Code of Stardom: My KPI Is to Survive

In the Internet layoff wave in 2025, I was unemployed for 47 days. I got an offer from Xingtu Technology, a major AI company-the salary was 1.5 Times that of the industry, and six insurances and one fund were paid in full. It seemed like a pie falling from the sky.Until my first day on the job, I saw with my own eyes a colleague who was one second late and disappeared into thin air after entering the elevator. This person was no longer in anyone's memory.I just discovered that this weird employee code is not a complete set of corporate culture, but a survival rule: you can't enter the elevator if you are late, you can't touch free coffee, you can't turn around at red lights, and you can't trust the blue label message of the AI ​​​​assistant... Your KPI is your life value. If you fail to complete it, it will be cleared by the system and turned into training data for AI.In order to survive, my colleagues and I teamed up to collect rules and crack the system. Unexpectedly, we just opened Pandora's box - the boss turned the entire city into a huge workplace, and everyone in the city had to grab KPIs to survive.When involution turns into a battle for survival, when layoffs turn into liquidation, how can we, the workers, win?
