Recently, Li Yanhong, founder of Baidu, pointed out two bright paths for employees. First, if you want to enjoy life in a free and useless recliner, you'd better pack up and leave. Second, I am willing to put on wolf skin and transform myself. Finally, I can follow him to the IT battlefield. Besides, there seems to be no third way. These two choices come from an open letter he recently published in the company. The CEO, who has a returnee background and is described by the media as elegant in speech, bluntly said that eliminating petty bourgeoisie calls for wolf.
In his eyes, petty bourgeoisie youth? Good background, fluent English and stable income? But what about them? Think that work is only a part of life, and not making progress and pursuing the comfort of personal life is all? ; By contrast, do young wolves have it? A keen sense of smell, indomitable spirit of attack, and group struggle? , can bring the greatest benefits to the company.
Like the news said? Wolf dad? In that case, 44-year-old Li Yanhong earnestly said to his young people:
? You must bear hardships. You haven't suffered, and you can't do anything in the future. ?
So, if you are a young man who just graduated and entered the workplace, there seem to be only two choices in such a corporate culture. Li Yanhong called them petty bourgeoisie and wolves, while others described them more bluntly as sheep or wolves. The logic behind it is that the law that has been popular in the study of career success is either one or the other, and the law of the jungle prevails.
More than ten years ago, a local communication equipment company took the lead in putting forward this spirit of advocating hard work and hard work when facing the crisis of globalization. In the media records, wolf culture? The details are as follows: the employees of that company often work overtime until late at night, and some people simply put a folding camp bed next to the station; ? Born after death first? 、? Self-criticism? Terms like this can be seen everywhere there; Due to the mental stress caused by long-term overtime work, some employees died suddenly or chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
Nevertheless, this culture that can bring quick profits to enterprises is still highly respected in the business world. What is the encyclopedia website? Wolf culture? An entry was established to describe the nature of wolves. Greed? 、? Residual? 、? Wild? 、? Violence? And claimed that in an era of fierce competition, if there is no such feature, it will be smashed and defeated.
But in fact, is there a direct logical relationship between this animality and creativity? To be sure, even if you work in a place with a pool table, swimming pool, massage room and big sofa every day, wear shorts and bring your pet to work, and play the piano when you are tired, you can still create good products.
If employees who don't agree with this corporate culture still have the right to choose to leave, when? Wolf culture? When it has spilled over from commercial civilization to every corner of society, people will not escape so easily.
Chen Jianhua, a professor at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, mentioned his observation in a speech: Since the new century, books and audio-visual products with wolves as cultural symbols have been widely sought after. The wolf, once considered cunning, sinister and cruel, is now worshipped by people. This shift in cultural paradigm surprised him. According to his analysis, this is because people want to arm themselves with the aggression of animals in the competitive environment of the jungle.
This era, which emphasizes racing against time, opponents and ourselves, has accumulated huge wealth in a short time, but it also has negative effects that cannot be ignored. The enterprise organization that should be a community has almost become a zoo in an environment that emphasizes competition. A werewolf? 、? Where's Cheng? What else is there? Code monkey? . The social relationship between people becomes the food chain between animals, and eventually loses itself in the competition of the animal world. This should not be a popular value for young people who have just entered the workplace.
In addition to the road between wolves and sheep, wolves and petty bourgeoisie, there are obviously many criss-crossing paths. A society with diverse values should encourage young people to become better themselves instead of being transformed into the same products. A healthy enterprise organization can find its own position and give play to its own characteristics even if its employees are defined as petty bourgeoisie who are not aggressive and just want to enjoy themselves.
Are you online? Wolf culture? When I admire it most, there is such a story. A business administration professor asked MBA students what should we do in a market economy? Wolf? , or do it? sheep
Most students choose to do it? Wolf? A small number of students choose to do it? Sheep? .
Finally, the professor said cautiously: None of us should choose to do it? Wolf? You shouldn't choose to do it? Sheep? What should we choose, first of all, to be one? People? .
