A heated discussion on mainland social media came after the retail giant’s boss Yu Donglai announced a series of new management rules on his social media account on January 13, Jimu News reported.
“Based on the spirit of freedom, the belief in love and the mission of letting more people live a happy life, Pang Dong Lai has made more and more rules by learning Chinese and advanced global management methods,” said Yu.
The new rules include forbidding its employees from opposing or obstructing their spouse’s request for divorce in cases of an unhappy marriage.
“From this year, domestic violence is not permitted in the families of our staff. Hitting your child is also not allowed,” the rules read.
