Xiaomi, a Chinese mobile phone manufacturer, was recently exposed that many departments within the company require employees to work an average of no less than 10.5 hours a day, and some groups even work up to 15 hours. If they fail to meet the standard, they may be interviewed by their supervisors, their performance may be affected, and they may even be persuaded to resign or fired. The news immediately attracted widespread public attention, but Xiaomi has not responded to it yet.

According to Chinese media "Jiupai News", several Xiaomi employees revealed that although the company has not issued formal written regulations on employee working hours, most supervisors will verbally require employees to work long hours to avoid leaving evidence, and the requirements for working hours in various departments are slightly different. An employee in the mobile phone department pointed out that his group needs to work an average of 12.5 hours a day, while the average daily working hours in other departments are as low as 10.5 hours and as high as 14 or 15 hours.

A Xiaomi employee in Shanghai said that the average daily working hours in his department are 11.5 hours, so he must start working at 9 am and work until 8:30 pm every day. Another Xiaomi employee in Jiangsu revealed that he previously worked an average of 12 hours a day, but was still interviewed by his supervisor because his working hours ranked low in the department. He further pointed out that he was warned that if he still did not increase his working hours after the interview, his performance evaluation would be affected.
