Satirical bridge-construction video goes viral on Douyin; workers mockingly call it “letting each other down on both sides”

On October 11, a satirical video set against a bridge-construction background circulated on Douyin. Management claimed that after pay cuts, workers did not dare to speak up, while workers replied, “We never intended to do a good job in the first place — we’re letting each other down on both sides.” Netizens coined the term “问薪无愧” (feeling no guilt when asked about pay) and it became a hot topic of discussion.
