The top Weibo trending topic is “White Porpoise at Work”—just four words that sum up the plight of China’s office workers.
When a typhoon hits, the whole internet only worries about two things: where it’s going, and whether I have to go to the office tomorrow. Once the highest-level alert is issued, the subway stops running, and roads are closed; after the group chat message “Everyone, please stay safe,” there’s often another line: “Today’s meeting will still be held as scheduled.”
I genuinely want to ask: how does your company handle typhoon days—do they just call it a day, have everyone work from home, or do they make you figure out how to get to work yourself?
