At the end of the year, the annual meeting became the last expectation of the workers. While looking forward to winning the jackpot, you also have to bear the crushing of other people's annual meetings. Workers often sour into lemon essence.
The protagonist who can be envied by others is naturally a top-notch enterprise in various fields. The PK of the annual meeting has instantly become a duel of the strength of the big factory, and the company's performance is not good or can still be performed.
However, have you noticed that the sound of this year's annual meeting of the big factories is not small.
This year's annual meeting of the big factory is quiet
At the end of December, some netizens questioned, "This year, the Internet manufacturers are not holding annual meetings?" ”
In the past, the news of the year-end welfare of large factories was overwhelming. Whether true or false, it can play a publicity effect and highlight the pattern of large companies. Employees in the staff are even more happy to share, attracting how many people want to go to the big factory.
This year, however, it seems to be a bit deserted, and only Tencent has issued an announcement to send stocks. Why don't you discuss it?
It is understood that large factories, including Ali, Baidu, Byte, NetEase, etc., have not yet held the news of the group-type annual meeting. Some large companies have also transferred online "cloud annual meetings", such as Tencent, Gaotu and so on.
Previously, Lenovo was exposed to plan to charter an annual meeting at Universal Studios Beijing, and it could also bring family members, becoming the most arrogant of the many big factories. However, due to the impact of the latest epidemic, the charter was ultimately unable to make the trip.
Some insiders told Yijian Finance (ID: ejfinance) that since the epidemic, the annual meeting of the Internet industry has basically disappeared. Like Douyu and Tencent, the previous large-scale annual meetings have been cancelled, and Tencent has only held a small one in the management. Affected by a certain top game, Tencent's game department as a whole is not very good, and the year-end bonus may also be affected. NetEase, which does not like to hold an annual meeting, does not even have a dinner. However, there are also companies that resist pressure to issue year-end awards, such as Didi.
Not only is there no annual meeting, but some companies are already reducing benefits and even laying off employees.
According to media reports, NetEase's afternoon tea standard has been reduced, from full of desserts and hi tea, etc., to ordinary puffs. Similarly, Kuaishou announced through internal emails that it would cancel afternoon tea and free meals, and also narrowed the scope of people who apply to rental subsidies. More Baidu employees revealed that the year-end award was issued at the end of March, which was delayed by two months than before.
Some time ago, the news of layoffs in large factories came out frequently, known as the Internet layoffs.
Some employees broke the news and media reported that more than 300 people in Baidu's game department were almost all laid off, and the live broadcast business was laid off by 90%; kuaishou's international layoffs reached 30%, and the overall layoffs reached 10%-15%; iQiyi's layoff ratio was between 20% and 40%, and almost all of some departments were laid off; JD.com, Byte, and Youzan were no exception.
Internet manufacturers caught in the "cold winter" may be weak in year-end welfare. The best outcome is that workers will not be laid off, and rewards are even more extravagant.
The annual meeting PK was many years ago
Looking back at the annual meeting of the big factory that year, it can be described as quite lively.
Ma Yun cos punk Van Jackson, Robin Li fights sub drums, Ma Huateng dances the girl group dance. The big guys do their best to make employees feel the kindness and vitality of the boss, and also bring unlimited entertainment to the majority of netizens.
In addition to the performances, the annual meeting gifts and bonuses are also unambiguous.
In 2017, coinciding with the 18th anniversary of Ali, Ali directly brought Ali people from all over the world to Hangzhou to participate in the annual meeting. More than 100 flights, 32 high-speed trains, 1,700 buses, more than 100 hotels have been prepared for this purpose... The annual meeting lottery includes 18 double 11 empty shopping carts (100,000 yuan cap), 102 family travel funds of 10,000 yuan, etc.
In 2019, Ali held the 20th anniversary annual meeting at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center, with as many as 60,000 people on the scene. On the same day, Ma Yun announced his resignation as chairman of Ali and gave each Ali employee a bottle of "talking sparkling wine". The bottle also shows his projection.
According to the revelations of Ali employees in 2020, his rank is P6, the year-end bonus is more than 340,000 points, the salary increase is 4,000, and 520 stocks, and the market value at that time is about 750,000.
To hold annual meetings and performances, the most professional is Tencent. At the 2018 Annual Meeting and the 2020 New Year Party, Tencent directly invited huang Xiaoming, Hu Xia, R1SE, Rocket Girl 101, Sun Yanzi and other stars to help, and the lineup was comparable to the concert.
In terms of welfare, in 2019, Tencent Cloud completed 10 billion yuan in revenue, and the company issued an iPhone 11 Pro to all tencent cloud employees, with a value of 8600 yuan to 11,000 yuan. There are also employees who broke the news that the WeChat pay team won the company's founder award, there are 200 million, and the team's per capita bonus is 200,000, which does not include the year-end award.
The special prize of the Beijing branch of the Tencent Annual Meeting was the Apple family barrel, which included a four-piece set of mobile phones, tablets, watches and headphones. The annual meeting of the WeChat team is also an iPhone X.
Sending stocks is also a tradition of Tencent. According to media reports, in 2021, Tencent gave 100 shares of stock to employees who made special contributions, which was equivalent to about 61,000 yuan according to the stock price at that time.
In addition to Ali and Tencent, before the epidemic, the year-end welfare index of the big factories was very high.
At the end of 2018, the early employees of Douyin received a year-end bonus of 20 months' salary. According to media reports, Ren Lifeng, the head of Douyin at the time, got a salary of 100 months.
At the 2019 Sina Annual Meeting, the grand prize was 2,000 shares of Sina stock, worth 770,000 yuan at the stock price at that time. In the same year, Xiaomi's special prize was Xiaopeng Automobile, worth 165,800 yuan, a total of 21 vehicles.
On the other hand, this year, it is rare to see large factories explicitly distribute benefits in some form, revealing only a few news.
Acting in a low profile has become the norm of the big factory
The annual meeting of the big factory has been inadvertently dispersed. Since the pandemic, less gathering has become a code of conduct for everyone. Following the initiative of not organizing annual meetings, festivals and other activities as much as possible, the atmosphere of year-end celebrations is naturally reduced.
However, according to the analysis of Internet industry observers, in fact, even if there is no impact of the epidemic, in the case of stricter external supervision and bottlenecks in internal growth, the annual meeting of Internet companies "celebration banquet" may be difficult to reproduce in the short term.
2021 is known as the big year of anti-monopoly, strengthening anti-monopoly and preventing the disorderly expansion of capital is one of the key tasks, and the company faces stricter supervision. In this context, the business expansion of some large manufacturers will be more cautious and prudent, the performance is slightly sluggish, and "cost reduction and efficiency increase" and "open source and cost reduction" have become the keywords of their development.
Burdened with a lot of growth pressure, it is reasonable that the voice of the annual meeting will be reduced.
In addition, the big factories are so low-key, but also under the guidance of the common goal of prosperity, they choose to let the annual meeting and the dazzling rewards of showing off their wealth be avoided in time. The year-end reward is no longer an exposed state, but is carried out quietly, and the workers are in harmony.
The general environment has changed, and this year, it seems that the big factories dare not and cannot be as dry as in the past.
