　　Since the release of the "double reduction" policy on July 24, the off-campus training industry is ushering in the drastic changes in the future.

　　"I was still at work the day before, and the situation was calm, but I was forced to resign the next day." said Baozi (pseudonym), who had just resigned from the head of education.

　　Last year, when the development of off-campus training was in full swing, the head of the education branch of Baozi was established in September 2020. "On August 1, we were suddenly called by the director to a meeting and talked about the new policy, telling us to lower the basic salary. Those who reach the mission target will also have to deduct an additional base salary." "We are all taking the initiative, so there is no compensation."

　　“Many people were forced to transfer jobs. Some people left their jobs if they didn’t want to change jobs. The company just didn’t need compensation and saved a lot of money,” Xiaoxue (pseudonym) who works in a center in Gaotu told Chinanews.com. She felt This is a disguised layoff.

　　Some people can't bear to leave by themselves, and some hope to leave after getting compensation, but not everyone gets what they want.

　　“Yesterday, I promised that the compensation plan has N+1, but today I changed my words and there is nothing, which is equivalent to a bare resignation.” Some employees of the local center of Gaotu Group complained on social platforms, and employees and supervisors even broke out in the group. The work group was therefore disbanded.

　　"I have special feelings for Gaotu, and I feel very uncomfortable watching each of my partners feel wronged, cry, and leave unwillingly." Xiaoxue said.

　　However, a resignation HR at the Beijing headquarters of Gaotu Group told Chinanews.com, “I helped with the resignation for a day on Saturday. They are all ordinary tutors and all have N+1.”

　　"There should be N+1 core positions. Sales and tutors who have a large number of them are estimated to be difficult and cannot be afforded. Many of them are outsourced personnel." An executive of a K12 off-campus training company is about the current layoffs So frankly.

　　Behind the Gaotu resignation dispute, "the core motive is to survive." According to media reports, Gaotu Group founder Chen Xiangdong explained "layoffs" in a letter to all employees late on July 30.

　　It is reported that Chen Xiangdong convened a meeting of the management a few days ago and set a target for layoffs, involving tens of thousands of people.

After Gaotu shrinks its school and junior high school business, its business focus will shift to high school and adult vocational education. Gaotu will have 15 regional centers nationwide, leaving only five headquarters in Shanghai, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Taiyuan.

　　On August 4, Chen Xiangdong did not respond to the specific numbers of layoffs when interviewed by the media. He stated that “when the business environment and operating model change, internal adjustments will become inevitable. reduce."

　　In the vortex of the storm, Gaotu's large-scale organizational restructuring is just a microcosm of the industry.

　　A few days ago, the head of education was even rumored to be closed down. Zhang Yi, the founder of head of education, had to refute the rumors in the circle of friends, "increase the investment in quality education, and have to send some business partners away."

　　Once upon a time, driven by capital blessings, the off-campus training industry surged forward.

Nowadays, under the chaos, restructuring, divesting, or completely withdrawing from the market are the choices faced by off-campus training companies.
