【Work title】

Every time I do a business consulting project or go to a new franchise company to conduct front-line research, I will see the following status quo.

①Old employees who have been working for many years have not been promoted for a long time, complaining a lot, but do not leave their jobs.

② Employees who are promoted are often considered unfair by many employees.

③Once the operation of the enterprise is difficult, or when the personnel are optimized, these old employees are at risk of being optimized away.

Old employees have no credit, at least they have hard work, why are they so underappreciated? Or not being treated fairly?

[1] The cost is too high, and the salary cannot be reduced

Employees are originally the most active resource of the company and the most important asset of the company, but most companies do not take this seriously. Companies often think that employees are costs. If they cannot create value, such employees are not as good as a small device of the company. leave as well.

According to the current salary and welfare system of enterprises, there are generally seniority bonuses. In addition, if you work in an enterprise all the year round, there will always be more than one salary adjustment opportunity, which makes the overall salary cost of the elderly on the high side. Taking salary cuts is often not desirable, and may even be suspected of breaking the law.

[2] lingering, no room for improvement

If it is said that a person with ability is temporarily underappreciated, this is a very realistic thing. If an old employee has not played his due value in the company for many years, and has not had the opportunity to be promoted, it means that the old employee probably has no room for improvement.

Time speaks for itself! There are only so many opportunities, and old employees stay in their original positions for too long, and the actual occupational risk will be great. At least objective judgment: this guy can't.

[3] Pay in return, low cost performance

It can be seen from the first two points that, on the one hand, the overall labor cost of the old employees is relatively high; on the other hand, the old employees have limited room for improvement and improvement. What do these two conditions together tell us?

It shows that the cost performance of old employees is getting lower and lower. On the one hand, the cost of wages is too high, on the other hand, the value creation is limited, and through training, the expected output cannot be obtained with high probability. Why don't companies replace younger, lower-wage people with the hope of creating more value?

[4] Personnel optimization to make room for newcomers

Although it is said that everyone has opportunities, everyone has value, and everyone has the right to employment and work. But the workplace still has its own characteristics, which is the law of competition under the vanity scene.

If an enterprise wants to develop, it must suppress its competitors. This kind of suppression in the market actually comes from internal capabilities. On the one hand, how talented you are, and on the other hand, how low the overall cost is. This means that if the company maintains its own continuous competitiveness, it must optimize its personnel, and those old employees with high costs and uncompetitiveness will become the objects of optimization.
