Shocking As Chinese Employees Encouraged to Wear Masks At Work

In the city of Handan, located in the province of Hebei, employees are encouraging workers to wear masks when they are at their jobs in an effort to lessen the tension they feel. 

The concept behind this approach is that Chinese workers believe that they are under constant pressure to control their facial expressions and must always be smiling when interacting with customers. This stress has been taking its toll on office productivity.

But there is a deeper consequence to these employees constantly feeling that they have to be ‘on.’ According to reports, over 600,000 workers die in China each year from overwork. 

If  other companies find that letting workers wear Guy Fawkes and No Face masks at work lowers that number, the government might look into mandating this policy nation-wide and buying everyone a Joker mask. Then everyone will always be smiling.
