Liu works for a private firm in Beijing. "It is obviously unrealistic to ask my boss for a month's leave just to watch football at home," he said. "Quitting seemed a more practical choice." To Liu's surprise, he didn't have to take this drastic measure as his boss, Lin Yuan, introduced flexible work time during the Worl...展开更多
