Holiday Notice
To all comrades:
Due to the special significance of December 21, 2012, the company, after careful consideration, has made the following decision: the arrangement for the 2012 'Doomsday Holiday' will be a two-day holiday on December 20 (Thursday) and December 21 (Friday). During the holiday, we hope everyone can follow these points:
1. Please take fire and theft safety precautions during the holiday.
2. You may completely turn off your mobile phones during the holiday to ensure no disturbances.
3. Since everyone is usually busy with work, it is recommended to use this 'final' time to spend more time with your closest loved ones. We wish everyone a meaningful 'doomsday.'

Yesterday at noon, this holiday notice, stamped with the official seal of a certain Chengdu Internet Technology Company, quickly spread on Weibo.
Subsequently, reporters contacted the Weibo poster 'Darryn,' who stated that he is the general manager of the company. The reason for making this decision is that 'even if people were working on those two days, most probably would not be very focused. So it is better to find a reason for colleagues to spend time with their parents and loved ones, cherishing the so-called ‘doomsday.'
