The per capita dividend is 550,000 yuan?
On February 6, Huawei released Document No. 1 of the Board of Directors Secretaries, announcing the 2023 annual dividend plan: ESOP dividend of RMB 1.5 per share. As Huawei is a 100% employee-owned private enterprise.
Huawei's total share capital is currently about 51.3 billion shares. According to the estimate of 142315 people participating in the dividend by the end of 2022, this dividend needs to pay 51.39 billion * 1.5 = 77.085 billion yuan to employees. According to the calculation of 142315 employees, the average person can get close to 550,000 yuan, which can be described as the envy of others, and the news has also triggered many media reports.
However, recently, a suspected Huawei employee on Zhihu posted a complaint about this, saying, "People who don't understand outside blow everywhere, and they are scolded miserably on the internal forum." ”
The Zhihu netizen said that with the big sales of the Mate 60 series in the second half of 2023 and the sale of new nova series machines with higher profit margins, employees have extremely high expectations for this year's dividend data. But in the end, the dividend per share in 2023 will only be 1.5 yuan, which is also the lowest in the past three years, and lower than the 1.58 yuan per share dividend in 2021, which was the most difficult after the sanctions.
Secondly, Huawei's internal income gap is very large, with 360,000 shares per capita, and the dividend data of 550,000 yuan is meaningless. There is an upper limit on the number of shares allotted by Huawei at each level, and the time for employees to issue shares for the first time is about three years after they join the company, and different numbers of shares are allocated according to performance, usually 2-60,000 shares at a time. New employees who have been in the company for less than three years are difficult to allot shares unless they are very good, and most of the employees around them for three years do not have stocks. If you want to get 360,000 shares of average value stocks, you basically need level 18 (13-15 levels for bachelor's and master's degrees and 16 levels for doctors), and many level 17 old employees do not have 300,000 shares. The average employee can be promoted to level 17 after 8 years of employment, and level 18 is a threshold, either an expert, a project manager, or a leader. Assuming that an employee is allotted shares for the first time three years after joining the company, based on the calculation of allocating 50,000 shares per year, it is basically a 10-year-old employee who can get 350,000 shares. That is to say, the company's main workforce 15-17 level employees simply cannot reach this average, and 13-14 level employees basically have 0 allotments. What's more, since the past few years, in order to reduce costs and increase efficiency, various departments have recruited a large number of outsourcing, and they have no stocks.
In addition, even if you can get the shares, they are not granted for free, but the employee spent 7.85 yuan per share plus giving up annual leave to buy them back.

It is worth noting that on Huawei's internal forum, the Voice of the Heart Community, some Huawei employees complained that they had not reached the average dividend after working at Huawei for 10 years, and I had to reflect. ”
