- The posted manual forbids hanging up; two calls can merge, and each morning’s paper reports consequences.
Field notes
The posted shift manual makes speed and obedience part of the pressure: callers must be answered, never hung up on, and routed to a town-hall extension when the operator lacks an answer. The site also describes a call log that can be reviewed or highlighted, six named camera locations, and a morning newspaper that reports the fallout; the interface is presented in Simplified Chinese and English.
