If technology is a new energy autonomous truck company under Great Wall Holdings, it belongs to the same sequence as Hive Energy, Unstable Energy, Xiandou Intelligence, Millima Zhixing, Salon Zhixing, etc. in the Great Wall system, and is the carrier of Great Wall Motor's transformation to new energy and intelligence.
Former employee: R&D department overtime is the most serious
Insiders: Industry 996/8-10-6 is the norm
The Labor Law stipulates that the daily working hours shall not exceed 8 hours, the average weekly working hours shall not exceed 44 hours, and if the employer needs to extend the working hours for special reasons, it shall not exceed 36 hours per month.
Relatives of former employees of Great Wall Motors told Red Star Capital Bureau, "Great Wall Motors adopts a large and small week mechanism, and has a double holiday every other week. Overtime is the norm, and leaving work after dark is the norm, generally working until after 8 p.m. Weekends and holidays also often work overtime, and the average monthly overtime per capita is more than 40 hours. In particular, the technical department often leaves work at 10 or 11 p.m. She stressed, "Many times overtime is 'voluntary'. ”
She recalls going to work at 9 a.m., leaving at 8 p.m., taking an hour off from lunch, working 24 days a month, working at least 48 hours of overtime each month. ”
Mr. Li, who entered Great Wall Motors through social recruitment in 2020, left his job in less than a year. "The R&D department has the most serious overtime situation, and when the construction period is urgent, the entire department goes to work at 8 o'clock, leaves work after 11 o'clock, and can only be transferred later on weekends." He told the Red Star Capital Bureau, "The task is there, and if you can't finish it, you can only take the initiative to work overtime, and the department leaders take the lead." ”
"I'm thankful for Great Wall Motors, I learned a lot in a year. But I want more than just a job, I have a life of my own. Thanks to the work experience of Great Wall Motors, Mr. Li easily jumped to another independent car brand, "but here is also 996." ”
Zhou Chun, a lawyer at Guangdong Guangrong Law Firm, pointed out to the Red Star Capital Bureau that "it is not illegal to voluntarily work overtime for more than 36 hours, and voluntary overtime here refers to the employee's voluntary extension of working hours without being arranged by the employer and without leaving any overtime records with the employer." ”
Some auto industry insiders told the Red Star Capital Bureau, "Not only Great Wall Motors, domestic car companies, battery factories 996, and even 8-10-6 are commonplace, most of them will give overtime returns, but compared to the Internet factory income is not much, some research and development posts do not have overtime wages, only performance." In particular, the low-level engineers work with high intensity and pressure. In addition, compared with the joint venture car companies, the overtime situation of independent brands is more serious. ”
It is understood that the competition of domestic car companies has intensified, while continuously increasing investment in research and development, the research and development cycle is also compressing, and overtime has become an important means of reducing costs and increasing efficiency. "There are several new models every year, and the auto show is like an exam, and when you open your eyes, you are dead. Technically, it must be at least the mainstream of the industry, one company has made new achievements, and the other companies must immediately follow. A new energy vehicle engineer told Red Star Capital Bureau, "New energy vehicles are in a critical period in the industry, and if they are not rolled up now, there may be no future for car companies." ”
