This article comes from the public number: caoz ’s dream (ID: caozsay) , author: caozsay, title figure from: vision China

In my old article, I mentioned that young people should not be glass-minded in the workplace, and they must endure thrashing, but also mentioned that as managers, they should learn to respect young people and give them enough opportunities for trial and error.

Of course, my old article also mentioned fault tolerance, and young people should also allow managers to be not professional and friendly enough.

When learning English recently, because it involves some workplace content, this kind of course content is very correct. The so-called correct meaning is how managers should respect the emotions of young people and how to encourage young people. Achievements and progress, and the use of euphemism to express criticism and suggestions.

But unfortunately, I especially want to say that the reality is getting more and more incorrect.

Many film and television works, all kinds of overbearing presidents admonish their subordinates, in fact, the workplace is not so exaggerated, many Internet companies, the relationship between the superiors and subordinates are still relatively easy-going, and many startups, thirsty for talent, some entrepreneurial The boss is always serving the key employees as his master.

For quite a long time in the past two decades, the humanization of Internet companies is really not a slogan.

But we still have to make up the logic.

What logic, I ’m sorry, but also to say that some people may not like to listen. Talent is a resource. In fact, it is a resource like the company ’s assets, the company ’s intellectual property, and the company ’s brand. The so-called human resources , The term is very clear. Since it is a resource, there are trading and valuation. No matter how good and rare you feel, in the human resources market, you will have your own price. This price is the salary that the recruiting unit is willing to give you.

Then the issue that I have been emphasizing last year, although I was scolded by many people, but many people who scolded me did not go to the logic, what is the status of the human resources market, so many new students are coming in every year, and the employer ’s manpower Is the resource demand really increasing at the same time? I have talked about the market conditions I am familiar with before. At the beginning of 2018, several giants were still expanding their armaments.

From 2015 to 2018, we can see that including the blockchain field, Internet finance field, sharing economy field, AI field, a lot of investment, a lot of jobs, a lot of capital flow, and there is electricity Commercial War, Hundred Regiments War, Taxi War, etc. Therefore, in those years, driven by capital and market increments, talents have risen. Although a large number of newcomers have entered the market, there is still enough room for digestion, including new giants such as byte beating and Pinduoduo.In order to challenge the old giants, they are still striving to raise the salary level of high-end talents in the industry.

But in 2019, all of a sudden, there is a truce. You think about it carefully and feel it. Not only did the truce cease, many areas suddenly became cold, and the hot money in the capital circle also disappeared. Even gold masters like Sun Zhengyi began to tremble. So this year, I do n’t need to say more, add a more word, but not too much.

Long word for a long time, is to repeat a fact, a fact that is more cruel this year than last year, The human resources market, at least for the middle and lower classes of human resources, is already a buyer’s market.

So, for companies, when faced with newcomers and basic employees in the workplace, cultivate talents, appease talents, and carefully take care of employees’ emotions and acceptance. The so-called humanized management has become extremely inefficient and very Sorry, this is very incorrect, but logically it is.

What is more efficient, straight criticisms and lessons, and a brutal rate of talent elimination. Don’t want to do it? Behind a bunch of job applicants are queuing. In the human resources buyer market, screening talent is more efficient than cultivating talent.

Last year I chatted with some entrepreneurs, and I heard that some giants who laid off because of a truce in a certain field have half-pay jobs in the human resources market. This year, I haven’t returned to China to communicate with my peers, but I think such things should not be less.

Of course, excellent talents are still scarce. Excellent talents will still receive various courtesies from enterprises, but the threshold for excellence is getting higher and higher, which is also mentioned in the old article.

This year, young people in the workplace may encounter more brutal facts, such as salary cuts, layoffs, or criticism from the public, regardless of your willingness to accept. Moderate managers may be fewer and fewer, and things that take care of your emotions and opinions may be less and less.

Well, there is one more point, I have n’t dared to say it publicly. In fact, since last year, I secretly said in some groups, You have to understand that the government ’s goal is the employment rate . After my article last year, some people left a message saying, do you understand labor laws, many People like this sentence, well, this is what we often say is correct. But in reality, Ren Zhengfei said that we never encourage overtime, and employees are voluntary. You try what happens if you do n’t voluntarily, it does n’t conform to the corporate values, and you can eliminate it directly at the bottom of performance.

This year ’s employment rate is under more pressure, explaining too many discords, but I hope you understand what it means to guarantee employment rate priority. <
