As the founder of Alibaba and the originator of China's e-commerce, Jack Ma was regarded as the pride of the nation by many young Chinese before 2012.
It is precisely because of Alibaba's efforts that many of China's digital and intelligent public services can be quickly implemented in such a short period of time, successfully creating today's digital China.
But as the saying goes, there are unpredictable storms in the sky.
It is such a "civilian idol" that was once loved by many people, but in recent years, the reputation has been reduced by an avalanche, and many people have changed their previous worship emotions and used words to attack Ma Yun, so what is the reason why the former "Ali Daddy" has become the target of today's public criticism?
Inspirational success stories
Speaking of Ma Yun, it must be inseparable from the two words inspirational.
In the past, Ma Yun was a proper inspirational model, from a person who failed the college entrance examination and took the exam three times to be able to go to college, to becoming a billionaire, providing an online shopping platform for so many small and medium-sized enterprises throughout China, and also broadening the channels of consumption for our consumers, hitting the traditional market that was originally full of black box operations in one fell swoop, so that many people got benefits.
Although Ma Yun's origin is better than the average person in comparison, his father Ma Laifa is the chairman of the Zhejiang Quyi Association, but for Ma Yun at that time, the family relationship did not bring much convenience to Ma Yun, at least in the matter of participating in the college entrance examination three times did not reflect it.
The reason why he fell off the list is also very poor, but Ma Yun's foreign language is notoriously good, and this also laid the foundation for Ma Yun's glory in the future.
Although Ma Yun lost consecutively in the college entrance examination, but fortunately, the heavens still let him successfully enter the university, and with his good English strength, Ma Yun even got the opportunity to visit abroad, you know, this thing at that time in China was not much people can do, and the experience of going to the United States also completely changed Ma Yun's life.
In the United States, Ma Yun saw the charm of the Internet, and saw the foreign veteran e-commerce brand "EBAY", its unique shopping model left a very deep impression on Ma Yun, so Ma Yun then returned to China to create the Internet company "China Yellow Pages".
In the days that followed, Ma and other partners worked together to develop the "Yellow Pages of China" into "Alibaba", and at the same time opened up the e-commerce industry, becoming the leading boss of China's Internet companies in one fell swoop.
Profit-seeking "face"
In a speech by Ma Yun, there was a mention of such a sentence, "996 is a blessing", so that Ma Yun completely fell into the mouth and pen of the whole network, and his own image also plummeted, from the previous inspirational model, to become the "Weekly Peel" of the new era in the eyes of all workers.
"Blessing" refers to 996 is a blessing for young people, which is a sentence that Ma Yun said in an internal exchange. Talking about the overtime culture of 996, Ma Yun said in an internal exchange:
"I think it's a blessing for us that The Chinese BAT company is now able to work overtime at 996."
"In this world, each of us wants to succeed, to live a better life, to be respected. I ask you, if you don't spend more time and effort than others, how do you get the success you want?"
These words seem very reasonable at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, they are hidden in evil intentions, and we need to recognize that we work in the company because we have signed a labor contract with the company, and we have done enough work for the company in exchange for our labor remuneration, which is a contractual relationship.
Although it is said that our work requires hard work and diligence, but this must be based on a suitable labor relationship, otherwise we are doing extremely heavy work, but we get less money than anyone else.
Ma Yun's remarks seem to motivate you to work hard and get the life you want through struggle, but this is actually a cover-up of the essence of squeezing labor.
If you want to struggle, then please speak on the basis of satisfying the equivalent workload and the remuneration for the work, otherwise it is not convincing.
Protecting labor rights is imperative
The Labour Code was adopted in July 1994 and came into force in January 1995.
At the time, the law was also considered epoch-making. Today's Employment Contract Law is really just a subsidiary law to the Labor Code.
In terms of the protection of workers, the Labor Law is comprehensive and very strict, but in reality, the Labor Law does not effectively protect the rights and interests of workers, which is a well-known fact.
Later, we had to try to introduce internationally recognized labor standards such as SA8000, factory inspections, etc. to inquire about management, but the truth is that all international labor standards do not exceed the protection of labor laws. To some extent, non-compliance with the Labour Code has become widespread.
Professor Zhang Shuguang, a well-known economist, mentioned in previous labor dialogues that the number of labor dispute cases in China is growing at a rate of 30% per year, and 70% - 80% of petitioning cases are related to old cases.
However, less than 10% of labour dispute cases are litigated due to difficulties in obtaining legal remedies. Lawyer Duan Yi also believes that the current process of handling labor disputes is very long, and the one-year litigation is only to get what it should have been a year ago, and the workers simply cannot afford it.
Therefore, strengthening the protection of the rights and interests of workers, formulating labor laws, striving to sign labor contracts, breaking the unspoken rules of the workplace to protect white-collar workers, and improving the survival status of white-collar workers are the most important and most important things for contemporary workers, and this is also conducive to the general trend of gradual standardization of the mainland market.
epilogue
From the national father to the accusations of everyone, Ma Yun's reputation has completed such a big change in just a few years.
Behind this is also the awakening of workers' awareness of rights and the renewal of the core cognition of the capital market, only by respecting workers and respecting market laws can we win the praise of workers.
This incident is not so much the collapse of Ma Yun's reputation as a large-scale awakening of social consciousness, a sign of the opening of the people's wisdom, which is of unparalleled significance to the workers, and also a very clear wake-up call for those unscrupulous enterprises that pursue interests and do not pay attention to social responsibility.
Thank you for watching, paying attention to me, and learning more wonderfully!
