Chinanews Client Beijing, August 9th (Reporter Li Jinlei) Regarding the incident of "female employees being violated by drinking alcohol", Alibaba released the results of phased internal investigations and handling decisions on its intranet in the early morning of the 9th, dismissing the male employees involved , Never hired, and the two executives also took the blame and resigned.

　　Zhang Yong, chairman and CEO of Alibaba, also stated that he

clearly opposed the ugly "

drinking table culture

", regardless of gender, Alibaba unconditionally supports employees to refuse to accompany drinks.

　　In this incident, the deformed "accompanying wine culture" once again became the focus of attention and was criticized by the public for "stinky".

　　According to the self-report of the female employee in question, although she said she was not drinking well, she was still persuaded by various high-sounding jobs during the meal. People were afraid to refuse and could not refuse, which caused her to become drunk and unconscious soon afterwards.

　　In fact, similar incidents caused by the ugly "accompanying wine culture" are not uncommon.

Earlier this year, a 23-year-old female employee of a real estate company in Foshan, Guangdong was taken to drink and opened a house and died; in 2020, a new employee of Xiamen International Bank Beijing Branch Zhongguancun Sub-branch was verbally slapped and slapped for refusing to drink a toast to the leader...

　　In real life, some units even explicitly request to drink alcohol when recruiting employees; in the workplace, many people have also experienced the experience of being persuaded or forced to drink.

　　According to a survey conducted by the China Youth Daily Social Survey Center of 2005 respondents in 2018, 92.3% of the respondents had the experience of being persuaded to drink, and 74.0% of the respondents accepted it when they were shunned.

70.7% of the interviewees believe that drinking should be based on the principle of voluntariness.

　　Why is the detested "accompanying wine culture" difficult to eliminate?

China is a society of human relations, which emphasizes "no wine without wine". Drinking can invigorate the atmosphere, shorten the distance, and promote feelings. However, in the morbid and distorted wine table environment, wine alienation becomes a medium of power manifestation and becomes a kind of obedience. Test, a test of sincerity.

　　In the eyes of some people with power, the amount of alcohol is equal to the amount of business. Drinking or not drinking is a question of attitude. Drinking has become a "standard" for considering whether employees are capable.

To draw a circle test by drinking, forcing people who don’t drink to drink, and forcing people who can’t drink too much to drink more, is behind the transgression and alienation of management power, which is enough to breed more bad factors that deviate from the workplace.

From Visual China.

　　And under this kind of deformed drinking table and unspoken rules of the workplace, not drinking is regarded as not giving the leader face, not knowing the rules, and uncomfortable with the world.

As a disadvantaged employee, in order to avoid being bullied and isolated in the workplace and affecting their future, they lack the courage to say no. They have no choice but to take turns toasting and drinking. This kind of bad money drives out good money in the wine bureau and workplace culture. People suffocate.

　　Even more frightening is that some men with a dominant position will deliberately pour women's wine on the wine table in an attempt to achieve their ulterior motives.

　　If the ugly "accompanying wine culture" is not eradicated in one day, similar incidents may still occur.

Therefore, the whole society should act and resolutely say no to the ugly "accompanying wine culture".

　　Resisting the ugly "accompanying wine culture" also requires multiple efforts.

Integrity and respect should be the connotation of the workplace. Enterprises should conduct self-examination and self-correction, promote and establish a pure corporate culture, and not allow "accompanying wine culture" to prevail. Supervision mechanisms should also be established for managers' use of power to allow their subordinates to accompany wine. , To improve the protection mechanism for employees. If the unhealthy trend of "doing things depends on food and drink" prevails, it will be difficult for companies to talk about long-term development.

　　For employees, they must also learn to resist and refuse to accompany wine, dare to say no, be good at saying no, master the rhetoric and methods of refusing to accompany wine, and learn to protect themselves.

　　Of course, it is not enough to rely solely on corporate self-discipline and employee self-protection. To resist the unhealthy "accompanying wine culture" requires the whole society to form an atmosphere of not persuading or forcing alcohol. In addition, it should also rely on the constraints and norms of the system and even laws and regulations.

　　Only when a good environment for not persuading or forcing alcohol is formed, supported by systems and rules, can more people be brave enough to say no, and the ugly "accompanying wine culture" may be contained.
