Which salary reduction model is used to test the survival wisdom of the company
Editor’s note: This article comes from WeChat public account “Zinc scale “(ID: znkedu) , author: Wei Xu, editor: Chen Deng new .
From this year to the present, in this special period, it is true for companies that their business is affected and reduced.
At this stage, the salary of employees is undoubtedly one of the largest fixed expenditures of an enterprise. Naturally, salary reduction has become one of the most direct ways to reduce enterprise costs.
So, under the tide of salary cuts, life began to perform: the chairman of the village chicken Shu Congxuan tore the joint letter of employees, saying that selling houses and cars also required employees to have food; Squirrel AI employees complained, and In the next five months, the company will be cut unilaterally, and the salary will be deducted by 65% in February. Mingchuang requires all employees to “voluntarily” reduce their salaries. It is recommended that employees with unsaturated workloads suspend their jobs and stay.
What kind of salary reduction model can we use to gain the understanding and support of employees? This tests the wisdom of each company’s survival in a special period.
8% of salary deduction
“We have also been paid lower.” On February 24, Zhao Yan, an IT company in Guangzhou, said so to Zinc.
A few days ago, the young man who found that his peers had been cut in wages vowed to the zinc scale that his salary had not changed in any way, and he was instantly overwhelmed by the bad news. “Although not yet The notice of salary reduction was officially issued, but the red-headed documents have been passed around the company. “
I think of my recent move from an inland city in the southwest to Guangzhou, a larger IT company, just for better development prospects and higher wages. On one side is the high cost of living in coastal cities, and on the other side is the salary that will be paid after the salary is reduced by 8%. Zhao Yan is in a dilemma.
“Our company pays wages on a jumping basis, which means every other month, that is to say, the wages for January are paid in early March. Although January is the normal work day, wages are now being paid. Zhao Yan estimated in advance according to this salary reduction ratio: it should have been a monthly salary of 13,000 yuan, minus a few days of vacation, and then deducted various insurances and taxes, and deducted taxes, and finally deducted 8%. Only around 9,000 yuan.
“Resumption of work has been delayed for so long, and there is no wage during this period. It is estimated that it will be lower in February. What is left of the rent, so now you have to live with your tail.” He said.

Many companies choose to cut their salary for the winter
Zhao Yan’s company’s main business is to provide related software services for the courier industry to assist him in paying salaries to courier. It is well known that during the epidemic, reducing travel is recommended, and the public’s offline demand has to be switched to online. This has caused an outbreak of logistics and distribution needs, and also ushered in a special development period for the express delivery industry.
Before resuming work, Zhao Yan and colleagues more than once rejoiced that the company’s main customers were Meituan and Jingdong. Express companies are still growing. However, for the entire express delivery industry, although the State Post Office announced on February 10 that 13 delivery companies have fully recovered, in fact, problems such as too many backlogs and difficult labor resumption cannot be achieved in a short time. solve.
“At present, about 50% of the courier personnel who resume work.” This naturally has a direct negative impact on the business of Zhao Yan’s company. “Affected by the epidemic, the company’s business was severely damaged in February, and its operating income plummeted. , Less than 10% of the normal level. “
Even though Zhao Yan and his colleagues’ pressure on survival has increased after the salary cut, at this stage, everyone will choose to silently accept the company’s decision to reduce wages. There will be no resignation. On the one hand, there are many client companies that have not resumed work, and the company’s business will definitely improve after the epidemic; on the other hand, when it resumes work in a large area, it has technical and experienced IT It ’s also easier for talents to find another job. “
She was relieved after the pay cut
“The company is in a difficult time right now. This month, it will only pay basic salaries. Business commissions will be paid depending on the situation. I hope everyone can understand and overcome the difficulties with the company.” This day, from February 17th Yang Qi, who started working from home, received a notice from her boss.
Although it is an Internet new media company, the main business of Yang Qi’s department is still undertaking various offline activities from different industries to conduct offline promotion for it. However, since the recent epidemic, the catering and tourism industries that are mainly dependent on offline consumption scenarios, as well as the offline business of mobile phone, education and other industries have been hit hard. Naturally, the related business of Yang Qi has also been greatly affected.
Xu Danei, the new CEO, recently stated publicly that “self-media advertising with a focus on brand promotion has indeed been relatively large. Impact of our own estimates, similar to the original launch in February, there will be a delay or cancellation of more than 30%.
I feel that after the company and the department are facing huge pressures for survival, Yang Qi who has not worked for less than one year, when she receives only the basic salary notice, she is relieved because it means that she has spent it. A layoff crisis, “Now the general environment is bad and no one can change it. It must be shared between employees and the company in order to survive. In fact, it should be happy, salary reduction is better than layoffs. p>
Compared to layoffs, salary cuts do less harm to employees
Yang Qi told Zinc Scale that before the resumption of work, he saw that major industry companies like Xinchao Media could not resist the pressure to start layoffs. At that time, they were worried that the company would not survive and began to lay off employees.
“The newcomers who are not skilled and have uncommon business like ours are likely to be the first batch to be laid off. Moreover, the work I am currently responsible for is relatively simple, even if it is a company Follow-up recruitment is also better to hand over. “She said.
Fortunately, the company did not lay off employees but chose to pay basic wages, but Yang Qi had new troubles.
As the company’s grassroots employees, Yang Qi’s basic salary is not high, only about 3,000 yuan. Under normal circumstances, plus activity business commissions, Yang Qi can get at least 6,000 yuan per month, such a salary level, Can barely support Yang Qi to work hard alone.
Now, after deducting the rent, utilities, etc., the rest of the wages have problems with basic living. If the company still follows this policy, it may be necessary to reach out to the family at that time. “
The company can only survive if you hold the group warm
