"I'm going to fire you illegally, I can't control it!" The words came out of the mouth of a female executive, and everyone was taken aback. A corporate manager, a decision-maker representing the interests of the company, completely ignores the law and wantonly tramples on the rights and interests of employees. This undoubtedly poked at the sore spot of all the migrant workers and made people feel the helplessness of empathy. Why is she so arrogant? We need to reflect on the problem at a deeper level.
The reason for the incident is very simple, the female executive faced the employee's questioning and took a tough attitude to fire the other party. This was originally within the scope of the company's power to lay off employees on its own, but the female executives completely ignored the legal procedures and compensation, and insisted on "illegal dismissal". What's even more incredible is that under the questioning of employees, she confidently said: I have this power, you can't control it, it will only make you unemployed.
We are shocked that a corporate manager, a decision-maker representing the interests of the company and its shareholders, can be so unbounded. This is clearly beyond the bottom line of normal business decisions. But we also need to be rational and not necessarily target a particular person, but to reflect on where such phenomena come from.
At a deeper level, this reflects some of the common problems in the operation mode of enterprises in the mainland's multi-layer agency system: higher-level decision-makers often control a large amount of resources, forming a power disparity with low-level employees. This is precisely the mentality that can easily breed and trample on the interests of "little people".
