Stalking junior employees is seriously fucked:

In October 2023, Emma received a labor arbitration claim from Pinduoduo, requesting her to pay 280,000 yuan as compensation. The evidence Pinduoduo presented to the arbitrator was a series of secretly filmed videos of Emma leaving her residence and entering her new workplace.

It was only when she saw the videos that Emma realized she had been followed to and from her new job for weeks by a portly, middle-aged man, discretely recording her from a distance, whose reflection was clearly visible in some footage. In the following days, Emma said, she had nightmares of being stalked. "I am so scared," she wrote on the social media site Weibo. "I don't know if I am being stalked again. I keep looking behind me whenever I walk down the street now."
