Male worker asks for leftover rice from the company to bring home for dinner

No shame

"Is it embarrassing to take company lunch home to eat?", male worker Nguyen Duc Hoa (29 years old, living in Binh Duong province) opened the clip with a quote that made viewers curious.

While other workers were eating, Mr. Hoa scooped rice into a thermos to take home.

"I waited until everyone was almost done eating, and then I asked for some leftover rice to take home. I only took enough rice to eat, not too much. So now I have rice at home, I don't have to cook," Hoa said.

The case of a male worker bringing leftover food home from work is stirring up a lot of controversy (Photo cut from clip: Provided by the character).

The clip posted on social media has attracted thousands of comments and debates about whether it was right for a male worker to bring food home.

TP account wondered: "Is this action considered as taking company property home without permission? This is the first time I've seen a worker take food home."

Besides this opinion, many accounts spoke up in defense.

"If no one eats leftover rice, it has to be thrown away. There is nothing wrong with taking leftover rice home after your colleagues have finished eating, and it also avoids wasting food, especially during times when workers are facing difficulties," said PN.

Speaking to Dan Tri reporter, Mr. Nguyen Duc Hoa confirmed that taking leftover rice home is normal at the factory where he works. Having been a worker there since 2014, Mr. Hoa said that this is something he does regularly.

"Sometimes workers bring leftover rice home, but most of them are women. This is a way for me to save money by just eating at home and cooking my own food with cheap ingredients," Mr. Hoa shared.

According to male workers, saving is one of the important and necessary measures in workers' lives, especially during this time (Photo: Character provided).

Although bringing food home only helps reduce a small monthly expense, for Mr. Hoa, it is very meaningful in the context of the factory cutting working hours and income is no longer the same as before.

"My salary used to be 8 million VND/month, now it's only 6 million. In the future, the situation will probably be even more difficult because the job requirements are getting more and more strict while the salary has not increased," the male worker confided.

Tighten spending, earn more income

To stay in Ho Chi Minh City during the time of reduced working hours, workers do not hesitate to take on many different jobs and save on family expenses.

Ms. Cao Thi Dieu (35 years old, from Thanh Hoa) is a worker at a company in Binh Tan district, Ho Chi Minh City. In the new school year, to save money, she had to "cut" her child's milk. Her daily meals are also only simple dishes.

In addition, many workers have come up with the idea of ​​producing content on social networks with clips recording the daily lives of workers to earn extra income.

The Tiktok channel Hien Trang TV of two sisters Tran Thi Thu Trang (23 years old, living in Tra Vinh province) and Tran Thi Thu Hien (28 years old) has 38,000 followers.

Thanks to their simplicity and honesty, the two sisters always receive support and positive comments from the online community. This "side job" helps the two sisters earn an additional income of 1-5 million VND per month.

"Income comes from three sources, including running ads for brands, opening your own sales channels, or receiving gifts converted into cash on live broadcasts," Hien said.

Male worker Ngoc Banh said that the income from his second job makes his family's finances much less stressful (Photo: Character provided).

Similarly, male worker Huynh Ngoc Banh (29 years old, from Hau Giang province, working as a worker in Binh Duong) has a Tiktok channel with more than 365,000 followers and 6.5 million likes for all videos posted.

One million VND was Mr. Bảnh’s first income thanks to an advertisement clip for a famous food brand. In addition to the Tiktok channel, the male worker also develops a lot of content on the Facebook platform. This second source of income helps Mr. Bảnh and his family have a more stable life.
