The official statement rashomon also comes with a thumb-print review

After the sudden death of employees working overtime and the bizarre comments on zhihu, an official account, aroused public opinion, Pinduoduo first issued a statement saying that the bizarre comments were not officially released (Figure 1).

After being slapped in the face by zhihu officials (Figure 2), the second statement (Figure 3) was issued, believing that party B’s suppliers should be fully responsible. Assuming this to be the case, the bottom line is that “we are strongly opposed to such views”.

But what is that view? It’s the age of “Life for money.”

However, look at this student of Party B who made a mistake and wrote such a check (Figure 4), listing the model number and serial number of the mobile phone, and even stamped with a red handprint, which is considered a crime, to prove that he is fully responsible and has nothing to do with Party A.

And the official statement said “those responsible will be further held accountable” to prove their innocence, something they never said. But what responsibility should be pursued and how? Isn’t writing a humiliating check enough?

Ask the supplier to fire a party B who has done something wrong? Fired colleagues in Marketing Department or public Relations department who communicated with suppliers daily? Pay cut? Demotion? Marginalized? This is a natural inference.

However, we went to great lengths to prove that this screenshot was a misoperation. Can we officially say such a naked thing and thus solve any public anger and anxiety?

On the contrary, the most terrible statement, “and will further hold relevant personnel accountable”, only reinforces the logic of “trading life for money”. Because people are deeply empathic, and these are the people who are afraid of getting fired and working overtime until they die. What is the purpose of pr, just to prove that this statement has nothing to do with us, the company will not say so directly, right?

Therefore, the classmate of Party B, he is likely to face demotion, salary reduction, and even dismissal, his mistake of speech, is really predicted his fate.

I wonder now whether he was right or wrong in that blunder.

In the end, this incident resulted in two individuals who were directly hurt and insulted, one was the unfortunate girl, the other was the classmate of Party B who made mistakes.
