coconutBeverage brand Coconut Palm wanted potential hires to agree to work for the company for the rest of their lives, putting up property deeds as collateral.

China’s leading brand of coconut milk has apologized for a recruitment ad calling for a lifetime contract for new hires.

coconut 2In a statement Thursday, Yeshu Group apologized for “lax review of the notice and improper wording.” Earlier this week, the company had announced vacancies but said it would require aspiring employees to sign on the dotted line for life — and even require them to turn over deeds to their properties as a guarantee that they’d stick to their word.

In its now-deleted recruitment notice, Coconut Palm said it was looking for 40 new hires to join its “Yeshu managers training academy.” The document added that the property deed requirement was aimed at deterring job-hopping.

Coconut Palm’s demands angered many online, with a related hashtag on microblogging platform Weibo receiving more than 350 million views as of Friday afternoon.

Legal experts say Coconut Palm’s hiring notice likely violated China’s labor law. Under the labor law, companies cannot seize properties or demand guarantees from their employees.

椰树招人要求“终身服务”、“顾事业不顾家”,还得“抵押房产”!

椰树集团发布招聘信息:“椰树培养职业经理学校”公开招生,承诺总经理有总经理有百万年薪、别墅奖、分红股奖、海景房奖。这么丰厚的待遇固然让人心动,但提出的条件却也让人吃不消,不仅要求能力,关键是应聘者要作出两个承诺:

首先,应聘者要承诺“忠诚不谋私,顾事业不顾家”;其次,应聘者需承诺终身在“椰树”服务。

为了保证上面这两点,应聘者还要写承诺书,承诺以房产作抵押,离开椰树以房产偿还。

这则招聘发布之后,立刻在网络引发轩然大波,随后椰树集团也做了回应,确认了该招生简章的真实性,并称“抵押房产、签承诺书是硬性条件,这是集团的决定”。而之举的目的,是防止应聘者将“椰树”作为跳板、作为“镀金”、学到经验后跳槽。

虽然这个招聘信息已经被发布者“海南直聘”删除,但是并没有让这个争议话题降温。在微博上,不少网友追问,“这难道不就是卖身契?”还有人感慨,“和椰树的包装一样让人疑惑”。此外也有网友提出质疑,认为该行为不像是一个全国知名大企业的行为,更像是一场蓄意炒作

因为招聘信息到涉及“承诺以房产做抵押,离开以房产偿还”“终身服务”等内容,有律师表示这明显违反我国《劳动法》和《劳动合同法》的相关规定,用人单位不得以任何形式限制劳动者选择职业的权利和自由,所以属无效条款。
