Jianghu people call them "Xiao Zong" and "Xiao Da".

Its fans call themselves "stairs" and "Chopin".

The financial tsunami in the winter workplace is deeply affecting all walks of life in the world through trade, finance and investment. I believe that Guangzhou, which participates in global economic activities, is no exception. Starting from today, this newspaper will launch the topic of "Winter" one after another, not to report how cold it is in Guangzhou, but to put forward constructive suggestions to find cold-proof cotton-padded clothes and spend the winter together. The reason why "human resources market" is chosen as the opening is because it involves all walks of life and can be called the vane of economic change. More importantly, I also hope to give more confidence to professionals in winter.

Cold current witness

The situation that there are more wolves and less meat is spreading.

Witness: Xiao Donglou (general manager of human resources center of an investment group, author of Close Contact of Mahjong Headhunters).

"Workplace crisis" is not a new phenomenon. People in the workplace, "facing the crisis every day, will not be afraid of the crisis."

After the financial tsunami, the post-80s and post-90s generation may change from "the environment adapts to me" to "I adapt to the environment".

-Xiao Donglou

"Now the workplace is a fleshy wolf. On the one hand, the supply of jobs is decreasing; on the other hand, the number of people who need jobs is increasing. The most obvious is the change in the number of effective recruits on major recruitment websites. According to the data I have, since the end of August, only four major regions in China, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen, have lost 40,000 jobs, while some industries, such as finance and real estate, have completely stopped recruiting. " Xiao Donglou, who is now the general manager of the human resources center of a large investment group, said that he has been working hard in the headhunting industry.

According to Xiao Donglou, there is another saying in the headhunting industry that people in senior and middle positions are generally handed over to headhunting companies. The Spring Festival is the peak of job-hopping and the peak season for headhunting companies. However, according to several large headhunting companies, the business volume has dropped to 30% in September and June, 65438+ 10. "This amount is not the amount agreed in the contract, but the intended amount. Some headhunting companies have long-term customers and even terminated some orders. "

Xiao Donglou, who is also a consultant for employment planning in many universities, said that according to some figures disclosed in public information, there were 5.9 million graduates this year, while there were 900,000 graduates left last year, totaling 6.8 million. Digestion was 50% in the first phase in previous years, and another batch was prolonged in the second year, and the whole digestion was 80%. Whether it can digest 50% this year is still unknown.

Although finance and real estate are well-known disaster areas, if foreign-funded enterprises are divided according to the nature of enterprise ownership, they will bring higher panic to employees. As the economic crisis is transmitted from the international community, multinational companies are like planting a time bomb, and they don't know when it will detonate, nor how many casualties it will cause, nor how many people will be affected in China. "I have a friend in Shanghai, in a foreign company. He was supposed to be promoted as planned, but news came from foreign headquarters and the Shanghai branch was laid off. " Xiao said:

At the same time, the phenomenon of returning overseas talents is becoming more and more serious, and the situation of oversupply in the market has led to a decline in the salary of high-end talents. According to Xiao Donglou, in the past, you could only hire a domestic professional manager with 1 10,000 yuan. Now at the same price, you can invite "returnees" and choose between two or three people.

However, what scares high-end talents more than salary reduction is "reducing people". Xiao Donglou said that an enterprise considers the overall price of labor costs. In order to reduce the total cost, business leaders will think of reducing salary, but more consideration is laid-off.

Xiao Donglou said that in a recent survey in the US job market, 56% of the top executives of enterprises expect to lay off employees next year, 47% of employees will lose their jobs, and 25% of them need to find jobs in advance. As for the enterprises participating in the survey, there are many enterprises that have trade relations with China and many multinational companies that have set up branches in China. Therefore, for China enterprises, the really severe moment is next year.

Warm cotton-padded clothes

Carefully choose job-hopping

Xiao Donglou: How to face and resolve this crisis? First of all, the most important thing for both college students and employees is to adjust their mentality and seek stability and pragmatism. Adjust the strategy and tactics of job hunting to "defensive" rather than "offensive", and give priority to finding a foothold; Secondly, don't stick to your own major, but combine the market demand and charge in time to improve your comprehensive strength. Third, crises are sometimes opportunities and turning points. When some markets shrink, some new fields and industries will be born. Job seekers should be good at observing and learning. The human resources market is no different from any other market, and it is affected by the relationship between supply and demand. Job seekers must learn to find market demand, so as to find a chance to survive. But opportunities are always given to those who are prepared, so job seekers should keep learning and improve their abilities. It can be said that a wise man will certainly be able to resolve this crisis; Fourth, under the current circumstances, carefully choose job-hopping. On the one hand, it is difficult to determine the future impact on China, and it may jump to worse enterprises. Second, when a company wants to lay off employees, it will generally consider two types of people first, one is people with higher salaries, and the other is people who have just joined the company and are not familiar with the company's business.

Performance in the workplace will never end. I have an ideal: I hope to use my book to turn on a lamp for everyone in the workplace. I hope this lamp is bright and will never go out. Only in this way can I be grateful to those who turn on the lights for me, and only in this way can I repay the love and trust of millions of readers in Qian Qian.

biography

In the past ten years, Xiao Donglou has changed several jobs. Economic and trade professional background, only stayed in the office for a few months; 1997, came back from Los Angeles and went south to Guangzhou to study human resource management. At the same time, I participated in the start-up of a software company. At the age of 27, when the company expected to bring him tens of millions of returns, all the efforts were in vain because of the regulation of the national macro policy.

After fading out of the rivers and lakes for a period of time, I entered the headhunting industry at the suggestion of a senior headhunter. Later, I changed to a different unit, but from beginning to end, I was still doing human resource management and training consulting. At present, he is the general manager of human resources center in a large investment group company, and concurrently serves as the employment planning consultant of many universities in his spare time.

Before the Spring Festival, when a reader bought "Close Contact with Mahjong Headhunters" at Guangzhou Kengkou subway station, he forgot the purpose of this trip, sat on the steps of the subway station and read it in one breath, then wrote to the author, sincerely claiming that his career was "saved".
