Seeking the truth about Midea Group’s layoffs in 2011! Thank you~

Midea is a large enterprise that is in the process of internationalization and enjoys a certain reputation in society. I admire the past business strategies and forward-looking awareness of the group leaders, and have always been able to operate in this large company. Family work and life with pride. In the past, I supported all the company's decisions because I have always believed that any decision made by the company must be made after considering the interests of the company and individuals. Whether modern enterprises can survive, cohesion is very important, and execution can be said to be an important manifestation of cohesion. In the past, Midea's execution ability was good, but the recent vigorous layoffs of Midea Royalstar washing machines have made me change my view of Midea. Especially after Midea Group acquired Royalstar. Mass layoffs of local staff. Regarding the necessity of this major layoff, President Wang and other leaders have emphasized it in various meetings, and have also issued relevant documents explaining the purpose and implementation methods of layoffs. This roughly means: layoffs cannot simply be laid off for the sake of layoffs. Focusing on maintaining the sustainable development of the company, priority will be given to graduates of the 2008 class, and in accordance with legal procedures, they will be laid off and compensated where necessary. The layoffs were made without notifying the laid-off employees in advance in accordance with legal procedures, and without paying corresponding financial compensation. This caused the laid-off people to feel angry and uncomfortable, and the remaining people were in a daze. Everyone did not know when their day would come, and the entire company It shows weakness, as the saying goes, "if people's hearts are scattered, it's hard to lead the team." Why can't some companies and business units implement the spirit of the document and follow legal procedures? Where is our execution capability? Just talking about it verbally? What kind of execution is this? What is this attitude? Is this what beautiful people do? Don't make superficial remarks, let alone ignore national laws. We must show real performance. Enterprises win through execution.

From the perspective of corporate development, this layoff is a good thing. The coordination of scale and personnel has enabled the company to recognize itself and the market clearly. However, we need to respect national laws.

For a company, if the layoffs are done improperly, it may seem like it can reduce employment costs, but should we consider the negative impacts caused by improper layoffs? Sometimes the negative impacts far outweigh the immediate benefits! ! ! A labor information consulting company stated that non-compliance with the law is the root cause of layoff disputes. Some companies hope to find better ways to reduce costs during layoffs, such as avoiding compensation stipulated in the law, but this often causes trouble. In order to achieve their goals, these companies even use deceptive means, such as demotion or salary reduction to force employees to write resignation reports. Companies use compensation as a bait to deceive employees into signing resignation reports, but after signing, employees do not receive compensation. These deceptive practices seriously damage the image of the company. Although layoffs can gain people's understanding, the fact that is currently before people is that the company's methods of layoffs are incredible: notifying someone or a certain group of people without any sign that "you will not come to work tomorrow", without any regard to the Labor Law. the relevant provisions of the Law. This approach is actually to avoid paying financial compensation to laid off employees, which is very stupid. Just like recruitment is not just a window-dressing, layoffs should not be about shedding burdens. Businesses should not use their current position of employment advantage to lord it over their employees. Those who take advantage of the current trend of layoffs and want to avoid paying the 13th month's salary not only violate the relevant provisions of the Labor Law, but also harm the company's image and hinder Midea's development. In fact, Midea's layoffs don't need to be so "bloody" and there is no need to rack your brains to find various excuses. I have consulted a lawyer, and the lawyer told me that layoffs are not a legal term, but "economic layoffs." It should be pointed out that most of the people laid off in Midea's layoffs are not very pessimistic, and they are not because of being laid off. Cut off and exclude the company. Many of them said to themselves: "You won't be afraid of being laid off when you work." Indeed, some of these people are technical backbones, talents among talents. If they have the ability, why are they afraid that no one will want them? But the company's approach makes people feel uncomfortable. People sometimes argue for one opinion at a time. Midea's forced and illegal layoffs are unjust and stupid. I hope President Wang can carefully consider the means of this layoff and follow the legal procedures and do the basic behaviors that a company should do. Otherwise, the 20% of our laid off employees will use legal weapons to protect their rights and interests. If what I said is inappropriate, please don't be angry, because I did it for the legitimate interests of my employees and friends, and it was a sign of respecting the laws of the country.
