He sued Tencent and just wanted to go back to work at Tencent.

At this point, Gates has been laid off by Tencent for 9 months, during which he has not been looking for a job. From the end of March, I applied for labor arbitration to the second instance of the court today. He is determined to fight Tencent to the end.

Besides going to court, he tried many ways to gain public support. He didn't consider using the official WeChat account, saying that he admired Zhang Xiaolong's personality, but he was "afraid he couldn't write it". Before the first trial in August, he tried his pulse and the result was different from what he expected. He accused Tencent, but was accused by netizens of being an old white rabbit.

Before the second trial of 65438+10.9, Gates moved to Weibo. On 2065438+February 27, 2009, he registered the new number "Australian Gates", which took four days to receive the effect and was forwarded to/kloc-0.00 times. There are many historical allusions such as "Tencent in Dog Day" in the comment area.

In Gates' description, he was laid off in middle age and worked overtime for a long time, which led to severe depression, health overdraft and serious illness. ...

In other words, Gates was laid off by himself.

"Tencent's response is fart!" Gates insisted, "Tencent has someone in the arbitration commission, and Tencent won the case in the first instance because the relationship between Nanshan Court and Tencent is unusual."

After the results of the first trial came out at the end of August, he immediately applied to the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court for a second trial.

Gates believes that the second trial can be reversed on the grounds that the second trial is a collegiate bench system. "Tencent's hand can't reach that long." If the second trial fails again, he will go to the Guangdong Provincial High Court. He firmly believes that he will win.

Before he could be tough for two days, Gates got scared. At noon on the 4th, someone who claimed to be a community police station called him to find out about Weibo's rights protection, and Gates began to panic. The next day, two men in patrol uniforms came to the door. Gates called 1 10 to call the police and suspected that someone was impersonating the police station.

Later, it was verified that these two "patrol guards" were really the staff of the community police station. They just came to kindly remind him, "Don't use excessive words to defend rights, lest you be designed by a willing heart."

Gates left Tencent on March 28, 20 19.

At 2: 30 in the afternoon, the sun shone into the C building 15 floor of Kexing Science Park. The warm feeling makes people want to take a nap, but Gates is a little anxious. HR informed him to go to the16th floor for a meeting.

When he entered the office, he saw two colleagues who were anti-fraud sitting inside. On the other hand, he thought he had been "suppressing" the boss, and there were two HR sitting opposite him. Gates felt that this containment gesture.

HR informed Gates that Tencent terminated the labor relationship with him, paid N+ 1 compensation, and all the enterprise WeChat, email, intranet account and access card were recovered. HR reminded him to go back to his station as soon as possible to pack things, and said that the company could also help him pack them and send them home.

Gates thought he was fired by Tencent because he reported the problem to the top and was retaliated. However, HR questioned that Gates could not produce valid evidence and could not prove his statement with facts. The reason why Tencent terminated the labor contract with him is low work performance, long-term lax attitude, absenteeism and absenteeism.

Gates dare not make trouble in the company. At this time, the appearance of a dozen security guards has frightened him. When the two armies confronted each other, Gates was only one person, and his height was less than 170, so he lost a lot in momentum. He also heard that Tencent's security guards are all veterans. "Heroes don't suffer immediate losses."

Coming out of the conference room on 16 floor, Gates had only one thought in his mind: What should I do? I have no money.

He doesn't know what to do next. A group of security guards have been following him to the workstation on 15 floor to pack things.

Walking back to the corridor again, Gates' footsteps are already heavy. He thought of asking for help and ran to the balcony on the fifth floor of/kloc-0 to call his lawyer friend in Beijing. The other party told him, "as long as you don't sign, it's okay to move things."

The dismissal came in a hurry. The keyboard, mouse, monitor on Gates' desk and the R&D books on computer software on the balcony are simply packed in bags, and a dozen bags can never be filled.

At the same time, Gates felt a strong sense of humiliation. There are not only a dozen security guards around him, but Tencent is a completely open office area, and more than 0/00 colleagues in the department are watching him being swept out of the house.

From the 15 floor to the underground parking lot, two HR followed him, and five security guards helped him with his luggage until everything was put in Gates' car. At this point, it is already 5: 30 in the afternoon. At this time, Gates will go downstairs to eat in the canteen, or go to the basement, where there is a food street and everything. Gates is used to walking around the building after dinner, digesting food, relaxing, and then going upstairs to continue his work.

Facing the security guard, Gates couldn't control his emotions and began to growl: Why are you still following me? You want me to call the police?

Say that finish this sentence, Gates turned and ran. He doesn't know where to run, he just wants to run. After running for a few minutes, he saw that no one was chasing him, so he was relieved and wandered aimlessly in the park. China Construction Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank are particularly dazzling. "If the job is gone, how can I repay the loan for the house and car?"

He has no appetite to eat, and he doesn't remember how long he has been gone. It was completely dark, and programmers who came out for food went into the building one by one to continue their work. He went back to the underground parking lot and drove to the first floor, intending to go home. I can't help getting off the bus again. Go back to 15 floor and have a look.

Because there is no access card, Gates can only stand outside the glass door. He found that the security guard quietly picked up the walkie-talkie as soon as he saw him coming.

At 2 pm on March 29th, the day after being laid off, Gates went to Shenzhen Labor and Personnel Dispute Arbitration Committee to apply for labor arbitration.

The appeal of arbitration is different from that of most people. He doesn't want compensation, but wants to win the lawsuit through legal means, so that Tencent and he can continue to perform the labor contract. He believes that he will win and it is only a matter of time before he returns to Tencent. Even before the results of the first trial came out, he was looking forward to the company settling with him.

He doesn't care that going back to work at Tencent may be embarrassing. "He hates me, so I hate him." Although he knew he wouldn't resent Tencent for long, his labor contract ended on 202 1.

This appeal also made Gates desperate to provoke Tencent in the next nine months, which turned into an absurd large-scale performance art. He was convinced that he would win, but he lost twice.

On May 3 1 day, as a result of labor arbitration, Shenzhen issued a blue warning of thunder and lightning, and dark clouds enveloped the city, and thunder and lightning came as scheduled. At 5 pm, Gates received a notice reminding him that the arbitration had ended. He drove there in heavy rain and got the arbitration book five minutes before leaving work at 6 o'clock.

He turned directly to the last page, and six big words appeared on it: Rejecting the plaintiff's request. "A bolt from the blue, really crazy!"

Standing at the gate of the arbitration commission, it was raining cats and dogs outside. Gates trembled with anger. It took him half an hour to wake up. He photographed the verdict and sent it to his lawyer friend in Beijing. The two decided to go to court.

According to legal procedures, his first instance procedure was in Nanshan District People's Court. It is less than 2 kilometers away from Kexing Science Park where he works.

Tencent responded to the lawsuit and presented the evidence-according to the monitoring of Gates workstation, it was determined that his on-the-job time was no more than 8 hours per day. Shooting time: February 20th1February-March 2nd1,shooting time: 10- 18.

"Anyone who doesn't understand the law knows that you can't take the video of the opposite line station as evidence." At the thought of Tencent using video as evidence, Gates seems to have lit an explosive barrel. A round face flushed bright red, swollen eyes stared high and her voice was eight degrees high. "Video evidence is bullshit and can't be the core evidence. I have been engaged in video software development for more than 20 years, and my brother started a company to be Skynet for more than 10 years. Spying on me is not nonsense! "

As a result, Gates continued to lose the case in the first instance. Gates reflected on the reason for the failure: it is impossible to win a lawsuit with Tencent in Nanshan Court.

He immediately applied for a second trial and insisted that even if he couldn't go anywhere, he would go to the end with Tencent. "We must get a judgment to revoke the results of labor arbitration and first instance. Be sure to win! "

When he applied for the second trial, Gates had been unemployed for half a year, with no income, no mind to find a job, and no project to make money. He has to pay back more than 30 thousand loans every month, so he has to borrow 600 thousand from his college classmates for emergency.

10 went to Hong Kong to buy insurance. He is about 42 years old. During the physical examination, he found that many physical indicators were unqualified, including thyroid nodules, hyperlipidemia and high blood pressure, so that he could not buy insurance. "At this age, it is basically slag."

He thinks it's all Tencent's fault.

Gates told Facebook that he would not hesitate to sell the house in order to file a lawsuit against Tencent. He has a suite in his hometown and a suite in Shenzhen. The house in his hometown was divided, with a value of 6.5438+0.8 million, while the house in Shenzhen was bought by him with a loan, bearing millions of debts.

But Gates also said that his 70-year-old mother called to persuade him to sell the house in Shenzhen, and he didn't want to. He lost his job and sold his house, so he has no place to live in Shenzhen. So sell the house in your hometown? Gates said that the real estate license hasn't come down yet and can't be sold.

Working in Tencent has always been the pride of Gates.

After graduating from college, Gates worked in Beijing for 13 years. He first set foot in Shenzhen for an interview with Tencent on 20 12.

Gates' first impression of Tencent is "first" and "rich". When he first heard about Tencent in 2007, Tencent was already the largest Internet vendor, with great fame and high income, which was far beyond the reach of Gates' traditional Internet industry.

35 years old is usually considered as a hurdle in the workplace, but Gates jumped to Tencent at the age of 35 and passed an interview.

He thinks he is awesome. "Tencent publicly said that it wants to recruit the best in the industry. As soon as I entered, I was T3, a senior engineer. " He quickly calculated T3' s position in the industry in his mind, and reached a simple and intuitive conclusion: in a department with 150 people, there are no more than 10 senior engineers except six management layers. And in 20 15, he was promoted to T3.3, and Gates was even more proud: in a team of 100 people, T3.3 had almost three people.

According to headhunting statistics, the average annual income of this level position is 1.5 million. The amount he actually got was halved, and the annual salary and year-end bonus added up to no more than 600,000. The year-end award can be stabilized at around 6.5438+0.8 million almost every year, and it is already a leader in the circle of classmates.

Tencent's aura also made him quickly become a "legend" in the circle of classmates. Gates is a leader in the domestic Internet industry. At the beginning of the wave of domestic Internet industry in 1990s, most students in the same high school as Gates chose to study medicine, and many people chose lawyers. When Gates heard that Bill Gates, the richest man across the sea, studied computers, he decided to choose computers. 1999 graduated from university, which coincides with the explosive growth of the domestic internet market.

I have worked in Beijing for many years before and have never been abroad. After arriving at Tencent, he can go abroad once or twice a year, and Southeast Asian countries have been there almost every time. In his mind, there are almost no companies in the Internet industry that are better treated than Tencent.

The moment he received Tencent's offer, Gates felt that he had reached the peak of his life. He told his parents the good news at the first time, and their parents told him to do a good job. Even though both parents don't understand the Internet and have never been in contact with it, both old people know that Tencent has a high salary.

From the interview to the entry formalities, in less than 20 days, he is looking forward to working in Tencent as soon as possible. "I went to Shenzhen the night before I joined the job, and I rushed to go through the entry formalities the next day."

The office building where Gates once worked.

Gates is in charge of video software development in the QT product department of Tencent Mutual Entertainment. In the first six months of his employment, Gates got off work every night 12, without rest on Saturday and Sunday, trying to prove his strength.

He is confident in his work performance: "I am the only person in the entertainment department of 20 12 Tencent who can do live video broadcast", "I developed live video broadcast myself" and "my performance will always be 4 stars".

Bright work, considerable income and good performance. For Gates, a rural child, this is the success he can think of.

He moved his hukou from his hometown to Shenzhen and lived a middle-class life in a first-tier city. In the third year of employment, he rose from T3 to T3.3, and successfully renewed his contract with Tencent for 6 years. According to the practice of promotion and salary increase, Gates' salary doubled. As soon as he changed the state of renting a house to work, he decided to buy a house and settle down.

At that time, in Shenzhen, the house price rose 1 in June, and the Gates period area was located in the suburb of Shenzhen near Dongguan, and the average price per square meter had exceeded 65,000. Together, the house and the car were backed by nearly 6 million loans, which almost ate up the monthly income. There has been no capital turnover since 20 15.

Gates weighed his repayment ability and felt that as long as he stayed in Tencent, he would have a chance to repay it.

At the end of 20 15, a Tencent employee suddenly fell to the ground and died while walking with his wife on Sunday. When Gates heard the news, his first reaction was shock, and then he was worried, so he changed his overtime hours and tried to leave before 9 o'clock. Gates explained: "Tencent's culture is that you can't leave before 9 o'clock, because no one dares to leave. Even if you finish your work, you can't leave early. "

Tencent's public relations staff do not recognize this statement, saying that Tencent does not have this overtime culture. Several Tencent programmers told the face-to-face group that the company has no overtime regulations, and programmers will get off work according to the project and will inform the group in advance before 9: 00.

Gates felt that Tencent's reason for cutting him off because his attendance time was less than eight hours was untenable. "Why didn't Tencent dare to produce video evidence after 18?"

He rejected Tencent's "N+ 1" compensation and must get back a "fair".

In response to Gates' unilateral accusation, Tencent provided the face-to-face school with an investigation report on Gates' performance of duties. The report showed that since the end of 20 18, Gates refused to perform his duties and four tasks failed to produce effective results. There is no record of code submission in these four months, and almost every weekly report is the same text. The quantity and quality of work output do not meet the work requirements of T3.3, and there are some problems such as neglecting work arrangement, being late and leaving early, and being absent from work.

Gates retorted that the difficulty and intensity of the work arranged during that time were higher than the post requirements, and he always "tried his best to finish".

After being laid off for nine months, lawsuits filled Gates' life. After Weibo regained his popularity, this vocal place became an outlet for his anger. He decided that Tencent had someone in the Arbitration Commission and planned to expose him in Weibo. He has made up his mind that before the lawsuit is concluded, his daily energy is not only to send Weibo, but also to look at the information and study how to win.

He felt that the horn of victory was not far away from him. "According to the process, this case will be completely closed at the end of February." However, at the scene of the second trial in 6543810.9, in the half-hour trial, it was still Gates who performed the one-man show. No one from Tencent came to talk to him directly from beginning to end.

He replied: Isn't this a joke? There is little chance of winning. I can't last that long.

After the lawsuit was over, he didn't consider it at all. "I didn't think about the future."

He said that he worked in Tencent for 7 years and never went out for an interview. "I don't know how the market is now."
