Summary

Welcome to 听故事说中文, the podcast where stories come alive to help you improve your Chinese language proficiency and cultural competency.

Have you ever felt like someone was watching you? For Pipi, a 32-year-old working in Beijing, that feeling became a literal reality overnight. Her company, struggling with declining profits, decided to install high-tech AI surveillance—cameras that don't just record video, but analyze exactly how long you're at your desk and even if you look like you're daydreaming.

Management hoped this "digital boss" would spark a new wave of productivity. Instead, the office went silent. Genuine collaboration was replaced by anxiety and a quiet, collective resistance known as "lying flat."

In today's episode, we follow Pipi as she navigates an environment where trust has been replaced by algorithms. It's a fascinating look at the modern workplace, the limits of technology, and the universal human need for dignity.

Let's dive into the story and see why Pipi believes that true efficiency can't be forced by a camera.

—Rui and Simeng

32岁的匹匹在北京一家通信软件公司工作。

2:18.0

今年10月底,公司花了25万元,

2:23.0

在办公区安装了一套AI監控系統。這套系統可以記錄員工的在港時間和動作頻率,還能像智能住手一樣回答老闆的問題。谁离港了?谁笑得低?

2:49.0

谁?智能住手一样回答老板的问题谁离港了谁效率低谁看起来在发呆管理曾相信这会带来效率的提升甚至希望他成为公司重新证作的开始然而现实的走向却完全不同期待中的拼尽与动力并没有出现取而代之的是一种越来越明显的无奈

3:27.4

焦虑以及后来蔓延开的集体百烂安装那天早上匹匹向往长夕来到公司他刚坐下来,就发现自己头顶上方多了一台设相头

3:53.3

警头正对着他,没有任何遮挡。

4:01.3

后来他才知道

4:05.0

公司一夜之間

4:07.0

在所有辦公區域完成了安裝

4:12.0

沒有提前通知任何人

4:17.0

出於好奇

4:19.0

他查了設備信息

4:22.0

才意識到

4:24.0

這並不是普通设想头。而是一套原本用在工厂和工地的系统,情绪度极高,甚至能放大,看到电脑屏幕上的聊天内容。

4:46.0

还会把所谓一场行为,保存整整三个月。老板随时可以掉去。面对这样的监控,他坐在座位上,總覺得不自在

5:06.7

越小越緊張原本的工作節奏被打亂反而更難集中經歷幾天之後辦公室的氣氛開始發生明显变化大家变得沉默 说话减少 声音变轻原本自然的交流 见解消失过去那些会走过去 讨论項目順便了解句生活的人如今大多安靜的坐在坐位前,像被固定在屏幕前一樣這種緊張也並转化成更用力工作相反,它很快变成了另一种情绪既然不管做什么都有可能被误解那不如干脆慢下来。于是,现下交流减少了,微信群却热闹起来。有人经常下楼走一走,环解压力。有人刻意把项目节奏拉長,不再主動加速。

6:48.0

也有人悄悄開始準備離開公司。老闆期待的效率提升,並沒有出現。安装AI来监工一事,其实并非偶然。过去两年,公司收入一直在下华,竞争越来越激烈,客户不断流失。老板吃吃找不到真正的方向,只能不斷发布提效文件。而,当这些措施也不揍笑时,监控就成了那张最后的牌。然而,这张牌并没有带来答案只是让本就脆弱的信任进一步破碎在这样的环境下员工们开始进行一些無聲的回應有人偶爾拔掉攝像頭的網線有人用膠帶遮住鏡頭有人繼續完成工作卻不再�意投入顾外的热情。也有人干脆认真准备考公务员,或寻找下一份工作。办公室已久安静,设相头已就在运转。但许多人心里已经悄悄做出了选择皮皮后来把自己的经历写到社交平台很快收到了很多共鸣在来月多企业开始用AI监控员工用数据衡量效率

9:30.0

但同时也带来了更多关于

尊严信任和工作的讨论

最后 匹匹留下了一句话
