It can be placed inside the company. This action has achieved personnel optimization for Tencent, solved the dilemma of overstaffing and profit decline caused by the slowdown of business development, and achieved the effect of saving costs and optimizing organizational structure. From a commercial point of view, layoffs are normal operations in the business process. We have to face the reality that many enterprises will conduct personnel inventory and optimization at the end of the year or the beginning of the year because of the needs of business development. Many companies silently lay off employees 10%, which is a normal personnel optimization every year. Just for ordinary enterprises, the total number of people who may be optimized is only a few or dozens, but it has not aroused any splash and attracted the attention of the society.
In recent years, Internet companies such as Tencent, Ali and JD.COM began to lay off employees, indicating that the Internet industry has entered a slow development and reached a certain bottleneck; On the other hand, it also shows that the competition among Internet companies will be more intense in the future, and the profits of the old business model will decline, and it will face tremendous pressure. It is also a helpless move to continue to invest in various new businesses, integrate their businesses and slim down for longer-term and reasonable development.
In the eyes of discerning netizens, I don't think Tencent should do this. After all, although their reported profitability is also declining, the situation is indeed much better than that of many other large enterprises. I feel that although Tencent has given extremely generous compensation, it is even more difficult for employees when the enterprise is in trouble, because the employees are behind their families. Excellent enterprises should work hand in hand with their employees to advance and retreat together, instead of laying off employees as soon as they encounter problems. There is a saying that the essence of enterprises is the pursuit of profit maximization, and the essence of migrant workers is the pursuit of profit maximization. How can an enterprise have 100% excellent employees? Most employees are not responsible for enterprises, and enterprises do not treat employees as family members. The relationship between enterprises and employees is only an employment relationship. As long as it is legal, less emotional kidnapping is also good. What's more, the internal employees who have been optimized and laid off rarely speak. After all, they are the ones who know the truth best.
Many netizens and experts have also analyzed the reasons for Tencent's continuous layoffs. I prefer that Tencent is not clear about the future development prospects and predicts that the economic situation will continue to decline. Two years ago, Tencent's business developed well and responded to the call for recruitment. But after two years, the final desired effect has not been achieved, and the cost of trial and error is too high. Do you want to continue? But I can't see the direction and hope. Under such severe conditions, Tencent has to cut its budget and maintain sufficient cash flow to cope with various unfavorable situations to ensure the company's stability and long-term development.
Second, Tencent's net profit declined for three consecutive quarters. Business transformation continued, and the development focus shifted from ToC to ToB, and toB became the most important revenue contribution business. The main profitable business model variables, the demand and distribution of personnel naturally need to be rearranged.
