Is it reasonable for the company to often let employees go to the kitchen to help cook during working hours?

There is no completely unreasonable problem. If you always ask enterprises to do this and that in accordance with the provisions of the labor law, 80% of enterprises in China will be unable to operate. There are many detailed provisions in the labor law. As long as it doesn't violate the major policy, you should open your book to find the basis for doing some small things, so that no one will live. There are many places to cross the road and take the zebra crossing, and you will be punished if you don't walk. In that case, everyone will die. It's not that the rules are bad, but that the rules are rules. You should abide by the rules, but if you blindly follow the rules, you will be trapped in a category and will be trapped to death.

Secondly, you always bring out the labor law to press the company. Admittedly, you are right, protect your own interests. However, you should know that the labor law is a book, and you work in an enterprise. If you want to be serious, you can sue the enterprise, resign or not do it. You can choose.

The fundamental solution is to gather the opinions of all your employees and ask the enterprise to give some economic compensation or other welfare supplements to the work outside the scope of work in a suggested way, because the enterprise violates your surplus value by doing so. You did more, but there was no return, and the enterprise benefited.
