What’s new: Chinese battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd.’s (CATL) (300750.SZ) corporate campaign to boost employee productivity has led to some working grueling hours, reigniting criticism over extreme work culture.
The world’s largest battery-maker has launched a “Strive for 100 Days” campaign, a company source told Caixin, leading to some employees at departments including research and development working from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week, in a schedule he referred to as “896,” the source said.
