People are always fair. Every day is 24 hours. If you do more, you must think less. If you think more, you must do less. If you usually do less things that can be implemented, produce results, and users and customers recognize, you can only In the weekly report, work hard.
It’s just the cancellation of a small weekly report, but it shows that Ali executives have seen the nature of the problem, realized the seriousness of the problem, and the determination to change these bad habits.
