100 monthly salary! ——To those years of the year-end bonus that has been constantly breaking through our imagination...
html It’s the end of 0, and Xiao Li, a financial migrant worker, is calculating what impact the new personal income tax bill has on the issuance of year-end bonuses. After unable to help but inquire with the boss, Xiao Li realized that he was thinking too much: the boss told him clearly that there was no year-end bonus this year."100 months' monthly salary!" This is the number of public opinion in the financial industry and the Internet industry, which are responsible for year-end bonus news traffic. However, in this year's capital winter and the Internet winter, how many people can retain such high expectations? What is
, which makes us lose our imagination of year-end bonuses?
has no year-end bonus or complaints
"In the past, we all distributed it on time before the New Year, and then happily went home for the New Year with the year-end bonus. As a result, some time ago, the company suddenly announced that it would postpone the time for issuing the year-end bonus to mid-year. I don't know if it can be distributed in the middle of next year!" Wang Gang (pseudonym), a researcher at a large brokerage firm, told China Securities Journal.
Wang Gang's worries are not redundant.
In the middle of this year, some securities firm employees complained on social platforms that the year-end bonus for 2017 has not been issued, including China Merchants Securities, Zhongtai Securities, Tianfeng Securities , Dongxing Securities , BOCI Securities, etc. Among them, CITIC Construction Investment, which is called "99 Department" (the year-end bonus is higher than 99% of its peers).
However, compared with last year, the dismal market this year has made most people lose the confidence to complain. A person who works in mergers and acquisitions and restructuring business in a small and medium-sized brokerage firm told China Securities Regulatory Commission: "We have not completed any of our projects this year, so what are the year-end bonuses? The company is still trying to cut wages in disguise and force everyone to leave. The business trip fees have not been reported to me last month."
In fact, not only the securities industry, but the year-end bonuses of the entire financial industry have shrunk significantly since 2017. The results of the "2017 White-collar Year-end Prize Survey" launched by Zhilian Recruitment at the beginning of this year showed that the average year-end bonus in the financial industry fell from the first place in 2016 to the fourth place in 2017, and it was only 7,720 yuan.
Also often envied by people "other people's year-end bonuses", and the Internet industry has also shrunk significantly this year. Especially in the game industry, which has entered the winter overnight, the rich year-end bonuses in the past have almost become a bubble this year. Li Chao (pseudonym), an employee of a certain company's game business group, told China Securities Regulatory Commission that the full suspension of game version number distribution this year has greatly affected income, and he has no expectations for this year's year-end bonus.
and those industries that have fallen from the Internet trend, year-end bonuses are also falling, such as the sharing economy. On December 14, Didi CEO O Cheng Wei said that the intensity of employees' year-end bonus this year has been reduced by half compared with last year, and executives collectively do not receive year-end bonuses. Cheng Wei said that the company's performance was not as expected, mainly because it invested heavily in safety and would continue to invest in the future.
has always insisted that Xiaomi is the Lei Jun of the Internet company, which has set an extremely high threshold for the year-end bonus of the camera department. At the Xiaomi MIX 3 new product launch conference on October 25, Lei Jun said that the camera evaluation score was lower than Huawei P20 made him "very unhappy". Whether the camera department has year-end bonuses this year depends on whether they can "turn Huawei over".
The year-end bonus that was once full of imagination
"Poverty limits my imagination."
Many newcomers who have just entered the industry this year may not be able to imagine the broad scene of giving year-end bonuses in the past few years.
According to Wang Gang, "The year-end bonus of securities companies is very differentiated, and there are great differences between different securities companies, different teams, and different members of the team. But it is generally a monthly salary of 10-12 months, and when the market is not good, it only takes 3-5 months or even no. But when the market is good, it can be paid for 20-30 months, and even I dare not even imagine how much it can be paid for."
Wang Gang still remembers the hot market when the year-end bonus was issued in 2016. First, the news that "Huatai Securities issued 103-month year-end bonus" was shocking, and then the news that "CICC Investment Bank issued year-end bonuses, with more than 6 million yuan in a few" made the entire industry even more inflated. "Although we were not very outstanding that year, we also issued it for 30 months. "
The game industry has always been the traffic leader in the Internet industry's year-end bonus news.
On October 11 last year, just after the long holiday, a netizen named "Li Ying" posted a message on the workplace social platform saying: "It's confirmed! Honor of Kings Year-end bonus 100 months' salary. "What's even more heartbreaking is that a netizen named "Tencent Employee" in the comment section replied, "Haha, not all, I'm 120 months."
In the golden age of previous years, "silly people, a lot of money, come quickly" almost became synonymous with the game industry, especially Tencent and NetEase , which are frequently hit. As early as 2014, the Tencent League of Legends team was rumored to be paid a year-end bonus of 68 months of salary; in 2016, there was another rumor that NetEase's Onmyoji project team paid a 60-month salary.
That year, when the news of the 100-month year-end bonus was revealed, Tencent Games' official Weibo denied the rumor: "The rumors are too outrageous. Is it considered a bonus only in October? "And the netizen responded: "We should indeed deny the rumors, because that is the quarterly award! "Li Chao confirmed to Zhongzhengjun that year-end bonuses for dozens of months or even hundreds of months exist, but not everyone is like this.
At the beginning of this year, the steel industry, which has not even been unsuccessful for many years, was a prosperous person. A person from a large listed steel company in the Yangtze River Basin told Zhongzhengjun: "We usually give year-end bonuses after the New Year. On the one hand, the profits of the industry and the company have improved significantly in the past two years. On the other hand, we have introduced the concept of co-creation and sharing, and the total revenue of year-end bonuses increased by 30% last year. "
Among them, the most "rich" one is Fangda Special Steel , with cash red envelopes of 30,000 yuan per person, with a total of about 160 million yuan. The bonus wall made of 100 yuan bills has triggered the Internet. In 2017, Fangda Special Steel achieved a net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies of 2.54 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 281.4%.
"resigned" and there was still Year-end bonus
For many people, what they receive in this winter is not the year-end bonus, but unemployment compensation.
A few days ago, a man who served as the head of a technical department in a private enterprise doing big data and Internet of Things business posted on Shuimu Tsinghua BBS, saying: "The company that has dedicated its entire youth, and this place that has struggled for 13 years, was given 400,000 yuan in compensation in this winter when I was 38 years old, and asked me to leave. "
" When a person reaches middle age, he collapses silently. "This is a true portrayal of many "programmers" at present. Since this year, JD.com has laid off 10%, Douyu Shenzhen team layoffs about 70 people, and Qudian employees have been laid off on business trips one after another. A legal blogger also launched a rights protection strategy for Internet people who were "resigned", especially: Can you get the year-end bonus when you are dismissed?
However, it is still a long and difficult time to get the year-end bonus after leaving.
In October last year, Ms. Zhang, an employee of Guorong Securities, learned that her father was critically ill, returned to her hometown to visit her and complete the emergency leave procedures. Afterwards, Ms. Zhang told her leader that her relatives died. It is necessary to take a month's leave, and the leave process is reissued. As a result, after returning to Beijing to work in November, Guorong Securities delivered a notice to Ms. Zhang to remove the labor contract.
For this reason, Ms. Zhang did not recognize the facts determined by the company and the reasons for termination of the contract. After applying for arbitration, she went to court with Guorong Securities. Recently, the lawsuit has made new progress. The court upheld the original judgment that Guorong Securities paid Zhang Na's compensation of 32,410 yuan, and rejected Zhang Na's claim that Guorong Securities paid her 60,000 yuan year-end bonus.
Many people who were "resigned" this winter may not be whether they can get the year-end bonus of their old boss, but whether they can find a new boss.
Zhilian Recruitment released a report showing that the number of recruitment demand in the third quarter of 2018 decreased by 20.79% month-on-month, and the number of recruitment demand decreased year-on-year for the first time, with a decrease of as much as 27%. The decline in the three industries of the Internet, finance and real estate was the most obvious, especially the Internet industry. The number of jobs recruited in the third quarter decreased by 51% year-on-year, far higher than the national average.
I am lucky enough to find my next home and I have no luxury for this year's year-end bonus. Zhang Ming (pseudonym), who works in bond underwriting at a small and medium-sized brokerage firm, eventually resigned voluntarily under the leadership's repeated hints and jumped to another small and medium-sized brokerage firm in November this year. In his old boss, he has only heard of the "30-month year-end bonus" and has never seen him. He has just come to his new boss and is even more unlikely to have a year-end bonus this year.
Finally, for male compatriots who are likely to get a year-end bonus this year, I will give you a guide to spending the year-end bonus:
