The chairman and co-founder of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, Jack Ma, has sparked controversy by demanding that his employees work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. According to a post by Alibaba’s official Weibo account Ma said it’s a “huge blessing” for young people. 

Those who don’t want to work such long hours, he said, should not bother joining Alibaba. Responses to that Weibo post asked whether Alibaba pays overtime, and urged the company to follow the law in China, which limits working hours to 40 a week.
