What do the programmers think of the Weimob operation and maintenance deletion of the database?

There is an old joke in the IT industry. Once the database administrator of a certain company complained that his boss had been mistreating him. As a result, he deleted the database and ran away in anger...

There have been news reports before that the technical director of a technology company in Hangzhou was fired by his boss due to dissatisfaction and had plans to retaliate. Removed some key indexes and some tables on the database. As a result, he was sentenced to two years and six months in prison, suspended for three years, for the crime of destroying computer information systems.

Of course, many famous companies have also encountered the same experience.

A former employee of DJI publicly uploaded the company's private source code to the company's external environment, causing hackers to illegally invade the server and causing a certain amount of commercial losses, which was judged by the court to be 1.146 million yuan. An employee of Bilibili disclosed the source code of Bilibili on GitHub, the world's largest code hosting website.

I don’t know how you feel after reading this. I think everyone understands the truth. The parties involved in these cases must also be legally aware, but they are just acting out of impulse and taking chances, which ultimately results in their own losses.

And today, another employee deleted the database and ran away, but he didn't run away and was caught. At present, this matter has spread in the circle.

The following is a screenshot of Weimob’s official announcement:

The system crashed starting at 7 or 8 pm on February 23, All merchant mini-programs based on Weimob are down and cannot be opened. Merchants’ online businesses have basically come to a halt.

News from Weimob’s official website confirmed that Weimob’s business system database (including primary and backup) was deleted by its company’s operation and maintenance personnel. As of 7:00 a.m. on February 25, Weimob said that the production environment and data repairs were in order, and it is expected that the production environment will be repaired before 24:00 on February 25.

Weimob Group stated, "We are We feel extremely guilty for this human-caused accident and disaster. We will definitely learn from this painful lesson in the future and strengthen the management of online operations and maintenance. At the same time, we also deeply regret that we have neglected to pay attention to the mental state of our employees due to remote working! "

The incident seems to be over. The old rule is that the official has an official statement. Let’s see what netizens say.

A programmer broke the news. Take a look at my former employer who laid off employees and refused to pay compensation. Will Weimob's serious accident lead to a series of chain reactions? Will the original dragon and tiger compete with each other to become the dominant company in the future? After looking at it, the market value has dropped by 1 billion, but it still has an impact... I don't know how long it will take for it to rise back.

Some programmers also mentioned it. This technology is also unclear. If you are laid off, you can go to arbitration without compensation. Although this is a revenge, it will also affect your life. Anyway, I don’t understand, who is this revenge for? company? The company is not a one-person company, so it doesn’t matter if it is shared among the major shareholders. After all, the company cannot go bankrupt. This kind of loss to the boss will not actually result in much. Even if the loss is tens of millions, it will just mean less year-end bonuses for employees and more. The boss will definitely not lose much if he lays off some people.

#Some programmers also think so. If you are under great pressure, you can leave your job and find another job. Your legs will grow on you. Who is forcing anyone? Tencent Cloud executives were furious because Weimeng had thrown all the blame to Tencent Cloud.

Some programmers also complained. It’s not surprising at all. They often make some weird rules. If they can’t stand the company’s weirdness, something will definitely happen. After going public, they will try every means to get rid of dissidents. If you are late a few times, you will be considered absent from work, and then you can lay off employees if the number of late arrivals is reached. Weimob has always been very clever in disguised layoffs.

# From the responses from netizens, we seem to know something.

The market is sluggish. Since the second half of 2018, Internet companies have heard of layoffs. It is a life-and-death crisis for most Internet startups, and many companies have experienced major incidents during the process of layoffs and reductions. From the replies from netizens and the official reply, it is not difficult to see that Weimob did have internal management problems, which led to this vicious incident.

Chinese companies are quite keen on "performance appraisal". The main reasons are that it is quick to produce results, simple and easy to implement, easy to manage, and can quickly profit from it. And this kind of management doesn't take employees seriously at all, and even ignores their feelings. In addition, many small and medium-sized enterprises do not understand labor laws or ignore labor laws. When dealing with the relationship with resigned employees, they harm the legitimate interests of resigned employees and cause some unnecessary labor disputes. As a result, these behaviors that flout the law are eventually punished or paid a corresponding price.

Incidents of database deletion and escaping occur frequently. Here we would also like to remind each company to pay attention to two tasks:

Tighter permissions Management: Most companies have relatively wide permissions for operation and maintenance, which can easily cause accidents.

More reliable backup mechanism: Both the primary and secondary backups can be deleted. Once it is necessary to restore from the disk, the recovery time will be longer. Very slow

Secondly, as a technician, you must not make wrong decisions and land yourself in jail just because of a moment of enthusiasm.

Written at the end:

No matter from any angle, I hope this tragedy can give more companies some experience and hope they can learn from it. , it’s easy to get together and get together easily, and if you need to lay off employees, do a good job in dealing with the aftermath of the employees. Don't lose the hearts of people by casually drawing a pie. What’s hard to keep in a startup team is not the people, but the people’s hearts. Give employees the utmost respect, or allow them to leave with dignity, write a letter of recommendation to employees, etc. Only these attitudes will make those employees who leave their jobs feel forever grateful. This approach will be worthy of admiration, rather than threats or coercion. Wait for dirty tricks.
