Recently, the revelation about the working conditions of Chery Automobile's employees has attracted widespread attention from the society. According to a number of Chery employees, they need to work more than 20 hours of unpaid overtime a week, while the hourly wage is only 16 yuan, which leads to 70% of new employees choosing to leave soon after joining the company. Here's a detailed analysis of the incident:
1. Overtime is widespread and unpaid
1. Overtime hours
According to the news, there is a common overtime phenomenon within Chery Automobile, and employees generally work overtime for more than 20 hours per week. This overtime is not voluntary, but mandated by the company. An employee who works at Chery Automobile's headquarters in Wuhu said that their working hours are usually "896", that is, they start work at 8 a.m. and leave at 9 p.m., six days a week, and there is no guarantee of rest days on weekends.
2. Unpaid overtime
To make matters worse, these overtime hours are unpaid. Employees don't get any overtime pay or subsidies, and only get a 10 yuan meal allowance for dinner, which is much lower than the takeaway fee in the market. This practice of unpaid overtime not only violates the provisions of the labor law, but also seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of employees.
Second, the salary level is low
1. Hourly wage calculation
Some employees pointed out that their monthly salary is generally low, and even with the so-called "overtime pay" (which is actually meal allowance), the hourly wage is only about 16 yuan. This is extremely unreasonable compared to the salary levels of other companies in the market. A fresh graduate who will enter Chery Automobile in 2023 said that he worked a total of 120 hours of overtime in May, plus 174 hours of normal work, for a total of nearly 300 hours of work, but the salary received was only about 4,800 yuan, which was indeed only 16 yuan per hour.
2. The salary structure is not reasonable
In addition to the basic salary, Chery Automobile's salary structure also includes performance pay and other parts. However, these performance-based pay payments are often linked to overtime hours, forcing employees to work overtime to increase their earnings. This salary structure not only exacerbates the overtime burden of employees, but also leads to vicious competition and dissatisfaction among employees.
3. High turnover rate and brain drain
1. High turnover rate of new employees
Due to the above-mentioned unreasonable working conditions and salary levels, Chery Automobile's new employee turnover rate remains high. According to the revelations, 70% of new employees choose to leave shortly after joining the company. This not only increases the company's labor costs, but also affects the company's stability and development momentum.
2. Serious brain drain
In addition to new employees, some experienced old employees also choose to leave because they are dissatisfied with the working environment and salary package. This brain drain phenomenon not only weakens the company's technical strength and market competitiveness, but also affects the company's brand image and reputation.
Fourth, the company's attitude and the voice of employees
1. The company's attitude is indifferent
In the face of employee complaints and revelations, Chery Automobile's attitude was quite indifferent. The company doesn't seem to see any problems with this overtime and salary situation, and some people even say that "it doesn't matter if you do it or not, if you don't do it, someone else will do it". This attitude has undoubtedly exacerbated employee dissatisfaction and disappointment.
2. Employee voices
Employees have expressed their desire for the company to face up to the problem and take steps to improve it. They hope that the company can respect the legitimate rights and mental health of employees, arrange working hours and overtime hours reasonably, and improve salary and benefits. Only in this way can we stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of employees and inject new impetus into the development of the company.
5. Social repercussions and appeals
1. Strong social repercussions
This incident has aroused strong repercussions from all walks of life. Many people have expressed their indignation and dissatisfaction with Chery Automobile's approach, believing that the company should respect the legitimate rights and interests of employees and the fruits of their labor. At the same time, some people called on the relevant authorities to strengthen supervision and law enforcement to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of workers are protected.
2. Call for an improved working environment
In response to this incident, many people also called on companies to improve the working environment and conditions to create a more fair, just and dignified working environment for employees. Only in this way can we stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of employees, and improve the competitiveness and sustainable development of enterprises.
The incident of Chery Automobile's employees once again reminds us that the development of the enterprise is inseparable from the hard work and selfless dedication of employees. However, this dedication and dedication should be treated with the respect and reward it deserves. Enterprises should establish correct values and development concepts, respect the legitimate rights and interests of employees and their physical and mental health, and create a more fair, just and dignified working environment for employees. Only in this way can we achieve the win-win development of enterprises and employees.
