The Spring Festival holiday in 2020 is very long. It grows beyond many people’s expectations and beyond what many people can afford.
Because those who have savings and deposits can survive for a while, but those who have no savings and savings are already miserable. Many people have arrived at their place of work, but because work has not started, they have to stay at home, and their living expenses are indispensable every day.
2020 will have a profound impact on China’s economy. Wuhan has been under lockdown for more than 40 days, and we don’t know how long it will last. If you lock a normal person at home, it will be fine for a day or two, but if you lock him up for ten days and a half, he will be driven crazy even if he is not crazy. But the people of Wuhan have gritted their teeth and locked themselves in their homes for more than 40 days in order for China to defeat the new coronavirus. Many hotels, restaurants, and companies have closed or are no longer open. Many small business owners choose to disband their teams.
It is already mid-March, but even the companies that have started working have not started working with all employees. Those who have started working are only management cadres, all middle and high-level companies. As a grassroots employee, are you panicked? If you don’t go to work, there will be no salary. If you don’t go to work, there will be no living security. What should you do?
Every company and every enterprise has many positions that are dispensable. The reason why there are so many people in the company now is because of the shortcomings of large companies, because of the incompetence of individual managers, and because of the habit of individual managers being the boss.
Most managers do not dare to let people who are more capable than themselves come to the company. Otherwise, how can he be the boss? Because he is afraid of being better than himself, he would rather choose someone who is mediocre than him as his assistant. Although company bosses tell management cadres all day long that they need to train cadres and subordinates, how can they dare to train them?
And what’s terrible is that these jealous patients unfortunately enter or are already at the top, and they use every possible means to exclude those who are better than themselves and reject those with stronger abilities.
Now is the time when a company's survival is at stake, and everyone must reassess themselves. Just because your leader is reluctant to fire you does not mean that your boss is reluctant to fire you.
Last yearAt the end of the year, the author wrote an article "In 2020, the wave of bankruptcies and unemployment will spread, and the industry reshuffle begins!" "Article. Unexpectedly, during the Spring Festival of 2020, the epidemic would press the pause button on the Chinese economy.
Now, not only China, but also countries around the world are affected by the epidemic. As of the early morning of March 7, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Italy reached 4,680. The industry reshuffle is underway, and companies are facing greater challenges to survive.
So, no matter which industry or company you are in, you must work harder in 2020. As long as you are not in a state-owned enterprise, as long as you are not in a party or government agency or public institution, you may be laid off. .
As a pillar industry of China's economy, real estate has also been deeply affected. Xu Xiaole, chief market analyst at Shell Research Institute, said that if the epidemic continues until April or even longer, 20% of real estate agency stores are expected to close. There are about 1.5-2 million real estate agents in my country, and 15-2 million real estate agents may be affected. The employment of 450,000 people was affected.
Starting from January 23, the first to be affected are the transportation, hotel, catering, and tourism industries, which will then affect the retail, fireworks, liquor and other industries. After the holiday, finance, energy, medical care, environmental protection, real estate, agriculture, etc. will all be affected. It began to have an impact, and the ceramic industry was also affected. The doors of terminal stores were closed tightly, and there were no people in the entire building materials market.
The flight ticket from Guangzhou to Sichuan is cheaper than taking a taxi. A document circulated online by SAIC Group on March 5 showed that SAIC Maxus, a subsidiary of SAIC Group, issued the "Notice on the Adjustment of Salary and Benefits in 2020". The notice showed that SAIC Maxus' performance bonus, which accounts for 35% of salary, has increased from 35% to 35%. Discounts will start from the beginning of the month, and the higher the level, the higher the discount.
What should we do in 2020?
1. Maintain the company’s reputation and promote the company’s positive energy.
Everyone is a self-media person today, and many people’s WeChat accounts rarely spread and forward company news. Of course, we cannot evaluate whether you love the company by the amount of company news you repost, but how much can you love the company if you never post company news? The most powerful media now is not traditional media or outdoor advertising, but the new media that every traditional media has transformed into, as well as every company’s self-media. Of course, you can say that the company's self-media is too poor, the content is not very good, and it is difficult to forward. But what about social media coverage of your company?
In today's information-rich world, our communication channels have changed. Each of us has hundreds or thousands of friends. What are we spreading every day? Are we really letting our hearts come into our company? Many bosses are forwarding it, but some of the executives below are looking at it; the people below are even more so. Looking through their WeChat Moments, there is no information about the company at all.
Your image is the corporate image, and the company will be like you. Maintaining the company's reputation and promoting the company's integrity is what every employee must do.
2. Do your job well and create value for the company.
Whether you are already working or not, you have to consider how to create greater value for the company and how to better complete your job. In the past, the company's operating conditions were okay, and it could have spare money to support idle people. But once it faced a life-and-death crisis, the first people to be pushed out and sacrificed were those who did not create value and did not do their jobs well. Improve work efficiency and strive to improve yourself. The biggest problem in the workplace is efficiency. Some people procrastinate in doing things, putting off things that can be done in an hour for a long time, and their work is not organized. Some people go to work to do their own thing, reply to messages that have nothing to do with their work, and fail to grasp the core issue. Some people play games and chat on WeChat during working hours. All this stems from not cherishing my work.
But in 2020, whether you are an ordinary employee or a department head, you must work harder than before, improve your efficiency, learn more, and improve your abilities. Otherwise, there is a danger of get out of class being dismissed at any time.
3. Prepare for a rainy day and be prepared to be laid off.
No job can be done once and for all. Industries that enjoyed great success many years ago, such as shared e-commerce, new energy vehicles, film, television and entertainment, have all been spared from this impact. Industries that ride on the trend may also encounter tornadoes.
We need to think about, what else can I do besides my current job? This is not simply to find a part-time job, but to have a comprehensive analysis of yourself. What are my strongest abilities? Who will pay for these abilities of mine? How much can I sell this capability for? How much of these abilities of mine will be affected by the industry environment?Shock? What abilities of mine are needed by everyone?
During the epidemic, the most popular thing is live broadcast. Many companies have moved sales online. The live broadcast of selling ceramic tiles, cars and houses tells us that the usual sales model is changing. We must actively think about countermeasures and must not sit still and wait for death. This is a good way to deal with risk.
Because, for us as ordinary people, the pressure of life is greater than the anxiety of the epidemic. When survival is desperate, what is more terrifying than anything else is that the money is gone, the job is gone, but life has to go on.
