Not a People Person
Zhang Ming, the general manager of a travel company in Jinan City, in Shandong Province, China, required employees to take turns reading his posts on Sina Weibo over a loudspeaker, and everyone was required to comment on the posts. Weibo is a Twitter-like web site. Most of the comments are an emoji meaning “Like”, but Zhang wasn’t satisfied with the level of comments, and fined more than 200 employees 50 yuan (US$6.50) each. Such fines are illegal in China. Zhang refused to comment to a reporter, but issued a statement that his company’s success was due to “a shared mind and strong execution abilities,” and the employees “needed mentoring” to increase morale. (RC/China Daily) ...The fines will continue until morale improves.Original Publication Date: 11 September 2016
