One yuan package box charges, cancel the free cafeteria ... The big factory began to tighten the trouser belt

To meet the various needs of employees and let them work hard and work hard, there is no worries. This is why the reason why the big factory is called a large factory is also a set of narratives that attract talents. But today's large factories really no longer need to be desperately recruit talents as before.

Operation | Painting Fire

The annual Mid -Autumn Festival Gift Box Contest, the style of painting has changed. After watching a circle, it seems that each family has not been as embarrassing in previous years.

Open the gift box of byte beating, there is no view at a glance, 6 months cakes, 2 photo frames. Looking back at last year, the "colorful square array" printed with the paintings is both beautiful, decent, and can sell a good price. This year, it is a bit difficult to shoot. out.

There are only moon cakes in Tencent gift boxes. They insist on packaging with repetitive cartons. The biggest highlight is the cloud leg moon cake. It comes from Panzhiaga Village, Xuanwei City, Yunnan. Tencent also has another creative moon cake with a space geese with cool rabbit ears, named "Moonlight Treasure Goose", but this belongs to the payment, which needs to be packed at 258 yuan.

In contrast, it seems that Baidu is not bad, camping the sky, folding back chairs, picnic mats, and proper "camping big sets". Someone rushed to get hot and went to the park to try it. The installation of the day was first blown down by a gust of wind, and then the hail was destroyed. The practicality needs to be considered.

Ali's gift boxes were given 2 enamel tea cups, and Huawei also comes with tea sets. The feelings and atmosphere are in place, but they feel too simple.

For a long time, the holiday gift package is one of the performances of large factory welfare, and each has been competing in previous years. The packaging design pays attention to the various, the outer box can become a lantern, airplane, drawer, and space capsule; the creative creativity of the cake comes from the aesthetics of the enterprise. Equipment, home supplies, and even plant seeds and fascia guns, the better, the more expensive the better.

But this year, the large factory generally changed its style. Looking at the simple gift box, and then thinking about the free cafeteria and afternoon tea that were canceled, the reduced benefits were reduced. The employees knew that even the most decent large manufacturers in the past were not good.

Money saves from the mouth

Opening the "Kuaishou Canteen", Qin Meng was tangled and chose meat sauce and mixed meal, which means that he will spend 30 yuan in the light work card. Drinking coffee at night can only be at your own expense. If you want the money, you must control the lunch for more than ten yuan. After thinking about it, she still decided that she could save it, give up the meat sauce, and bought the egg tomato noodles of 16 yuan.

Qin Meng had no such trouble at all. In the fast hand, it is well -known in terms of eating. The company's morning and lunch are free. Not only are the combination of vegetarian and vegetables and the combination of Chinese and Western and Western. Employees can mention themselves. In the evening, after 8 o'clock, as long as it is positioned in the company and automatically send 30 yuan "energy", you can buy supper and coffee.

Until last fall, Kuaishou found that the growth of its own users only took a short step, and it was always difficult to climb, determined to adjust the organizational structure, put the "cost reduction and efficiency" in the core position, and included the quarterly assessment of the executive quarterly assessment. standard.

"Slimming" began, the first to be downgraded was afternoon tea. Qin Meng found that the original fruits, snacks and milk tea sets have become a random match for today's "fruits+snacks", tomorrow's "snack+drink". The price of 30 yuan has also been reduced. Later, the two changed the same, and finally canceled it completely.

In the company's freezer, Zhong Xuegao was relegated to a three -dollar ordinary ice cream, and then turned into an old popsicle of 1 yuan.

After the Spring Festival this year, the free morning and lunch are gone, all at their own expense. At the beginning, the price was very high, and the employees could not accept it. They kept being adjusted to the current price to the administrative reflection — one more than ten yuan, a set of meals, basically no more than 30 yuan. Girls with a small amount of food feel enough, and some boys still have to add meals.

Qin Meng does not want to spend more money. She usually saves the 30 yuan coupon of the previous night. It will be used the next day. I buy a miscellaneous pancake for breakfast for 6 yuan. Flowers.

In the past, the high welfare of Kuaishou was recognized. Some employees called the executives responsible for various benefits, "Miss Sister". Even if they left, they would miss it. The employees are helpless. On social platforms, they shared how to "get 10 pounds of fat" and harvest a series of enviable commendations for "pushing inside".

Now, this "happiness" seems difficult to have. Chen Chen, who was beating in bytes, also felt some gap. In the tea break area, there are beef jerky, chicken breasts, and relatively expensive daily darkness, but now, looking at it, more a few cents a pack of instant noodles, some hard small breads and logo printed with logo The small biscuits are almost all small snacks of bulk and small bags.

This is not so obvious, but sometimes these small and trivial differences will affect the employee's sense of belonging.

Standing at the door of the company's cafeteria, Liu Yuwei, who works at Tencent, is also confused. The notice board says that the restaurant no longer provides free fruits and lunch boxes. If you need to buy it. 1 yuan for a meal box, 1.7 yuan for an apple, 1.8 yuan banana, and 1.5 yuan. The price is not expensive, but Liu Yuwei is still a little unhappy. The company explained that the cancellation of free fruits was because "there were many wastes before." ▲ Fruit starts charging, with an average price of more than one yuan.

Seeing this news, the outsourcing employee Zeng Xiaohui was calm. Earlier, they were notified, free restaurant benefits were canceled, and then they had to spend money to eat. This is not a small money. In 2022, Tencent's second quarter financial report showed that Tencent had 110,715 employees. According to relevant information, outsourced personnel account for 30 %. Once charges are charged, hundreds of thousands can be saved every day.

A few days ago, while the regulations had not been implemented, Zeng Xiaohui went to the cafeteria to weigh more than 50 yuan meals. While eating, he took a picture and wrote the text "the last free meal."

Unhappy commute

Compared to eating, Zeng Xiaohui's most popular is the bus benefits that gradually cancel outsourcing.

He has shown "no permissions" to log in to a small program. In Tencent, the bus is the most convenient way to commute in the eyes of employees. In order to save more money, everyone will even rent a "bus dot house" along the line of the bus. Zeng Xiaohui lives in the nearest shuttle point for 3 minutes, but now, if he does not take a bus, he must take the bus first, then take the subway, and finally take another way to reach the company. , Almost waste time on the road. If possible, he would rather pay extra bus fees.

If you can't sit in a car, Zeng Xiaohui is a little uncomfortable and feels that he has been treated differently. However, in the context of reducing costs and efficiency, those official employees are not as comfortable as before.

Last year, Ali adjusted the rules of the car. After 9 o'clock in the evening, it used the company to take a taxi and automatically take the account for reimbursement. Now, only a few hundred yuan of taxi subsidies are issued a month. For those who are close to their homes, the impact is not great, but many people live far. They must go to get off work throughout Hangzhou every day, and they are one hundred yuan. For them, they are really painful.

In terms of taxi, Internet companies can save them, trying their best to prevent those behaviors that want to wool. Some companies stipulate that the starting place must be in the company, and some companies require a taxi to choose the economy.

Qin Meng did not have the trouble of commuting nightmare. She lived very close. It was less than 5 kilometers from the company. It took 20 minutes to walk, and it took only ten minutes to ride a bike. However, the commuting of the Internet workers is not allowed to have both fish and bear's paw. When saving time on the road, they must bear high rent -a single room two or three thousand yuan, and the master bedroom is at least four or five thousand yuan. The living room is better, go to 7,000 yuan.

In the past, Qin Meng had this confidence. The company has 2,000 yuan per month, and employees are required to live within the scope of 3-5 kilometers from the company. Thanks to the house supplement, she does not have to live like a friend, either live far and far away. She is commuting for more than an hour a day, or she is a small single room with high housing rented in the nearest housing.

However, the house supplement of the employees of the Internet factory has also become the confidence of the landlord and the agent's price increase. Some listings specifically allocated for large manufacturers have been selected.

Near the West Erqi Commercial District in Beijing, Kuaishou, Baidu and Netease Company gathered to the northernmost road to the north road. The southernmost is within the South Road of Nongda Dali. There are No. 13 subway lines through the range. Many employees will follow the subway station along the subway station. Finding a house nearby, some communities were marked with additional, becoming popular, such as Huilongguan and Liulitun.

Because of the house supplement, even the "section house" was born. In Beijing, there are more than a dozen office districts. The headquarters AVIC Plaza is located near Zhichun Road, because a large number of bytes with a house -made by -house tonic are gathered, and the rent is high.

In order to have his own space, Qin Meng chose a master bedroom of 4,600 yuan, and co -rent with two girls working in a large factory. It was equivalent to only 2600 yuan per month for a monthly rent.

But this year, her commute is gone. The company stipulates that employees with more than three years of social work will be canceled. Qin Meng happened to be more than three years, ranking among them, and the cost of rental houses suddenly rose suddenly. The two landlords who heard the winds were worried that the house was not easy to rent, and the rent was adjusted symbolically. Qin Meng's master bedroom was also cheaper of 500 yuan, but this still could not reach the lost 2,000 yuan house supplement. In order to get closer to the company, many people endure the increase in the cost of rent, but Qin Meng decided to change the house after thinking about it.

She hung on the Internet for rent, and did not go far after she moved out. She rented a small single room in the community next to the community, which was 2500 yuan per month. It was the same as before, but the living experience was not as good as before.

In the last house, Qin Meng opened a leisure area in the house, laid more than 200 yuan of carpets, and bought a large lazy sofa and glass coffee table, so that several friends were not a problem. Now, the rooms are getting smaller, and these are all over -installed, even the original long shelves and floor -to -ceiling mirrors are very crowded. No way, Qin Meng could only give these homes to friends.

When she didn't adapt to changing the room, she always comforted herself. It didn't matter. This was a place to sleep. However, every time she goes home, she still misses her former hut.

There are shrinking everywhere

The camera was pulled up, looking at the inside of the large factory, there were subtle changes in all corners. In the eyes of Midea Chairman Fang Hongbo, it will be an unprecedented cold winter in the next three years; Huawei's founder Ren Zhengfei told the employees to work hard to "live" and pass "cold air to everyone". One large factory after another, the relay moves towards cost reduction and efficiency.

Liu Yuwei discovered a lot of noticeable details. During meals, the degradable environmental protection bags were replaced with transparent plastic bags; during office, the default program of the printer was set to "double -sided, black and white". Essence In public areas, some green plants have been quietly moved away; masks are distributed from pushing a car to themselves, and the number has also changed from 1 pack to 1 pack to 5 pieces; the gym also started to limit the number of users.

Drop by verifying the execution of the internal letter a few months ago. In March, a letter named "In Tencent, a comprehensive cost reduction and efficiency is beginning", the publisher was the Ministry of Culture, and 58,000 of 80,000 employees read it.

Some companies have poured some unimaginable places. An Internet company employee found that now lining up to collect paper towels, a person can only get 5 boxes, and the previous limit is 10 boxes. If you take it more, the executive colleagues will not open one eye and close one eye, but let you go back. Some companies have other methods. Paper pumps in public areas have gradually disappeared. From the plans on the bright side, letting others take itself into a cabinet, and employees need to ask for employees.

There are also some changes that are easily ignored. Like a barrel water, it may be changed from 20 yuan to 10 yuan; the trash can put one from two stations, and it has become only one or two in a row. Power saving is very important. Some companies include whether the computer is included in the assessment after get off work. For the first time, email reminders, repeatedly appeared, and directly play the minimum performance.

Outside the company, there are also changes. Zou Shiyuan, who works at the Internet company, found that it was more troublesome for business trips. The company canceled a dining subsidy of 100 yuan per day, requiring that each spending must have a corresponding invoice and specific explanation. In the past, for convenience. He was looking for a shop on the street, and he was roughly calculated. As long as he did not exceed 100 yuan a day, he did not lose. Now, he starts to develop a habit. Before entering the hotel, the first sentence asked, "Can you get an invoicing?" After confirming it, I sat down.

The most effective way to reduce costs and efficiency is to control the number of employees. In Qin Meng's memory, the most obvious when the recruitment was the first four months last year. In the past, as long as a job seeker had passed the first three rounds, it was basically stable. After that, he went through the field. Now, the screening is more stringent. The interview may not pass. It also became difficult.

On the contrary, the resignation becomes simple. The desensitization period of several months has been relaxed. From the leaving to the procedure, the fastest transfer time is only 10 days.

The "bitter" day is here?

Many people will feel that people seem to be so popular in the Internet manufacturers based on talent strategies.

Before entering the company, listening to the welfare of the smallpox, Liu Yuwei often has an illusion, which is just like the past factories of the factory, eating free canteens, afternoon tea, living in public rental houses or subsidized houses. Turn to reimbursement of taxis, leisure and entertainment have various facilities such as gyms, there are no fine things, provided one by one. Outstanding employees can also get interest -free loans, stocks, and even qualifications for settlement.

To meet the various needs of employees and let them work hard and work hard, there is no worries. This is why the reason why the big factory is called a large factory is also a set of narratives that attract talents.

In the past few years, it was the fast track of the Internet development. Grabbing and expanding are the keywords of the big manufacturers. A headhunter that has in -depth cooperation with the Internet company remembers, especially after 2019, represented by the commercial team, many departments have grown rapidly. In order to recruit more people, the standards have fallen a lot. "In 2016, it was not 985. , 211, don't even look at the background of the industry. By 2020, some people and people who have no obvious advantages can also enter. "

By 2021, the number of byte employers exceeded 100,000, and Meituan also formulated a plan to expand 60,000 people. "The largest school recruitment in history" began to be mentioned frequently.

If you grab the people, you must also find a way to retain people. It is impossible for Internet manufacturers to give each employee stock and options, but the relatively high benefits are more effective and direct ways to retain people.

The bytes used to equip employees with high -priced ergonomic chairs, each more than 10,000 yuan. Whenever they are tired, the chair cushion will automatically move forward, the waist can be tightly held, the head can also It has a "happiness of being wrapped". Sometimes, for the great factory people, this kind of comfortable and comfortableness, although insignificant, is very important.

But now, the big factory is gradually slowing down, and the new growth is getting more and more difficult. The open source is unfavorable and can only be thrown. On August 17, Tencent released the Q2 quarterly financial report, with revenue decreased by 3%year -on -year, and net profit was 18.6 billion yuan. Although it still made money, it fell 56%year -on -year. If Tencent is ahead, more large manufacturers are facing real losses. In 2021, the loss of station B was far greater than the growth rate; the loss of the third quarter of last year was 100.3%year -on -year. Faced with such numbers, the capital market has no confidence. Compared with its peak, Tencent's stock price fell 20%, Alibaba fell 40%, fast fell 80%, and iQiyi fell 83%. The entire Internet industry is shrouded in clouds.

Although the aura of the big factory was a bit dull, people still came. According to the hunting data, in the second quarter of this year, the Internet industry accounted for 9.64%of the total number of newly issued graduates. It is still the industry with the largest number of new positions. But today's large factories really no longer need to be desperately recruit talents as before.

Each point that is reduced will affect the happiness of the work. Chen Chen began to think about changing jobs. She entered the large factory for a high salary. She planned to work in Beijing for 5 years and saved a wave of down payment. She returned to her hometown to buy a house and married her boyfriend. Now, she is not optimistic, and she starts to worry about how long she can work. If the situation is even worse, she must consider transferring career.

Less than a year before Liu Yuwei entered the large factory. Before joining the job, she was envied by everyone, and she was sometimes hesitated. She did not go to the post of teachers, but entered the large factory. Is this choice right? But now that she is here, she doesn't want to leave casually. She decided to "linger" first and set the timeline for herself. When I stayed at the end of the year, I thought it was okay. road.

Qin Meng does not want to think so much. Her department is relatively important, her performance is well completed, and the year -end prize and quarterly bonus have not been affected. What she thinks is that as long as there is a lot of money to the hand, there is reason to persuade herself to continue. The only problem is that after the benefits have been reduced, the expenditure has also been spent. She also has a large amount of money, and the money must be calculated.

In order to supplement 30 yuan, Qin Meng will stay after 8 o'clock in the evening every day. Sometimes, she will deliberately work hard to work at night, sleep lazily the next day, go to work late, Save breakfast. This situation is quite common, and sometimes colleagues come in the afternoon, and everyone is not surprised.

In the past, everyone in the default afternoon tea was leisure time, and colleagues would chat while eating snacks. Now, everyone can only create a "lounge area" by themselves. Often, milk tea, small cakes and fruits are set together in the department. Several people gathered in the public district, talked about gossip, took time, and relaxed themselves. Qin Meng only discovered that she was unknown before. When there was free afternoon tea to eat, she often suspected that the calories were high. After eating a few mouthfuls, she threw it away, which was a waste.

AA cost every day, each time it costs 2030 yuan, or even more. In the face of the invitation of tea from time to time, Qin Meng had to start looking for excuses and quickly refused, "I lose weight, do not drink!"
