Have you ever woke up feeling down, sad or just angry? Making your way to work in such a state of mind can largely affect your performance at the office throughout the day. Wouldn’t it be great if you can just stay at home or go out and cheer yourself up?
Well, a company in China has a very unique way of taking care of its workers’ welfare. The workers would only need to inform their superiors that they are having a bad mood and they will be allowed to take leave for the day. No long winded excuses needed!

A happy worker will definitely contribute more to the company. Tan Sri Tony Fernandes once said, as quoted by BBC,
