The PR chief in the middle of the PR crisis at Baidu is now reportedly unemployed.
It is the latest twist in a viral story in China that has hit a nerve with youth fed up with long working hours.
She acts as if she owns the company, but she is just another employee getting exploited. FYI, She is the mistress of Baidu's CEO's secretary.
Too much information….mistress of Baidu’CEO ‘s secretary. So Li Yanhong’s secretary is a man?
@@lynzhu6934 Yes. Male assistant.
LOL so much for having top notch work ethics to get to where she is. She just sleeps her way up, one bed at a time. Must be difficult giving up morals right haha
Like the peidu mamas and shandong university Xue ban學伴 even hainan infamous 椰子樹柳腰細腿搖呀搖。 also 文心一言AI🤷🏼♂️
Hmm ... she's already rich in her own right. Don't think it's necessary to be a mistress. Possible but not likely.
S’pore somewhat the same albeit less extreme. Lots of discrimination allowed, expected to answer calls and rush work from last minute requests on your offdays, some managers or directors of big MNCs even made meetings on weekend falling on Sundays mandatory to attend. Why is that so. Because in S’pore there are no legislation or much individual rights being legislated to protect employees against such culture. Bosses can yell 4-letter words at directs and HR will often side management(HR’s satisfaction KPI is dependent of mgmt’s feedback) since employees can’t sue and incur any loss to the company. HR can ask for your age, whether you are married, have children or plan to get pregnant etc intrusive queries during interviewing of candidates.
The govt is weak on human has always been, so employers take advantage n bully
The hr will ask when you finish o level and ask your age. If you pregnant they scold are you stupid, so I say govt is weak
True true. That’s the same globally. It’s just different countries have different laws. European countries are more liberated, more individual rights, but higher cost of living, taxes, crime rates and etc. Nothing is perfect I guess.
Science says people are only doing 3 hours of effective, productive work a day. Being at the office 12 hours a day gives face, not productivity. If a company wants higher returns, lessen the work day and work week.
Some Asian countries have enormous pressuring work styles including Singapore, Japan, Korea.
How to work 996? I am dozing off by the time it's 2+pm
996 will not work for long term. Some even go further with 007 with no life. Just working and stay in office every day.
that's just tip of the iceberg.Exploitation of working class is terrible in China.I'm not at a bit surprise at all
Sg civil service sector also asked women applicants whether they intend to have children or have 2nd child or more during interview. If the answer is yes, the applicants might not be hired.
Poor thing, she forgot she is still working under someone.
did someone says Karma? Totally PR fail by the PR chief😂😂
innovation doesnt need hard work it needs free mind not tiered one
With this type of mindset you will never be able to get a job at east-Asia, Work culture in east-Asia is very competitive, and not all position are innovative, however they do require a person to put prioritization on the company rather than yourself. Try leaving the office before your boss at 5pm in Korea, or even Japan, next day you will be fired. TSMC US staff are extremely angry with the work culture, while only the Chinese themself are willing to work longer hours, and same goes for the Taiwan TSMC.
Absolutely untrue. Innovations require hands and mind at the same time
She is just stating the harsh facts.
Amazon makes employees wear diapers so they don't waste time going to the the toilet.
complete fail in management. vp? laughable. Some people just don't get it. It is obvious that high ranking personal would have a higher % to put their families 2nd and company 1st. But to most people who are non-management, work-life balance is important. Why? Just look at the difference in pay. lol. its 2024 and yet still got people like that... LOL.
So trueeee
Exactly. Silly opinion that everyone wants to be CEO or just pick up a normal home to nurture. Social media identity feels more like obsession of poison than freedom of expression
This! People nowdays want to have pay as high as CEO but working hour as little as normal staff. It does not work that way.
@@XienRue I believe if there are people who think like that; that they want to work in non-management roles and have the freedom to pursue their life choices, then they should be realistic because indeed, the world doesn't work that way. However, i doubt there are many people who think like that because its just silly. If a company pays everyone like how they pay their CEO, the company will declare bankrupt in no time. LOL
It’s great to be dedicated to your work BUT do not do it at the expense of those around you. Everyone has different circumstances and it would be utterly insensitive and cruel to expect everyone to put in that kind of effort into the job. YES, income/career is important. NO, family and personal well-being is equally, if not, even more important. Strike a balance, there is more to life than just work.
I thought that's normal asian talk
I have seen a worst off executive, who doesn't work hard but continue to blame his staff for anything
You 996 and your app still sucks. Maybe its time to take a break and strategize. Get more done with less time. Make correct decisions so that projects do not get cancelled due to poor decisions. This saves everyone time and resources.
Reminds me of the phrase '50 steps laughing at 100 steps'....
why not? 50 and 100 are 100% different; this Chinese idiom is so backward but still embraced by Commtards.
Toxic corporate culture? Hello... It's everywhere. Toxic work culture in Singapore is the worst in Southeast Asia. The report is like such work practices only happens in China and totally alien to Singaporeans. Please la...
Singapore is not the worst. It is 5 day work week. From 9-6 or 8.30-5.30.
@@mars-uy8lr obviously you have never been in the rat race.
Its now the world of remote work , you need to enjoy work at home while in pyjamass😂
she can do this because there are few laws that protect workers' privileges. Just like NCS, it can behave audaciously on its Singapore's workers but when it moved to Australia, it has to observe the local working culture or risk outlash from the govt.
Ironic. Now that Qu is probably forced to resign, she has time to "take care" of her family.
These execs probably made a lot of $$ when they started 996
Government employees get 4 days work week, but do you know Private sectors employees are working 996 or even 997…deskbound get paid more for 996 or 997, but while lower entry get paid max at the minimum wage so called law, so if you want to make your life to meet the minimumn needs you have to work 996 or 997 all depend on that meagre OT.
Her kids life must be miserable.
The damn corporation doesnt own my body n soul...Leave such co if u feel u are exploited...even if they pay u "well"... always remember one important thing...u are nothing but just a number in your co. Once u drop dead or fall really ill u are replace easily n theres no real compassion. So never ever die for a company. I have been working for almost 50 yrs...take my word for it. No salary is worth your body n soul at certain point...
High unemployment rate & weak economy in China. If employees leave a company, it could be very hard to find another job to survive, whereas companies have a large pool of candidates to hire from.
996? Try 7724 from 25 years ago, youth these days have good life ahead. So happy for them
fantastic a less greedy person in the industry
In a society where they are nurtured only to know the price of everything but the value of nothing (humanity), this sort of behaviour is not surprising.
She has a lot of courage to speak up. Btw 996 is already not the worst, at times it can be 9-12-7 in other industries and not just in China.
The ex boss insist he is right and doesn’t let you speak, you need to quit. In court plaintiff and defendant havre to speak.
She needs more freelance husband 😂😂
Weak people. Truly.
someone i know works part time as a teacher in MOE. But MOE makes sure that even when he is a part time teacher- his workload is same as full time teacher. So forget about China- look at your own back yard.
Good or bad, work for human's happiness and prosperity. Work ceaselessly and you will see the drop of love of life.
Ora da disoccupata avrà più tempo per conoscere suo figlio e scoprire che classe frequenta. Spero non trovi più lavoro in questo settore come lei minacciava di poter fare con una semplice telefonata verso i colleghi non allineati. Bene, goditi il tempo libero e ama tuo figlio.
Australia is copying Asia
norm in china, slavery, no human right!
Yes, I doubt you ever work before. Go and badmouth your employer and see what happens? 😂
@@debl5848 badmouth? for what? just say the truth & fact, in china see what will happen? your reply is so personal, I doubt you are rational & logical.
@@debl5848 He's not bad mouthing. This is the truth. He is saying exactly the same thing on weibo by fellow chinese. Don't let ultra-nationalism blind you，韭菜。
Hehe, according to your logic, Singapore and the US is Chinese colonies because both share similar toxic work culture.
Let's always do alot of good ❤️
she is very lazy....an average worker should work 22 hours a day....
Dun worry kids.. AI will soon take over your tiring work.. All can relax at home soon.. 😂😂
Rich people Good upbringing?
關係🤷🏼♂️
SG? My boss whatsapps me to do work on weekday nights and on weekends. Ha.
it is sad so see someone who value shareholder value go.
That's the worst sort of executive, no vision except for increasing profits.
