There are many products that accelerate "madness": there are many problems, and "disaster" is just around the corner?

"Watch it rise from a tall building, watch it entertain guests, and watch it roll over?" .

Pinduoduo has been listed in the United States for less than four years, and its market value exceeds $200 billion. Its founder once surpassed Ma Yun and became the richest man in China. Behind this soaring market value, we can see that Pinduoduo has been losing money until the third quarter of 2020. At this time, some people may wonder why Pinduoduo has been losing money, but its market value is increasing.

In fact, the most important reason is the rapid growth of GMV (online transaction volume of 840.2 billion) and active users (563 million) in Pinduoduo, and investors are optimistic about its future development.

It is one thing for investors to be optimistic about the future development, but if a company has been losing money and making no profit, the pressure from capital on its managers is undoubtedly enormous, because capital is profit-seeking. Then the problem will follow. If Pinduoduo wants to maintain a sustained market share and achieve dazzling results in a short period of time, compared with Taobao, Tmall, JD.COM and other established e-commerce companies which have been relatively mature and perfect for many years, Pinduoduo is bound to need to double the investment, whether it is manpower, material resources or financial resources. In this development process, if you work overtime forcibly, go beyond the working mode of 996, be result-oriented and implement by hook or by crook, problems will inevitably arise.

Event 1: sudden death of employees

On the morning of February 29th, 2020 1:30, Zhang, a female employee of Pinduoduo Company, was on her way home with her colleagues when she suddenly covered her abdomen and fainted and died suddenly. In the face of doubts from online public opinion, Pinduoduo Zhihu proudly responded: Look at the people at the bottom. I never think this is a problem of capital, but a problem of this society. This is an era of fighting with life. You can choose a comfortable life, but you should choose the consequences of ease. People can control their own efforts, so can we all.

As soon as this response came out, online public opinion instantly fried the pot. It turns out that a lot of fighting is really fighting with life. Generally, there are two meanings: first, everyone is an adult, and overtime is their choice; Second, sudden death is a social problem, and Pinduoduo will not take the blame!

22-year-old, a fresh life, in exchange for a lot of goods standing at the highest point of capital to ridicule the bottom people: "The bottom people, who don't exchange their lives for money!" ?

So can this be understood as, you mean, she is a 22-year-old girl in her prime, and she only deserves this? As the bottom people, you deserve to exchange your life for money?

I don't know where I got the confidence to be so indifferent to life. Faced with the one-sided criticism of public opinion, Pinduoduo immediately dumped the pot, and Zhihu responded that it was not officially released. This is a rumor, please don't believe it The result was hit in the face by Zhihu, which proved that it was published by the official account of Pinduoduo.

The ironclad fact, Pinduo had to admit, and then the turning point came again, and the "temporary workers" appeared. Pinduoduo responded that the supplier used the official account of Pinduoduo to issue the response, which had nothing to do with Pinduoduo. Do you believe it or not? I don't believe it anyway.

In this incident, we can know that Pinduoduo thinks that this phenomenon of "exchanging life for money" is the essence of the times, and we can see Pinduoduo's indifference and constant shirking of responsibility.

Event 2: Employees commit suicide.

On October 9th, 65438/KLOC-0, an employee of Pinduoduo committed suicide by jumping off a building at his home in Changsha. Pinduoduo expressed deep condolences for the unfortunate death of employees and is waiting for the final investigation results of the local authorities on the cause of the incident. During this period, the company will fully cooperate with the aftermath of Tan's death, and at the same time, the company will immediately open a psychological and special emergency consultation channel in the intranet OA system, and arrange special personnel to provide consulting services for employees.

From Pinduoduo's introduction, we can get the message that the employees in Pinduoduo are under heavy work pressure, which has affected their physical and mental health, and may even be life-threatening. What is behind the incident of forcing young people to death? These are all worth thinking about.

Event 3: dismissal of employees for "inexplicable reasons"

Recently, Wang, an employee of Pinduoduo, posted a photo of his colleague being sent to an ambulance on social media with remarks against Pinduoduo, and was later dismissed by Pinduoduo for violating the company's disciplinary system. 65438+ 10/2, in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency, Wang said that his remarks were indeed a little extreme, but he did not regret publishing photos, hoping to arouse the attention of the whole society to the rights and interests of employees.

On the evening of 65438+1October 1 1, Wang released a video in bilibili, revealing that he was "kicked out of the company" within 30 minutes because he saw his colleague being carried into an ambulance and released relevant information to Pulse.

In response, Pinduoduo said that according to the explicit ID(JgD+STsWV2E) of an anonymous community page published by Wang *, the company found that its previous anonymous posts were full of bad "extreme remarks", such as "wanting to die" and "raising the ashes".

The human resources department of the company judged that the employee's above remarks seriously violated the employee handbook, and it was possible that his extreme emotions would pose an unknown threat to other colleagues and decided to terminate the labor contract with him.

Wang said that on October 8, 65438/kloc-0, he sent an anonymous message on Pulse, which caused him to be "told to be expelled from the company within 30 minutes". Regarding the ambulance incident, the up owner said that "he saw this ambulance passing by on the way to work" and saw "a male colleague was supported by two employees left and right, accompanied by two female colleagues, and got on this ambulance. We passed each other as soon as we entered and exited. " He said, "Through the glass where you can see the ambulance, he took a photo and sent it to Pulse, which said,' The second Pinduo soldier fell'." The article broke the news in a short time and went on a hot search. Subsequently, he was interviewed by the company's HR and supervisor, and was forced to leave.

Here, what we see is Pinduoduo's "impatient" voice to clean up the disharmony and cover up things that are unfavorable to the company. Although the employee's remarks are a little extreme, he hopes to arouse the attention of the whole society to the rights and interests of employees, which deserves our affirmation.

Event 4: Delete user photos remotely.

On June 2nd, 65438+ 10/kloc-0, a topic of "netizens said that Pinduoduo App deleted photos remotely" rushed to Weibo for hot search.

Netizen broke the news that Pinduoduo remotely deleted users' mobile phone photos. According to the netizen, the cause of the incident was that it kept evidence that an activity in Pinduoduo was suspected of defrauding consumers. After explaining to the customer service, the message "Pinduoduo has deleted photos or videos" pops up on the second-hand vivo mobile phone.

Then the netizen consulted the official customer service of vivo, and the other party said: If the corresponding permissions are allowed to be opened, the software can obtain the corresponding information.

Pinduoduo customer service responded to the netizen and said: "We will not delete the user information casually, but we will feedback it to our superiors." Later, the customer service manager called the netizen and said, "It is difficult to explain from the technical trace at present, so we didn't delete it. Still look ahead and give you a subsidy for 30 yuan without a threshold coupon. " .

Netizens think this is a blatant violation of customer privacy. If Pinduoduo App system can delete any photos at will, wouldn't the personal information in the album be exposed?

"Delete the user's photo album photos remotely and be caught by the mobile phone system on the spot?" This matter quickly caused a hot discussion among netizens.

Later, Pinduoduo responded to this matter, saying that the deleted photos were the original pictures before editing by users, and the system saved the beautified pictures, and said that the products would be improved later, and both pictures would be kept. At the same time, we will contact mobile phone manufacturers such as vivo to optimize the experience on the basis of protecting user privacy.

It is understood that the netizen who broke the news this time is a user invited by Pinduoduo to participate in cashback activities, saying that new users can get a red envelope of 100 yuan. However, after completing the task as required, the netizen found that he was randomly given a red envelope. To this end, the user contacted the customer service, saying that the activity description published by the App did not match the actual situation and asked the official to give an explanation.

The customer service said that it would give feedback to the user and inform the user of the result later. It is in this case that the user found that the screenshot of the mobile phone was deleted by Pinduoduo.

At present, the problem of "Pinduoduo remotely deleting users' photos" is still hotly debated on the Internet. Although there is no final conclusion, the personal information security risk highlighted by this incident is very clear, that is, once the App obtains the storage rights of the user's mobile phone, it will be able to obtain the data in the public storage area of your mobile phone, including your camera photos, screenshots, screen recording files, recordings and other files.

If it is verified that Pinduoduo really deleted users' personal information, then this behavior is a serious illegal act and will be punished. I hope that the relevant departments will conduct an investigation as soon as possible to find out the truth of the incident and give the public an explanation.

Event 5: Hacking genius is suspected of refusing to violate the law and being fired.

Yun Shufa Weibo, former director of the security research laboratory of Ali Group, said that the owner of a security team was suddenly fired when he was about to expire in five years and could get the stock, and the reason for his dismissal was "unwilling to be a hacker".

Who is the boss of the security team? This person is the side guard, and the mention of the side guard can be said to be heard in the hacker circle. /kloc-went to Zhejiang university at the age of 0/5 and won the world championship at the age of 22. He used to be a top hacker, a former senior researcher at Tencent Cohen Lab, the world's top hacker contest Pwn2Own Mobile and a PC champion. Later, he joined a well-known American listed company as the safety director, responsible for the overall safety of the company.

On February 22, 2020, at 65438+, Weibo, the side guard, said that he had resigned:

If the side guard incident is true, since employees can be hacked, what is illegal? The rights and interests of employees are still denied, and such companies have also refreshed our cognitive bottom line.

Event 6: Former employees released my three years in Pinduoduo.

65438+ 10/2, graduated from Zhejiang University, used to be an information security engineer in Pinduoduo, and published "My Three Years in Pinduoduo" on the cc98 Forum and personal blog of Zhejiang University.

The author's original description: "The purpose of this article is to hope that the younger brothers and sisters will never go to Duoduo and record the overall changes of this company in the past three years from the perspective of a bottom-level employee. This article does not involve technical secrets, but only discusses the administrative system, cultural atmosphere, office experience and so on. And record personal subjective wishes. After leaving the job, I will organize and write at home and record my experience. Some content has been mosaic. How do people from all walks of life feel after reading it?

Readers interested in the original text can visit Zhihu, which is absolutely "shocking". They can only say that this company is too "great".

In this article, netizens commented on the highest state of exploitation:

The exploitation of junior positions is to deprive employees of their personal life, social and entertainment freedom;

The exploitation of intermediate positions means that employees have no time to study, grow and improve themselves, and can't do anything that has substantial changes to the long-term development of their lives, and they will always be fixed at the bottom;

The exploitation of senior positions deprives employees of the most basic physiological needs, such as eating, sleeping and going to the toilet. They feel groggy, dizzy and depressed all day.

In addition to the above-mentioned behaviors, Dong Fangbubai in Exploiting the World also deprives employees of their right to life, freedom of speech, freedom of movement and privacy, which is basically similar to prison. Worse than prison, it will brainwash employees under the guise of corporate culture.

The rich atmosphere is expected to surprise all those who read this article, and they can feel the employees' powerlessness about this self-centered and strong oppression. Being able to exploit so rightfully, Pinduoduo is simply a godlike existence.

In a general company, unless you are a fool employee, you will not expose the company's materials when you go out, because the company has a good reputation and makes money, and the employees will have a good life. If the skin does not exist, how can the hair be attached?

In a company with a sense of belonging, employees are very proud. When I talk about my employer, I clap my chest and hate not to swell up, and even look down on my competitors' employees.

I think the company's (former) employees can't wait to spit out and expose their secrets, which is actually a weak cry to the society and a signal of "asking for help", warning everyone to take risks at their own risk.

Maybe it won't help in the end, and it won't bring any substantive changes. No one will protect the interests of migrant workers, but at least they have tried.

Event 7: Pinduoduo withdrew from the Spring Festival Evening red envelope.

65438+1October 15, it is reported that at present, Pinduoduo has suspended the red envelope project for the Spring Festival Evening, and no longer serves as the exclusive red envelope interactive partner for 20021Spring Festival Evening. Pinduoduo originally intended to promote its payment business through the influence of the red envelope activity in the Spring Festival Evening. This year, the focus of the community group purchase project "Buy more food" was originally included in the publicity plan of the Spring Festival Evening Red Packet Project. This is the first time that CCTV Spring Festival Gala has changed its partners. Pinduoduo's negative image in the public opinion field directly affected the company's business progress.

We think this decision is very correct for CCTV to replace its partners in the Spring Festival Gala. Companies caught in a negative image should cultivate their "internal strength" well, instead of taking it from the people and hurting them.

abstract

"Qin people have to mourn for themselves, and then others mourn for them, and later generations mourn for them without learning a lesson, which also makes future generations mourn for them."

With so many events above, Pinduoduo is the king in this year's "hot search". Unfortunately, they are all "negative" images and there are many problems. Is it necessary to "work hard" to become a veritable "product"?

In fact, behind the rapid development of many enterprises is the result of too many people's efforts. Although they are all migrant workers, enterprises need to pay more attention to the health of employees if they want to have sustainable development.

Looking back on the development of Pinduoduo in recent years, with the strategy of "group purchase+low price" and the social attribute of WeChat platform, it has rapidly grown into an e-commerce giant in a short time. Pinduoduo's popularity started with a knife, and friends got products for free, so the users in Pinduoduo achieved rapid growth and attracted huge traffic.

The reputation and recognition of users is the foundation of the company's survival. Users can win a company or let it fall from a high position. If Pinduoduo continues to go its own way and does not make improvements, it will inevitably lead to users' dissatisfaction, and the reputation and recognition will gradually decline, so the loss of users will be a predictable result.

Therefore, I hope Pinduoduo can realize his own shortcomings, give users and employees a satisfactory answer as soon as possible, and don't let people down again.
