Chapter 150 Everyone is equal on July 24th

Baidu's culture is equal, and when conflicts arise, everyone will reason.Everyone will seriously discuss what the objective facts are, what is right, and what is wrong.Under this premise, no matter whether it is a salesperson or a technical person, including the CEO, everyone is the same.Whoever has a high status does not have to listen to anyone. As an Internet company supported by technology, in Baidu, data is everything. When there are differences and contradictions, objective facts must be allowed to speak. The differences between departments and the level of status must give way in front of the facts.

A product of Baidu Japan was launched, and K, a new employee who joined Baidu’s product marketing department, handed over the evaluation report as required. The supervisor did not explain too much, but asked Atsushi Masuda, the vice president of the Japanese company in Tokyo, to conduct a re-evaluation. K suspected that the supervisor wanted to improve the test score through retrospective inspections, because Masuda Jun's test score was much lower than K's.After discussing with other colleagues, the supervisor felt that Masuda Jun's judgment method was biased, so he asked him to re-evaluate.A week later, Atsushi Masuda's re-evaluation result was still much lower than K's result.Faced with two evaluation scores with huge differences, the supervisor decided that there must be a problem in one of the links, so he and other colleagues evaluated each case one by one.Considering the differences in the way of understanding between China and Japan, the supervisor also deliberately ruled out possible biases in various aspects of estimation, and the final evaluation score is the median number of the two evaluations by Atsushi Masuda.This report was finally submitted to the upper-level person in charge, and was also approved by the R&D department, which became the basis for actual work adjustments. K finally understood that at any time, rigor, seeking truth from facts, and striving to seek the objective truth are the goals everyone pursues.

Every effort must be made to pursue objective facts.
