这几天和某个学员聊天，说他们公司，已经成了一个人人表演的舞台。 参加一个会议，下面的人做好了方案，PPT 刚打开，结果老板进来第一句话就是："这个方案先别讨论 了，我已经想好了方向，你们围绕这个方向落地就行。" 全场沉默，没人说话，没人反驳。 换老板演示 PPT，全场都开始点头，即使有任何问题，也没人站起来提意见，因为"听老板的话"，已经 成了这家公司的第一生存法则。 他说那一刻才意识到：原来方案是不需要讨论的，我们只需要"帮老板自证英明"。 我之前以为"烂公司"是流程乱、制度差、加班多，但听他讲了之后才知道，原来真正的烂公司，是一边 腐烂，一边自我神化。 在这种烂环境中，你要是说实话，就会被视为"不懂大局观"；你要是稍微动点脑子，就会被评价为"情 商不高"——最吓人的是，所有人都知道这一切，但所有人都在装。 这种烂环境，反对的是一切清醒的人和事。 刚毕业入职的时候，我也像很多人一样，觉得"只要我够努力，就能升职加薪"。 后来才发现，努力反而是最不重要的那一个因素。 你问他们累不累？他们会说："习惯就好。" 因为他们早已放弃了抵抗，只保留了一个技能——察言观色： 他们从不表达真实意见，只说"组织想听的话"；他 ...

本文来自微信公众号：非非马，作者：非非马，头图来自：视觉中国 宗庆后与杜建英有实质婚姻；杜建英的身份是宗庆后妻子。 这是宗馥莉三叔宗泽后在接受百年财经媒体《巴伦》采访时的最新"爆料"。 不过，虽然《巴伦》是道琼斯集团旗下的知名财经媒体，但这篇消息的采写，却很不专业，事实部分疑点和漏洞重重。今天这篇文章我会为大家着重分析 最关键的三点。 第一，文章完全建立在宗泽后的一家之言上。涉及到重要事实信息，比如宗庆后杜建英已婚，杜作为宗庆后的妻子，理应享有合法继承权等，报道对此未 作任何考证与探究。 首先一个疑点就是：宗泽后自己此前刚接受了"财经无忌"采访，亮出了一份家谱截图照片。 上面的宗庆后子女，只有宗馥莉一人。 他更直接指控宗馥莉雇佣水军。 很可惜，从报道里，我们什么也没看到。 宗庆后的妻子，交代的则是"娶绍兴施幼珍为妻"。 第二，宗泽后还宣称，从现有状况来看，宗馥莉继承了父亲的大部分遗产，而杜建英的三个小孩遗产根本无法跟宗馥莉相比。同样，这些话也是需要证据 来支撑的。他有看到宗庆后的遗嘱吗？能明确什么财产由谁继承了吗？ 如果说杜建英和宗庆后是在2008年元月之后正式结婚了，那么为何宗泽后在上次采访中却完全没有和媒 ...

声势浩大的外卖大战终于要被叫停了。 就在上周，市场监管总局约谈外卖平台三位巨头，提醒他们理性竞争。 言下之意就是，别卷了，再卷下去大家都没好果子吃。 这声"叫停"来得很及时。 因为就在约谈前两天，美团核心本地商业CEO王莆中非常坦率地向媒体表达了他对"外卖大战"的看法："（现在）这样卷没意义，对行业也是伤害。" 王莆中说得很直白，现在外卖大战中大多数订单是"泡沫"。 那种"1块钱买12瓶水"的低价订单，除了能够让订单量数据变得好看，其实没有任何作用，既不能带来交易额增长，也没办法创造出利润，只会扭曲整个 市场。 明知道没用，为什么还要做呢？ 首先，用户的热情会刺激这件事发生。 新平台接连涌入，试图复制过往"烧钱换市场"的模式，通过"百亿补贴"掀起行业价格战。 短短不到三个月的时间内，市场前赴后继地涌入近800亿补贴资金时（京东两次宣布投入百亿、饿了么宣布投入百亿、淘宝闪购宣布投入五百亿），补贴 已经不仅仅是补贴，而成为一种全民节日的存在。 "你不想做，用户也会让你做的。"毕竟气氛已经烘托到位了。 一 另外，其它平台都在做，你不做，就会被认为是怕了，是输了。 就像王莆中说的那样，美团不想内卷，也一直在反内卷，并 ...

商品市场对反内卷的计价已然轰轰烈烈。很多人尝试对标2015～2016年的供给侧改革行情，但值得注意 的是，此时与彼时已有很大的不同：在见到供改的明确方案和目标前，市场已经迅速进入了加速的阶 段。历史记忆之下，市场似乎明显压缩了上一轮"质疑"和"犹豫"的环节。 这表明，在各路测算之余，我们还需要对上一轮供改的"情绪节奏"进行复盘，我们看到，在巨大的上升 行情中，质疑、笃定、验证、恐慌、凝聚、狂热…在每一个阶段表现得淋漓尽致，供改从口号到现实并 不是一路坦途。其中既有政策执行过程中必然的纠结反复，也有市场和行业的反身性演绎。 本文以复盘为先，希望直接阅读结论和启示的读者可以照例直接拉到文末。 一般认为供改的起点是2015年11月，但从黑色系行情来看，直到12月18日细化提出"三去一降一补"后， 黑色系行情才算正式启动。需要注意到，尽管地产需求是供改行情的大背景，但并非直接触发，产业高 度过剩的阶段，需求端并非主导逻辑。在后视镜看来相当重要的棚改货币化政策，早在2015年3月即已 提出，经历了5月PSL的加速落地和6月地产新政的加速，已经全面铺开了大半年。 截至年末，尽管土拍和新开工面积增速都还处于水下，但地产销售 ...
