The recent two incidents have been reflected internally in Ali.
“We began to reflect on whether the moon cake incident of that year was too severely punished.” Alibaba partner and chief talent officer Tong Wenhong broadcasted a live conference to all the partners of the company in May. “Partner has an appointment In “, the first public mention of the controversial moon cake incident four years ago. Zhang Yong and Peng Lei, who had not shown up for a long time, also participated in this meeting. Peng Lei is one of Ali’s eighteen arhats and is currently a director of Ant Group.
“Partner has an appointment” is the communication window of Alibaba’s core partner team for all employees. Once every two or three months, employees can sign up to go to the scene, and there will be live broadcasts on the intranet, which has lasted for nearly a year.
Tong Wenhong said that shortly after the mooncake incident, the partners had already concluded that the punishment was too heavy. Of the 5 employees who were fired at the time, 4 of them have been recruited back to Ali and have been promoted later. It is understood that the other went to Tencent.
She also emphasized that the reason why the partners finally decided to fire these five employees that year was that they were employees of the security department, so the integrity requirements would be extremely strict.
Seeing the partners’ reflections on the moon cake incident, the employees have different attitudes.
Some people think that this may be a banner, marking that the core management headed by Zhang Yong has begun to re-examine values; some employees believe that this is just a last resort for the top management to relax the penalties for violations after the Jiang Fan incident.
Some employees went straight to the topic and asked sharply: “Does the handling of Jiang Fan’s affairs mean that Ali’s values have collapsed?”
Peng Lei replied, although Ali has cast a lot of spotlights on his values, don’t mistake Ali as a spiritual organization. “We are a business organization with a very lofty vision. Our values are to serve our business organization for 102 years.”
“Everyone knows what a simpler decision is. But we are still a business organization after all.” Zhang Yong added.
Zhang Yong said frankly that after a long period of entanglement, thinking and discussion, he finally made this decision.(Jiang Fan was not fired)< /span>, he will bear all the responsibilities. <
