BBC highlighted China’s trend of ‘full-time children’.

But…let me edit this: More Young Workers in China Taking Career Breaks Due to Burnout and Unsustainable Corporate Culture.

The term ‘full-time child’ is highly misleading, creating the image of a 20-something lying on the couch, eating Doritos. while their aging parents try to tend their needs. Reading the article, this is definitely not the case. It’s people with successful careers who are having trouble with the excessive demands of long hours, little advancement, and micromanaging managers.

It is not sustainable.

So…they take a career break, re-evaluate their options, and go back to applying to jobs that might work better for their mental health.

Let’s stop this trend of “These young people don’t know the meaning of hard work” – it’s tired and overworked, just like them.
