It is a popular tradition for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) to only begin operations or work on auspicious days after the Chinese New Year if their managers are superstitious. It matters even on the day people take a vacation from work to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
Here’s a summary of the days you should stop and start working based on the often-visited Feng Shui websites and some important observances to remember if you want to put them into effect!
On what day in 2024, on Chinese New Year, should one stop working and resume work?
It’s a familiar concept among bosses that reopening your firm on an unlucky day increases the likelihood of poor luck for the remainder of the year!
The best times and days to leave work in February 2024, according to this website, are:
7 February
9 February
The following are the ideal dates to return to work following the Lunar New Year celebrations:
12 February from 9 AM to 9:30 AM
13 February at noon
16 February at noon
20 February from 8 AM to 9:30 AM
Another fengshui website warned that 24 February 2024 is a blackout day for returning to work. This implies that you should abstain from all job-related activity on such dates, including checking work emails!
What should you do if you have to quit working and resume work during the Chinese New Year holiday?
Yes, the tasks above have certain requirements. As part of the tool-down process, perform the following:
Clear off the clutter from your workstation and give it a thorough cleaning. Kindly dispose of the pineapple tarts from the previous Chinese New Year.
Put a red packet, or ang pao, in the drawer. You can leave it there until the Chinese New Year of the following year as a sign of good fortune at work. You can select any quantity.
Pay off every loan that remains. It’s time to give your coworker the money you never got around to paying them! Nobody is a lender or a borrower; everyone should be cleared off the ledger.
