered that the company had returned to the business center and was actively hiring new employees. A company spokesperson refuted all allegations, claiming that it was a temporary move, purportedly for a week, due to renovations at the headquarters.

Furthermore, the company is contemplating legal action against former employees for disseminating defamatory information.
