According to Interface Express on April 18, on the occasion of the largest layoff in Tesla's history, Musk said in an email to employees: "In the process of our restructuring of Tesla, I noticed that some severance payments were unreasonably low. I apologize for the mistake. We are making immediate corrections. ”
It is reported that Tesla's compensation for the "N+3" compensation for the Chinese employees who were laid off is higher than the prescribed "N+1" compensation standard.
In this case, Musk also believes that the severance pay is unreasonably low, which has also attracted great attention and heated discussions among netizens.
Some netizens commented: Layoffs in foreign-funded enterprises are generally N+3, and those in China are N+1.
Some netizens said that Musk: Please treat Chinese companies well to their compatriots!
As netizens said, Musk did say that Chinese "treat their compatriots well", and also believed that the salary level of employees at Tesla's Shanghai factory was still the lowest in the world, which made him feel very guilty.
Some netizens expressed opposition.
To get back to the point, in today's globalization and the increasing development of the market economy, entrepreneurs should not be reduced to capitalists who simply pursue personal interests. Entrepreneurs have a huge energy, their actions and decisions have a profound impact on society, and their sense of social responsibility is no longer limited to generating profits, but should also be committed to improving the remuneration of employees and contributing to social stability.
Compared with spending a lot of capital and energy on marketing the company's reputation, it is easier to gain people's favor by increasing employee compensation. Employee salary level is a direct reflection of the entrepreneur's sense of social responsibility, imagine if a person is very stingy with his employees who work hard, then he will still want to benefit the public?
Taking a step back, companies can not only provide reasonable compensation to ensure the basic living needs of employees, but also improve their motivation and loyalty. Moreover, increasing salaries can attract and retain talents, enhance the innovation ability and market competitiveness of enterprises, and thus improve the overall competitiveness of enterprises. Caring for employees is also crucial for the sustainable development of their own business.
A socially responsible entrepreneur should increase the salary of employees in his own enterprise, after the salary of employees is high, they will purchase various assets in order to improve the living standards of their families, so as to promote the consumption level of the society and increase taxes, which is also a way for enterprises to give back to social responsibility.
There are too few entrepreneurs like Musk in this world, and there are too many entrepreneurs like Huang Shiren and Zhou Papi.
