A Tencent fresh graduate angered the management at the company due to working overtime for too long. This matter has received widespread attention after being repeatedly searched on Weibo.
On February 9, there were rumors that the employee had left Tencent and was marked "Never Hired" by the personnel department. Not only would he not be able to continue his employment at Tencent, but even if he joined other big Internet companies, he would most likely be rejected.
In addition, there is also news that Tencent's legal department will file a lawsuit against the employee on the grounds that it "damages the company's image."
On the evening of February 9, The Paper received an exclusive response from the fresh graduate. He told reporters: "I can't confirm whether the news about whether I was marked as 'never hired' by personnel is true. But I am currently looking for The work has not been hindered, but many HR have come to contact me proactively."
According to the fresh graduate, he has found a new job and is about to join.
Tencent's public relations director Zhang Jun also denied the aforementioned news about "never hire" and "lawsuit lawsuit" in the circle of friends: "Can news be cracked down? Now the cost of making rumors is too low." At the same time, according to Tencent's internal Sources told The Paper that Tencent had retained the employee before he left.
On January 25, in a large group of Tencent's departments, the fresh graduate employee publicly questioned that the company's executives worked unreasonably high-intensity overtime just to catch up with the progress of the project and ignored the health of employees.
Previously, Tencent Enterprise WeChat Product Department announced the list of "Breakthrough Self Award" in the department group. In a comment, it was mentioned that in order to launch the internal testing project, employees have been designing and developing in parallel for more than 20 consecutive hours. In the customer service official website 4.0 project, more than 200 product and design walk-through modifications were completed with high intensity for one week.
Once this comment was issued, it aroused strong dissatisfaction among the above-mentioned fresh employees.
He expressed the hope that when employees are forced to work overtime, they hope to think about the cost of their health.
"In exchange for a so-called 'Business Breakthrough Award', a glass trophy, and an incentive of several thousand dollars, one after another of more than 20 hours of high-intensity overtime work."
Subsequently, the employee publicly stated that he was leaving.
"I hope that all parties will not block my approval, so as not to hinder my Chinese New Year." Once the remarks were issued, they immediately caused widespread dissemination on social media.
Since then, Huang Tieming, the head of the company's WeChat, responded to the matter on Tencent's internal forum.
Huang Tieming said that he recognized the attitude of the classmate who dared to speak out about the problem.
Continuous, high-intensity rush marches are not sustainable, and will inevitably affect everyone's work-life balance and health.
"From the perspective of department managers, my attitude is that it is not objective and unsustainable to judge a person's work performance or performance ranking only based on everyone's working hours."
