Why do many internet companies always like to lay off employees while recruiting in large numbers?

In the final analysis, this phenomenon is determined by the essence of enterprises' pursuit of profit maximization. Depending on the type of enterprise, the specific reasons that may exist are as follows:

The first reason: for enterprises with low technical requirements, laying off old employees and recruiting new employees can reduce labor costs and improve corporate profits. A problem will be found in the workplace. The salary of old employees is generally higher than that of new employees, followed by the high amount paid by social security and provident fund enterprises, which increases the cost of enterprises. Therefore, enterprises with low technical requirements for workers can meet production requirements by recruiting new employees, and at the same time reduce labor costs, so this has become a means for them to increase profits.

The second reason: many bosses think that the energy and physical strength of old employees can't keep up, and they should replace old employees with young new employees, which can improve work efficiency. People's physical strength and energy will continue to decline with age, and work efficiency will also decline with age, which is unacceptable to enterprises that pursue profit maximization. They will also choose to hire new employees one after another to replace old employees in order to improve production efficiency.

The third reason: due to the lack of efforts of a few workers themselves. Some workers have worked in enterprises for a period of time, becoming so-called "old employees", beginning to "put on airs" and losing their attitude of serious work. Considering the creation of the overall corporate atmosphere, enterprises have to dismiss this small number of old employees in order to improve the corporate atmosphere and enhance the vitality of enterprises.

The fourth reason: the off-season of enterprise products is obvious, so there is "tidal employment". Because the off-season and peak season of enterprise products are very clear, and the technical content required for production is not high, they reduce their staff and burden in the off-season, and then start recruiting new employees when the peak season comes, which can effectively control labor costs and increase profits for enterprises.

To sum up, some enterprises keep firing old employees and recruiting new employees. In the final analysis, it is the pursuit of profit maximization. For employees, on the one hand, they should safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, on the other hand, they should strive to improve themselves and maintain good working conditions.

The above is my opinion, I hope it will help you.
