Why do Internet companies want to recruit while laying off employees? What enlightenment does it bring to us in the workplace?

Enterprises need young strength.

Everyone says that 35 years old is a hurdle for the Internet industry. If you don't transfer to a management position before the age of 35, your development will be very limited.

As a person who is likely to enter the Internet industry in the future, I feel very nervous. Because I study computer myself and lose my hair every day, I know very well how smart such a small child is.

For example, aren't there many children talking about programming now? Everything is fine. Sometimes I don't understand the class and want to see what they say. A child who is so interested in computers and has laid a foundation since childhood will certainly have a broader development field in the Internet industry than a child who is not willing to learn computers, and will also bring more possibilities to the Internet. So, this is the reason why the internet wants to recruit.

This is my simple understanding ~

2. Bottleneck of business model.

Simply put, the previous business model is no longer feasible in the current environment.

3. The traffic dividend disappears.

Description: The popularity of various apps is getting higher and higher, which will slow down the growth of users who join/use this app in the future.

These are some of the reasons for the layoffs of Internet companies.

Second, enlightenment.

"1: Learn to regularly assess your own occupational risks.

So how do you assess your occupational risk?

1) Look at your industry.

The prospect of our industry determines the average risk of layoffs in this industry. If the development prospect of our industry is not very good, then the company will definitely lay off employees in order to survive.

2) Pay more attention to the news

Pay more attention to the news and watch the policy trend.

Many entrepreneurial outlets are given by policies.

For example, I know a person who speculates in stocks and pays attention to the news every day to see the policy direction, so his stock gains far outweigh the losses.

Maybe this example is not appropriate, but friends should know what I mean ~

3) Look at the company

Operating data of the company

Comparing the company's current operating data with those of previous years, we can also know the company's development to a certain extent.

? Benefits provided by the company to employees

If our company gives employees good benefits every holiday, then suddenly it won't be given for a year. ...

We can feel it ourselves.

4) Assess your own post risk

We need to judge whether our position is the core position of the company.

If not, it is probably the first department to lay off employees when the company is in recession.

Of course, we can't just do risk assessment and avoid risks. "

Let's look at some small ways to plan ahead:

Step 2 improve personal skills

1) solid basic skills

Have a solid grasp of work skills and occupy a certain position in the company. For example, our project just can't run without me, or it can't run well without me. There should be little possibility of being laid off when layoffs are made.

2) master a variety of skills

In addition to what we should master, we have mastered many things that others can't help but need on the project.

3) Develop sideline business

Under the epidemic, each of us is facing the risk of unemployment.

Not only the internet industry, but also people over the age of 35.

So it is very important to develop sideline business.
