Liu Qiangdong's internal email exposed online: The money raised is only enough to lose money for another two years

This morning, a screenshot of an internal email from Liu Qiangdong was circulated online. The content was a letter to all delivery brothers, which mentioned that "the company's cancellation of the basic salary is not to reduce everyone's wages! If that happens, the company will lose, and JD Logistics will only end up closing down."

Liu Qiangdong said that JD Logistics lost more than 2.3 billion yuan in 2018, which is the twelfth year of losses. If internal settlement is deducted, JD Logistics' total loss last year exceeded 2.8 billion yuan. If the losses continue like this, the money raised by JD Logistics will only be enough to cover the losses for two years! All the company has done is just to make JD Logistics survive and to make everyone's life better and longer! (Phoenix Network Technology)

Jack Ma: "Is 996 right or wrong" is not the key issue

On April 14, Jack Ma posted on Weibo again to talk about 996. He said that he had seen the responses from many netizens. This matter has caused such a big controversy, and he thinks it is even more necessary to discuss it carefully. "We must listen to the truth that is 'unpleasant'. I am never afraid of being scolded. I still want to say a few more words about this matter."

Jack Ma believes that the real 996 is not simply overtime, monotonous physical work, and has nothing to do with being exploited. The real 996 should be spending time on learning, thinking, and self-improvement. Those who can stick to 996 must have found their passion. 996 for overtime pay is difficult to sustain.

Finally, Jack Ma reiterated the work and life attitude that Alibaba people have always had: work happily and live seriously. (Titanium Media)
