Man, I never thought I’d end up stuck in Timor-Leste for two months. About twenty of us had our passports seized and we can't leave. The company promised they'd sort it out, but now there's no sign of them. Everyone else managed to get out ages ago, leaving just us. It really breaks your heart.
The company is all over the place now—Asia-Pacific, Armenia, Egypt. Word is they're still pulling in good money doing cross-border e-commerce and antique auctions. But when things go south, it's always us low-level staff who take the hit. The top brass cleared out long ago.
To anyone still working there, you really need to open your eyes. The company won't even hire people from Fujian anymore because they're scared of more trouble. If there's another crackdown, nobody's going to bail you out. Don't let yourself be treated like a lab rat—get out while you can. We’re holding onto a lot of evidence. If we end up getting deported, we're handing it straight to the authorities. The risks are way too high, so don't just look at the quick cash right in front of you.
