Some time ago, the market value of $186.7 billion,
the world's largest enterprise software company Oracle,
because of layoffs and stood on the tip of the storm.
By definition,
an internal layoff within a company shouldn't be such a big deal, ?
But a layoff is 900 people,
and they are all elites from major universities,
it is not very sad.
The vast majority of those laid off in China's research and development area
were engineers around the age of 37,
who had graduated from prestigious universities and earned hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a year.
But now they've been laid off, and they're still working on their own.
But today, they are left holding banners,
shouting slogans in the streets:
"We want jobs!"
"Children want to go to school!"
"Why did you do this to us!"
It may seem to you that
this is a war against Chinese employees.
But if you really know the company you know that
the layoffs were precisely what they were blamed for,
Caijing magazine once said:
"The business that Oracle's China R&D centers are assigned to is usually more peripheral, and is not core business."
Maybe you don't understand this statement,
but after hearing two things, you understand:
First thing: live comfortably.
Oracle's China R&D Center,
has been called "the biggest retirement home in Beijing."
The 1,600-strong China R&D Center
has a reputation for easy work.
They are busy for one or two months a year at most,
their main task is to change bugs,
they don't have to punch a clock, they have free working hours,
and they can even apply to work from home.
Oracle's treatment is high and benefits are good,
16 days of annual leave on entry,
and with the number of years of work and increase,
there are two days of paid sick leave per month, the full reimbursement of the doctor,
and even the children of the employees to see the doctor can be reimbursed for half of the cost.
According to Oracle, the company's main task is to change the bugs!
According to a former Oracle employee,
as long as every year here,
weekly work at home time can be increased by one day,
that is to say, if the full five years,
then five working days a week do not have to go to the company to work,
and some employees, and even a year to see the few times.
Even if they are laid off, they take N+6 compensation,
which can be as little as a few hundred thousand dollars or as much as a million.
The second thing: lack of competence.
After hundreds of Oracle China R&D Center employees were laid off,
Internet giants including Ali, Baidu, Tencent, Huawei,
have thrown an olive branch for them.
They set up special recruitment columns in the park,
and organized large-scale special recruitment.
However, the performance of Oracle employees was shocking,
with most failing the first round of interviews,
and some, even after the interviews, being brushed off in the technical tests
.
But you have to know,
Oracle's recruitment threshold for R&D staff is quite high:
"You have to have done your undergraduate studies at Tsinghua, Peking University, Shanghai Jiaotong, Fudan and Beipiao,
these five schools before you are eligible to get in,
and at the same time, you have to have a master's degree."
But it is precisely these graduates of prestigious schools that
have shown a lack of ability.
Through these two events, we seem to understand one truth:
Even if you were once a frog with great fighting strength,
you will die slowly after being boiled in warm water for a long time.
The times have abandoned you and will not even say hello.
The Zeng Guang Xian Wen says:
"Learning is like rowing a boat against the current."
Jin Yi understands the truth of this.
Some time ago, Jingdong clearly want to eliminate three types of employees:
First: those who can not fight, no matter how good or bad the performance,
the position is high or low, and no matter whether it is a veteran employee or a managerial trainee,
no matter whether it is a physical reason or a family reason,
where you can not fight or can not fight.
Second: those who can't do it, that is, those who have poor performance.
Third: people who are not cost-effective, some take a pay cut.
Some people say that this is the beginning of the downhill slide of the Jingdong,
Some people say that the Jingdong is not enough "brothers",
But in the view of Jin Yi:
When people reach middle age, if they don't excel, they will be out of the game, which is inevitable.
Last year, Tangshan withdrew all the road and bridge toll booths,
the incumbent toll collectors will be compensated in accordance with the provisions of the labor law.
As a result, it drew a collective protest from the toll collectors.
In the video interview, the laid-off employees justifiably declared:
"It cost money to get this job in at the time,
and now that they don't want us, it's very hard for us to find a job.
I spent my youth in the tollbooth,
I'm 36 now and I can't learn anything.
Going out to learn things is also slower than people in their 20s,
and nothing is convenient anymore,
so all don't like working people like us,
our advantages are put in the tollbooths, and I only know how to charge.
If you are in a restaurant serving plates and bowls, at least you will report the name of the dish,
now nothing."
It sounds like it makes sense,
but in reality it's simply ludicrous.
More often than not, we are often in our own closed circle of comfort,
enjoying a comfortable and cozy life,
but you have to know that the society is progressing, the information in the rapid,
when we look back,
only to find that they have been abandoned by the times.
In today's era, if you live in seclusion for three years,
a complete isolation from the world, and when you return to the world,
you will feel as if a century has passed.
Everything is changing so fast,
so fast that many people's perceptions are still stuck in the previous era,
so fast that many people haven't had a chance to react,
and have already been knocked down to the ground.
Jin a New Year's home, often have relatives said to me:
"still outside drifting it ah!
Hurry up and go home, get a job in the system,
9 to 5, good treatment is not tired, how good!
Whenever people tell me this, I tell them:
"I don't want to be in my twenties and thirties,
but I want to be in my fifties and sixties."
Maybe many people don't understand what an institutional job is.
Tell a thing to know.
Previously, the sanitation bureau in Harbin, Northeast China, recruited sanitation workers,
five insurance and one gold, a monthly salary of 2,000,
which the most conspicuous words are: "the system, there is a guarantee."
As a result, after the end of the recruitment, there are thousands of people scrambling to get into the job,
of which there are more than 200 people with a full bachelor's degree,
and even master's degree graduates.
This is the charm of the "system".
Some people will say, "You're just looking down on sanitation workers!"
You should know that there is no such thing as a lowly occupation in Jane I.
I have always believed:
"Different occupations make different contributions to society."
When you choose to receive a high level of education,
shouldn't you contribute to this society accordingly?
On the contrary, another thing,
Alibaba had a 400,000 annual salary to recruit senior experience teacher,
look at their requirements:
"60 years old or older, square dance kol (opinion leader) priority."
At the time, many people were surprised to see this job ad,
thinking, "What makes an old man over 100 years old worth so much money."
But surprisingly,
Ali a **** received more than 3,000 resumes,
finally applied for the success of:
83-year-old Tsinghua school grandma,
62-year-old writers moncler,
62-year-old IT moncler ......<
Among them, the 83-year-old Tsinghua-schooled grandmother is the KOL of a dozen square dance groups,
often organizing some offline activities.
The 62-year-old IT moncler also brought a PowerPoint he made to introduce himself:
"12 years of Taobao buyer experience, Sesame Credit 785 points,
Skilled operation of Photoshop design software ...... "
On the one hand, a 20-something-year-old master's degree should be employed as a sanitation worker "pension",
On the other hand, an 83-year-old grandmother from Tsinghua University should be employed at Ali "struggle",
The gap between them is exactly
The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of it.
This makes Jin Yi thought of a sentence:
Some people have died in their twenties,
only to be buried in their seventies and eighties.
Liu Cixin wrote in his novel Three Bodies:
"I'm going to destroy you, what's it to you?"
It can be seen that in today's era,
Stability, is no longer in line with the mainstream thinking of this era,
Few jobs can be done all the time,
Few companies are always there,
Which is what is a permanent iron rice bowl,
The real iron rice bowl is only a one,
that is
There is only one real iron rice bowl,
and that is: ability.
When you master a skill more than others,
you may have one more chance to choose;
When you read a book more than others,
you may understand a reason more.
The world is never short of people who sit on their hands,
but short of creators, practitioners and operators.
The road you traveled, the people you met,
the books you read, the things you learned,
will eventually come back to you.
Someone once asked:
"What's the best way to ruin a person?"
One of the answers impressed Jin Yi:
"It's to let him work well and then give him enough comfort."
The world is like that,
some people are always running around the clock,
while others,
get up and realize that the world has changed.
