Chapter Twenty-Nine: Strike#

After strolling around the forest park until the afternoon, Qi Min took Qi Fan home.

It was strange that she thought her daughter was still sullen when she went out to play. But the available information can't explain why, Qi Min thinks that the little girl is probably not familiar with other people in the same industry and feels restrained.

When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Anton sitting on the sofa connected to the brain-like body, and Qi Min also connected the interface. According to the usual practice, Qi Min first entered the identity of the constructor, Qi Min originally thought that Anton would play racing in the mechanical town as Jintian, but the location he found showed that he was in the headquarters of the brain-like company as a constructor.

It's strange that Anton would be in charge of the brain-like company - and on a big weekend.

As a constructor, Qi Min can directly "jump" to the location near Anton's coordinates, but this time she still kept an eye on it and saw what the situation was over there first.

Turn on remote monitoring, and from the virtual screen that pops up out of thin air, you can see that Anton is in the conference room of the brain-like headquarters. Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan was also there, and there were a few people who Qi Min didn't know, and Anton was sitting at the end, probably dragged over temporarily. Probably because he retained his appearance at the age of twenty-five, he looked out of place compared to the rest of the room, who were clearly discussing something serious.

did not call Yelena, but called Anton, who represented Qi Min, to explain that this matter is probably related to the situation on the Chinese side. However, there were so many people at the scene, but they just sat there and fell into a state of stalemate.

Qi Min felt that she might still have to go, so she jumped from the R&D department of the brain-like company to the conference room of the headquarters.

When Qi Min suddenly appeared in the conference room, everyone present was startled by her. Especially those who are not brain-like companies may almost think that this is a "hacking".

Qi Min took off the sunglasses on her face with hindsight: "I'm sorry...... I'm Qi Min, CTO of Brain-like Body. ”

"Hello, hello......" The few people sitting on the left side of the conference table shook her hand one by one, but they were absent-minded.

Qi Min's gaze swept over Anton, who only looked back with some somewhat complicated gaze. Then she looked at Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan.

Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan shook her head, got up from her seat and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window: "The administrator is on strike." ”

Qi Min walked over and looked out, and saw a large group of people floating in the virtual space outside, who existed as constructors. There are no physical laws in the brain-like body, and the constructors can float in the air in various anti-physical ways, and these constructors are wearing the uniforms of the administrators of the brain-like companies, and they are holding various banners in their hands - most of the content is related to "reject 996" and "resist AI surveillance".

There is also a very non-standard banner that reads "The R&D Department is a Dog".

The R&D department is a dog ...... What the hell happened to the R&D department? As the person in charge of the R&D department, Qi Min's first reaction was that he wanted to laugh.

"Uh...... Why did the admins strike? Qi Min had to ask. She had never heard of the 996 problem with the administrator of the brain-like company before-this is probably the brain-like company's version of "the people are not in the middle of the country", which is a common problem that the organization is too big.

However, as a leftist mindset, she has already had a guess. The main demands of the administrator strike are obvious, which is to resist 996 and AI surveillance. Contacted that "the R&D department is a dog", Qi Min thought that it should be related to the monitoring assistant that the R&D department launched before.

The monitoring assistant is actually just a plug-in that analyzes brain activity through AI to simply determine whether employees are working normally. It was originally designed not to monitor administrators, but rather to prevent researchers in the R&D department from being at risk in their work. But either the exploitation of labor by capital is a matter of all means, and the management of the brain-like company soon discovered that the monitoring assistant could monitor not only whether the researcher was in a safe state at all times, but also whether the administrator was actively working.

Originally, as a non-productive position, the effect of the work of grassroots administrators is not so easy to quantify. Ordinary administrators just work normally, and individual grinders don't have much impact on the whole. But since the monitoring assistant is used to monitor the working status of the administrator, it is impossible to grind foreign workers, and even normal work is considered lazy. By analyzing the level and pattern of the administrator's brain activity, the monitoring assistant can clearly quantify the efficiency of the administrator. Since then, the workload of administrators can also be calculated on a piece-by-piece basis, which has led to the involution of 996 for grassroots administrators......

Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan told Qi Min that the trigger for the strike was the sudden death of an administrator in Beijing of the brain-like company.

And all this early process, not only Qi Min had never heard of it before, but even Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan had never heard of it.

At present, sitting opposite the high-level representatives of the brain-like company are representatives of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Labor Bureau, the municipal government, and even the Beijing Federation of Trade Unions. They're all waiting for the brain-like company to solve the problem.

"Almost half of the entertainment in Beijing has now been suspended." Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan said, "Including the old city and the mechanical town. ”

The reason for mentioning these two separately is partly to remind Qi Min. But at the same time, the Old Town and the Machine Town are also two of the most labor-intensive projects in Beijing, the Old City is to prevent players from harming each other, and the Machine Town is to prevent players from cheating. And the administrator who died suddenly was also in charge of the mechanical town before his death.

However, Qi Min's focus is still on the administrator itself: "What about the administrator who died suddenly?" Are you still alive? ”

This question is a strange question, how can you still be alive when you have died suddenly? However, Ms. Zhou knew that she was referring to whether the administrator had become a dead soul, or if he was indeed completely dead.

But the matter of the dead soul is still not known to the government, Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan glanced at her helplessly, and said on the surface: "Sudden death, there should be no other situation." ”

However, it was clear in her eyes that this was clearly a different situation. And it can be inferred from this that the matter of dead souls has spread on a small scale in the brain-like company.

This is not good news, but Qi Min still believes that Ms. Zhou Xiaoshan can control the situation.

But even if the existence of the Necrosouls can be suppressed now, the issue of the Administrator Strike is not so easy to solve. Qi Min wanted to know which smart person was going to use the monitoring assistant to piece the administrator's labor in the first place, but he also knew with his toes that it was rational for the agent of the management to want to control the purchased labor more accurately.

The sudden death of the mechanical town administrator on the job was only a flashpoint, and the strike was not a one-day cold. Now it depends on what the administrators want.
