As the old saying goes, "It's important for people to know themselves!" Only when a person recognizes himself and finds his own position in life can he be invincible in this society!
A person's success is inseparable from the bonus given by the times. The same goes for companies! The reason why many companies have become star companies is nothing more than seizing the opportunities given by the times.
The truth is very simple. The real estate industry in the past twenty years was the most envied industry. At that time, the real estate industry was on the rise, and people in the entire real estate industry chain were making a lot of money.
Ten years ago, the Internet industry became a hot topic again! Countless outstanding young people fought hard to enter the Internet industry.
But as the saying goes, no industry can always be at the top. In the past few years, both the real estate industry and the Internet industry have actually entered a cold winter period!
I won’t go into details about the layoffs in the Internet industry before. Today, there is news about layoffs in Xiaomi . This is still worth talking about!
Media broke the news that Xiaomi has recently launched large-scale year-end layoffs, involving multiple departments. The layoff ratio of some departments in China is as high as 75%.
In addition, in addition to Xiaomi's regular employees, this round of layoffs also includes a large number of fresh graduates. Some fresh graduates said they were laid off by Xiaomi during their probationary period.
If the company does not meet the conditions for layoffs, or the company is unwilling to go through the layoff procedures, and talks to employees about optimization, persuasion, etc., these are all cases of negotiated termination of the labor contract.
It is said that the compensation for Xiaomi’s layoffs this time is still very good, and most employees can receive N+2 compensation. So the question is, why did Xiaomi announce a layoff plan near the end of the year?
In Mr. Chun’s view, the reason why Xiaomi announced layoffs at this time is actually related to Xiaomi’s overall performance this year.
1. The end of the year is usually the peak time for consumers to change their phones, but this year the smartphone industry can be said to be extremely bleak.
2. Judging from Xiaomi’s previously released financial report, Xiaomi mobile phone ’s third quarter revenue was 70.4 billion, but its net profit fell 60% year-on-year, and the company’s cash flow was tight.
Although the smartphone industry no longer has much innovation capability, there are still many players in the industry. Xiaomi needs to save money to continue to compete with its friends in 2023.
3. For any company, layoffs are a normal operation. Not only are companies laying off workers, they are also hiring.
As of March 31, 2022, the total number of Xiaomi employees is 33,793;
As of September 30, 2022, the total number of Xiaomi employees is 35,314.
The above two sets of data fully illustrate a problem. Even under the cold winter of the Internet in recent years, the number of Xiaomi employees has not decreased compared with the past, but has increased slightly!
Mr. Chun is concerned about how Xiaomi will compete with its friends in the future. You know, the competition in the domestic smartphone industry is still very fierce. In addition, Xiaomi has previously bet on Xiaomi cars, so for Xiaomi's management headed by Lei Jun, Xiaomi still has many tough battles to fight in the future!
According to incomplete statistics, the cumulative proportion of layoffs among major Internet companies in the past year has been as high as 30%, and the proportion of real estate companies is even higher. As for education and training, some companies have laid off as much as 70%, which can be called an epic level!
In fact, company layoffs are not scary. What is scary is why you are the one being laid off. This is the problem we need to pay attention to and solve. I don’t know what you think?
