SAP. A video allegedly showing a strange morning ritual at a Beijing company has raised the hackles of Chinese netizens.
Every morning, female employees are required to queue up and kiss their boss before beginning work at a company selling home brewery equipment, the Shanghaiist reported.
The boss claimed the intimate ritual "bonds them like fish and water", a report said.
Chinese netizens on Weibo were aghast but while criticising the boss, they also questioned why the employees accepted his outrageous behaviour.
It has improved cohesion in the company, the boss said. He also claims that his female employees miss him when he is overseas, and send him messages on WeChat.
