‘Scrub the toilet’: woman in China hired as media specialist forced to clean bathroom on first day – company faces online backlash
- A young professional in China is a workplace hero after outing a former employer who forced her to do demeaning jobs like cleaning toilets
- The woman was shocked on her first day when a company vice-president told her team to clean the bathroom for the next week
A woman in China who quit her job as a new media specialist after being forced to clean the bathroom on her first day has become an internet sensation on mainland social media after sharing her experience.
The woman, surnamed Chen, from Shenzhen, was shocked by what she described as a toxic working culture at her former employer where she worked for two days. On her first day, she was ordered to clean the bathroom with her colleagues for a week, Bailu Video reported.
Chen joined the company in October as part of a new media operation. As a new hire Chen said she wanted to get started as soon as possible in her new role.
However, she was shocked when a company vice-president and other colleagues told her team to clean the bathroom for the next week. Despite being confused and reluctant to do so, Chen followed the order.
“I didn’t know why they did that as it was beyond my scope of duties, so the next day I resigned,” Chen said.
