The three men were snapped sitting on a toilet while smoking and using their phones. The company reportedly used the images to warn other employees about violating company policies, according to a leaked internal file.

A staff member told Red Star News: “The cameras will definitely catch private moments, but frankly speaking, the policy has advantages and disadvantages.” It comes after another bizarre boss refused to hire people who have the number five as the fifth digit of their phone number. The boss of the education company in Shenzen, China reportedly told job applicants to change their number if they’re serious about getting a role at the firm. The strange requirement for the job is based on the superstition that having a five as the fifth digit of a phone number will bring bad luck. The bizarre condition – which has nothing to do with skills or work ethics – sparked a heated debate online.
