Did you know that in Hangzhou, China, there are companies where people actually pay to go to work? 🤯 For just RMB30 a day, you get a desk, WiFi, and even lunch.
Some say it helps with discipline and productivity, while others admit it’s more about showing off on social media — “Look, I’m working hard!” 📸 But it raises a big question: Why would anyone pay to go to work?
Before you laugh, think about it — aren’t you already “paying to work” every single day? 👀
✨ Here’s the hidden bill of working life:
🚗 Transportation (fuel, tolls, Grab)
🅿️ Parking fees
🥐 Breakfast, lunch, and that “reward” cup of coffee ☕
🍽️ Company or friend gatherings
👔 Clothes, makeup, grooming
You earn RM3,000, but after all these silent deductions, you might end up with less than RM1,500… and that’s before rent or unexpected expenses kick in.
⏳ And it’s not just money — it’s time.
Average daily commute times in Malaysia:
Kuala Lumpur: 42 mins
Petaling Jaya: 38 mins
Selangor: 51 mins
National average: 37 mins
That’s about 30 hours a month just on the road! Hours you could have spent resting or with family.
So… what’s your real “pay-to-work” bill?
👉 Add up your monthly lunch + fuel/transport + parking + clothes/makeup, and share your total in the comments. Let’s see who’s really paying the most to work! 😅
