Chinese employees are "selling" their bosses and coworkers online

A viral trend in China has emerged where employees humorously list their bosses, colleagues, and jobs for sale on second-hand e-commerce platforms like Xianyu, Alibaba's site. This trend serves as a playful coping mechanism for stress from toxic workplaces. Listings include "annoying bosses," "terrible jobs," and "hated colleagues," priced between ₹4 to ₹9 lakh. One user offered her job for ₹91,000, claiming it pays ₹33,000 monthly. Another joked about selling a sarcastic colleague for 3,999 yuan. Despite these listings, transactions are usually canceled, and no real sales occur. This practice is seen as a way to vent frustration, with people reacting with both amusement and concern over the trend's potential to go too far.
