Sohu was fined for being late 5-500 yuan. Zhang Chaoyang hopes thatemployees will be passionate about their work.

NetEase Technology News said on January 8 that at the beginning of the newyear, Sohu's "new attendance rules" emails sent to employees wereexposed. The new rules require employees to work before 9:30 and impose afine of 500 yuan on latecomers, which has caused heated debate in theindustry. Previously, Zhang Chaoyang, Chairman and CEO of Sohu, hasrepeatedly suggested that Sohu employees should invest enough time in the newyear to be more dedicated and diligent in order to achieve more efficientcommunication.

This is also Sohu's harshest punishment for being late since itsestablishment. According to Sohu insiders, Sohu had previously imposed afine of 5 yuan on latecomers.

Sohu said that Sohu's move to start the New Year was a footnote to ZhangChaoyang's 2020 New Year's speech "Volume Word" and a New Year's"Volume Word" written for internal magazines.

At 0103010, he sent a message to employees asking them to do two things in thenew year. First, only when the sun rises every day do you start thinkingabout your work for that day. When the sun goes down, you are stilldiscussing work enthusiastically. Only when you are excited about yourwork can you be maximally mobilized. In understanding the granularity ofthe problem, you become smarter, more thoughtful, more creative, and moredetailed. "Furthermore, hard work can make your spirit strong andhealthy. On the contrary, people who have nothing to do or delay are morelikely to be anxious." Zhang Chaoyang said.

Secondly, he requires that as Sohu employees, everyone has the obligation tolearn and understand. "You have an obligation to know what otherrelevant departments are doing, you have an obligation to use Sohu's mainproducts, and you have an obligation to read reports about the company."Zhang Chaoyang said: "In an organization that moves quickly in units ofhours, you must Feel the pulse of the organization with the same time densityand become part of its pulse.

As can be seen from Zhang Chaoyang's recent speech, he has repeatedlyemphasized the importance of his work. "This is a person'sresponsibility, obligation and mission." Zhang Chaoyang said,"Employees should work with due diligence and take work as a veryimportant part of themselves. If each of us wants to survive in this world, doour job well.

If he fails to achieve his goals, he will face punishment, which may be warnings,withholding bonuses, and even resignation He mentioned that if this is not thecase, it would be unfair to good employees.
