It's not about different countries; it's about different work ethics and job education.

1. Safety, compensation and benefits must be written in contracts backed by laws.

2. On dismissing employees, automation is a better solution than under-developing HR.

3. People who are never fairly treated tend to both enjoy and exert unfair vertical power.

4. Societal change first, economic growth then. Only with them comes a decent company. At last, a good job is possible.

5. The one and only rule for management: “HELP your people do THEIR job better.” The reverse, that put control or even gaslighting over support, is total misunderstanding of what good supervisors so.

6. Value are passed top-down; fights are initiated bottom-up. There's a connection in between.

7. Be educated, both on knowledge and the world. Get better deals for work and life. When you see a dead end, drive away. Finally, always strive for a better future, whenever, wherever, whatever.

    The Netflix documentary that Obama invested in is so interesting to watch at this time. The film documents the Chinese local tyrants rescuing the closed factories in the United States, and the fierce collision between Chinese and American corporate cultures: Chinese workers repeat high-efficiency mechanical labor all the time, and Americans are lazy and slow, calling for labor union human rights, which is shocked by the Chinese morning meeting slogans and annual meeting chants. It has to be stunned for a while. Later, the American workers who supported the union and were inefficient were fired. The Chinese couldn't understand: If you have a job, you are very happy. How come you have to pick and choose? A film that will reflect on both sides. Lao Luo wrote about the hollowing out of the U.S. industry in "Why China has a future", saying that now Detroit people are not satisfied with squatting. I feel that American workers have never really suffered, and Chinese workers have never enjoyed real happiness, and no one will be better than anyone in the future. They will eventually be replaced by robots. China will surely rise, there is no doubt about it, but we should also be aware of the price it has paid and continue to learn lessons to become better. The world is always in constant balance, alternation, and change.

    China's process of exporting values. It's hard to say wrong or right, but it's really uncomfortable. Squeezing people's legitimate rights and dignity in the name of collective prosperity is a reality that has to be accepted in the stock economy. The most absurd thing is that no matter which side you try your best to defend, you are still a loser, because a more cruel future is coming.
