This strange incident happened in Tianjin city (China). The main character in this story is a man named Wang. Everything started in December 2014, when Wang had to undergo surgery to correct anorectal malformation.
A man surnamed Wang in China was fired for going to the toilet 3 hours a day during work hours.
Anorectal malformation is a type of congenital malformation that occurs during fetal development in the womb. Abnormalities caused by malformations cause the rectum and anus to have an abnormal structure, making it difficult to excrete.
Mr. Vuong started working at the company in April 2006. The name of the company was not disclosed to the media. Everything went smoothly until December 2014, when he had to undergo surgery to correct his deformity.
About a month after the surgery, the incision had healed, but he still felt pain in his anus and rectum. By July 2015, the problem began to get worse and caused him to spend 3 to 6 hours a day in the toilet, according to the South China Morning Post (China).
The company that hired Mr. Vuong recorded that in about 1 week, from September 7 to 15, 2015, Mr. Vuong went to the restroom more than 20 times. Each time he went to the restroom, it took 47 minutes to 196 minutes, or more than 3 hours. The company then terminated the contract with Mr. Vuong in September 2015.
In October 2015, Mr. Wang took the case to court to claim his rights. Since then, the two sides have been in a lawsuit that has lasted for many years. Recently, the Tianjin City High Court issued its final judgment. The court stated that Mr. Wang's toilet time exceeded "normal and legitimate physiological needs." Therefore, Mr. Wang lost the case.
The incident has attracted the attention of the Chinese public and has become a hot topic of discussion on social media. Some comments criticized Mr. Wang’s habit of taking too long to go to the toilet, while others sympathized with his situation, saying that he was suffering from the consequences of the surgery, according to the Lao Dong Daily (China).
