BEIJING, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- "Those who can get N+1 compensation are all lucky. "N+2, the boss is true benevolence."
"Today it was laid off, and the company lost N+1." A K12 (abbreviation for preschool to high school education) off-campus training practitioner posted on social platforms, which attracted the envy of many peers: this company is really "refreshing".
"We are N+2", an employee of ByteDance's Vigorous Education confirmed, "Many tutors have been laid off, involving Qingbei Online School, Guagualong Enlightenment and other products."
"ByteDance's education sector did lay off employees and paid N+2; some businesses have not shut down and are making adjustments." On the 5th, informed sources told China News Network that ByteDance's education sector was not all cut.

Since the release of the "double reduction" policy on July 24, the off-campus training industry is ushering in the drastic changes in the future.
"I was still working normally the day before, the wind and waves were calm, and I was forced to resign the next day." Bun Zi (pseudonym), who has just left the head of education, said.
Last year, when the development of off-campus training was still in full swing, the education branch where buns were located was established in September 2020, "On August 1, we were suddenly called to a meeting by the director, talked about the new policy, and told us to reduce the basic salary, and if we did not meet the task target, we would deduct the basic salary." "We all took the initiative, so there is no compensation."
"Many people are forced to change jobs, some people are reluctant to transfer their jobs, the company just does not have to compensate, saving an expense," Xiaoxue (pseudonym), who works in a local center in Gaotu, told China News Network, she felt that this was a disguised layoff.
Some people can't stand to go away, and some people hope to get compensation and leave, but not everyone gets what they want.
"Yesterday I also guaranteed that the compensation plan has N+1, and today I will change my mouth to nothing, which is equivalent to naked words." Some employees of The Gaotu Group's local centers complained on social platforms, and employees and supervisors even broke out in the group, and the work group was dissolved.
"I have a special affection for Gao Tu, watching my partners aggrieved, crying, and unwilling to leave, and my heart is very uncomfortable." Xiaoxue said.
However, an HR from the Beijing headquarters of Gaotu Group told China News Network, "On Saturday, I helped to do a day's departure, all of them are ordinary tutors, all of them have N+1." ”
"The core position N+1 should have, sales, tutors, those who have a large number, it is estimated that it is more difficult, can not afford to lose, and many are outsourced personnel." An executive at a K12 off-campus training company was so frank about the current layoffs.

Behind the gaotu resignation dispute, "the core motivation is to live." According to media reports, Chen Xiangdong, the founder of Gaotu Group, explained the "layoffs" in a letter from all employees late at night on July 30.
It is reported that a few days ago, Chen Xiangdong called a meeting of management and set a layoff target, involving tens of thousands of people. After Gaotu reduces its primary and junior high school business, its business focus will shift to high school and adult vocational education, and Gaotu's 15 local centers across the country will only leave shanghai, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, Taiyuan and Beijing headquarters.
On August 4, Chen Xiangdong did not respond to the specific number of layoffs in an interview with the media, saying that "when the business environment and operating model change, internal adjustments become inevitable, such as the number of tutor positions that are biased towards the front end must be reduced." ”
In the whirlpool of the storm, the large-scale organizational restructuring of Gaotu is only a microcosm of the industry.
A few days ago, the head of education was even rumored to be closed, and Zhang Yi, the founder of the head education, had to refute the rumors in the circle of friends, "increase the investment in quality education, and have to send off some business partners." He also advised the rumor-mongers to "not fall into the well."
Once upon a time, driven by capital support, the off-campus training industry soared. Nowadays, under the chaos of heavy blows, or transformation, or divestiture, or complete withdrawal from the market, is the choice faced by off-campus training enterprises. (End)
