Chapter 680: Overtime
In his speech on the stage, it is not that Yang Yi is inclined to Huawei, but in comparison, Huawei is much stronger than Lianxiang, and even stronger than many domestic companies.
Even Starry Sky almost embarked on Huawei's model at the beginning, but after Yang Yi weighed it, he resolutely gave up this very tempting business behavior.
In the Huawei model, the easiest and most imitated problem is undoubtedly overtime; Modern formal enterprises, in accordance with national regulations, now implement a five-day, eight-hour work week.
According to the law, the normal working time is 8 hours, but now the working hours stipulated by different companies are different, but generally speaking, most of them are still 965 working hours on the surface.
The 965 work system generally refers to the work system of going to work at 9 a.m. and leaving work at 6 p.m., 5 days a week.
The 965 work system is the most common and is a legal and compliant work system.
Of course, there are also many arrangements for the working hours of enterprises, such as the 12127 work system; 12127 means going to work at 12 noon and leaving work at 12 o'clock at night, working 7 days a week, which is an illegal act.
In addition, the common system of enterprise oppression of employees is 996, or even 007; 996 is to go to work at 9 o'clock, get off work at 9 o'clock, work 6 days a week, and 007 is more terrifying, that is, to treat the company as a home, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, stay in the company, in addition to eating and sleeping is work.
In China's science and technology Internet companies have gradually implemented the 996 work system from a certain period of time, most of the company's employee working hours have increased, but the wages have only increased slightly, and what is even more outrageous is that many small and medium-sized companies have begun to implement the 996 work system, the reason is to learn from these large companies, are implementing the 996 work system, we also want to implement, but the wages of the employees of these large companies and the wages given by these small and medium-sized companies are naturally different. And these small and medium-sized companies generally have the so-called voluntary overtime, that is, there is no overtime pay.
In fact, the 965 work system is 8 hours a day, but in fact, due to economic and transportation problems, the average office worker has to add 12 hours of commuting time.
For most people, 965 is not happy enough, let alone 996, of course, most of the time people will compromise, and this 996 work system is also implemented by large enterprises and small enterprises, but the employees in small enterprises are generally refused.
What is the problem with this system for small businesses?
Mainly because of these reasons, in fact, many companies work overtime just for the sake of overtime, not because there is too much work and overtime, so many companies' 996 work system actually slows down the progress of work, because many people can do things today in a few hours, but in order to kill time to do it slowly, resulting in overtime but the company's efficiency is actually not up, but there is a very important reason is the salary problem.
Many people think that the salary under the 996 work system should be higher than the salary of 965, but in fact, this is not the case, many companies even if the 996 work system salary is not necessarily higher than the 955 salary, because they implement the so-called voluntary overtime, you do not work overtime, we do not object, but our company does not need employees like you who do not work overtime, so many people are forced to work overtime voluntarily, it can be said that the 996 work system has gradually become an anti-social work system, It is impossible to find out which company advocates this system, but it is Huawei that has carried it forward.
This is also where Yang Yi's dissatisfaction with Huawei lies, even if Huawei's products are better and the price is lower, but Star's purchase of Huawei equipment accounts for half of the share at most.
The point of the 996 overtime system is not that it breaks the legal system of 965, but that it breaks the law; In modern society, the law is higher than reason, and the cornerstone of social operation lies in strict observance of the law, and then gradual reform in accordance with the law.
Although several large factories led by Huawei cannot be said to be seriously exploited, after all, the money is really enough; But shouldn't the right thing to do is to confirm in the form of law that overtime is appropriate?
The Labor Code is not just for reading there!
The original situation was that everyone was 965, the annual salary of the first-line factory was 10w, and the annual salary of others was 6w, and now a factory extended the working hours to 996 by ignoring the law, and then the winner takes all and raised the salary to 40w; However, the small factory found that the "Labor Law" was useless, so it also extended the working system to 996, but the salary was still 6w, which seriously damaged the interests of its employees.
The employee of the big factory who ate crabs looked at it, although it was 996, but the salary had risen so much, it was worth it!
It's really not much of a problem from a one-sided point of view, but this kind of behavior is essentially eating other people's dividends.
It is true that today's economy has not developed to the point where all people can enjoy basic welfare, but another problem is that the legal system and social concepts have not developed to the point where they can be freely used!
They all want money, so they must strictly abide by the law, and the "Labor Law" protects the interests of the weak to a certain extent.
What is the ideal way to get the same money as Huawei? Suppose a country introduces a new policy that legalizes overtime, and then sets a minimum overtime wage (preferably based on the industry average wage) and a minimum allotment equity for employees.
However, under the current legal framework, it is illegal to work more than 36 hours of overtime per month, and what is wrong is wrong; It is unethical for a company to force or induce employees to work overtime.
Huawei has its advantages, and it is somewhat better than other companies in all aspects of overtime, but this behavior is not right in the first place, and it is illegal.
To be more serious, how much difference is there between this and sincerely admitting your mistake after killing someone to compensate for fraud, you work overtime and pay full wages, can the law just look good?
You did, but at least you have to know that it's against the law and don't take it for granted!
The law is higher than reason! The law is higher than reason! It's like if you can break the upper limit of overtime hours today, will the minimum wage standard also be broken tomorrow?
Anyway, do you think that if the xxx conditions are met, it is reasonable to pay less salary!
Huawei is a big company with a sense of responsibility, but it is a stain on the issue of overtime; It's like a person who is good at everything, but he has the shortcoming of being a liar.
Yes, yes, I know he respects his teachers and unites his classmates, but I just want to say that he has a flaw in liaring.
Yes, I know what you said, his grades have always been very good, I know, I mean to say that he has such a shortcoming, I understand, I understand his situation!
Why do we have to believe that love to lie is a virtue?
The issue of legal voluntariness and reasonableness can also be understood in this way, there is a provision in my country that low-rent housing cannot be subletted, there is a seemingly reasonable approach, for example, you are too poor, you are willing to sublet it out for 500 yuan, and then go to live in a house of 300 yuan.
Makes sense, right?
Isn't this more profound to the purpose of "helping the poor"?
But sorry, if you can't sublet, you can't sublet!
If you open this opening, you will break a lot of things.
We have to follow the rules before we can modify them to achieve our ends.
There may not be the strength to do anything specific for the time being, but at least you must know that you must stand on the side of upholding the law, not to undermine him.
Previously, we were forced to make some choices without conditions, or when circumstances did not allow it, but knew that it was wrong.
At the beginning of Starry Sky, Yang Yi also made some mistakes in management, and Starry Sky had a lot of overtime problems at first, because of the high bonuses, which lured employees to be willing to work overtime, and even this is probably one of the reasons why Starry Sky grew so fast at the beginning.
However, after careful consideration and discussion, Yang Yi resolutely gave up this system, which is very beneficial to the enterprise.
The eight-hour working day was won by the proletarian laborers to protect their own rights and interests, and the original intention was to protect the rights and interests of the laborers, not to protect the eight-hour working day.
Once a company implements this system, it will be easy to confuse those who are willing to work overtime for money and those who are not willing to work overtime for money.
Businesses will assume that all employees are the first people, but forget that the latter people don't get the rights they deserve at all.
Most people ignore the fact that in the case of administrative intervention and judicial intervention, the result of one-on-one bargaining between most workers and enterprises, under the implementation of this 996 system by enterprises, then they must be forced to work overtime without compensation.
why the Labor Code exists; It is undeniable that the market has its own adjustment mechanism, from an ideal point of view, a company works more overtime, a company works less, and workers will flock to companies with less overtime under the same income, so as to ensure that workers have reasonable working hours.
But the ideal market conditions do not exist, just like the collective price increase of merchants, on the surface, a company increases the price, another company can take the opportunity to make small profits and quick turnover, but in actual operation, it is often several giants who secretly collude with each other to manipulate the market to raise prices together, why the star must participate in the supply chain, but also to get the right to speak to the supplier, which is mostly in the form of shares, is to prevent this behavior.
Just like why Mr. Liu of Lianxiang said that, because his efficiency has declined, why has it declined, the hardware has increased in price, and it is a collective price increase, for the starry sky, the price increase is also in line with the interests of the starry sky, it seems that the cost is rising, but because of the shares, after the benefit of the supplier's price increase is apportioned, the profit may be higher.
For example, the recent memory price increase, for ordinary users, if you want to buy a computer, you can only accept 800 pieces of memory sticks, because merchants can afford to consume, this month's sales decline a little, but ordinary users will use the computer to draw tomorrow, he can not stay up memory particles when there is overcapacity, with the increasing development of science and technology, high-tech production capacity will never be excessive.
The same is true in the labor market, most employers are in a strong position, so when Company A finds that its opponent Company B works overtime for two hours a day, the most advantageous strategy is definitely not to take the opportunity to recruit more people, because it is profitable to recruit more people only by getting more orders first.
The most advantageous strategy for company A is definitely to let employees work overtime, anyway, the company's loss is nothing more than a little electricity, but you can rest assured that you can recruit fewer people next year, take more orders this year, and the labor force is still free, isn't it beautiful?
And the laborers are in a hurry to eat this bowl of rice, and there is no choice, if the infection continues one by one, the entire industry will be 996, and the laborers will have no choice at all.
It is precisely because the ideal market does not exist that it is necessary to restrain the unlimited exploitation of the powerful party (the creditors of the employer's industry giants) in the market environment, that there is an eight-hour work week, an anti-monopoly law, and a ceiling on interest rates.
Because this is equivalent to the state playing the role of a trade union, reaching an agreement with the strong on behalf of all the weak parties in the market, using this basic red line to protect the interests of the weak.
Only by understanding the role of the Labor Law can we understand what mistakes Huawei has made.
What Huawei did was to publicly tear up the agreement and renegotiate the price one-on-one.
On the surface, Huawei is very interesting, and Huawei's staff get a good income, but this behavior opens Pandora's box.
Because before that, although migrant workers could not get the treatment stipulated in the labor law, everyone tacitly agreed that this was the style of garbage enterprises, and the high-quality enterprises (foreign enterprises, state-owned enterprises) in everyone's minds were talking about the "Labor Law".
As a high-quality large enterprise and a respected star enterprise, Huawei was the first to expose the essence of the Labor Law, setting off a kind of "wolf culture", indirectly forcing all workers to negotiate one-on-one with business owners.
And the result of such bargaining must be that the laborers suffer a great loss, just as allowing usury must be bankrupt for countless people.
Huawei's role in this is like that of Marc Aurelius, the first to use barbarian troops, maybe Aurelius can suppress the barbarian army, but his successors cannot all have his talent, and finally let Rome be coerced by barbarian mercenaries.
There are a lot of things in this world that can't be done, not because no one in the world can do it well, but because there is no red line, most people will do it badly.
Huawei's wolf culture does make employees eat meat; But most companies that follow the trend will only let their employees eat.
Yang Yi can also guarantee even higher interests than Huawei, but why resolutely give up, great enterprises can not only consider short-term profits and their own benefits, but also consider social effects.
As an industry leader, when becoming a role model for other companies, there are bound to be many imitations, and most of the time this imitation will only be advantageous.
For example, there are many high-tech enterprises in the starry sky to imitate, the starry sky is characterized by high salary, at least twice the salary of the same enterprises, but this is without the same enterprises generally have options and equity and other benefits.
The imitation companies don't seem to see this, they just want to be like the stars, the shares are not shared, but the wages are not increased, but this is also in line with the characteristics of capitalists.
