Employees lured by "No Overtime" promise

A company has tried luring potential employees with a unique ploy at a
recent job fair in Beijing, advertising "no overtime in our company."

Beijing Business Today quotes the company's employees saying overtime is
not on the agenda in their firm, though heavy workloads and tight
schedules make extra hours common in other workplaces.

The report says many people are in a state of exhaustion from working
more than eight hours a day.

Chen Jieping, a section chief at the All China Federation of Trade Unions
says employees are actually covering two positions if they have to work
more than 10 hours a day.

For this reason, the culture of overwork keeps job vacancies away from
job hunters.
