The sudden death of employees in major Internet companies is frequent, and the news of sudden death of employees comes from another major Internet company. This time, it was ByteDance who was teased by netizens that "bytes and hearts can only have one beat". Sudden death of employees frequently occurs in Internet companies.

Sudden deaths of employees of major Internet companies are frequent. 1 Although major Internet companies have publicly announced that they will cancel 996, reduce overtime and take compulsory vacations, the news of sudden death of Internet employees continues to spread.

On February 23rd, ByteDance Intranet responded to the "sudden death of a 28-year-old employee in ByteDance" circulating on the Internet, saying that the classmate 2 1 had abnormal behavior while exercising in the gym, and the coach called 120 to call emergency personnel to the scene for treatment and then sent them to an ambulance. As of 0: 30 on February 23, the classmate was in critical condition and was still being rescued in the hospital. Up to now, ByteDance has not updated the latest progress.

After 4 1 hour rescue, Mr. Wu, a 28-year-old employee, died on February 23rd 13: 43.

Big factory involution, overwork, high mortgage, child support, the key words of every overwhelmed contemporary young man are superimposed on this "Wu classmate". Therefore, the incident instantly aroused great public sentiment and triggered sensitive nerves. To this end, ByteDance has twice posted a response note on the intranet.

What we can see is that even though ByteDance cancelled the "Big Week" in August last year and strictly stipulated the overtime hours and overtime mechanism, it failed to alleviate the reality of high work pressure in ByteDance and even the entire Internet industry.

Just at the beginning of this month, Mu Xin Twilight, an employee of the graphic audit department of the Bilili Content Security Center, died unfortunately due to a large area of cerebral hemorrhage, which triggered the condemnation, sympathy and reflection of the society on the overwork death of the Internet industry.

A set of data released by the National Cardiovascular Center shows that the number of sudden deaths in China is as high as 550,000 every year, and the success rate of out-of-hospital treatment of sudden deaths is only about 1%. Although the incidence of sudden death in people over 65 years old is high, it has begun to show a younger trend in recent years. Emotional excitement and fatigue are the main factors leading to sudden death.

Young people need cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protection.

At present, medical reports are supporting the continuous increase of sudden death caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China. China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2020 shows that the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in China is on the rise. At present, the number of patients is about 330 million, including stroke 65.438+0.3 million, coronary heart disease 65.438+0.65438+0.39 million and heart failure 8.9 million. In recent ten years, the mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases among urban and rural residents in China has also shown an upward trend. In 20 18 years, the mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases ranks first among all causes of death among urban and rural residents in China.

In an article studying the high rate of sudden death among young people, Dr. Laila said: In the past 30 years, the overall mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases in China has shown a rapid upward trend. From 205/65438+ 10,000 in190 to 322/65438+ 10,000 in 20 19, the mortality rate per 65438+ 10,000 people is 1.6 times that of 30 years ago.

At the same time, it should be noted that the death rate of young people has increased significantly in the past two decades, which is closely related to active or passive unhealthy living habits. Including smoking, drinking, obesity, unhealthy diet, sedentary and so on. Among them, long-term lack of sleep will not only increase the sudden death caused by cardiovascular diseases, but also increase the risk of accidents due to the decline of cognitive function.

Investigation shows that about 80% of white-collar workers in China are in a state of excessive fatigue. Chronic fatigue stress is not only the cause of premature coronary heart disease in young and middle-aged people, but also an important inducement of sudden cardiac death in young and middle-aged patients with coronary heart disease, accounting for 65% ~ 80% of sudden cardiac death cases.

Under the background of rising cardiovascular prevalence, it is particularly important to pay attention to health and self-protection awareness. In June of this year, 5438+ 10, a recent employee of Tencent publicly questioned that the company's senior executives only worked unreasonably high-intensity overtime to catch up with the project progress, ignoring the health of employees. In the "Breakthrough Self Award", the fresh graduates criticized the comments of the WeChat product department on "continuous design and development for more than 20 hours": "If the internal test is delayed for one day, will the enterprise WeChat go bankrupt immediately? Official website delayed the launch for one day. Did the customer go to nail the book immediately? Do you have to let developers work for more than 20 hours to make this version full of your favorite? Have you ever considered the life and death of your men when arranging tasks? "

Subsequently, Huang Tieming, the head of enterprise WeChat, responded in Tencent's internal forum that he recognized this classmate's outspoken attitude. Continuous high-intensity marching is not lasting, which will inevitably affect everyone's work-life balance and health. "From the perspective of the department manager, my attitude is that it is not objective and unsustainable to judge a person's performance or performance ranking only according to the length of working hours." Huang Tieming said.

Sudden deaths of employees of major Internet companies are frequent. Another big Internet company reported the sudden death of employees. This time, it was ByteDance who was teased by netizens that "bytes and hearts can only have one beat".

Sudden death of 28-year-old employee

"Another byte died suddenly, and my wife was pregnant for two months. What a tragedy ..." Late at night on February 22nd, a netizen broke the news that an employee in ByteDance died suddenly, which immediately triggered a heated discussion.

As the incident continues to ferment, more and more details are revealed.

Some netizens said it happened in the company gym and saw them doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Later, it was reported that the employee's wife voiced on social platforms. The employee involved in the accident is algorithm engineer, an image from the video construction department in ByteDance. She has been working in ByteDance for almost four years, and she is only 28 years old this year.

Most importantly, I usually work overtime.

Now, this wife, who has been pregnant for two months, has to face the grief of losing her husband and a monthly mortgage of 2 1000 yuan.

Send a voice to the wife of a sudden death employee.

At 8am on February 23rd, ByteDance denied the incident on the intranet, saying that the employee was still being rescued because of the sudden incident and many misunderstandings in external information. But it is said that it is being rescued, but according to the wife's voice from the Internet, it is now in a state of brain death, and the possibility of rescue is very low. In the afternoon, I posted on the intranet that I learned from the hospital on February 23rd 13: 43 that after 4 1 hour rescue, Mr. Wu died unfortunately.

In the screenshot, ByteDance said that he had paid all the medical expenses and provided comprehensive logistical support. The company will also provide pensions and care for Wu's family, assist in handling related matters, and try its best to help his family clear customs.

It is normal for internet companies to work overtime.

After the news of the sudden death of employees in ByteDance came out, another engineer from ByteDance stood up and told the story of his struggle with overtime culture.

In this speech, we can learn that at least in the department where the deceased is located, overtime is the norm.

The leader will ask to get off work after 9: 30 every night. If you don't obey, there will be little shoes waiting for you to wear. I can't help thinking of last June. It is reported that an intern became famous overnight in ByteDance. Just because I went to bed before twelve o'clock, I couldn't reply to the message in time and handle my work. The whole department knew the next day.

It can be seen that in ByteDance, overtime has long been the norm. Actually, it's not just jumping. It can be said that the same phenomenon exists in the entire Internet industry.

It's only been half a month since the news of an auditor's sudden death after working overtime during the Spring Festival, and this one is only 25 years old.

Half a month later, another 28-year-old ByteDance died suddenly. I can't help but remind us that some time ago, a freshman of Tencent angered the management in a large group because of overtime work, and finally left angrily.

"No malice, just want to simply ask the leader, if the internal test is postponed for one day, will the enterprise WeChat be closed immediately? Official website delayed the release by one day. Did the customer go to nail the book immediately? Do you have to let developers work for more than 20 hours to make this version full of your favorite? Have you ever considered the life and death of your men when arranging tasks? "

This is a question that touches the soul of the company's management. Is the barbaric expansion of the internet industry exchanged for the overtime and health of countless migrant workers? With the rapid expansion of the Internet industry, "996 Fu Bao" began to prevail; But now the whole industry has entered a contraction period, and the overtime culture has intensified.

The Internet industry has entered a period of contraction.

From the end of last year to this year, ByteDance made many layoffs.

Starting from the education business, then the games, then the local life, and recently the optimization of layoffs in the entire war investment department. At the beginning, in order to maintain growth, ByteDance gradually expanded its territory to medical care, education, corporate services, social interaction, consumption, real estate and other fields through internal R&D and investment. However, this lottery-style gameplay did not achieve the expected results. The education and game businesses have been frustrated, and the real estate business has also been frustrated frequently. In addition, just this afternoon, ByteDance completely divested its securities business.

The sideline business was not done well and the core business began to stop growing. Last June165438+1October 18, ByteDance Commercial Products Department held a staff meeting, at which it was officially confirmed that its domestic advertising revenue had stopped growing in the past six months. As the main income of ByteDance, advertising revenue is very harmful. In addition, according to the Securities Times, Tik Tok's revenue has stopped growing, and another core product is even on the verge of loss today. Ten years have passed, and the byte words that have been leaping forward all the way can't jump now.

Oh, no, actually, the whole internet industry is struggling.

There have been reports of sudden death of employees before. As of the close of February 23rd, its share price was HK$ 248, with a total market value of RMB 96.354 billion. At the end of June last year, Li Li's share price was as high as HK$ 1052. In just over seven months, it plummeted by 76% and its market value evaporated by more than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Judging from the financial report, in the third quarter alone, the loss was 2.686 billion yuan, making it the most serious streaming media in 20021year. Judging from the financial report in the third quarter of last year, Internet companies such as Tencent, Ali and Baidu all experienced a slowdown in growth. Scenery Internet companies have changed their previous high-profile style and "shaped" the image of not making money or losing money. In April of 20021year, Ali was fined182.28 million yuan. However, this is only the beginning. Later, and borrowed Bai started the brand isolation work, and mutual insurance was closed.

202 1 12 On February 23rd, Tencent Holdings suddenly announced that it would reduce its holdings of JD.COM Group by way of dividends, and finally broke up after holding hands for ten years.

In other words, Internet companies are not high-profile. At this time, when the big factory has to give up the benefits brought by the previous barbaric expansion under the pressure of various aspects, the experience of internal employees will be more obvious. For the next growth point of the big factory, those who can't stay are directly laid off, and those who can stay are crazy to work overtime. But for those migrant workers who just want to earn more money and work overtime, no one knows which overtime is the last straw to crush the camel.

Internet vendors frequently have sudden death of employees. Three "ByteDance employees who died suddenly" confirmed their deaths!

According to the interface news report, on February 23rd, in response to the sudden death of an employee surnamed Wu in ByteDance, ByteDance Intranet announced that the employee died at 13: 43 after being rescued at 4 1 hour.

ByteDance said, "The company has paid all the medical expenses and provided comprehensive logistical support. The company will also provide pensions and care for Wu's family, assist in handling related matters, and try its best to help his family tide over the difficulties. "

ByteDance said earlier that he was still trying to rescue him.

At 9 o'clock on the evening of February 22nd, the employee's wife (Wei Wu) sent a message to the owner's WeChat group asking for help, saying, "My husband died suddenly in ByteDance, only 28 years old, and I am 28 years old myself, and I am currently pregnant for two months. At present, our mortgage is more than 265,438+0,000 yuan per month, which has been mortgaged for 30 years. The sudden death of my lover has made me unable to bear the mortgage. Friends, what should I do? Can I check out for a refund? "

On February 23rd, ByteDance Intranet responded to the "sudden death of a 28-year-old employee in ByteDance" circulating on the Internet, saying that the classmate 2 1 had abnormal behavior while exercising in the gym, and the coach called 120 to call emergency personnel to the scene for treatment and then sent them to an ambulance. As of 0: 30 on February 23, the classmate was in critical condition and was still being rescued in the hospital.

In the explanation, on February 2 1 Sunday 18, Wu went to Zhongweitong Gym for exercise. 18: 56, Wu felt dizzy after about 1 hour of exercise, so he went into the teahouse to have a rest. The gym coach found his behavior abnormal and asked him. Wu admitted that it might be hypoglycemia, so the coach immediately poured him a glass of sugar water and informed the administrative front desk to start the SOS duty number.

19: 09, the security manager got the support of sphygmomanometer. After measuring Wu's blood pressure, he suggested contacting colleagues to accompany him to see a doctor. During this period, Wu vomited. 19: 08 coach call 120. At the same time, the security manager and another security guard present gave first aid to Wu Jin (both of them held first aid certificates).

At about 19: 30, 120 emergency personnel arrived at the scene for treatment, and then Wu was taken to an ambulance.

1995, the architect died suddenly because of overwork.

According to Red Star News, Zhao Lei, a designer born in 1996, died suddenly or suddenly in the rental house because of overwork on February 6 this year, which caused concern.

On February 16, some netizens published the article "You 'an Design Staff Exposed to Suspected Exhausted Colleagues" in Weibo, which triggered a heated discussion. The article shows that Zhao Lei, a young designer born in 1996, was exploded or died suddenly in the rental house because of overwork. The article also said that the deceased had been bidding until 65438+127 October, and was also deducted from the year-end bonus, and continued to work overtime after the end of the year.

Subsequently, You 'an Design denied to the media three times in a row: non-working hours, non-working places and non-working reasons. Regarding the cause of death, the general manager of You 'an Design said that he was waiting for forensic identification. Regarding whether the family members of the deceased will pay compensation, You 'an Design said that the issue of compensation will not be discussed, and everything will be decided after the results of forensic identification come out. On February 2 1 day, relatives and friends of the deceased told Red Star News that the relatives of the deceased had already rushed to Shanghai and the company was still negotiating with them.

It is striking that Shanghai You 'an Masterpiece Architectural Design Office Co., Ltd. is a 100% holding subsidiary of the listed company Shanghai You 'an Architectural Design Co., Ltd./KLOC-0. The latter is an engineering consulting company with Chen Lei as its legal representative and 1286 employees. It was listed on the Growth Enterprise Market of Shenzhen Stock Exchange on April 20th, 20021. With the first-class qualification of construction industry (construction engineering), mainly engaged in research and development, consulting and technical services of architectural design business.

On February 2 1 day, relatives and friends of the deceased told Red Star News that after investigation and evidence collection by the police, the time of death given by the forensic doctor was the evening of February 14. February 14 (Monday working day), did not ask for leave from the company, did not go to work. On February 15 (Tuesday on weekdays), the company went to the home of the deceased and found the deceased. Relatives and friends of the deceased also said, "The incident occurred in a rental house, and roommates were other tenants. There is almost no life communication on weekdays, and there is no contradiction after the investigation. "

Relatives and friends of the deceased think that Zhao Lei died suddenly or because of his intensive work in You 'an Design Company in recent years. "From Zhao Lei's graduation to the incident for nearly three years, I heard him mention high-load work many times. What's more, some time before the incident (2022 65438+1October 65438+2022 03-2022 65438+1October 27), the Group received a tender, which caused it to be in a state of high-intensity work all the time, and the off-duty time was often from 2 am to 4 am. "

According to Zhao Lei's chat record before his death, he was designed as the backbone of the company's project by You 'an after graduation three years ago. During my three years of work, words such as "overtime", "staying up late", "staying up late" and "death" gradually appeared in Zhao Lei's chat records.

According to the chat records of June 5438+1October 8 this year, Zhao Lei and his friends said that "I feel dying recently, I can't keep going, and people are confused" and "I feel very close to death recently". In late June this year, after the company accepted the new bidding project in 5438+ 10, Zhao Lei and his friends said, "I really want to die. I want to stay up all night." As early as before, Zhao Lei told his friends that he was "staying up late every day" and "dying".

In order to record the commuting time, Zhao Lei bought a notebook for recording. A working time record in April last year showed that he worked 276.5 hours that month, of which only four days were off, and the average working time per day exceeded 7 days 14 hours. This year's chat record also shows that "after New Year's Day, there should be no rest during the period of 65438+ 10/6-65438+10.27, and most of the time I go to work for more than 12 hours and more than 15 hours for at least two days."

Because of the sudden death of employees, it was caught in a storm.

On February 7th, Wang Luobei, a user who was certified as a workplace blogger in Weibo, said that according to many netizens, the head of the AI audit team in Wuhan was on duty during the New Year, and died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in the early morning of February 5th under the working intensity of 9: 00 pm to 9: 00 am (12 hours).

The incident aroused public concern. Subsequently, in the internal letter, he denied that the employee died suddenly because of overtime, and said that he did not work overtime one week before the incident. "After internal attendance verification, the employee went to work normally according to the work plan of the day, and the working time was 9: 30- 18: 30, with five days off and two days off."

On the evening of February 8th, Billie Billie announced again that after the death of Twilight City Mu Xin, family members and colleagues were in great grief and shock, and the related communication and aftermath were once in chaos. In this regard, the company would like to express its deep apologies to Dawning Mu Xin's family!

Billy said that this year, we will recruit 1 000 auditors, and at the same time, we will organize all the staff of the content security center to carry out intensive physical examination from this month.

In addition, the official Weibo replied to netizens in the comments, "We have never deleted or changed the attendance and overtime records. Please don't believe rumors easily! "

Nearly 1.5 people die of overwork every minute in the world.

Working long hours will increase the risk of death from heart disease and stroke.

Last May, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) released the world's first survey report on the health effects of long working hours.

The report shows that in just one year, 745,000 people around the world died from long-term work. On average, nearly 1.5 people die every minute because of overtime. "Long hours" in this report refers to working 55 hours a week, which is less than "996" 17 hours.

According to the report, there is ample evidence that compared with people who work 35-40 hours a week, people who work long hours (≥55 hours/week) have an increased risk of stroke by 35% and an increased risk of dying from ischemic heart disease 17%.

Chen, an associate professor at the Second Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital, said in a popular science article in China that according to statistics, more than 80% of sudden deaths were cardiac sudden deaths. According to the Statistical Report of Disease Deaths in China, the number of sudden cardiac death in China is about 544,000 every year, which is equivalent to one sudden cardiac death per minute/kloc-0.

Medical sudden cardiac death means that the heart stops beating and breathing in a short time, which eventually leads to death. It is found that only13 young people have relevant medical history (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, coronary heart disease, epilepsy, etc. Before sudden death, 2/3 of the young people who died suddenly had no relevant medical history, that is, 2/3 of sudden death occurred in seemingly healthy people. Long-term stress, staying up late and sedentary are all risk factors that may lead to sudden death.

Professor Chen from the Department of Cardiology, Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine said that sitting for a long time would have certain effects on the heart and brain, for example, increasing the risk of thrombosis.

Studies have shown that the increase of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level in blood will damage blood vessels, form lipid plaques (atherosclerosis) on blood vessel walls, and the plaques will gradually increase, which will lead to vascular stenosis, thus causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke. More dangerously, unstable plaque rupture or thrombus shedding will block blood vessels in a short time, leading to acute myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction, which is life-threatening.

"Plaques in blood vessels are like a time bomb. Once it ruptures and forms a thrombus, it may block blood vessels and lead to myocardial infarction. If the treatment is not timely, it may lead to death. " Professor Chen Zhenyu introduced.
