A Chinese company was pulled up by officials after backlash to a notice that required unmarried employees to be married by the end of September or face potential termination.
The Shuntian Chemical Group, located in east China’s Shandong province, issued a notice last week that stated that the company believed in the values of “diligence, kindness, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness”, according to The Global Times. Further, it said that employees should live by these values in their own lives, and that marriage and children were the road to doing so.
