钉钉：一封信，让大老板走了

Today we'll talk about a thing.

This thing is about an object.

This object is in China.

Very, very many people have it.

Many people use it every single day.

Do you have it too?

Maybe yes.

Maybe no.

Either way, it's okay.

We'll go slowly.

So what is this object for?

Let's think about grown-ups.

Grown-ups all have to do work.

Doing work is for money.

When grown-ups work, they have to talk to many people.

When they talk, sometimes they don't meet face to face.

If they don't meet, how do they talk?

They use this object.

Using it, they can talk to many people.

You don't have to go anywhere, and neither does he.

You can still talk.

This object is called 'DingTalk'.

In China, many grown-ups use DingTalk.

They use DingTalk to talk to other people.

Some people like DingTalk.

Some people don't really like it.

Why don't they like it?

We'll say in a moment.

Okay.

Now you know DingTalk.

DingTalk is an object.

Grown-ups use it to talk to other people.

So who makes DingTalk?

DingTalk is made by a company.

What is a company?

A company is: a place where many people do work together.

The company that makes DingTalk has many people.

Every day, they all work on DingTalk.

The person we're talking about today is one of them.

He's also at this company.

He worked on DingTalk for a few years.

But, a few days ago, he left.

He's not at this company anymore.

He stopped.

Why did he stop?

When he left, he did one thing.

He wrote a letter.

What is a letter?

A letter is: you take the words you want to say and write them down.

Write them on paper, or write them on a computer.

Then you show them to others.

The letter he wrote was long.

Very, very long.

Why so long?

Because he had a lot he wanted to say.

What did he say in the letter?

He said:

'I work here.

I'm very tired.

Everyone is very tired.

Every day we do a lot of things.

But some of those things are useless.

Even when done, they're useless.

Our boss only wants to look good himself.

He doesn't want good for us.

I'm unhappy inside.

So I'm going to leave.'

This letter was finished.

Many people at the company read it.

They read it, and inside they thought too:

'What he said is true.

We're like this too.

We're very tired too.'

There was another person who also left.

This person used to be a boss.

He also wrote a letter.

In his letter he said:

'What he said is all true.

I think the same way too.'

These two letters spread farther and farther.

More and more people read them.

Later, the big company found out too.

Above DingTalk, there's an even bigger company.

This big company said:

'This is not right.

Making everyone this tired is not right.

This is not the way we want things to be.'

A few more days passed.

DingTalk's biggest boss left.

He was DingTalk's biggest boss.

Now he's not doing it anymore.

Who will do it?

A new person came.

This new person is very young.

He is thirty-four years old this year.

Not old.

He used to make things himself.

He made them very well.

Now, he comes to be DingTalk's biggest boss.

Finally, let's think.

One person wrote a letter.

He just said a few true words.

Later, the biggest boss at the company left.

Can a letter really have such a big effect?

Maybe it can.

Maybe true words are simply useful.

Finally, I want to ask you.

Is there a true word in your heart you want to say?

But you've never said it?

Maybe at your company.

Maybe at home.

What is that true word?

You can think about it.
