Outstanding Enterprise Selection Competition

Ding Pengxing is still hospitalized, and the issue of drinking culture has caused a huge uproar, even starting to veer off-topic and escalate...

Ding Pengxing inexplicably incurred the hatred of other entrepreneurs.

He himself was unaware of it, as he was taking care of his health. He couldn't understand why he suddenly had a stomach hemorrhage after only having a little alcohol that day.

The doctor told him that he should never drink alcohol again and not indulge in momentary pleasures, otherwise he would have to wait for the next time he had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Ding Pengxing, having suddenly lost his beloved, was unwilling to accept reality and kept pestering the doctor for a long time, asking, "Can I still drink that rice wine?"

"Are alcoholic beverages okay?"

"Just a little bit? I'll put it in my mouth and taste it."

The doctor was exasperated and at his wits' end with this alcoholic. In the end, he had no choice but to give a slightly acceptable limit: "After you are discharged from the hospital this time, you must not touch any alcohol for at least a year. After a year, you can drink a small amount, but pay attention to the measure word, it is a small amount."

Ding Pengxing left satisfied after hearing that he could drink.

There are only six months left until the New Year; time flies!

Thinking about it, Ding Pengxing opened his work tablet.

Even in his hospital bed, he didn't forget about work; he's truly a great boss. It's rare to see a boss like him, already in a high position and successful in his career, still possessing such a drive and ambition…

After completing this daily routine of mentally preparing himself, Ding Pengxing finally began... surfing the internet.

You always need to rest for a while before you officially start working, otherwise how can you have the energy to work?

Then I opened Weibo and found out that my company was in trouble again... Goodness, I might as well just go to work.

The secretary didn't tell him, probably because she wanted him to take good care of his health; these were trivial matters.

Ding Pengxing: If I hadn't come, my house would have been demolished.

Why are they fighting amongst themselves?

Weren't we originally talking about drinking culture? How did it escalate into a discussion about the older generation controlling the younger generation?

When did I take control of you?

Even the endings of Chinese essays aren't as profound as yours.

The post, which appeared to be from a Weibo account belonging to one of the company's employees, was likely a rant online from someone who wanted to quit the company.

They claimed that the company had strict rules, a rigid hierarchical structure, and an extremely unhealthy performance evaluation system.

Ding Pengxing disagreed. This was a company, not a charity kindergarten. Of course, there had to be a hierarchy and administrative efficiency at the start of the school year.

Continuing on, the next point will discuss the age-old topic of drinking culture.

They say that outside the company, at least they drink with outsiders, and the boss is somewhat restrained, but inside the company, they really don't behave like human beings.

Ding Pengxing: Are you exaggerating here?

“At the dinner table, ordinary employees have to toast each person in turn. Then, those who are close to their superiors have to help their superiors avoid drinking. When toasting, they also have to make sure that the toasts are not repeated.”

"Otherwise, we'll make you lose face, forcing you to drink while listening to the management's bullshit values."

"Those who think about linking their personal future with the company's fate, who think about doing things to the best of their ability, and who are always thinking about money will never amount to much."

"Saying that you're taking on more work is to cultivate your work abilities, learn more new skills, and develop yourself into a versatile talent—bullshit!"

"Isn't saying that the same as saying you shouldn't stay in your comfort zone?"

Do you think the job you've given me is my comfort zone?

"In that case, I suggest you step out of your comfort zone and let me in. I'm happy to slack off."

Ding Pengxing dismissed it: "This is such a trivial matter, just some drinking etiquette. Is it really necessary to escalate it?"

You guys were having a good time drinking back then, so why are you turning your backs on me now?

Furthermore, he only teaches successful experiences. If you don't listen, fine, but why post them online to insult people? It's precisely because he succeeded that what he did is the reason for my success.

No wonder people say that you employees have no future and can only be ordinary wage earners for the rest of your lives.

“The company has a serious problem with nepotism. Even though it’s not a small family-run workshop, the relatively easy and lucrative positions are specifically given to our own people.”

"The boss does this, and so do the leaders; the main principle is that those above set an example for those below."

“If anything goes wrong, subordinates will be made to clean up the mess, and if they don’t do it properly, they will get scolded.”

"Just because we're not related to you by blood doesn't mean we deserve to take the blame, right?"

Ding Pengxing continued to disagree: "Otherwise what? Do you think your efforts alone can equal the accumulation of several generations of ours?"

That's just how the world is; you can only blame yourself for not being born into a good family.

In summary—

Ding Pengxing truly and vividly portrayed what it means to say, "The fault isn't mine, it's the world's."

However, netizens in the comment section under this blog post were not going to tolerate Ding Pengxing.

Basically, Ding Pengxing's company suffers from multiple problems, and it's almost completely rotten. It has all the symptoms of a bad company.

This has evoked strong feelings of sympathy from many netizens.

"I hate those people who engage in nepotism in the company the most. They come to work, but instead they have all sorts of schemes and backstabbing. Are they trying to smother people?"

“Most middle managers in companies are now in their 40s. Their values ​​and worldviews are completely different from those of young people. People of this age also like to teach others how to be good people. When you do something that doesn’t meet their expectations, they will try to educate you. Sometimes it’s not even about work. They just want to mold you into their image.”

"Hilarious! I used to work for a small family-run business, which was basically a husband-and-wife operation. They were incredibly stingy. To give you a simple example, they wouldn't even order meat dishes for their company team-building events."

"The situation upstairs is really terrible."

Then came a popular comment that saw a surge in likes.

"Seeing how angry everyone is in the comments section, I couldn't help but write a cathartic story for you all. But I'm not saying I'm writing a cathartic story; this is my real experience, which I can offer for your reference."

"I now work for an ordinary private company with about three or four hundred employees, and I have completely fallen out with my stingy boss."

“I had a good working relationship with the company before, and my employment contract was for a relatively long period, so they can’t lay me off because of the employment contract.”

"Since we've fallen out, I'm too lazy to even bother with formalities. If you say something to me, I'll just give you a straight-up retort."

"Don't underestimate me. I study how to insult my boss intensively every day in 'The Way of the Corporate Slave'."

"As mentioned earlier, my boss was stingy last time. He really didn't want to compensate me a single penny, and since he can't be laid off, I'm stuck here in this awkward situation."

"Our relationship is in a state where he can't stand me but can't do anything about it."

"Brothers, I have to say, this is really awesome."

"Going to work every day has become one of the few joys in my life."

“He even assigned someone to keep an eye on me, probably hoping they would find fault with me so they could fire me without any problem. But sorry, I know the law, and I know the Labor Contract Law very well. Illegal dismissal requires compensation of 2N.”

"I wouldn't mind receiving a windfall like this."

"What followed was the whole process of my battle of wits with the company. They wanted to force me to leave by unilaterally changing my job position and reducing my salary. However, changing a job position and reducing salary without consulting the employee constitutes a change to the terms of the employment contract, and therefore requires compensation."

"Only a fool would listen to their arrangements and be transferred to another position."

"Since you can be so cruel to me, why should I give you face?"

"With this in mind, I continued to persevere."

"Then they wanted to fire me for not being able to meet the requirements of my current job. Unfortunately, if an employee is not competent for their job, they need training. Only if they are still not competent after a month can they be fired. And even then, the company is still required to compensate the employee with N+1."

"That's why I'm telling you brothers, you don't need to live so cautiously. We're all experiencing life for the first time, so why should we give way to them!"

All I can say is that the author of this long review is incredibly brave and fearless. What does it mean to have a badass life that needs no explanation? Isn't this it?

"Damn, you're the real role model for us all!"

"As long as you're thick-skinned enough, it's not impossible to fight the company to the death, hahaha! I'm determined to get this severance pay!"

"The original poster is too idealistic. They're missing a method: the boss manipulates you until you can't take it anymore and quit on your own."

"Hey upstairs, things have gotten this bad, is it possible for you to reverse-engineer the boss's behavior? How much money are you making now? What's your industry ranking? What are your development plans for next year? Are you aware of any new market changes? How many business associations have you joined, and how many people know you?"

After browsing through the entire post, it's clear that this poster is a frequent user of the "Shared Legal Aid Program," as they speak with great confidence and eloquence.

Ding Pengxing: Luckily, it wasn't an employee of my company, otherwise my high blood pressure would never have come down.

He even had the leisure to sympathize with the unfortunate company that had encountered such an employee.

It felt somewhat like we were both in the same boat.

Since the incident involving the reimbursement of hidden costs from labor arbitration for the 8 million yuan donation, it seems that Meng Feifei has gained new insights.

She decisively and immediately arranged for the programmers to set up a donation channel, with the main theme of "uniting the proletariat of the world".

The 8 million yuan donation is like stagnant water; if no other fresh water comes in, it will dry up sooner or later.

So, now is the time.

As a result, the topic of reimbursing the hidden costs of labor arbitration has been thriving ever since.

Which worker can resist sanctioning their own company?

Because of the drinking culture incident, someone even provided the forum's customer service with development ideas for a new version on the [Streetlight] forum.

"It is suggested that the authorities collect information from all the workers on the forum and compile a list of companies to avoid, especially those that are considered bad companies."

"You know what I mean! I really need this +1+1, I'm begging you with my life!"

"Wait a minute, let me correct the main post. This isn't a list of bad companies to avoid; it's a list recognizing outstanding companies. If you call it a list of bad companies to avoid, they can sue you for defamation."

"Wow, I'm getting excited! So when will the official forum version be updated? They're probably already preparing to create new folders!"

Consequently, discussions about the selection and competition for outstanding enterprises became very heated.

But the matter with Ding Pengxing's company is not over yet.

It seems that the colleague who took the lead in complaining about his company gave another victim the courage to finally send out the blog post that she had been editing for a long time.

About two weeks ago, I was nearly sexually assaulted while the company had a department dinner.

The outline of another iceberg hidden behind the drinking culture and power relations is gradually becoming clear.

What follows is a minor climax.
