The Spring Festival is approaching. In addition to everyone’s concern about whether to buy a ticket to go home, another issue is when the year-end award will be issued and how much.

I do n’t have any money, so the annual meeting is here.

When the manpower notified me that each department was going to perform a show at the annual meeting, and everyone had to participate, my heart was broken. Counting over the years of unfortunate annual meetings in different work units, I have never been happy.

I skipped “Jiangnan style” in the rhythm of Uncle Bird, imitated the chopsticks brothers and sang “Little Apple”, wore a flower T-shirt and played Ge You collapsed on the sofa, and sang “Grateful Heart” “, Also forced to skip ballroom dancing with the female leader …

I think “wolves disco” will be indispensable at the annual meeting of all companies this year.

In fact, in addition to the draw at the annual meeting, it was almost full of awkward performances, awkward chats, and awkward drinks. Sometimes even if you get a big prize, you have to change your way.

A company in Shanghai once went on a hot search because the prizes at the annual conference were too tempting. Their big prize was a paid holiday. However, some netizens found that the prizes clearly stated: The award period was December 27, 2018, and the prizes were valid until December 31, 2018.

Write the most critical information in the smallest words

I used to draw one of the only two iPhones in the audience at an annual meeting. In order to get it, I drank a white wine in a beer glass in public. knowHow come back home.

Everyone has a history of blood and tears at the annual meeting. And I found that the annual meeting has become more and more the most hated party for young people, no one.

The annual meeting has always been a magical existence. The first-class company is the boss acting as an ugly entertainment employee, and the third-rate company is the employee acting as an ugly entertainment boss.

Unfortunately, first-class companies are hard to find, and third-rate companies blossom everywhere.

When the notice to open the annual meeting is issued, leaders at all levels are as excited as chicken blood: convey the company spirit, convene personnel to perform the program, follow up the program progress, and check the quality of the program. positive.

The office is quiet all year, when all kinds of sounds suddenly start to appear: people who sing, talk about guitar, play small pieces, and then wear various animal costumes of various dynasties, film and television dramas, start to enter Out. At this point, the annual meeting has been fully mobilized.

Some companies will even set up program review committees, which are joined by people with literary bacteria recommended by various departments to specifically review the quality of the program in advance. Those who are not qualified can either call back the program or modify it.

It’s really stressful for the person in charge. Because the level of the program at the annual meeting directly reflects the carelessness of the responsible person, and for the big boss, this has become a problem of loyalty.

Sometimes the program quality of different departments of a company also reflects the operating performance of this department.

Friend A once told me such a story. Their company has an annual meeting, and his department is profitable throughout the year, so he played a small piece with great care, not only the full participation, but also the popular all year round. All kinds of terriers are full of color when performing.

In contrast to another department, it was just a small chorus that came to power collectively.do. Later, when A asked, this department lost millions of dollars throughout the year, and the person in charge didn’t have much energy. Naturally, he didn’t want to rehearse the program well.

For the boss, the annual meeting of a company is the business card of the company, and it is also the most important value output of the company in a year.

Rich companies are doing big things, the bigger the show, the better. Even a small company with little money can’t lose, so you must find a few talented colleagues and force a performance.

The most successful blogger is Baidu. On January 7, 2012, Baidu held an internal annual meeting of the company. As a HR of Baidu, Liu Dong wore a light-colored gauze dress and showed his style on the catwalk of the annual meeting. After the meeting, Liu Dong exposed his photos from the annual meeting on Weibo. Many netizens exclaimed “Heaven” and forwarded them.

Since then, Liu Dong has another name, Du Niang.

In the past few years, compared to Baidu, the annual conferences of many Internet companies, in order to comfort the vast number of “program apes”, began to spare no effort to move towards Xiangyan-an important sign is to invite island action love actors to help.

Aoi Aoi, Takizawa Lola, these well-known teachers have been invited, and the program’s wretched photo with them once became the standard for the annual meeting of Internet companies in those years.

Let their friends be envious while being angry.

In 2017, Tencent encountered an awkward thing at the beginning of the year.

At the annual meeting of the Tencent instant messaging application department, there was an indecent game link, menThe employee clamped the water bottle with his thigh, and the female employee half-knelt opened the bottle cap with her mouth, and the audience even cheered, “Come on, come on.”

The performance of such restricted content at the annual meeting is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

I know the answer to the question of “How to treat the vulgar activities in Tencent Instant Messenger Application Department?”

This caused Tencent departments to rush out to extinguish the fire and issue a public apology letter. But it detonated a lot of people’s grotesque about the spoof at the annual meeting, and it also caused a large wave of discussion. A self-proclaimed former employee of Tencent said:

A game department of Tencent, the same is true of the annual meeting, the winning students have to face their mouths with a tissue for a while. At that time, a female colleague won the prize and was asked to face the mouth of a man. The woman refused to die, and the man looked very happy. The following people were just coaxing, and finally the girls insisted not to commit the crime.

This kind of thing is not just a matter of which department of Tencent, another netizen said:

I used to work a few In a department of the year, some asked the director of the annual meeting to streak in the company’s office area (men, only wearing underwear), and some asked the director of the annual meeting (men) to wear only underwear for the staff to have dinner afterwards to keep the girls around him around. Take a big photo and finally make a photo similar to av coverAfter the film is released, there will be various large-scale “games” that require the winners to take part in the stage (can be rejected, there is no prize for rejection, and other willing people are drawn up).

This vulgar plot is actually everywhere on the Internet. It’s almost like a curse. No matter where you are, you are more fashionable. When you come to the company’s annual meeting, you immediately remove the disguise of Marry and Tony, and you can’t wait to go down to the ground.

A friend of mine B once told me such a story. His company has a year-end dinner, and the leader asked each boy to find a girl to perform the same action:

The girl leaped against the boy’s waist with both knees, and then wrapped her hand around the boy’s waist, and stretched out her other hand to spread her wings.

This is actually a common action in dance performances. In order to please employees, the leader ordered each pair of men and women to perform. Since the leader asked for it, no one dared to oppose it. The boys are looking for girls with light weight. After all, girls have to leap forward. Physically weak boys are likely to be unable to support girls who are too heavy.

This can be a bit fat, or a boy with a small body will always have poor control during the performance. Either the boy’s legs are soft and unstable, or the girl can’t jump up.

However, at this time, the effect came out. Usually when the colleagues went abroad, the leaders were the happiest. Few people dare to obey the authority of leadership. Only one boy was resolute, he said:

Today is my wife’s birthday. I can’t meet other girls on her birthday. After all, go away.

Sure enough, when he went to work the next day, the boss severely criticized him—a business problem. Of course everyone knows why he was criticized.

The Chinese-style annual meeting is very similar to a Chinese-style wedding.

No matter how bad the trouble is, how to get it, but the trouble is like the vulgar direction. Just as Liu Yan was almost thrown into the water at the Bao Beier wedding, at the annual meeting, the male leader took advantage of the drunkenness to upset his female colleagues, and it seemed reasonable.

Whether it is an awkward performance at the annual meeting or forcing you to drink, it is all about obedience testing.

A netizen commented on the annual meeting of Tencent’s instant messaging department and said:

Does the leader not know Is this game sexually suggestive? The leader knows it too well, because it is embarrassing to stick his mouth to the crotch of the male colleague, so the leader arranged it this way. Obedience to the obvious absurdity is the core meaning of obedience testing.

The leader may not really love watching vulgar and indecent scenes, but this scene has made him realize the loyalty of his subordinates. The leader may not like his subordinates to drink, but he likes to watch his subordinates let him drink and drink, which reflects the absolute authority of the leader.

It’s a good company just because of the annual meeting.

Some companies have brought this vulgarity into the company culture. Many companies have so-called new colleagues to break the ice to discuss or party, which is simply a mandatory “truthful adventure.” It exhausts everything possible to strip you of your last cover, hungering for your privacy, but explaining it just to improve understanding among colleagues.

A netizen said:

A friend once went to a company. The first thing the team broke was the so-called “three early days.” First kiss, first love, first night. It is not necessary to say when and where it happened, but also to describe it in detail, and to answer any questions.

The newcomer will sit on one side, and the rest of the circle will sit on the other side, like an interrogation prisoner. Many young girls who have just graduated are scared to tears. The leader will also comfort her: children, this is what must be experienced in the workplace. Then she persuaded her to tell the strangers one by one the most private things.

Later, my friends couldn’t take it anymore.

In 2019, one of the most discussed documentaries on social media was The American Factory.

An important contradiction in this documentary is that Cao Dewang, chairman of Fuyao Group, saidIf the Americans force their factories to set up unions, he would rather shut down the American factories than agree.

The reason why Cao Dewang is so determined is that he knows that the intervention of the union will protect the rights of workers and affect the efficiency of the factory. On the other hand, without unions, workers’ rights are not guaranteed.

“American Factory”

Conversely, in most enterprises in China, when employees encounter violations of their private domain borders, most of them can only rely on themselves. In other words, do you dare to fight against leaders? If you dare to do it, you may lose your job.

Also, the Chinese have a mentality of “forbearing one forbearance”. Boys forbearing is embarrassing and drinking, and girls are not spoofed.

But you are wrong, you should say no. Regarding workplace sexual harassment, you should have zero tolerance on any occasion and let others know your bottom line.

A netizen said:

My sister just When he graduated, he attended the company’s annual meeting. A male colleague pretended to drink too much, and wanted to move his feet manually. He gave his ears a scrape in front of the leader. Afterwards, everyone pretended that nothing had happened, and the work started as usual.

The bottom line for women is always given by themselves. Say no itself is not terrible, the terrible thing is that you have no ability to say no.

Another netizen shared his story.

I stayed in a newspaper for a long time after graduation. In the heyday of traditional media, advertising pages were packaged and wholesaled to two agencies on an annual basis, and then they went to retail.

Whether the newspaper’s annual meeting, from planning labor, eating money to raffle gifts, are thrown to two of the larger agencies. It has always been normal, and one year suddenly I somehow changed the second child’s house to host it. Halfway through, I suddenly heard the host on the stage announce that the next show is … the male colleague came on stage to take off his socks and pinch the female colleague, and the loser laughed first.

I remember that everyone in the entire hall was okay at that time, if they didn’t listen, they ate vegetables and chatted, and laughed as usual. The host said three times, and also picked the number, no one ignored.

At the time, I was young and could not help embarrassing the host on the stage. Of course, I looked at my colleagues’ reactions and certainly did not hear the pretense.

This netizen analyzed that the reason why everyone pretended not to hear is because the newspaper he works for encourages self-will and personality, so when there is something that obviously does not meet the rules, his colleagues can rely on their own independent judgment , Make sure to go wrong.

This netizen’s advice to everyone who may encounter embarrassing things at the annual meeting is: First, the response of normal people in the world is like my colleagues. You refuse, nothing is wrong. Second, the people around you are silent or obedient, but they do n’t respond for a while, and they are neither willing nor comfortable. When they react, they will support you.

The last piece of advice he gave was:

Remember, a normal person responds by refusing on the spot.
