Around China : Karajorma commented on news Is it Legal? Young Woman Fired for Refusing to Join Office WeChat Group

If the group is a legitimate group and not an excuse for some perv to get hold of her number, I can see why it is legitimate grounds for dismissal. I tend to suspect it was just a ploy though. Although why she didn't simply get herself a second phone and use that. If she uses WiFi it would have cost her no more than ... Full Comment>>

Not exactly their fault really. They were called out to a dispute. We've seen plenty of examples on here of violent disputes over incredibly trivial matters so it's pretty understandable why they had to go. I actually quite like their solution, pay a few kuai and everyone is happy. I suspect that the comment in the ... Full Comment>>

Well it was pretty stupid of the guy to walk out on someone threatening to send nude pictures of him to his boss without ensuring he had control of the nude pictures. That said, it's a pretty dumb threat cause his follow up is to send nude pictures of her to everyone. Full Comment>>

You do really have to wonder what on Earth they thought was going to happen once they were on the plane.

Plenty of females game. The changes to the conventions in the west was designed to attract them rather than have them stay away because they are full of horny manchildren.

Most of the gaming conventions did the same thing in the West a couple of years back. It didn't affect attendance much at all. Hell, if the only reason you're going to a game convention is to see half naked girls there are better ways to achieve that, leave the conventions to those who are there for the games.
