The PR chief of Baidu has reportedly left the Chinese search engine just days after she sparked a public relations crisis with controversial comments endorsing a tough workplace culture.
A top public relations executive from Chinese technology firm Baidu apologized Thursday after she made comments in a series of videos that critics said glorified a culture of overwork. Baidu's head of communications Qu Jing sparked a public outcry in China after she implied in the videos that she was not concerned about her employees as she was “not their mom” and said she only cared about results. The backlash was swift, with many on social media platforms like Weibo criticizing Qu for her lack of empathy.
A PR chief has come under fire for demanding staff do 50-day business trips and dismissing concerns about long hours by saying: “I’m not your mother”.
