It’s Saturday, so I’ll ramble with you for a few cents.
The news that impressed me most today is that Yu Donglai asked on his personal jitterbug that Fat Donglai employees should not receive or send bride price, not rely on their parents to buy a house or a car, and that the marriage should not be ostentatious, and the wedding table should not be more than 5 tables. Employees who violate the rules will be canceled employee benefits.
This thing before and after has dominated two or three days network hot search, different people in the see Yu Donglai’s comments have different reactions, there are support and opposition, there are questioning the reasonable legality of Yu Donglai’s move, there are also spit on his meddling.
Before I comment on this, let me give you two things that struck me about Yu Donglai’s person.
The first is a media report from 1996, when China and the U.S. were in the most tense period of the Taiwan Strait crisis, Yu Donglai and his brother ran to Beijing, found the relevant government organizations, and took the initiative to donate 20,000 yuan to support the country’s construction of aircraft carriers. At that time, Yu Donglai was not a big boss, just running a tobacco store, 20,000 yuan for the aircraft carrier, but for him is not a small amount of money.
The second thing is that Yu Donglai some time ago in the live broadcast about the development of the enterprise, grateful to the staff’s contribution to the enterprise, talking about their own feelings can not help themselves, weeping.
From these two things can feel that he is a very emotional, but also very idealistic type of person, that is, such a person can run a fat Donglai this kind of not quite according to common sense, quite humane business.
Fat Donglai on the network fire out of the circle because of the high treatment of employees, annual vacation 150 days, 90% of the company’s profits back to the employees, employees in addition to the starting salary is significantly higher than the counterparts, in the New Year’s festivals, weddings and funerals, there are a variety of red packets. Liu Qiangdong called his own staff brother may just say, Yu Donglai looks really like the staff as a family.
With that background in mind, you can flip back and look at the out-of-the-ordinary demands he makes on his employees’ personal lives and understand that this is the ramblings of an emotional boss after his emotions get the best of him.
For example, for something as private as the bride price for the next hire, why would the boss know about it if the employee didn’t take the initiative to provoke the report? Of course employees will not take the initiative to tear down their bosses and embarrass them, they will just do it silently, but a manager who makes a high-profile announcement about a new rule that can neither be investigated nor regulated is, in my opinion, just talking gibberish without a brain.
One hundred steps back, if Yu Donglai really found out that the staff violated his personal will and penalized them for it, I think the corporate image of Fat Donglai as a caring company that had previously been established on the Internet will suffer a heavy blow, which will then lead to a public relations disaster.
……
Putting aside the reality, I also disagree with the several “suggestions” made by Mr YU Donglai.
First of all, I am not opposed to the bride price, for the simple reason that in the current fact of marriage, men and women are not equal, and the woman sacrifices more than the man for her married family, so the bride price as a kind of financial compensation is justified. Even the local government knows that it is a social consensus that the money to encourage marriage should be given to the woman and not to the man.
As for the wedding waste, in fact, and the number of tables has little to do with, most families invite guests are well thought out, either recycled red envelopes, or close friends and relatives, 5 tables in the current social norms may not be enough. Wedding extravagance and waste lies in the unreasonable table food, according to my observation wedding dishes are eaten half of the leftover half, mainly because many Chinese people think that the invitation to dinner to finish the dishes will appear to the host family stingy, no face.
There is also the purchase of a house and car do not rely on parents, which is also very detached from reality. Competition in modern society are family-based unit, the choice of this matter does not lie in the employee to chew the old, but the parents of the employees want to help their children, they are willing if the boss simply can not control, and can not be penalized because of this employee, no logic and no reason.
In short, it is good for the boss to have a human touch, but do not be too heavy dad taste, and there should still be a sense of boundaries between the staff, do not really manage the staff are like a son.
……
Weekend article is actually to take the opportunity to talk about social hotspots to communicate the three views, so that new readers gradually understand and familiar with the blogger is a kind of person, of course, you can refute can also criticize me, after all, like today’s discussion of these things belong to the personal preference, there is no clear right and wrong.
Finally, I lamented a sentence, the past few days the big cake in 99000 stopped, but the bottom of the cottage cake is too able to rise, often 24 hours 20-30%, dazzling, this is to the main ascending wave of the swarm of demons, or is it the climax of the feast of the carnival …
I said last night that the end of the year to send red packets, but the amount is not determined, see what happens in December, earn more send a little, earn less send a little, anyway, certainly 6 figures, I have a slight surplus this year, to be happy with everyone.
