Why are Chinese employees selling to their bosses and colleagues online? – Life & Style

It goes without saying that all jobs involve some level of stress. However, if the workplace environment is unpleasant and the boss is unsupportive and apathetic, employees experience additional stress.

Such an unfair work environment can lead to increased negativity, depression, and conflict.

And when this became the norm in China, young professionals adopted unique ways to deal with the stress of their jobs.

An anonymous seller told the South China Morning Post, ‘Someone had paid before, but I applied to offer them a refund, and I deleted the listing following that. This is just my way of venting, not actually buying or selling anyone. I saw a lot of people selling their jobs on Xianyu, and I thought it was interesting, so I wanted to try it too.’
