As a Huawei employee, at the beginning, like most science and engineering students, we just laughed off such gossip because we were more willing to believe what we saw with our own eyes. I think the reason why this incident was written in various versions may be related to Huawei's low-key style.
Looking at the great enterprises in the world today, almost all enterprises will have their own corporate culture and corporate image, and most of them are active, free and active propaganda. In this regard, Huawei does not have much self-promotion, and most of them rely on "spreading false information".
First, layoffs or the last elimination?
The original text of the article has been circulated among colleagues in the company as early as the incident, but it has not caused much repercussions within the company, because the last elimination has always existed in Huawei. The company will also adjust this ratio according to the annual financial situation, that is to say, when the company's benefits are good, it may not even have this ratio.
And it has been hyped as layoffs. Maybe everyone thinks that layoffs and final elimination are not all resignations? If you have to say this, then many foreign companies, Fortune 500 companies and large-scale layoffs are staged almost every year. There may be no reason, just because of your skin color and your department. Therefore, I think it is necessary to treat layoffs and the last elimination differently.
As we all know, the communication industry has been a bottleneck in recent years, and the profits of the whole industry are declining, so is Huawei. Although the market share is increasing, the overall profit is declining. In this case, the final elimination ratio of the company is only adjusted to normal 10%.
Many people will say, how can Huawei's mobile phones sell so well, and Huawei has so many products? Yes, Huawei has now become a giant in the field of communication, but because of its huge size, a small stone or a grass may trip you.
Therefore, this kind of self-reflection within Huawei has always existed, including the elimination of the last place, the adjustment of organizational structure, and even the adjustment of product structure.
Second, why 34 years old?
What is the age of 34? In the family, there are old people at the top and young people at the bottom. Parents need support, children need training, and families need greater financial support. Physically, I may have lost my youthful vitality when I just graduated, and I have a big belly. I am exhausted from my daily work and have no time to exercise. At work, ten years of work experience can be used to cope with daily work, even emergencies, and there is no keen sense of smell for the industry.
At this age, most people have entered the comfort zone. Just like the man in this incident, he bought two suites in Shenzhen, one of which was a school district. His wife can take care of the family full time, she can devote herself to her work, and her monthly salary can support the whole family. Not many people can do this in first-tier cities.
Especially we are deeply influenced by our parents. After working for ten years, I can be regarded as a small leader or an expert. New young people always have to hone their skills to reach our level. However, at the age of 34, the company hopes that you have the courage of young people and the mind of middle-aged people.
34 years old, such a tepid age, seems to be a watershed for people, so there are always some people isolated on the other side of this watershed. However, Huawei divided this watershed in the form of the last elimination, such a fierce way. However, we should also see that this watershed is everywhere, and salary reduction, suspension and demotion also exist in other companies.
Third, how to deal with the final elimination?
As soon as this incident came out, many big V's made moves to warn the world.
On the one hand, this guy should start financial management in advance, so that he can't afford to buy a house after losing his job. First of all, I want to say that Huawei's working hours are really long and the pressure is really great. Sometimes this kind of long-term work is not squeezed by the company, but this group of people really love this industry. They really devote themselves to this cause, even to a state of numbness, no hobbies, no life planning. They are convinced that work will give them the best return.
Personally, I think this down-to-earth spirit is particularly valuable in this increasingly confident era. Everyone goes to P2P and the stock market. Who will develop our manufacturing industry and how will our society progress?
Second, IT industry, and even spread to other industries, is too hard. Come on, do WeChat business, write explosive articles, be an online celebrity, and then give all kinds of 2 1 day crash courses.
Is it really that simple? 2 1 Can childishness form a habit? Then why do we have to go to university for graduate study? We just need to form the habit of studying 2 1 day, and then we will continue to study and practice.
Maybe it's the prejudice of studying science and engineering. Personally, I always like to keep my feet on the ground and make progress step by step. Don't forget your initiative.
There was a very good article in the company's mind last year, which I think is a good way to deal with this incident.
The article was written by a Huawei female engineer. In this industry called "girls are not as good as boys", the author has achieved good results for several years with manly perseverance. However, a physical examination changed her mind, and she suffered from several chronic diseases at an early age because of excessive fatigue and great pressure.
Looking back on the past, the author clearly realized that he did not have extraordinary IQ and outstanding personal ability, and his achievements were really accumulated by time and body.
It is really important to work hard the day after tomorrow, but this kind of effort is based on talent. Our goals and dreams should be based on truth and reliability.
Give yourself a correct position, a matching social status, and plan a stable career path. I think even if I lose my job at the age of 34, I can still start over. What's more, as long as I am good enough for a certain position, I can handle it with ease.
I would also like to add that Huawei is not limited in age. I know that an excellent expert in his 60s has joined Huawei.
