Take a day off if in bad mood

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today? Are you now on your
way to work, still in a bad mood?
Well, if you were working for the Shandong branch of Shengli Oilfield,
you would be able to take the day off today. In the hopes of improving
work efficiency, this branch of Shengli allows its employees to stay at
home when they are in a bad mood.
A commentary posted on the website Rednet says this is a good approach to
ensure the mental health of grassroots workers.
It notes that, for a long time, flexible working hours and paid holidays
have only been extended to a few office workers. Traditionally, employees
working these jobs were the ones who were believed to need a rest, as
they were thought to face the most pressure. Not much attention was paid
to state of mental health amongst blue-collar workers.
Another commentary published on the website interprets the issue in a
different way.
It says fierce competition and a fast-paced lifestyle highlights the
mental health problems of these employees.
It says taking a day off may help release tension and dissatisfaction to
some extent; however, this may not be the best option for the management.
The commentary says dissatisfaction deriving from the promotion of others
or the distribution of work cannot be solved with one or two days off.
Managerial staff should pay more attention to the reasons lying at the
root of their employees' foul moods.
