Shenzhen Dasai Yibai Network recently announced the adjustment of working hours: starting from January 1, 2022, it will pilot the weekend double-break arrangement in the next period of time, go to work at 9 am on weekdays, get off work at 6:30 pm, and have a 1.5-hour break in between.
Notice shows that Yibai Network's double-break system is tentatively scheduled to be trialed for six months, and will be determined later based on the company's business situation.
For cross-border e-commerce people, such a "volume" is good news.
However, competition is fierce and growth is weak. The profit of is spreading thinner and thinner. The continuous inclination intensified, causing sellers' hairline to keep retreating and they start to overeat, have a bad temper, insomnia, etc.
especially with the tedious work, frequent social engagements, and the accumulated pressure that comes with the end of the year, life before the New Year may be even more panicked, and the ubiquitous anxiety doubles. Many people begin to feel confused, either career, love, or beginning to consider whether they should stick to themselves who are in a bottleneck period...
Prospect anxiety:
continues to lose money, whether to stick to
"It has been in circulation for a year, and placing orders is like doing charity. I don't know how long I can last..." This is probably the most common voice of Amazon sellers this year.
In the first half of the year, the entire industry was in a state of grief, and countless accounts of large and small sellers were blocked by Amazon, and some companies were withdrawn from financing and went bankrupt on the spot. Some of my small-sized peers have earned money in the warehouse in recent years, and the links have been removed from the shelves, and I feel as if I am dead...
fuse is "brushing orders". Amazon used to turn a blind eye, but this year it was serious. From accounts with listed companies with revenue of over 10 billion yuan to small sales accounts with revenue of only hundreds of thousands, all of them were banned.
In the second half of the year, it was even more inclined, with price wars, vicious competition, logistics and supply chain costs rising sharply, and the impact of Amazon's new policies this year, new sellers entered the market have various low-price spirals, old sellers have opened 15% coupons and Prime discounts to participate in the flash sale, the conversion rate is getting lower and lower day by day, ACOS is getting higher and higher day by day, and many sellers' profits have begun to shrink significantly, and they can even clear their inventory at a loss...
Some sellers admitted that they have been in the industry for almost two years. The era when they could make money while lying down is gone forever, leaving only the most anxious Amazon circle people this year.
Single anxiety:
No rest throughout the year, why do you make friends
Hugo bacteria I saw an Amazon meme:
5 years ago, Zhao Liying When I got married, I was single, Zhao Liying divorced, and I was still single.
You may not believe in love, but please believe in Amazon. It is difficult to get married when you enter the wrong career.
For most people in the circle, Amazon is a very lonely job. The entire work model does not require communication with others. Therefore, more and more people are doing cross-border e-commerce, but it is still difficult to meet new friends outside the company. In addition, the unbalanced ratio of men and women in the industry, the proportion of single men is also increasing year by year.
Take the cross-border e-commerce "base camp" Shenzhen as an example. In May this year, Shenzhen City carried out the seventh national census of , among which the five districts with a large population growth are: Longgang District , Bao'an District , Longhua District , Nanshan District , and Guangming District , respectively, with an increase of 2094616 people, 1837637 people, 1149412 people, 707481 people, and 614382 people respectively.
data shows that among the permanent population in Shenzhen, the male population is 9665243, accounting for 55.04%; the female population is 7894818, accounting for 44.96%.The total population gender ratio (100 for women, male to female ratio) rose from 118.23 in the sixth national census to 122.43.
Among them, the population gender ratio in Guangming District is 141.25, and the ratio of men and women is the most unbalanced in the city. It is worth mentioning that Guangming District is also one of the districts with the largest number of cross-border e-commerce industries in Shenzhen.
It is reported that Shenzhen is gathered in the country with the largest number of cross-border e-commerce companies, and the system is somewhat different by region. Nanshan has more cross-border e-commerce work, followed by Futian , Longhua and Longgang , and Bao'an District has fewer double-breaks, basically all of which are large and small weekly and 5.5-day working systems, and there are also some companies that have single-breaks.
According to a survey by nearly 2,000 people of Hugo mushroom, among the users participating in the survey, 57% of those who implemented the weekly system in the big and small system accounted for 6%, the single-time system accounted for 10%, and the annual unrest system accounted for 4%, while the double-time system accounted for only 23%.
Working for a long time and having few holidays. The groups engaged in cross-border e-commerce are becoming increasingly disliked to go out or socialize, and do not even have time to make friends. How to solve single anxiety?
A seller said that his circle is small. In addition to facing the computer, he only deals with couriers and freight forwarders, or factories running business or small bosses. This is also the reason why many Amazons have a very high single rate.
Work anxiety:
Layoffs occur frequently, and I dare not quit
Every year, the country will usher in a flow wave of "escape from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen".
Take Shenzhen as an example. As the first echelon of cross-border e-commerce, this year it has indeed attracted many young people to leave their hometowns to challenge themselves, and the development of the industry has provided them with a large number of employment opportunities.
However, this year's account closure, layoffs, bankruptcies, suspensions and wage retention cases have frequently occurred, and many operations cannot withstand the pressure of life and have changed careers.
However, Amazon operators in some departments said that although they wanted to leave, they did not leave in the end.
An operator admitted, "I haven't found a good next home, and I dare not leave. I have a income when I stay in the company. Blindly quitting naked will only make me more anxious."
Indeed, the overall environment change under the adjustment of Amazon's platform policy this year has broken the fantasies of many people. With the most basic salary, the original commission and bonus are gone, it seems that the pressure is not great, and the income is not much. This life of boiling frogs in warm water in has numbed some cross-border people.
Of course, the original intention of this article is not to review industry anxiety and put yourself in another kind of anxiety. Instead, I hope everyone is facing the anxiety in front of me. Hugo Mushroom has also asked several industry insiders how to face their anxiety. There are different ways, but one thing is common: don’t stop doing things and making progress (not necessarily work, but it can also be other new skills).
Anxiety often comes from lack of confidence, so let’s make yourself stronger in the process of doing things!
Although life is short, the future is long. What are your ways to face anxiety? Welcome to leave a message at the bottom to communicate.
