Why has the issue of the 996 working system been heated up recently? Did Ma Yun and Liu's enterprises implement the 996 working system? Let's analyze these problems one by one.
"Landlord and farmer" and "capitalist and worker" are contradictory interests. Although the relationship between boss and employees is much better than in the past, there is still ambivalence in the choice of interests.
Personally, Ma Yun's talk about the 996 working system is asking for directions, or it seems to be a bit sounding the water. If there is no response or strong reaction at the social level, these corporate giants will take the lead. The knot was strongly resisted by public opinion, and the People's Daily also made a strong voice.
So Ma Yun had no choice but to make excuses and find himself a downhill road! As for how to defend, there is no need to go into details here. Everyone has seen it online.
So why does the People's Daily speak? Because the 996 working system conflicts with the national Labor Law, it has nothing to do with the national development trend.
The state advocates spending, leisure, annual leave and other holiday ways, which is also stimulating economic development. You have to have a 996 or 997 or something, which is not in line with the development pattern of the country.
Of course, it is not in the interests of the staff, and it has a great negative impact and should not be promoted!
So, can Ma Yun and Liu's enterprises realize the 996 working system? Do you know that?/You know what? Everybody knows? !
Liu is a "big mouth" and "three kinds of people". He enforced the internal documents of the 996 working system and offended the whole Internet industry.
Everyone knows that online overtime is normal, but everyone doesn't know that it is an open secret of the industry and that it violates the labor law. They also tacitly don't mention this problem. As long as they pay enough overtime, employees will not go to the company to make trouble.
Liu stirred up a hornet's nest, rightfully publicized the 996 work system with great fanfare, and enforced it, without overtime pay, which was equivalent to leaking the secrets of the Internet industry to the public.
It has caused public outrage and has been dissatisfied with the high salary, high welfare and high treatment of the Internet industry. I finally got a chance to vent my dissatisfaction. How could I miss this opportunity?
Ma Yun would rather be scolded than mention that the 996 working system is a blessing, that is, he speaks for the Internet industry, because he is the president of the Internet industry in China and has the responsibility to defend the 996 working system.
However, Ma Yun is very emotional, saying that working in 996 is a blessing, but it can't be enforced, so he points the finger at Liu and makes Liu a public enemy of the industry.
Until Liu publicly admitted that Jingdong Logistics had a loss of 2.8 billion yuan, and the financing was only enough for two years, he had to start from his brothers and save money to survive.
That means JD. COM's financial situation is not optimistic, no one wants to vote for JD.COM, and JD.COM can only take self-help actions, otherwise it won't last two years.
Liu made another mistake. He can't disclose the company's financial situation, which will cause great losses to employees, because you told him that the money is only enough for two years.
Let's start with the conclusion, not just 996.
In the rules and regulations of domestic-funded enterprises in China, the working day is generally 9 hours (excluding lunch break 1 hour, that is, working 8 hours a day). Generally, state-owned enterprises or institutions have more than enough working hours, and you may still have plenty of time to read newspapers, make tea and drink tea; However, Internet companies have many jobs and tight tasks. Can you finish it? What if I can't finish it? Overtime. The boss didn't let you work overtime. You can't do it by yourself. Of course you need to work overtime.
Alibaba, headquartered in Hangzhou, grew a building almost overnight, and most of them were working overtime, especially technicians. It's amazing to catch up with online systems, bugs and double 1 1. 6 * 24 hours is fine. Technicians must be on standby at all times, and the mobile phone is turned on 24 hours a day. Once the system alarm fault occurs, it must be solved in time. Coupled with the performance score and the pressure of work and business, don't you work overtime? Don't you want a year-end bonus for working all year round?
JD.COM, headquartered in Yizhuang, of course, has an 8-hour working system, but you are a little far from the company, and the general distance must be twenty or thirty kilometers. Coupled with the famous congestion in the imperial city, I work at least 3 hours a day. It is best for the company to get off work at 6 pm and start at 7 pm, so I ask you if you are satisfied? Recently, the situation in JD.COM is very complicated. People are worried because executives keep leaving their jobs. If they don't want to be laid off and leave their jobs voluntarily, then show themselves well. Every day plus the time on the road, the conservative estimate is 13 hours, and going to work every day is like a day of war.
"996" working system, that is, nine to nine, working six days a week. ICU refers to the intensive care unit. 996.ICU, this is a self-deprecating statement among programmers, which means that if you work in "996" mode, you will enter the ICU in the future.
In response to the "996" phenomenon that caused heated discussion, Internet cafes have joined the discussion. Some netizens even summed up a lightning protection list of Internet 996 company, which caused a heated discussion for a time.
On April 1 1, Ma Yun talked about his views on "996" in Alibaba's internal communication activities. "This is a controversial topic, but we must express our true thoughts." On June 5438+02, Alibaba officially shared Ma Yun's views on the hot topic "996" in Ali's internal exchange activity "Partners have an appointment". "Ma Yun's idea is also being discussed by young people in our company. We think it is useful to everyone and share it with you here. "
After Ma Yun, Liu and He also joined the discussion. How do entrepreneurs view "996"? Let's take a look together.
The voice of entrepreneurs
Ma Yun updates Weibo:
"Don't defend 996 but pay tribute to the strugglers!"
19 At 6pm on April 2nd, Ma Yun updated Weibo. He wrote: "I had an exchange with my colleagues in Alibaba last night and talked about the hottest job 996 issue at present. Today, many young people are facing this problem. I think, if you choose to win your happiness and success through hard work, you can seriously think about my following words; But if you want your future to be happier than ordinary people, but you are not willing to pay the price of working harder than ordinary people, then those words that are legal, reasonable and always correct are more suitable for you. If necessary, I will also talk about that, and I will speak it very well! But I think young people should have a chance to hear the truth. No company should and cannot force employees. Alibaba has always advocated serious life and happy work! But young people themselves should understand that happiness is a struggle! Do not defend 996, but pay tribute to the strugglers! "
"In this world, each of us wants success, a better life and respect. I want to ask you, if you don't make efforts and time to surpass others, how can you achieve the success you want? " In Weibo updated by Ma Yun, I also attached the full text of my speech at Alibaba's internal exchange activities on April 1 1.
In internal communication, Ma Yun also talked about a series of topics such as how young people in Alibaba grow up, how to realize their ideals, and how to make more contributions to society through public welfare.
Liu's circle of friends voiced:
"To be responsible for 6.5438+0.8 million families, you have to make a choice."
On June 5438+02, Liu posted a message in the circle of WeChat friends. He quoted the story of the alarm clock on the floor and said, "I can't work as hard as I did at the beginning of my business!" " But with my physique, I can achieve 8 1 16+8 (Monday to Saturday, 8 am to night 1 1 work 8 hours on Sunday, take two days off every month and take a long vacation every year). "
“JD。 COM has not implemented the bottom elimination system for four or five years. There are more and more people giving orders and fewer and fewer people working. In this way, JD.COM is doomed to have no hope and will only be gradually eliminated by the market. " Liu wrote in his article, "This bum is not my brother. Should I be responsible for180,000 family behind180,000 brothers, or should I leave 1% loafers and be responsible for them? I have no choice! "
Regarding "996", Liu's view is similar to that of Ma Yun. He wrote: "JD. COM will never force employees to have 995 or 996, but everyone in JD.COM must have fighting spirit. "
Li Guoqing in 996;
"It is more valuable for managers to improve efficiency than employees to work overtime"
Dangdang founder Li Guoqing also updated Weibo 12 at 10: 46. In Weibo, he expressed his firm opposition to the "996 working system".
Li Guoqing wrote: "A group of bosses advocated" 996 ",that is, arriving at the company at 9 o'clock, leaving work at 9 o'clock in the evening and working for 6 days. I firmly oppose it. "
In Weibo, he expounded six reasons:
Reason 1: Every day is not a journey, and the working hours are 1 1 hour, so love, family and social life are perfect, and this is the purpose of life or the adjustment of high value of work, just a kind of relaxation.
Reason 2: Excellent enterprises are result-oriented and efficiency-oriented.
Reason 3: It is more valuable for managers to improve the scientificity and efficiency of decision-making than for employees to work overtime.
Reason 4: Many positions, such as programmers, write programs for 8 hours, and basically sleep at home. Depending on the business meeting 1 1 hour is not the work intensity at all.
Reason 5: The current corporate office environment often reduces work efficiency. Western countries have been trying to work from home one day a week for more than ten years, which is very effective for copywriting and editing. Flexible working hours are more suitable for a group of jobs without changing shifts, so a group of soho (small office, home office) people emerged, who are high-income freelancers.
Reason 6: Of course, I am also firmly opposed to working 40 hours a week and having so many holidays.
Finally, he wrote: In order to improve the international competitiveness and the competitiveness of enterprises, I agree to roll up my sleeves and work hard. It is hard work, skilled work and hard work, not inefficient time consumption.
Ma Yun's Alibaba department is mainly famous for Taobao, and it is not very clear about the working hours of employees. However, I recently read an article about the off-duty time of major Internet companies. Ali's rush hour is 9: 30 to 10. I wonder if Ma Yun's enthusiastic rural teacher support project will talk to rural teachers about 996.
Liu Youpeng works there. I felt fine in the first two years, and I can get together with my friends for dinner from time to time. There has been no contact in these two years. It could be 996.
Seeing other employees 996 and executives 955, it's a bit of hatred for the rich. If these 996 executives are not workaholics, how long can the boss who likes 996 tolerate him/her?
Finally, let's talk about our attitude towards 996. We have no objection to working overtime. We just don't want to be forced to work overtime without reciprocal compensation and be detained with the mentality of not accepting 996 and not fighting.
As an employee of a big Internet company, let me talk about 996.
First of all, it's really your choice whether to choose Ali or JD.COM or 996. It is said that 965 is humanized, but we can also find that in recent years, outstanding talents from foreign companies are running to Internet companies, which is very telling.
Secondly, at present, many people on the Internet are not saying that 996 is not working, but that 996 is stopped for no reason, or overtime pay is not given, and the upward channel is not given. The demands of the masses are a better working environment, more wages and a better balance of working hours.
The reality is that many companies have no promotion channels and no incentive mechanism, and bosses will only ask for work rudely, but maybe he himself can't explain why he has to work overtime, and the masses don't have much choice. In this case, it is a bit too high to talk about ideals and struggle.
On the contrary, in Alibaba, everyone can understand what Ma Yun said, because the internal and external environment is different.
For example, in Ali, excellent employees can get many company shares. In theory, all your efforts will be reflected in the company's share price, so to some extent, you are a minority shareholder of the company, fighting for your own company and letting your shares appreciate. I believe many people will not object.
In addition, it is true that Ali has given many employees, especially those from poor families, the opportunity to change their lives. I believe many people are willing to do this, but there is no such channel or the ability is not up to standard.
How to balance work, life and health depends on how you coordinate yourself. There is no way.
To tell the truth, the competition in China is getting more and more fierce now. Everyone's IQ, education and ability are similar at first. How can they stand out? Maybe stupid birds can only fly first, and stupid birds can fly more. A good life doesn't fall from the sky.
In the final analysis, the masses are not opposed to 996, but to 996, which has no return. This is the key to solving the problem.
In recent days, the topic of "996" has been heated up. It has been in China since the reform and opening up. In recent years, the labor power has increased, and you can guess that this problem will be put on the agenda.
Ma Yun and Liu are both bosses, and their working hours are usually 7×24, so their working hours are not 996.
Most bosses, especially the bosses of start-up companies, are always at work, because as bosses, some things are under their control, and some things go with the flow, but they can't control them. To some extent, bosses are also very hard.
Boss, you can work like this, but you can't ask employees to work like this, because it doesn't conform to the spirit of the law.
In fact, few companies can blatantly write 996 work into the company's system. In most companies, it is a hidden rule, that is, leading colleagues to get used to doing this, giving you an invisible pressure.
So I forced you to do the same.
For most employees, there is no way to do this, because if you don't do this, you won't be able to integrate into the team, join the company or last long.
Their time nodes are well arranged. I'm not going to celebrate May Day? How dare they come out to prove, advocate and support a topic that violates the labor law and is illegal? How can this law, which everyone abides by and upholds, be worthless in the eyes of these people? May Day seems to be International Labor Day, right? The United Nations must survive, right? How do big Gaja people stand on their feet in the international arena? Can your values be recognized by the world? You teach everyone how to regress every day, every day. Very meaningful!
Every industry is not easy. Don't always stare at 996 on the Internet.
Why didn't you say that you were still sticking to your post on the railway during Spring Festival travel rush?
Why didn't you say the doctor hasn't slept for more than 40 hours?
Why not say that firemen are on call 24 hours a day?
You can say it's all illegal. . . .
I am honored to be a member of this year. I played for seven hours a day, which was very cool. As a result, I had to work overtime yesterday. This project needs it. They serve the people and I serve the customers. There is no way, the law is the law, and the work content is the work content. The average working time in Germany is only 4.5 hours, while in China it is 10.5 hours. Can you compare it? We are a developing country.
On the one hand, China Internet has achieved overtaking in corners! Mobile payment dominates the world, and * * * enjoys riding in European museums. These achievements are just empty talk, and they were knocked out by Cheng word for word! ! ! ! Do you know how many billion visits there are in the double eleventh second? Do you know concurrency security? When we enjoy the convenience brought by the Internet, have you ever wondered how many people stay up late?
Netease produced a game, and Tencent produced a similar game in a week to quickly occupy the market! This is the competitive speed of capital! This is the result of cheng day and night! ! !
However, enterprises can't force 996! This is the legal bottom line, and it is shameless not to encourage overtime. What enterprises need to do is to cultivate their own technical talents with the help of the platform! Cultivate employees' spirit of re-learning, rather than mechanically knocking on the code!
Ma Yun, were you 996 when you were a teacher? Isn't it a shame to be a teacher and start a company? Are you qualified to be a teacher?
