Look at the yellow map at work


It was a sunny afternoon when I made an appointment with Shen Pengwei, Xu Jiaqi, Yuan Peng and Bian Xuejing.


Their offices were heavily guarded and they had to swipe their cards to get in and out. We walked down a long, curtained corridor to the meeting room at the other end. The meeting room was very bright by the window, where we talked about various topics for nearly two hours.


For the title of yellow authenticator, they did not directly deny, only later to confirm whether the internal call, just told us that netease actually internal real job name is called “information security audit specialist”. Besides pornography, they also deal with gore, violence and terrorism.


People might think that yellow examiners tend to have more male students and better ability to resist pressure, but Shen says it’s actually more female students. Although girls have some disadvantages, their strengths are very obvious — they are very careful and easy to find problems in details. “However, we will try to maintain a balance in recruitment, and we will deliberately recruit some boys because we have already recruited enough girls.”


It is widely rumored that yellow examiners are highly paid and relaxed, and their work is very interesting. No high salaries, they say, and it’s not easy. Just contact this job, indeed because of some small welfare, boys may have a little joy and curiosity. However, girls have a different reaction. Some girls who have just graduated will have a very special reaction: they will be very shy and red at first. It’s cute when you have to deal with a violation — yuck, nervous, close your eyes and click the mouse.


Interestingly, some cleaners are also attracted to benefits, starting from wondering how their team came to work every day to read the yellow map and stare behind them to see what was going on, to become a habit and occasionally enjoy benefits behind them.


“Mom, can you get rid of the night shift?”


However, when exposed to too much harmful information, yellow examiners all have the same reaction: the heart will more or less collapse.


There are two main reasons for the breakdown. One is physical. The first is their working hours, 7×24 hours in three shifts with no time to leave. On night shifts, most people are sleepy by 3 or 4 in the morning. For some people, their second overnight shift is really a matter of perseverance. And when a girl is on her period, it can be even more unbearable. The second is the eyes, because they need to see a lot of things, their eyes must learn ten lines, and this brings more damage to the eyes, need to constantly point eye drops. There is: fat, shift easy to hungry, and often eat midnight snack, it is easy to have a byproduct – inadvertently on the growth of fat.


Is mentally, on the other hand, some people think watch Huang Tu every day will feel very cool, but as a teacher huang said, in fact there are often some hd no abnormal figure than you think, such as incest, degeneration, cruelty, it brings the visual impact is very big, like, psychology is very easy to collapse, let you doubt life, feel the world is so dark… This is a great test of one’s psychological quality.


More importantly, the jet lag caused by three shifts, so that the yellow division can not be as social as normal people. They said they slept while their friends entertained. While their friends sleep, they clean up the Internet in another world. This kind of sacrifice, during festivals, will be particularly intense feeling, everyone except me, this feeling of loneliness will be very intense……


Family and friendship are the biggest challenges they face.


“There was a night shift at 9 p.m.,” Bian told us. “Instead of letting me out, his kids suddenly said, ‘Mom, can you not get a night job?'” Before leaving this scene, let her very sad, subconsciously hug the child tightly, did not let go for a long time.


“Not having regular breaks can also lead to feelings of guilt. You can’t keep an appointment when your friends are looking for you. I feel like I am deliberately distancing myself from my friends. Yuan Peng shares a psychological state of his past.

Collapse, numbness after metamorphosis


Before contact with the yellow division, I thought the pressure would be “destroyed”, and the conversation would be a little depressed. But a little bit more than we expected, the biggest feeling we had when we met them was that they were positive people who knew what this job was all about.
