With the power of one person, Baidu lost 6 billion, sharp remarks, arrogant face, Baidu's market value fell by 6 billion overnight! No wonder Xinhua News Agency and Huawei don't want it!
When night falls, the lights of Baidu Building are still bright, but behind the brilliant lights, there is a silent storm. The female executive, her words pierced people's hearts like a sharp sword, and for a while, the whirlpool of public opinion tightly wrapped her and Baidu tightly.
Let's go back to the source of the controversy. In 2021, she just joined Baidu, with a sharp edge and unbeatable arrogance. At the company's internal meeting, she unabashedly expressed her opinion: "Why should I think about the employee's family, I am not her mother-in-law!" This sentence is like a boulder thrown into the calm surface of a lake, stirring up layers of ripples. Her implication seems to be that she sees employees as a tool to make money, rather than a valuable asset to the company.
In terms of recruitment, she showed amazing "creativity". She has said that she could have hired robots to do the job, but she chose humans instead. Behind this seemingly ridiculous statement, there is actually her business logic hidden. She thinks robots are more efficient, more accurate, and don't complain or ask for a raise. However, she overlooks the unique value that human employees bring to the table – their creativity, imagination and emotional investment are irreplaceable by robots.
With the fermentation of public opinion, the remarks and behaviors of this female executive have gradually attracted widespread attention from the society. People began to question her values and management skills, and some even associated her with the term capitalist. For a time, Baidu fell into an unprecedented crisis.
In the midst of this storm, Baidu's edifice also seems to be trembling. Employees who are usually busy began to talk, angry and disappointed by the executive's remarks. They feel neglected and belittled, as if they are just a tool for the company to make money. And the company's management is also in a difficult situation, they have to protect the company's interests and balance the emotions of employees.
However, at this critical moment, a young employee stepped up. Her name is Xiao Yun, and she is an ordinary employee of Baidu. She was deeply affected by the executive's remarks, but she did not choose to remain silent. She decided to stand up and speak up for her rights.
Ms. Xiao began writing articles online, sharing her experience at Baidu and her thoughts on the executive's remarks. Her writing was sincere and powerful, and it quickly resonated widely. More and more people began to pay attention to this issue, and they joined the discussion one after another, liking and leaving messages for Xiao Yun.
As public opinion heats up, Baidu also realizes the seriousness of the problem. They began to take steps to deal with the crisis. The company's senior leaders personally apologized and promised to strengthen employee care and corporate culture. They said they would listen to their voices, pay attention to their needs, and strive to create a more humane and caring working environment.
However, the crisis does not end there. With the in-depth media coverage and the continuous fermentation of public opinion, the remarks and behaviors of this female executive have become known to more and more people. Her image gradually collapsed, and people began to criticize her. Her once pride and self-confidence had become so pale in this moment.
In the process, we also see the power of society. It is precisely because of these brave employees and the public who care about this issue that we have the opportunity to re-examine and rethink the relationship between the company and its employees. We realize that enterprises not only exist for the pursuit of profits, but also assume social responsibilities and obligations. Enterprises should pay attention to the rights and well-being of employees, and provide them with a good working environment and development space. Only in this way can enterprises truly win the trust and respect of employees and achieve sustainable development.
Over time, the turmoil gradually subsided. Baidu has also begun to re-examine its values and management philosophy. They began to strengthen employee care and corporate culture construction, and strive to create a more harmonious and stable working environment. And the female executive also realized her mistakes and shortcomings, and she began to reflect on her behavior and work hard to correct it.
In the end, Baidu survived the crisis. They have not only regained the trust and support of their employees, but also won the respect and recognition of society. They realize that only by truly caring about employees and paying attention to social responsibility can they achieve sustainable development of enterprises. And that female executive has also grown and improved in this turmoil. She learned how to balance business interests with social responsibility and how to build a more humane and caring corporate culture.
However, this turmoil has also left us with a profound enlightenment: as corporate managers, we should always pay attention to the rights and well-being of employees and actively fulfill our social responsibilities and obligations. Only in this way can we win the trust and respect of our employees and achieve sustainable development of the enterprise. At the same time, we should also learn to respect and tolerate different voices and perspectives, so that we can jointly promote the progress and development of society.
