Are you not happy in your job? This company gives you ten days off if you are unhappy

In China, a supermarket chain has implemented an unconventional measure to address emotional distress in the work environment: a 10-day “unhappiness leave”.

Fat Dong Lai, a major company, has recognized that unhappiness at work can have negative effects on both personal well-being and job performance, and has decided to offer this break as a solution.

According to The Straits Times, Yu Dong Lai, founder and president of the chain, explained that the measure is based on the idea that It is better for employees not to come to work if they are not happy.

“We all have moments when we are not happyso if you’re not happy, don’t come to work,” Lai said.

This initiative reflects a shift in the way companies are beginning to address the impact of worker mental health, especially in Asia, where depression and other forms of emotional distress are becoming increasingly recognized such as occupational diseases.

In many traditional work cultures, employee emotional well-being has been a taboo topic.but this leave shows that the personal and emotional lives of workers directly affect their productivity.

Emotional discomfort, although not always visible, can manifest itself through attitudes of anger, sadness or disinterest, which is not It only affects the person in question, but also the image and performance of the company.

With this new policy, Fat Dong Lai seeks to foster a healthier and more understanding environmentallowing your employees to take the time necessary to recover their emotional well-being without compromising their job.

This innovative approach could be a role model for other companies looking to promote mental health in their work spaces, recognizing that employee well-being is key to business success.
