Pang Donglai has come up with another trick: employees directly vote to decide whether to detain a leader. This is the first democratic appraisal in 26 years, and the result also surprised everyone. 19 members of management were demoted, 1 person was dismissed directly, the whole process was anonymous, and feedback came with no “special treatment” (no retaliation). More than 1.6万 employees participated, and 455 leaders had already been assessed.
