[originaltext] It used to be quite an embarrassing thing in China for a pers

It used to be quite an embarrassing thing in China for a person to be dismissed by his or her employer. But things are different now.
    Take Beijing as an example. Many people now seek the opportunity to be sacked. Last year, some 14,000 people succeeded in leaving their work places by resigning or having their employers dismiss them. Many of them were the backbone of their enterprises, including skilled workers and college graduates just assigned to their work places.
    Enterprise leaders hold that many things account for the changing of jobs. Some people are not content with the situation in their work units; some are attracted by the higher income of self-employed workers and those who work for foreign interest-involved businesses.
    A woman used to work for a commerce college as a teacher in Beijing, but she found it more interesting to work for a corporation as an office worker.
    She said: "Satisfaction in my career is what I want."
    Not all of those who left their work units find new jobs instantly. They become frequent visitors to the labor market in the capital. Some are lucky and are well received, but some are not, especially those who do not have special professional skills. So it’s not unusual that many people go back to their former work places, because they are not able to find new jobs in the market.
