2023 has come to an end, and the news of layoffs and salary cuts has never stopped. Whether it is a newcomer to the workplace or an elderly person who is crawling around in the workplace, all of them will feel anxious and uneasy.
But I want to say that what should come will always come, anxiety and anxiety are useless, as a migrant worker will definitely encounter this situation, so all we can do is to face the difficulties.
Recently, the senior leader of Xinhua III sent a letter to all employees. The letter clearly pointed out that because the overall environment is very severe, the company's development is not optimistic, and the performance growth has slowed down, so the company has decided to take a series of measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
One of the most important measures is that all employees share the responsibility for the development of the company, and middle and senior managers take the lead in taking the initiative to reduce salaries by 20%.
Although the letter is still a little vague, many people have understood what the leadership means by taking the initiative to cut salaries: the state-owned company has begun to lay off employees. Even leaders have generally cut their salaries, and ordinary employees must not be able to keep their jobs.
This also reflects the harsh reality that in the current economic environment, whether companies can continue to survive is a very serious problem, even state-owned enterprises are no exception. After all, state-owned enterprises are still enterprises in essence, but they are endorsed and supported by the state.
But the market will always have natural selection, the law of survival of the fittest, the state can give you subsidies, but you can't always stick upside down. Because the country's resources are also limited, no matter what kind of company it is, if it can't do it, it will naturally have to go out of business.
In order to avoid this, they have to cut costs, lay off employees, cut salaries, etc. In the face of the company's arrangement, ordinary employees can only accept it, and there is no place to find someone to reason.
For employees in state-owned enterprises, this is also a wake-up call, and everyone always felt that the job opportunities in the system were stable and the wages were reasonable. As long as you are admitted to the establishment, everything is happy when you are admitted to the civil service, but in fact this is not the case.
With screening, we can work a little more comfortably, but not completely flat. I heard a friend say before: "What ordinary people are most afraid of is that in the tide of the times, the bonus period cannot catch up, but the beatings are all followed." ”
Is it bad luck?Is it not enough ability?Or is it something else?
What I'm trying to say is that instead of dwelling on the cause, it's better to take the time to plan ahead. Knowing that the general environment is not good, and knowing that you may face layoffs and salary cuts one day, you must consider a coping strategy in advance.
Either work hard to improve your professional ability, do an extra good job at work, and become the person your boss can't live without. And there is never a shortage of hard-working people in this era, if we want to stand out, we can only choose the right direction and then work harder.
Or try to explore the areas you are interested in, achieve something in the side hustle, and become a person who has the confidence to leave the company voluntarily. Now that the Internet is so developed, there are many ways for ordinary people to do side hustles.
Start with your field of interest, keep trying, keep learning, and keep sticking until you achieve something in this field. At the end of the day, the reason why layoffs and salary cuts are anxiety is because there is not enough income**.
So don't think about so many things that you don't have, seize the time to make money, as long as you have money in your pocket, no matter what the company does, we can have the confidence to deal with it in the way we like.
