Top exec at Chinese search giant Baidu tells workers ‘I’m not your mom’ — then loses job

A Chinese tech executive reportedly has been fired after igniting a public relations crisis over a series of viral videos revealing her dictatorial management style.

Qu Jing, a vice president at Chinese search giant Baidu, was seen shouting at a colleague struggling with a recent breakup: “I’m not your mother-in-law. I’m not your mom. I only care about your results,” The Wall Street Journal earlier reported.

In other videos — most of them posted on TikTok’s sister platform in China, Douyin — Qu bashed a subordinate for not wanting to work weekends, and dismissed a complaint that her late-night work messages kept up one of her employee’s crying children.

“Why should it be my business that your child was crying?” she said in another highly circulated clip seen by The Journal.

In yet another bizarre video posted to X, Qu — who previously headed public relations for fellow Chinese tech giant Huawei — was seen beating a paper cutout of a person with a white piece of rope.

The stick figure donned the letters “SCMP” below drawings of knives, allegedly representing the China Morning Post — which had posted a piece of negative news about the exec, according to the account that posted the footage, Asia Tech.
