A new intern in Beijing saw their career dreams vanish on the very first day, reportedly getting fired for not returning to the office late at night. The whole surreal experience was shared on Reddit by user popo_fish, detailing their first day at Alpha Test, a company that focuses on SAT preparation and coaching.
Per Newsweek, the official work hours were clearly set from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., but the intern explained they actually stayed an extra half-hour, until 6:30 p.m., just to wrap up some tasks before heading home. However, about an hour after leaving, they got a surprising call from the company.
