Recently, news emerged that Great Wall Motor is set to do away with the alternate workweek schedule and roll out a two - day weekend system. This significant change is slated to be officially put into effect in 2026 and will apply to all its employees.

An employee who has been with Great Wall Motor for eight years remarked that the company's proactive measures to alleviate work pressure have gone beyond what was anticipated. Although the 10 - day high - temperature leave has been scrapped, the actual reduction in the total number of vacation days is merely 5 days. In return, employees will enjoy a consistent two - day weekend system throughout the entire year, which is actually a pretty favorable arrangement.

On platforms such as Maimai, some employees also disclosed that the two - day weekend system will be implemented starting from 2026. Many employees have expressed their delight and excitement about this change.

Moreover, in the context of the industry's resistance to cut - throat competition, companies like BYD and CATL have already increased their employees' salaries. The adjustments in labor and compensation policies by automakers and their supply chains are likely to have a positive ripple effect across the entire automotive industry chain.
