Internet companies engage in anti-accompanying actions
On the 14th, it was reported that iQiyi sent a letter to all employees, adding "No express or implied harassment to others in the form of words, behaviors, etc., nor sexual harassment of others" in the "Personal Code of Conduct for iQiyi Employees". Any explicit or implicit means to force others to participate in dinners, accompany wine", etc.
An insider from iQiyi told a reporter from Chinanews.com that it was an internal mail release and it was not made public.
Many netizens said, "iqiyi is really good, taking the lead in resisting the unspoken rules of the workplace." "I hope to promote it all over the Internet."
This is not the first company to make relevant regulations after the incident of female Ali employees.
On August 9, Ali expressed support for employees' refusal to accompany drinks and will formulate guidelines for anti-sexual harassment actions.
On August 12th, Ali announced the establishment of an anti-workplace bad habits group to self-examine and clear the collectively reflected improper working methods, including but not limited to bad habits at the table, vulgar jokes and other ways that make employees feel uncomfortable in the workplace.

In addition, recent pictures circulating online show that an intern from Tencent separately proposed to Tencent Chairman Ma Huateng and President Liu Chiping, "Hurry up and promulgate the relevant regulations on'refusal to accompany wine' to put an end to the so-called'wine table culture' and maintain the wine table. The women in the workplace, let our 8W employees speak up on this matter.” The person also said to Liu Chiping, “You must reply.”
Ma Huateng did not reply to him, and Liu Chiping said, "We are still very different from Ali, and will send your suggestions to HR."
The reporter contacted Tencent's public relations department, and the other party said that it was "under verification."
On the 16th, Sina issued a letter to all employees, planning to implement a new version of the "Employee Handbook", adding content against sexual harassment and no forced drinking into the "Employee Handbook", "Resolutely oppose any form and all interpersonal sexual harassment. Relevant rights and interests are also within the scope of protection." "As a manager, if you arrange gatherings or dinners due to work needs, you must not force drinking, persuasion, or accompaniment to protect the health and safety of employees."
There is a reason for the incident, and alcohol companies also advise against alcohol and alcoholism
In fact, it is not only the Internet industry that took this incident to strengthen the company's cultural construction, anti-accompanying alcohol, and anti-sexual harassment in the workplace.
On August 13, Guotai Liquor issued a statement stating that the company advocates civilized drinking and resolutely opposes persuading alcohol, drunkenness, and alcoholism.

Of course, there was a reason for the Taiwanese alcoholic incident.
A few days ago, some media reported that a female employee of Guotai drunk revealed that she was sexually assaulted by a colleague after drinking on the evening of July 11: the suspect took a card from the hotel reception to enter the room and has been arrested.
Guotai Liquor stated that it was very shocked and indignant about the incident. Although the company has not received any information from law enforcement agencies, it attaches great importance to this matter and will actively cooperate with the investigation work in accordance with the law at any time.

How can we protect ourselves and say no to bad habits in the workplace?
The malformed "accompanying wine culture" was criticized by the public as "stinky".
In the morbid and distorted wine table environment, wine alienation becomes a medium for manifesting power, a test of obedience and a test of sincerity.
As a disadvantaged employee, in order to avoid workplace bullying and isolation, they have no choice but to do so.
Do women in the workplace can only rely on social death to protect themselves?
In a survey initiated by Chinanews.com Weibo, as of press time, the "must reject immediately, never endure" option had the largest number of voters, but many netizens also voted "silently collect evidence and wait for the opportunity to occur", so they said, It's not that it's not reported, the time has not come.
