Being a Community Manager or CM is a much more complex job than it seems from the outside. And if you’re the CM of the Xiaomi community in China, it must be crazy, because you Responsible for one of the largest user communities in the country and in the world of electronic devices.
Co-founded in 2010 by electronics engineers and entrepreneurs Lei Jun and Lin Bin, Jun has served as the firm’s CEO since its founding. He’s also Xiaomi’s most recognizable figure, whom we always tend to see at the company’s events. In other words: Lei Jun is the boss, just like Elon Musk is at Tesla or Steve Jobs is at Apple. ¿What if you accidentally delete the account of the community leader of his company?
Delete Lei Jun’s account due to Xiaomi community error
Lei Jun is one of those CEOs who is very involved in the user community of his products and is not your typical CEO who only attends shareholder and partner meetings. Therefore, its presence in the Xiaomi Community is full and quite active. And right in the middle of this week, Mr. Jun suddenly came to work one morning and noticed this: His account in the Chinese Xiaomi Community was deleted.
What happened? Apparently the community manager accidentally deleted his boss’s account. Xiaomi performed a routine task to delete illegal accounts in its community. And coincidentally, Lei Jun’s account was among them.
I was so scared that I deleted it
The CM said in a post on social network Weibo last Wednesday. “I was very scared when I discovered it at 11.44am. I deleted Mr. Lei’s account by mistake I was recently cleaning up a bunch of historical illegal accounts because…”
As for what happened to both Lei Jun’s account and the Community Manager, things turned out well according to the CM’s claim”I immediately investigated the reason and [la cuenta del CEO de Xiaomi] It was restored after 12 hours (work is still ongoing for now)”. A happy ending to an anecdote that undoubtedly made the CM of the Xiaomi community tremble.
