This part of the workplace is more optimistic about themselves and the environment.

Choice of "Crossroads"

Faced with the sudden epidemic situation, after the Spring Festival holiday, the words "salary reduction", "layoffs" and "job-hopping" appeared more and more frequently on social platforms, and became a realistic choice that people hovering in the workplace had to face.

The client of Sino-Singapore Jingwei saw on a workplace social platform that a professional who claimed to be a "financial migrant worker" was sighing: "It is too difficult to change jobs this year ..." According to him, he was required to sign a high-priced performance commitment when he joined the company. The boss promised that he would find a way to help with the completion. He had three months to turn it around, but because he had n’t completed the results for half a year, his salary was discounted, and he could n’t help asking “Will it still be consumed?”

Ms. Wang, who works in a public institution in Beijing, said that she has had almost no rest since returning to work. "There are two days of overtime work until 10pm on Monday to Friday, one afternoon on Saturday, and 9pm on Sunday. During the severe epidemic, I took a break for only seven days during the Spring Festival and went to work. I have n’t worked at home since then, and the company has n’t given year-end bonuses, and I have n’t even paid any wages in January. ”

Pictures from the Internet

"The interview passed, but the company closed before going to work."-Recently, this episode on the Internet is very hot. At first glance, there should be a lot of people in the workplace will be tangled. Is it a good time to change jobs?

From the perspective of a human resources professional, an epidemic disrupted the original rhythm and caused all industries to face a major reshuffle. The current situation is not suitable for a job change, but it is also divided according to the situation. If you want to change Work, it's another matter.

The aforementioned report shows that although the willingness of white-collar workers to change jobs this spring has increased, their actions have declined. Over 20% of the surveyed white-collar workers are still in the "wait-and-see period", and this group has expanded by 7 percentage points compared with spring 2019. It can be seen that in the face of uncertainty, the attitude of workplace workers towards job-hopping has also tended to be conservative.

In fact, most people cannot be smart about the reasons for leaving. Under the topic of "Will you change jobs after the epidemic ended?", Some netizens commented: "Now is not a good time to change jobs. It is already the most dangerous time in the global economy for ten years."

Other netizens said, "Some companies always say epidemic situation, pay is reduced when they say, half of the reduction, usually over-performance does not see much money. Can employees not be cold?"

In addition, if an employee who is about to change job is inadvertently known by a colleague, it is another story.

"My friend was abused by my company's colleagues because I was about to move to a competitor company, and the salary was half higher than they are now. They all accused my friend of ingratitude and seeing the money open, and the friend felt very wronged." Someone said on the Internet.

Controversial layoffs

Opening in 2020 under an uncertain economic and social environment, in addition to changing jobs, layoffs have also become the "Sword of Damox" hanging over the heads of the workplace. In fact, since the end of 2019, Internet companies such as NetEase, Xiaomi, and 360 have fallen into controversy due to layoffs.

According to public reports, Xiaomi was accused by employees of alleged "violent layoffs" in early March. Even though Xiaomi officially gave a response that "the contract has expired", it was obviously unable to calm down the public opinion storm. Coincidentally, 360-day layoffs were also reported to be 15% to 20%, but officials subsequently denied the rumor.

The previous report showed that 24.33% of white-collar workers are layoffs. In terms of layoffs, 27.55% of the companies only fired individual employees, and 20% of the companies adopted a small percentage of staff optimization within 5%. Respondents with a layoff rate of “20% or more” accounted for 21.49%.

The 7th issue of 2020, "Seeking Truth", published on April 1, published an article by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security's party group titled "Efforts to Respond to the Epidemic Situation and Stabilize Employment". The article pointed out that due to the epidemic situation, after the Spring Festival this year, the start and resumption of work in enterprises were generally delayed, the return of workers to work was delayed, and the total number of recruited workers declined. The main employment indicators fluctuated, and employment growth slowed. From January to February, 1.08 million new urban employees were employed, a decrease of 660,000 from the same period last year. The level of unemployment increased, and the national urban survey unemployment rate in February was 6.2%, an increase of 0.9 from the previous month. Percentage points.

Looking overseas, the wave of layoffs is sweeping across many countries, and many industries are unavoidable. According to Bloomberg statistics, since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the number of temporary layoffs announced by the US retail industry has exceeded 500,000, and more employees are expected to face the fate of being temporarily laid off or fired. U.S. retail giants Macy's, GAP and Kohl's announced that they will temporarily lay off most store employees.

With the state's proactive employment stabilization policy, local reinstatement and reinstatement guarantees have been accelerated, and the employment situation is improving.

Hubei can be relaxed to all enterprises. In other words, the policy of steady return of unemployment insurance not only lowered the threshold, but also raised the standard.

He said that as of now, 1.46 million companies have enjoyed the unemployment insurance return, and the amount has reached 22.2 billion yuan, benefiting 49.51 million employees in total, and the number of beneficiary companies has exceeded last year.
