Workplace Rules: Seven-Day Probation Period

Thirty-five-year-old Lin Mo fell from being the product director of a large factory to the bottom. He was unemployed for three months, his mortgage was overdue, alimony reminders were piled on half the table, and his life was a mess. An email with "One million annual salary, no interview required, same-day employment" landed in front of him. He gritted his teeth and walked to the 17th floor of Qiming Technology and signed a seven-day trial period agreement. Rules are announced day by day: no staying at work at 18:00, no disappearing or optimizing comments, no collusion in transmitting information... Violators will be subject to permanent optimization. On the first day, the old employee who violated the rules in public disappeared out of thin air, and everyone's memory was erased simultaneously. Only Lin Mo remembered all the details. While others were trembling in the cracks in the rules, he used the thinking of a product manager for ten years to break down boundaries, find loopholes, and fight back against the old fritters who tried to shift blame and create traps. He stepped on the loopholes in the rules and worked steadily. But the scratches on the door are increasing day by day, broken paper cups appear repeatedly, and traces of Chen Kai, his old boss who fell to his death five years ago, are everywhere. Lin Mo gradually saw clearly: this seven-day probation period was never recruitment. It is a trial of atonement that has been delayed for five years, and it is also a life and death situation that has been repeated countless times. On the seventh day, what he wanted to win was never the million-dollar annual salary, but the qualification to go out alive.
