Nine o’clock in the evening, after work hours have passed, Wangjing’s office building is still brightly lit, Jiang Weiguo leaned on a chair with his hands spread out, with helpless expressions on his face. Do you say what else can I do? “

Zhang Min pushed the paper cup in front of him and said in a soft voice, “Now the big environment is not good, you know the current situation of the company, everyone has difficulties in work, you have not completed the amount of tasks, I There is no way. “

For Zhang Min, Jiang Weiguo, who is about to be fired, is like a fish on the chopping board. He is still in vain, and the person who raised the knife looks like her.

In 2018, Zhang Min and his colleagues had a hard time. Affected by factors such as tariffs and policies, the e-commerce industry was affected overnight. The small e-commerce company served by Zhang Min was struggling. By the end of the year, he had to step up layoffs.

A few days ago, the leader prepared a list of layoffs and sent it to the personnel department.The name was densely packed on it, Zhang Min swiped the mouse twice, and the familiar names flashed on the computer. Fortunately, without yourself. Most of the people called were dignified. At the beginning, Zhang Min also wanted to talk about two work topics to ease the atmosphere. There were more people coming in, and she found that it was unnecessary politeness.

Almost everyone knows the results of entering this room. They opened the door to discuss the compensation agreement, took the list, and immediately turned to leave without saying a word to Zhang Minduo.

Sometimes someone is emotional and constantly pats the table, telling her objective difficulties at work, but it is just trying to find opportunities to stay, or occupying a favorable position in the fight for compensation.

The pull lasted for more than half an hour. No matter how she persuaded, Jiang Weiguo could not accept the reality of being dismissed. In the end, she dropped a sentence to go to labor arbitration, and threw her hands to the door.

Zhang Min froze for a while, rubbed his face, opened the nails, and called the next fired person to come in.

In a day or two, Zhang Min and colleagues sent away nearly a hundred employees, and the office became somewhat empty. She knows the story behind many idle positions. The elder brother in the purchasing department has just got married. The little girl in the operation department was recruited by her personally. The elder brother in the technical department was just laid off by the previous company. To leave again.

But this is another necessary layoff. In order to survive this winter, the company has formulated more stringent performance assessments than before, and those who fail to achieve the target will be taken off the boat first. Once the leader gave orders, Zhang Min had to push his colleagues off the boat.

The e-commerce industry has been booming for several years, with few large-scale waves of dismissals. During that time, colleagues still maintained politeness in the workplace for Zhang Min, but it was often difficult for both parties to hide in the elevator. Others asked her privately what had happened to the company and would not lay off staff again.

But when Zhang Min said that she was just an unaware executive, and didn’t even know if the next arbiter would be herself, she could see a distrust in his face.

After the first personnel turbulence, the leaders held several general meetings, repeatedly emphasizing that there is no problem with the operation of the company. Those who were fired were unqualified in performance. The rest did not have to worry, but also communicated to the human resources department in private Pay more attention to employees’ instructions.

After dismissing the storm, Zhang Min added one more task, recording the earliest employee leaving every day.

This is almost an open secret of the industry, and hr is often asked to observe employee behavior in secret.

People who leave early will be regarded as not working seriously, asking for leave on weekdays, may be to interview a new company. The inspection of employees is penetrated in various aspects. Some HR will regularly check the resumes of employees on the recruitment website. Once an update is found, they will notify the department head to keep abreast of the employees’ movements.

Xie An has also done this “investigation”. At that time, he had just graduated and entered a top Internet company in China to work as an HR. The supervisor explained his attention to the status of employees and reported in time. At the beginning, he thought that this company known for employee benefits would ask employees if they had any difficulties and whether the company would help solve them. It was later discovered that such a scene would only be staged in a fairy tale.

In fact, his task is to let the leader know which employee is about to leave and reserve candidates in advance.

No one wants colleagues to beware of themselves at all times. HR stuck between the boss and the employee usually uses “embarrassment” to describe their work.

After graduating from Li Meng University, he became a financial company. The first job he took over was to stand in front of the stage, tell the company’s history and culture to more than a dozen directors, and convey high-level values ​​and guidance. At that time, she often wrote down the words of her speech, and repeatedly practiced her expression in the mirror, but she was always despised for her junior qualifications.

The long-term upload of the job made her have to be proficient in the art of conversation. When talking about the second company she worked for, Li Meng blurted out, “That company’s recruitment threshold …” Then swallowed again, saying : “Employees in that company have to undergo professional training before they can join the teaching profession. This is also responsible to the students.”

Li Meng mentioned a well-known Internet education company with a large flow of personnel in the education and training industry. At that time, she looked at hundreds of resumes every day and saw dozens of candidates to find suitable candidates for the company. But none of the applicants could impress her. When interviewing, people often show the most appropriate side. Each ability is turned into a score column, which is reviewed by HR one by one.

However, the sentiments of the layoffs made her unforgettable. Most of the newly graduated students will be discouraged because they lost their jobs and write 忐忑 on their faces. A person who has worked in the workplace for several years usually calmly communicates the amount of compensation to her. There are old and young middle-aged people who make her the most difficult to get started. Except for work problems, they don’t say much, but sighed and then sighed after leaving the door.

HR is often seen as an advantage in the process of layoffs. However, in actual work, Li Meng also encountered grumpy people who yelled at her, andIn the previous interview, it was judged that they were two people, and some seemed polite, but secretly set a trap for her.

When she first joined the company, someone who had voluntarily resigned asked her on the nail: “I am a dismissed employee. What procedures do I need to find?” Li Meng had no experience and directly answered his questions. In an instant, the employee took a screenshot of the chat as evidence of dismissal and demanded compensation from the company.

People show up and leave every day, and some of them even recruited a few days ago, and then sat back on the dismissed seats. After more times, the process gradually smoothed the tentacles.

Before the first layoffs, Li Meng had been tangled for a long time. Employees failed for two months in a row. Prior to this, Li Meng talked to him many times and wanted to remind him of upcoming problems, but in the end, he saw that the supervisor had drawn the red line of dismissal on his name. Interview.

The other person seemed more frank than her, calmly accepted the result, and left the company after completing the formalities in less than ten minutes.

After a long time, Li Meng gradually accepted this role, entered the hr industry, and layoffs became the job she must face. Even in many cases, the interests of employees and the company are not in her control.

Xie An remembers that the market environment was good in the past few years, and Internet companies mostly wore halo. Colleagues described to him the school recruiting scene, thousands of college students crowded forward to send resumes. Back at the hotel, hr will pull out a stack of resumes and throw them into the sky. Paper snowflakes are scattered. They only look at the lucky ones who can fall on the bed, and the rest are scanned into the trash.

In just a few years, the ebbs and flows of all walks of life are the same. Today’s layoffs are also chaotic. Maybe whoever “falls in bed” will be hurriedly abandoned.

When he first entered the workplace, Xie An would also feel guilty for cutting off an intern and offered to help him optimize his resume and recommend his next job. At that time, he still had many moments of hesitation in the face of his career. Now that eight years have passed and he is in the midst of resignation, Xie An has no choice but to comfort himself.

When he first joined the company in 2017, the e-commerce industry was still on the upward trend. The company expanded rapidly. Zhang Min was often pulled over by colleagues to help recruit, and rarely faced the situation of layoffs. Unexpectedly, withering came quickly.

Scattered layoffs are continuing, and she sometimes wonders where those colleagues who left have gone, and where she will go. industryIn the cold winter, finding a new job is not easy. There are very few recruitment news in the peer group, but the people who leave seem to want to forget that rough memory and are unwilling to keep in touch with her.

The second large-scale layoffs arrived three months later. This time there was even no clear standard. It was like a battle with no rules. Those on the list must leave.

Redundant tasks are arduous. Before talking, the leader explained that she had to understand the personality characteristics of the employees in advance, and emphasized that “we must do both hard and soft, but soft or hard, come hard.”

She doesn’t need to ask and knows what the hard way is. The pulse of HR forcing people to leave the job never stops. The left is just to set up work obstacles, record late arrivals and early departures, transfer to unsuitable departments, and set the amount of tasks that employees cannot complete …

A lot of colleagues with outstanding performances also got notice of leaving this time. The people called to the meeting room are asking. Why am I?

Zhang guessed that it was probably because their wages were too high. The company is recruiting fresh students at the same time, which is currently the most cost-effective employee in the job market.

But she won’t talk about these things in detail, at this time Zhang Min must do everything possible to let colleagues leave. The leader has said very clearly, “You can’t cut him, you are cut.”

In order to protect the privacy of the parties, Jiang Weiguo, Zhang Min, etc. are pseudonyms.
