Q: Ticket office open, but ticket booking offline... tomorrow?

Why is the office still open when ticket sales are closed?

 

They just sit there.... mayo mayo... mintien mintien.

 

Why not just shut shop and go home to get ready for the 7am assault?

Amen. Another example I’ve observed several times, is when our suppliers suffer a power outage, yet require all employees to stay, even though sitting idle or on their phones, in the dark.

ScotsAlan:

Yup. Same as having to work this Saturday. No work will be done. I will probably fire off a few emails to Europe before I finish at 6pm, on a Saturday evening.

'Why is the office still open when ticket sales are closed?'

 

The main reason is because the manager gets no money out of this, nor the staff members under him or her. 

 

And if they call the boss about this, the boss will either get all the extra profits and/or ask who thought of this, and fire him or her after awhile using some lame excuses, because the person is likely to become his competitor one day, after learning the ropes and stealing the customer list. This is prc 'logic'.

I got a train ticket in the end. Heading out mid week, cant get a return yet.

My plan is to get there, have a few beers, then use my drunken homing instinct to get me home Smile

I always seem to get home ok.

These fixed holidays are fustrating. In the old days the UK had staggered holidays. Each town had a different week. Ok, not for national holidays. Summer Holidays. But at least you had a chance to get away.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change student visa to labourer one is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
