Never ending overtime How businesses get out of sweatshops

When I was interning and working at NetEase and JD.com, I had encountered some situations that required overtime, such as during JD.com's Double 11 and 618 activities, I basically needed to work overtime a week in advance, and then I needed to work until about 2 o'clock in the morning on Double 11 and 618 on the same day, so it is normal for Internet companies to encounter some emergency stages of project development or the early stage of entrepreneurship or before some activities are launched, but generally speaking, you can leave at 7-8 o'clock every day.

And there is a point that needs to be added that many Internet companies work flexibly, many employees are clocked in at about 10 o'clock every day, so it is actually very normal to work until 7-8 o'clock in the evening every day, and it is also counted as overtime, others think that people in Internet companies are working overtime at night, in fact, everyone should also look at the daily working hours of Internet companies, rather than just focusing on what time to get off work, this point is very important, and relatively speaking, the time for Internet companies to eat and take a lunch break at noon is quite sufficient.

Definitely not. In fact, most of the Internet companies of foreign-funded enterprises carry out the work according to the national standard time, that is, the 8-hour working system. There is no explicit requirement that you must work overtime during the end of the day. In fact, overtime often occurs in private IT companies.

Why is this so? In fact, large companies generally don't encourage you to work overtime, and overtime is actually a spontaneous behavior of employees. Everyone's situation is different, so the overtime hours are also different.

However, these are all free overtime work on the part of employees. Private IT companies are different. From the boss to the employees, they all work overtime.

This is especially true for start-up companies. The frequencies are relatively high. Because the company just started, there were more things.

Bosses generally give their employees high visions and make them willing to work hard for the company. In these companies, there are more than 50 hours of work in a week. At the same time, Saturdays and Sundays must also be on standby to prepare for work.

After all, we can't devote all our time to work, we also have to learn to enjoy life. Only those who can enjoy life will know how to work harder. I don't encourage workaholics. Because there are still many people who love you and people you love are waiting for you.

1.The specific job content is not written on the recruitment, the clear requirements are not made, and the detailed salary structure is not written.

If these three points occupy two of them, basically there is no need to submit your resume, because you don't know if he will transfer you or squeeze your private time after hiring you, or even deduct your salary.

2.Businesses with high employee mobility.

These companies are often only suitable for short-term temporary work, not long-term solutions, because companies with high turnover rates tend to have poor sense of belonging. So why do employees have a poor sense of belonging? Because this company definitely has a lot of pitfalls that won't be elaborated on when hiring.

3.During the probation period, I will not sign a labor contract with you, and I will not pay you five insurances and one housing fund when you join the company.

This kind of company is a person who has a little judgment, and he will not dare to go if he is allowed to go. There is no guarantee for you to join such a company, and the boss can not have legal awareness, but you must have such a consciousness when you have just graduated.

4.The boss has a meeting every day after work to draw you a big pie and shout slogans every day, but the KPI is extremely strict.

Such companies often don't take into account the needs of their employees and just focus on money. Fresh graduates, in particular, are very easy to become cheap labor, spending the most time doing the hardest things while getting the most meager wages.

5.The office is located in the community.

If you are not in urgent need of money, or are in a hurry to find employment, such a company should think twice. Although it is true that there are large companies that come out of the house, the probability is indeed extremely small. If you are treated well in all aspects, then you can ask about the years of establishment, and if it is too long, you should leave early.

After all, you have been in the community for so many years, and you may not have any future if you stay here.

6.Companies in special industries do not go.

For example, if you sell information, collect violently, or fake marketing, don't try it easily, no matter how good the treatment is. These are all temptations on the edge of the law, and we never know when the incident will happen.

1. The first type is foundry.

The essence of OEM is that there is a third party to make the difference, and the employee's profit is divided by the third party.

Originally, the company's own employees to produce goods, in the profit distribution is very direct, there is no middleman to make the difference, relatively can be divided into more natural things, for example, can be distributed 100 out.

Now in order to improve profit margins, the company outsources part of the non-core work content and hands it over to a third party to do, and the company gives the outsourcing company 90.

The third party recruits its own people, manages it by itself, completes the work content of Party A, and makes money by itself, and only 50 are allocated to employees.

When an outsourcer comes in, the employee who does the job gets half the profit.

The vast majority of outsourcing companies do the work that Party A thinks has low added value, so they will be outsourced, which leads to a low ceiling for development and a lot of effort to work in the outsourcing company.

When applying for a job, you must first understand whether the company's mainstream business is a form of outsourcing to determine whether the company is an outsourcing company.

2 Second, the boss himself is very greedy and harsh on his employees.

When I was still in the workplace, there was such a company upstairs in our company, and the boss was very harsh on employees, and he had to be fined for being late for work, and he had to be fined for doing something wrong, and everything was centered on fines, and employees were required to work overtime frequently.

What this boss has been unable to figure out is that the employees of our company are willing to work overtime voluntarily, and have visited our company several times.

The boss of this company likes to scold people, employees do wrong things to scold, meetings always like to criticize employees, scolding is still very fierce, there are personal attacks, sometimes we downstairs can't listen to it.

The owners of this company rarely reward their employees, especially reward money.

The boss of this company cares very much about the company's façade and the company's hardware facilities, and the company's decoration is much more high-end than our company.

The boss drives his own luxury car, and the salary he pays his employees is not up to the industry average, and he is overconfident in his own ability, and he does not treat his employees as living people.

Such a company is often not big, the company is the boss himself has the final say, in essence, it is still in the initial stage of career development, in fact, the company's profits are not high, the boss's personal ability is average, but also greedy, overly arrogant, in the distribution of benefits to employees is naturally very picky, squeezing employees is learning quickly.

When looking for a small or micro business, you must pay attention to understanding the way the company boss behaves and does things.

3 The third type is a parasitic company.

Such companies are often receiving orders for projects similar to ** or non-commercial organizations.

There is a very practical trick - go to the toilet. Toilets can expose everything about this company.

Toilets are dirty and smelly – high pressure, overtime, and deduction of provident fund.

The toilet is clean and stain-free – formal and efficient.

The toilet is clean and fragrant - good welfare and high sense of well-being.

If the bathroom is heated and the sink is stocked with perfume and hand cream mouthwash, a cleaner will go in to clean up the water as soon as you leave the bathroom. Then you don't even have to think about anything about the salary and benefits of this position, just consider the compatibility of the job content. Because even if the basic salary is lower, all kinds of benefits of clothing, food, housing and transportation will greatly save living expenses.

When you encounter this kind of turn, just go...

Many job-seeking graduates are a little hungry in the process of job hunting, and once they get an offer, they go. In a state of mind: "I'm here to learn things, it doesn't matter if I pit or not." ”

This is wrong, not to mention that this job will affect your happiness in the next 1-3 years, and regardless of the chips in your hand when you first change jobs and negotiate treatment. Just talking about the "growth" that graduates are most concerned about, and the business model of an enterprise that squeezes the value of employees, must not be as good as the business model of using one employee to allocate thousands of pounds. Therefore, in a platform with poor welfare, growth will be doubtful.

Therefore, graduates must be selective when choosing a job! List T1, T2, T3 for your candidates. When asked when he was hired, T1: If needed, this afternoon.

T2: There are still some things in the school, and I can start on the 1st of next month.

T3: If I can get an offer, I want to go back to my hometown and start around September 1st.

In order to create another buffer time for more priority offers.

So, if you don't know the order, the bathroom judgment method I Han Deyu will definitely be strong Amway!

First of all, a lot of the information obtained during the interview is fake. For example, the company's welfare is very good, publicly-funded travel - we have sand sculpture team building, we have a whole set of talent training system - take you to a day of worthless lessons, our goal is that every employee can afford to buy a house in Beijing, a while ago, there was an ordinary employee who bought a house in Beijing - this I listened to the interview when I graduated, and basically I gave up this company. I also saw a lot of people who used management trainees as a guise to recruit sales, saying that after 3 years, it would be a management post, but in fact, after 6 months, your relatives and friends were all developed, and then they were eliminated if they couldn't do it.

The interview is generally picked in the most glamorous corner of the company, and the interview language is also carefully prepared by manpower, all of which has a very unfair information asymmetry for the interviewer. If everything is likely to be fake, how can this company be judged?

A: Money doesn't deceive.

Now I'll ask you a question, your phone is broken, and you find that you need to replace a small capacitor, and then say that there is a dollar and a dime.

First of all, you should prepare well in advance before the interview, understand the interview process and roles, and try to learn as many methods and tools as possible in the group interview, such as brainstorming or communication skills.

Secondly, when introducing yourself and elaborating your own opinions, maintain confidence, feel free to boldly say your valid opinions, highlight your ideas and logic, but be careful not to express long-winded expressions and take up time. If you can come up with a feasible and different idea or solution, you will be more impressed by the interviewer.

Thirdly, in the most important group discussion session, it is the time period when HR observes your performance the most sharply. Silence or obsession with other members in their seats will only be forgotten by the team and the examiner, and candidates should speak enthusiastically. Winning in a group discussion is not just about the number of speeches, but also about convincing the rest of the group, not just the crowd, and blindly supporting or refuting others' views can also be detrimental.

Finally, leaderless group discussions mainly examine individual organizational skills, expression skills, logical thinking skills, and communication and cooperation skills, so teamwork is also a cornerstone of a good group interview.

In this case, Xiao Wang later realized his mistakes in the initial interview, and he listed his mistakes in the interview and analyzed: introverted personality, lack of self-confidence, lack of preparation for the interview, and dare not express his own opinions, which were the main reasons for his mistakes (self-analysis).

So he took advantage of the last semester before graduation to seize the opportunity of many famous companies to recruit from schools, and at the same time he would be fully prepared before each interview. Xiao Wang recognized his personality characteristics, so as to clarify his career goals, understand his needs and company requirements in both directions, and at the same time consult the advice of other students who have already taken the offer, and read books to exercise his thinking and logic ability (improve ability).

Xiao Wang finally passed an interview with a famous company and successfully got an offer from the company, giving him a perfect start in his career (finding a job).

In order to get better career development, you must prepare for the interview in advance, summarize the experience of interview failure, improve your self-ability, and try to avoid stepping on the thunder during the interview.

"Sweatshop" doesn't just mean labor intensity. Many large enterprises need "996", the work is very hard, but they are very respectful to their employees. It's scary to see companies that only treat their employees as machines.

The author has heard that the owner of a factory takes a stopwatch to pinch the time for employees, screws for a few seconds, seals the box for a few seconds, and deducts money for overtime, which is really squeezed to the extreme.

Many friends said: "I'm here to learn, I'm not afraid of hard work." "But the problem is that there are many companies in society that don't really care about your learning and growth, they just want to squeeze the value of your work, let alone care about employees.

1. Improve your technical ability and academic knowledge, and apply for some skilled positions, such as: finance, design, engineer, etc.
