On January 4, 020, some netizens broke the news that a young employee (98 years old) of Poundland (Xinjiang grocery project) died suddenly due to long overtime work, and the girl died after Poundland officials tried to stop the spread of online “rumors”.
The girl was a member of Poundland’s Xinjiang grocery project, basically working all year round, and she suddenly collapsed on her way home from work at 1:30 a.m. on January 3, and died after a rescue attempt.
This news reminds me of last October, Poundland’s departed employees on the pulse of the Poundland announced the opening of the “hardcore struggle mode”, the staff will be noon break from 300 hours may not feel, but if converted into 10 hours of work per day, it takes 30 days a month to complete the target, which is a very scary target; friends who have been on single break for a period of time, feel that single break is very tiring, a day can not be rested, this new working hours target leads to Originally, overtime was prevalent in Poundland, more intensified overtime. Although Poundland has debunked the rumor on Zhihu that “there is no such tumultuous operation, please don’t believe the rumor”, but no wind cannot make waves, the industry knows Poundland’s overtime Vicious.
Even so, Poundland has a group of loyal and desperate employees, and this girl’s last signature is: to take the frontier for Poundland, but in the end it ended up with “a horse’s body”.
Pinyin Xixi HR is crazy to delete the post, this graphic also do not know how long will exist, can meet is, after a while, Poundland is still the Poundland, is “one will be successful in ten thousand bones,” the invincible “will”, and we charge in front of the fighters?
Do you want money or do you want your life?
The same day a screenshot from Zhihu is ignited the anger of netizens, it is a paragraph by the official account of the response made by Poundland, the message said “you look at the bottom of the people which is not life for money ….. This is a time to fight with your life”, the message has been deleted.
You look at the people at the bottom, which one is not using their lives for money, I have never thought that it is the problem of capital, but the problem of this society, this is a time to fight with your life, you can choose a comfortable life, but you have to choose the consequences of comfort, people can control their own efforts, we can all – @Poundto (Zhihu has certified official account)
The official Poundland called the news a “rumor” and refused to acknowledge its authenticity, but a large number of Zhihu netizens have taken screenshots to prove that the news was indeed posted by Poundland’s official certified Zhihu account, which is angry about the statement.
On the afternoon of January 4, Zhihu officially responded, confirming that the news was indeed posted by the “official certified account of Jindo”.
According to a report by Chicco News, “Duoduo buy vegetables” is a new business under Poundland, which focuses on vegetable delivery during the epidemic, and the business is “expanding like crazy”.
The business is a new business incubated within Poundworld. In August 2020, after 2 months of internal testing of the WeChat small program, Poundland launched its grocery business “Duoduo Buy” in the App, unlike other platforms. The business scope covers Wuhan, Nanchang and other second and third-tier cities. In the business model, Poundland adopts its usual method – subsidies, that is, first with low-priced sales to attract user traffic, and then by removing the intermediate wholesale links to control costs. Behind the crazy expansion and money burning is the figure of employees working overtime, “health” has become an unavoidable topic. Pindo has a strict clock-in/out system, starting at 11am and finishing at 11pm, with overtime every Sunday. Overtime is so common in Internet companies that it has become the “996 work system”, which means that people start work at 9 a.m. and finish at 9 p.m. and work 6 days a week. It has been discussed and questioned many times in recent years.
The following is an excerpt from China Digital Times editorial comments from netizens.
@DemolitionCT: A few words about the #Pinduo employees. It is understood that the cause of the matter is this: a netizen on the pulse broke the news that his good friend, Poundland Xinjiang buy food girl died suddenly on the road at 1:30 am after work. The time of the incident happened to be in the New Year’s Day holiday period. It is rumored that the girl’s internal flower name is Run Lungs, internal IM signature is “Lung Bao for Duo Duo guard the border”, after the incident has been deactivated. The actual fact is that a lot of people are not only a lot of people, but they are also a lot of people who are not only a lot of people, but they are also a lot of people who are a lot of people who are a lot of people. In addition, a suspected Poundland employee also broke the news in Zhihu that he contacted his former colleague who was buying food in Xinjiang at the first time, but the other party’s reply was very official, probably meaning that this matter is completely rumor, please do not spread rumors and believe rumors, and this almost confirms that Poundland has started secrecy measures internally, (is doing its best to cover up the truth). The first reaction of the public relations department of some companies in this day and age is actually to delete the post.
@deadfatblowsmountainwind: Seeing the word cremation, the heart seems to be pumped. A flesh and blood upward girl, so turned into ash and broken bones, too cruel. The family of the deceased also took the circle of friends to block the gun, the meaning seems to be “family members are not far away you quickly scattered it”. The company is disgusting, too disgusting.
@BaiZhengming: The most affordable moment in the last decade. (Zhihu response)
@adulterated sleeve: Pounding out the real thoughts of these large and small businesses in our country by accident
@nightwaiyangtalent: What are you talking about? Even if it’s sent by the official account, it could be the employee’s private behavior ah, and then again, it’s possible that the number was stolen
@1m78: Since Poundland insists that it is a rumor, then it is recommended that the screenshots sent to the v directly sued Poundland, one is to prove their innocence, the other is to receive both fame and fortune, sent to the door of the compensation, why not do so
@YourGinReception: 28 seconds, the response is quite fast.
@There4I: I also read that the girl is said to be 98 years old, and the way Poundland works is the same as other so-called big factories, treating labor laws as toilet paper, but the public will still be overwhelmingly vindicating “capital” and capitalists, turning a blind eye to the system behind tacit recognition and even encouragement even if it violates labor laws…
@monkeyking615: Jindo to go to the toilet are to punch the time, do not treat people as people as well as people eat people’s environment.
@LiuYanChangKan: What kind of society is it that makes the bottom people use their lives for money.
@MANG Python: “Why don’t you guys hurry up and have kids”.
@FengHuaExcellentAlex: The meaning of the official microblogging of Poundland is that I did not force you to work overtime, you can choose not to work overtime, you can also choose to work overtime, then since you choose to work overtime, you have to take responsibility for the risk of your own sudden death.
@_rice_flower_flower_flower: You guys say that companies that dare to violate the law on the surface will secretly care about violating a few more items?
@Einstainke: Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
@OuyangHulu: Tell a joke, the most compliant labor law is foreign companies.
@GoderImperfect: As we all know, China is a socialist country, there is no large-scale capital exploitation, and there are few strict Labor Laws in the world, so this situation is impossible, and there is reason to suspect that the foreign forces are backstabbing.
@HuangjiaXiaoCaoHat: Two students are bytes, previously saw them in the circle of friends sun week average working hours, a surprisingly 18 hours …… monthly salary million, probably I will do a month, because I do not know whether there is life can get the second month’s salary.
@SuyinLakeGreen: comments to take the annual salary to say things, so to speak: think money can make human bottomless high-intensity labor or even pay life, and support slavery what is the difference?
@Charon0510: went to know a little, this picture is actually fucking true, really sha bi operation
@SSSY1986: Chinese, are you 007 today?
@OangerA: A person working 300 hours, what concept, a week on 7 days, 12 hours a day well?
@zhengzongwhatever: such a blessing should be given to the horse son to a dozen.
@LuMouMouV turn: indeed not the problem of business, is a party afraid to have a real union problem. Because a liberalization is chaos, a chaos is democracy.
@SanliJiangshanSevenJiangnan: The battery used too hard certainly affects the service life.
@GentlemanSoar: Strange? This is the advantage of low human rights.
@threegoodbrother: Duo buy food 2 days off a month, work 6 days a week work 7 days a week. Pindo spring group from the end of December until the first day of the spring day is not a day off. Each person has a minimum of 300 working hours per month, less than will be fired. Late 1 minute deducted 3 hours salary, hourly rate according to the contract on 8 hours, equivalent to 11.01 to, 23 points away, only earn 5 hours salary.
@Give me a laser gun: It seems that not many people remember what this app was mocked into when it first came out, the garbage goods flooded, and then was successfully whitewashed by a local government focus on support, and now appears to be “true fragrance”.
@ very metaphysical thing -: Internet industry overtime is really too sick. People are working overtime to add waste, no personal life, what is the blessing?
@stolen_number_yellow_white: China’s labor laws are a set-up.
@gogoming1982: Nothing wrong with that! Now who is not fighting for their lives! The root cause of what is not clear to us! The price of goods and housing prices are growing like crazy ……
