WALL STREET JOURNAL - Former TikTok US staffers tell of sleep deprivation, work on weekends, and mandatory meetings with colleagues on the other side of the globe.

Some state that there are health problems such as weight fluctuations, very low stress, or emotions to potentially life-threatening conditions.
