htmlOn August 24, a furniture company in Shanghai asked an employee to hand-written his experience every day during maternity leave and took corresponding punishment measures. After this matter was exposed, it quickly ignited public opinion. Afterwards, the company stated that it will reflect and handle it properly. The Shanghai Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau stated that the company's requirements are unreasonable. If the parties' wages are deducted for no reason due to the above reasons, the parties can protect their rights.600 words per hour write a sales experience by hand. It is calculated in 8 hours and requires 4,800 words to be written every day. A fine of 50 yuan for a typo, a fine of 100 yuan for a repeat sentence, and a fine of 500 yuan for missed payment at night. After seeing the company's various perverted and weird requests, many people bluntly said that they were "disgusting". Women who breastfeeding are already very hard and under great pressure. As a company, not only do they not compassionately, but instead try to torture them in different ways. How can they bear it?
Why does the company do this? Some people think it is because of the perverted corporate culture, some people think that the company is deducting employees’ salaries in disguise, and more people speculate that this is actually forcing employees to quit their jobs voluntarily.
No matter what kind of behavior is, it is a naked infringement of the legitimate rights and interests of employees and a contempt for labor law and other regulations. It is obvious that public opinion cannot condemn this bad case that infringes on the rights and interests of workers. The company involved is over and over again. The relevant departments have the responsibility to intervene and conduct further investigations on the matter and the company involved in accordance with the law. Punishment.
was forced to write sales experience after maternity leave. This is by no means accidental, but a microcosm of the current living environment of women in the workplace. In some enterprises, especially small and medium-sized private enterprises, they are unwilling to bear too much labor costs for marriage and childbirth. Female employees who are married and childbirth are often regarded as violent beasts. Not only are they repeatedly turned away when looking for a job, they also face various gender discrimination such as narrow promotion channels and "resignation" after pregnancy.
For example, last year, the media reported that Ms. Liao, who works in Guangzhou, gave birth to a baby in July 2018. In January 2019, without negotiating with her, the company suddenly arranged for her and another colleague who was also breastfeeding to work at a new office. This increased the commuting time of Ms. Liao, which took more than five round trips. Hour.
After the exposure of "I was forced to write sales experience with maternity leave", many people complained on the Internet that they had similar experiences. For example, if the company will arrange some inexplicable work for you, and if you do not agree or do not strictly implement it, you will say that you do not obey management. .
In the end, similar to the situation where breastfeeding employees encounter difficulties, the only one that can be exposed and attract social attention is that a few extreme cases are there, and there are too many invisible difficulties and discrimination behind them that have not been revealed.
Therefore, while paying attention to the case of "maternity leave forced to write sales experience", the entire society, especially the labor supervision department, should pay more attention to the difficulties of women in the workplace, encourage and support women to protect their rights and interests in accordance with the law, and to unscrupulous enterprises. Severe punishment. Especially since the epidemic, we must prevent some companies from placing pressure on female employees to force them to resign.
Discrimination against pregnant women or breastfeeding women is actually a "maternal punishment". Discrimination and disguised punishment of women who become mothers is not only suspected of being illegal, but has also touched the bottom line of a civilized society. We will never tolerate this.
