Hangzhou's big sellers implement a 4.5-day work week! The first "anti-involution horn" in the cross-border circle is sounded

The 4.5-day work week is coming to the cross-border industry

A large number of operators are happy to get a 30-day holiday

January of every year is the time when major companies hold their annual meetings. In addition to the usual prizes such as mobile phones and bonuses, this year the cross-border giant "Zi Buyu" gave all employees a big gift - a 4.5-day work week!

This means that every Friday, employees only need to work half a day. At the same time, the company clearly stated that it would not reduce employee salaries or lay off employees . This news spread quickly on the Internet and attracted the attention and heated discussion of many netizens.

In the evening of the same day, the company staff gave a definite answer to the inquiry of the reporter of Zhejiang Stock 88, confirming this news that is enough to be recorded in the history books.

During the annual meeting, Zibuyu CEO Chen Caixiong said at the end of his speech: "I will give everyone a big gift, especially those born after 2000, they will definitely scream." At this time, the words "Zibuyu will implement a 4.5-day work week in 2025" appeared on the screen behind him, and the whole venue was boiling in an instant.

Who wouldn’t envy me? I can’t help but want to see how busy Zibuyu will be when it comes to recruiting next time, with so many resumes being submitted.

In addition, many operators posted their Spring Festival holidays online and on forums this year. Many sellers are happy to have a "winter vacation" this year.

An Amazon operator shared the company's holiday notice on the forum: a total of 20 days from January 18, 2025 to February 6, 2025, and normal work will resume on February 7.

In response, the operator boasted in a Versailles way: "I haven't had a winter vacation since I started working. This is the first time."

People also posted their own Spring Festival holidays in the comment section. Some only took the statutory holidays on the calendar, while others could take as long as 30 days.

However, in general, the phenomenon of long holidays in the cross-border industry has indeed increased this year, which may be related to the mediocre performance at the end of the year.

Are cross-border operations positions required to work overtime by default?

To be honest, when I first saw the news of the 4.5-day work week, I also felt a little unbelievable. This should be the first cross-border company in China to implement the 4.5-day work week.

For a long time, whether in cross-border forums or in big selling groups, many sellers would jokingly call their jobs "high-risk occupations."

Due to time differences, promotions, order volume, sudden new regulations and other issues, cross-border workers often bear both physical and mental pressure. Working overtime and watching the store after get off work also give cross-border jobs the label of "unpaid overtime".

"Last night was amazing. I woke up at 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, and 3 o'clock. After that, I just didn't sleep anymore."

"??? Do Amazon people go to bed so early? Shouldn't they go to bed at 2 or 3 o'clock?"

"I stayed up until 2am last night and watched over it myself when I got to work today , and only made a few orders."

Therefore, when other industries with less pressure in China were silent, Zibuyu, as a cross-border company with huge work pressure, took the lead in implementing the 4.5 work system. Promoting the concept that work efficiency is more important than working hours is of great significance to our cross-border industry.
