The video shows that the factory staff a grid, everyone squatted in the grid, some because of boredom, sitting in the grid to slide mobile phones. Workers at the factory also confirmed the incident.

Later, the topic of “drawing grids for employees” in the factory aroused public discussion, and some people agreed: “This is also good, keep a distance”. However, others criticized “painting a picture like a prison with no freedom”, “feeling like a prison” and “this is not treating people like human beings. Where is the dignity?”
