UPDATE (October 14, 2016 at 3.20pm CST): Turns out this story was a hoax. Read more about what employees from the company had to say here.

We’ve all had bad bosses. But this boss? This boss might be the worst. 

Photos of a bizarre work ritual began circulating on Weibo last week and have since gone viral. And it’s no wonder why. The photos appear to show a group of women lining up and taking turns kissing a man – and that man is their boss. 

To make the situation even more creepy, these female employees are actually required to kiss their boss every morning as part of a company bonding ritual.

According to What's on Weibo, female employees are required to participate in this team building exercise (if that’s what you want to call it) every morning between 9-9.30am. The photos were reportedly taken at a business in Tongzhou. 

CCTV published an article about the strange company ritual on Weibo last weekend. The photos quickly went viral, and the article received 11 million hits in a single day. 

So, if you’re having a bad day at work today, just be glad you don’t work for this guy.
