Although nothing is easy in the adult world, the news of a life-threatening animal that has been working over 4,000 hours over five years and was laid off after being seriously ill is still scary.
A staff member who did game planning at NetEase broke the news two days ago, saying that he was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy at the hospital early this year. It is said that the disease is difficult to cure, can only survive with the disease, and its family is flat, it can be said that it has reached the dark moment of life. However, at this time, he not only did not feel the care of the company, but was almost violently dismissed and “caught out of the company by security guards.”
NetEase responded quickly: Although compensation was given and wages were not deducted, it was acknowledged that in the process of communication and handling of the matter, the relevant personnel did have a lot of wrongdoing such as simple and rude, unfriendly, etc. Apologies-sorry, we did something wrong.
Later, Netease released an internal note to sort out the timeline of the incident, stating that the matter has been processed for up to eight months, involving employees, their parents, employee supervisors, HR, labor arbitration and other parties. , Mixed with misunderstandings, compromises and good intentions.
At present, the parties have filed a labor arbitration requesting NetEase to pay more than 610,000 yuan in compensation. The case will open on December 11.
I 996, you put me 886
Redundancy is a necessary survival strategy for companies in market competition. However, layoffs cannot be arbitrary and have laws.
The Labor Law stipulates that employers really need to lay off employees, one is to explain in advance, and the other is to prepare economic compensation. The compensation shall be determined according to the N+1 calculation method, that is, the laborer shall, within the working life of the unit, issue an economic compensation equivalent to one month’s salary for each full year, up to a maximum of twelve months. This is also the practice of NetEase.
However, there are some cases that cannot be easily ruled out, such as those suffering from occupational diseases or injuries due to work and having been confirmed to have lost or partially lost their ability to work, such as being sick or injured within a prescribed medical period. The medical period refers to the time limit for the employees of the enterprise to stop working and rest due to illness or non-work-related injuries.
Although the “Classification and Catalog of Occupational Diseases” was searched, dilated cardiomyopathy was not included, but according to the relevant medical period, the “exempt period” that the employee can enjoy is about three to six months.
At this point, the employee was laid off, and a more detailed assessment of legal identification was required. Uncle Island is not a legal professional. If the information is incomplete, he will not say much. However, from a sense of reason and a perspective of corporate responsibility, Netease’s downsizing of seriously ill employees this time is indeed unsatisfactory, which is unpopular, as can be seen from the voice of crusade on the Internet.
According to the understanding of public opinion, people got kicked off after getting serious illness in 996 years.
On November 23, a former NetEase employee filed a WeChat complaint about NetEase’s violent layoffs
Responsibility of the company
For employees, although it is not necessarily required to make the company a home, the enterprise should have the position and responsibility to maintain and care for employees. This responsibility is to live up to the stakeholders. Employees are undoubtedly important stakeholders.
Chinese companies, especially Internet companies, have developed rapidly over the years, but the ability of some companies to take responsibility has not been built up and improved.
Of course, companies should improve their ability to create value, but secondly, they must improve their ability to take responsibility in order to bring together stakeholders. In other words, we must benefit from the development results. The two complement each other. If one can’t do it, the company will not do much, or it will be done soon.
Looking back over the past 30 years, the top priority of Chinese companies is survival, development, and growth, and employees’ demands have mostly remained at low levels of satisfaction. In fact, today, the ability to pay wages on time is still a problem that some localities and some industries have to solve quickly.
This is indeed a contradiction in rapid development. In the process of initial accumulation, Wanma rushed, and the big waves washed sand. Enterprises must develop rapidly, tightening the waistband of the pants is a necessary stage, and it is good to say that it is internal tapping, and it is not good to say that it will be a smash. From the employee’s point of view, there has been no high expectations in the past. But with the development of enterprises to a relatively high stage and a period of relatively mature market competition, after the growth of white-collar and middle-income groups in big cities, everyone is paying more and more attention to rules and rights, more and more to dignity and rest , Self-realization, and higher levels of value.
At this time, companies should see these structural changes, increase contact, and care. Uncle Island interviewed a home industry entrepreneur a few years ago. He said that a farmer’s son has been in our company for more than ten years. He is already a qualified industrial worker. He wants to live better. He requires air-conditioned dormitory and wifi. These are what we can and should bear. .
The country has become rich and strong, society has improved, enterprises have developed, and workers’ living conditions should be improved accordingly.
