Acorn Business Review: What can you do with points?
Employee 2: Points are things to buy from Gree Mall.
However, Gree Mall is more expensive than other shopping software, and it is getting more expensive year by year, and star products such as air conditioners cannot be bought.
Employee 3's family members: The points are used to buy products, but the products in Gree Mall are sold at a premium of three times, and they are all unsalable refrigerators, air conditioners, and fans.
Last year, I issued 2,000 points and only bought a Gree cooling fan, worth 300 yuan. All other products are upside down.

Lower than the industry salary, no project bonuses
The resignation procedure takes six months
Acorn Business Review: How is your usual job?
Employee 1: Everyone knows that Gree's salary in the same industry is very low.
Performance is distributed according to rankings, and salaries are contracted and distributed independently for each department and even each department.
It can only be said that many people's efforts are not proportional to their income, and even the salary of ordinary employees in some functional units is higher than that of the technical department.
Acorn Business Review: Are there any cases of old employees changing jobs or quitting their jobs?
Employee 3's family members: It is more difficult to leave the company. I know that the old employee who has worked for about 5 years will not let him go until he submits his resignation for half a year, and he will not be paid a project bonus during this period, but only a basic salary.
