[Applications #2] DingTalk, symbol of toxic management in China 6 October 2022 We continue our series on the applications that punctuate the life of the Chinese. This episode is all about dingding, or DingTalk, the application hated by Chinese employees. Corporate messaging has become a commonplace with which employees have learned to coexist. Who has never received a message on Slack at 7:30 p.m. on a Thursday evening or woken up with the distinctive noise of their notifications?. In China, there are several business messaging applications, but the best known and undoubtedly "dingding" (DingTalk, according to the official name in English). Created by Alibaba in 2015, it has more than five hundred million individual users and 21 million businesses. The application allows a company to manage messaging, but also emails, diary management as well as a videoconference service. Among its competitors, we find without surprise WeChat for business (Enterprise WeChat) or even Lark (flying book) of Bytedance. This content is for subscribers only.
