Year-end bonus or not? How much? Employees care a lot, but they care more about the company, you know?

Just like a child who wants a big red envelope during the New Year, what adults want most during the New Year is that the company will send a big red envelope at the end of the year - a year-end bonus, which is auspicious and festive.

However, this year's economic situation, everyone is very clear, just like this "three nine days, walking on ice". Everyone walked tremblingly. Therefore, issuing year-end awards this year has become the company's most headache and hardest to talk about, and it is also a tense situation that employees are most concerned about and want to know the most.

It is a ritual and custom for every company to issue year-end bonuses at the end of the year. Just like every Chinese New Year, no matter how rich or poor the family is, the elders will give the juniors a red envelope more or less as a reward for the children's hard work in one year and blessings and encouragement for the coming year.

By issuing year-end awards, it can not only reflect a company's respect and affirmation of employees, but also can see a company's strength and pattern, and it is also an invisible publicity for the company.

For example, when Alibaba gives out such a large year-end bonus at the end of each year, it is like a carnival day for all employees. As a reminder, last year everyone worked hard and earned money, and everyone shared it together. Keep working hard next year!

How many people are envious, jealous, and hateful, and how many people silently remember this company and are determined to work hard to become one of them.

This saves a lot of money and effort than advertising everywhere.

The year-end award is the best reflection of our one-year work in the company.

Nowadays, the pressure of urban life is so great. Every employee works overtime and swallows all kinds of overtime. The reason is to hold their breath and wait for the year-end bonus, so that they can have a satisfactory return for their one-year hard work.

What's more, this large sum of money has many uses. It can end a year of work and life perfectly and easily; it can also relieve various life pressures for a year and take a breather.

Some people will say that talking about money is too snobbish. But don't we work to make life better? We study hard and keep improving, and ultimately, we will get better income.

From the online news released in the past few days, we all know that the year-end awards in 2018 are not as easy to win as in previous years.

Except for a few big-name companies that are still generous and proudly throw out enviable year-end bonuses, so that employees can take this string of zero year-end bonuses everywhere, most of the company's year-end bonuses are large. Shrink or even cancel directly.

This is the headline topic everyone talks about, but it's a tacitly accepted fact.

However, after a well-known online knowledge payment company announced the elimination of the year-end bonus, it was not only complained by employees, but also quickly fermented on the Internet, causing a lot of dissatisfaction and resentment among employees towards the company.

If the year-end bonus is not issued, everyone will complain, but the reasons that can cause the employees to be so angry are more than that.

The reason was a long article that the company sent out because it didn't issue year-end bonuses.

In the long article, the company did not have any explanation for the cancellation of the year-end bonus, and the words were very cold and official.

The company's statement is: the cancellation of the year-end bonus is not to save costs, it has nothing to do with the economic winter, and it has nothing to do with other companies laying off employees.

Year-end bonus or not? How much? Employees care a lot, but they care more about the company, you know?

Then began a long speech, discussing that the year-end bonus is "lazy government", which is unfair, and even think that some people are delayed in joining the company to get a sum of money from the original company. There is quite a feeling of "the heart of the villain is the belly of the gentleman".

The cancellation of the year-end bonus was already unpleasant, but the company also gave a lot of high-sounding reasons, which made people feel unhappy.

Not wanting to give out year-end awards, the company's leadership not only does not feel ashamed and is ashamed of the employees' hard work for a year, but instead dumps the blame on the employees, and dumps them with confidence and feelings. This is the real fuse that caused the employees to complain vigorously. .

In fact, we can already see how the economic environment will be in 2018 from the actions of various companies. For example, Meituan, a group buying giant, had to lay off staff and cut expenses to survive the cold winter. For example, at the end of the year, Didi CEO Cheng Wei publicly announced that because the company’s earnings were not as good as expected, not only would employees’ year-end bonuses be cut in half compared to last year, but they even canceled the year-end bonuses for all Didi executives.

In this form, the company will give less or cancel the year-end bonus, which is definitely understandable as an employee. However, if it is to not issue year-end bonuses, throw the blame directly to employees or use reasons for the company's development needs to prevaricate, it will be unbearable for employees.

Jack Welch, chairman and CEO of General Electric, was once asked, "When rewarding employees, do you think it is better to use material rewards or spiritual encouragement?"

Year-end bonus or not? How much? Employees care a lot, but they care more about the company, you know?

Welch replied:

"Mental encouragement and material rewards are both necessary, and both are indispensable."

When the company doesn't have enough material incentives, don't blame employees, be snobbish, and talk things out with money. Then, please show enough sincerity and respect to tell the employees that the current situation of the company is not very good, and everyone needs to help each other to tide over the difficulties. Therefore, there is no strength to issue year-end awards this year, please understand, I believe that everyone's efforts will enable us to survive the cold winter and usher in the spring.

On a cold winter night, the only way to keep warm is to hold a group together.

Year-end bonus or not? Staff feel very sad. But lack of sincerity and respect, don't you feel sad for the company?
