Unexpectedly, a Chinese human resources director would teach Musk a lesson. However Maas
After communicating with the human resources director, he sent out a soul torture question: Why can you be ruthless and ruthless to your compatriots to such an extent? This human resources director opened up Musk's cognition and shattered his three views, what is going on.
You may not know that in the early days of Musk's Tesla Motors project, it was not all smooth sailing. Because of the shortage of energy supply and the lack of production capacity, it was once in a difficult state. It wasn't until 2018 that the Tesla project was introduced in Shanghai, China, and the Shanghai Tesla Gigafactory was quickly established, and it took only one year from construction to production, which allowed Musk to see the efficiency and professionalism of Chinese workers.
After the factory was completed, he believed that the work of Chinese workers deserved to be rewarded accordingly, so he gave a basic salary far above the market average, and there was no shortage of benefits such as five insurances and one housing fund, annual leave, and year-end bonuses. The Chinese workers did not disappoint him, and after the factory was put into operation, Tesla's production capacity crisis was quickly resolved, and the global car deliveries were quickly completed, which once again surprised and appreciated Musk, who repeatedly praised the Chinese workers on various occasions for their professionalism and level of work.
However, one day, a senior HR with more than 10 years of experience in human resource management in China came to the interview and told Musk that he could reduce the cost of Tesla's factory by nearly 10 billion per year. This HR confidently gave two plans. First, he said that Musk's basic salary for workers is too high, far exceeding the average level of his domestic counterparts, which will make workers content with the status quo and have no passion and motivation to work. He suggested that Musk reduce the basic salary of workers and use the savings as overtime pay for workers. In this way, in order to get higher wages, workers will consciously work overtime, without more expenditure costs, will obtain greater production capacity, and help the company get more revenue.
Hearing this, Musk frowned, saying that this kind of oppression of employees, so that employees do not have their own time to live their own lives, to accompany their families, to fall in love, who will continue to stay in such a company? HR said, this is not to worry, the most important thing in China is labor, he doesn't do it, and a lot of people are lining up behind to do it. Musk was silent and motioned for HR to continue. The HR said that the second plan is that the company does not sign a contract directly with the employee, but cooperates with the labor dispatch company, so that only the corresponding fee needs to be paid to the labor company, and the employee's insurance, welfare, bonus and other aspects can save a lot of money. And if something goes wrong, the labor company can also be held responsible.
Hearing this, Musk couldn't help but raise his voice and said: Your two plans, where is the cost of saving 10 billion, isn't this to squeeze 10 billion blood and sweat from workers? HR said disapprovingly, isn't this normal, our factories do this, I summarize my experience in many large enterprises for so many years for your reference. Musk is completely angry, I don't need such an experience like yours. Is this how you treat your compatriots? The workers work hard for my factory, and if I can't even guarantee their wages, bonuses, and benefits, what's the point of making more money? In the end, Musk naturally did not take the HR's suggestion and immediately asked him to leave.
In Musk's eyes, it is the hard work of many employees that has made their careers, and their careers are focused on the long-term progress and development of mankind, rather than personal short-term interests. Recently, Tesla laid off 10% of its global workforce, which is not a good thing, but in China, N+3 compensation and 48-hour payment have caused heated discussions, and it has been praised as a "conscientious enterprise". Indeed, in comparison, some domestic companies are much "smarter", not to mention N+1, directly give you a few months of leave and only pay the basic salary, and the employee will be forced to leave the job, and the compensation is 0. Musk said that the layoffs were a last resort, but Chinese employees deserved to be treated as they deserved. What do you think about this?
