Preface ：

The workplace is like a siege , Every one of us in the workplace always takes “ Outside the wall ” I'm envious of “ Inside the wall ” The world of , And maybe your life also appears in other people's dreams . hope “ Internet gossip ” It can be a platform for you to share and understand different lives .

today , The author shares with you the voice of a female workplace . Let's learn about the most primitive life of female workers 、 Working state . I hope these “ dried food ” It can make you realize the different workplace .

I was laid off in February this year , Only after leaving a small foreign enterprise to find a job opportunity can we know how oppressive and informal the companies in the market are , Although it is a passive resignation , But in the past, I had a very harmonious relationship with my colleagues , So I have deep feelings for the original company , In brief, the rules that small foreign enterprises abide by are difficult for ordinary enterprises .

These things , It's what you feel everyday , The company is not particularly serious about touting 、 exaggerate , It seems that these things are what should be in normal work , This attitude is touching .

1、 Salary and benefits .

During the interview three years ago, he raised the pre tax according to the scope given on his website 5k（ Assistant position ）, At that time, I was a little guilty because I had only graduated for two years , I haven't accumulated experience in the enterprise （ Before 2 I have been doing odd jobs in public institutions for years ）, Finally, I got it smoothly offer, Only when communicating 5k It is the basic pre tax salary , Everyone else in the company 1k Subsidies for （ Everyone is 1k, Regardless of the level ）, This part HR It will not be included in your basic salary . So I learned that the final monthly salary is 5k+1k, It can be said to be a windfall , To my surprise . foreign enterprise HR I'm not very clever at putting all kinds of allowances into my salary to draw a big pie for you .

No more five insurances and one fund , The company stipulates that the maximum proportion of actual salary shall be paid , With the increase of working years , Every year 1% Additional supplementary housing provident fund （ I remember that the maximum accumulation of provident fund is 18%）, Add some cash to the salary card . So even if only 5-6k Before tax , The provident fund company can pay you every month 1600+, It can really accumulate a lot .

I won't say much about the coffee machine, fruit drinks, gym , Foreign companies are not likely to take this as a recruitment gimmick , After the intention is basically determined, I will mention it by the way , However, our small foreign enterprises are also basic , It will not be like the dazzling afternoon tea of Internet companies every day . Soda 、 milk 、 Tea bag 、 Instant coffee milk tea 、 Coffee machines are ordinary , The gym is pitifully small, probably more than ten square meters （ The whole company 150-170 Left and right ）, The company will help reimburse the rent of the basketball court under the office building .

Commercial insurance , The company is also normally equipped , Fall down on the way to work 、 You can report sprained feet in basketball during the break , The better thing is that a medical insurance reimbursement platform is launched later , Employees can be reimbursed for their daily outpatient treatment （ Invoice materials are complete ）, I remember when I went to the clinic to pull out wisdom teeth, I reported most , Other employees can report minor illness and pain ！ It's really convenient , Hardly need to fill in the content , Just take photos of all kinds of medical records and upload invoices （ Plastic surgery is not good ）. It also launched preferential insurance for employees' families , Many colleagues with a second child in their family have bought company insurance for children who are prone to illness （ A few hundred ）, As we all know, children's clinics often run , Whether it's 50 still 500 Can report , The insurance company insisted on raising the price and setting the price when negotiating the contract in the second year 100 Deductible for hhh, Because children are too easy to get sick , Every time I see a doctor, I only have a little money , The reimbursement ratio is too high .

2. Working hours and holidays .

Working hours are normal 9:00-18:00, Don't punch in , Weekends （ In fact, there is really no need to specify , It's a normal thing ）. But to tell the truth, basically, people started leaving at 5:30 p.m , Only a few colleagues work overtime every day , Few people come on weekends . Besides, our company is still a communication enterprise ,90% It's all R & D people . If you need to leave in advance, just talk to the leader , Some colleagues are neglected by the elderly at home , Every afternoon 2 There are also people who leave more than a little to pick up their children , Pick up the child and go straight home to work . You need to leave the company for business during daily working hours ,2 There is no need to ask for leave within hours , Leave 4 Hours count as half a day off , But sometimes department leaders don't ask , You can also ask for leave without submitting it in the system , Anyway, no one will seriously check your attendance . But because the company gives too much annual leave , I can't finish it anyway , Everyone will still ask for leave according to the process .

The employees of the company have 15 Days paid annual leave , The length of service is increased by one year , Annual leave is increased by one day ,20 Heaven capped . In fact, many people can postpone their unused annual leave to the next year 8 End of month , If 8 The annual leave of the previous year is invalid before the end of the month . So in July and August, department leaders will frantically remind employees to take the unused vacation of the previous year , Force you to rest at home for a day or two （ My leader will say that there are not many things in these two days. Let's have a rest at home , Use the annual leave ）.

For example, the Chinese branch of our company is the R & D Center , No sales, no market , A lot of work can be done remotely , So working from home has always been a very common option . The child has a fever today 、 The old man is ill 、 You can choose to work at home when people need to be at home, such as home appliance maintenance , No one has come to work since the epidemic , Until last week, I went back to the company and found that many employees arrived 7 I only came to the company less than ten times in January , All choose to work from home . I think it's mutual trust between enterprises and employees , And the self-discipline of employees .

What moves me is , Because my home is too far away from the company （ one-way 1 Hours 20 About minutes ）, Half a year after joining , The boss took the initiative to discuss with me , Give me one day a week to work from home （ Wednesday ）, This unwritten exception continued until I left , About three years .

3. Talent growth and training .

Small businesses don't recruit much , There is no need for this expansion , There is no need for a large number of junior R & D personnel . Most of the positions are one radish and one pit , Only when someone leaves or the Department approval finds it necessary , Therefore, most of the recruits are high-level and sophisticated talents , It's also more reliable to push by acquaintances . Before leaving the company 160 A regular employee , Two of them have college degrees , More than half of the rest are master's degrees , Others are undergraduate , Overall staff quality 、 The ability to get along and communicate is still very good （ It doesn't mean that low education is bad ）. People who are not highly educated are also difficult to get along with , Besides, some male engineers are quite sophisticated , EQ is also relatively low .

Training of foreign enterprises , There is no iron discipline and chicken blood course , Most of the daily work is led by department leaders , All departments communicate with each other （ Programming, development and testing , I don't understand ）. The head office later purchased LinkedIn On line courses , With an account, you can go to the website to listen to massive training at any time . Because it is the training platform of the whole company, it provides all English courses , I feel there are tens of thousands of video classes , From what Python java All kinds of technology to marketing time management , How to organize employee activities ,excel High precision usage , As long as you want it, you can find the corresponding teaching introduction 、 Advanced stage 、 Daniel video , Foreign experts explain 、 Practice also brings some animation simulation , There is a whole paragraph of English subtitles next to it. If it is difficult to listen with empty ears, you can also pause and watch the subtitles slowly . The head office also spent a lot of money on LinkedIn Of this training course .

China HR Will organize some public courses , For example, people from the Red Cross were invited to do first aid training , Many employees with old people and children attended , After passing the training, the first aid certificate recognized by the organization will be issued .

Another useful training for all is English , Foreign enterprises have some requirements for English , Especially the logistics department , Engineers' requirements will be lower . The company pays for the organization of toeing every year （ Test of English for International Communication ） The test , Probably 400 still 600 One person registration fee , Non mandatory , But in the first year, managers took the exam first , Set an example . This score does not count as any performance appraisal , It is hoped that employees can improve their English level and better communicate with the American side . In fact, it's a good proof to find a job after having this certificate , In this way, English will not become a stumbling block to foreign enterprises , If you go to a private enterprise, you will get extra points .

4. Office environment .

At this time, we are just a small foreign enterprise ！ The scale in Silicon Valley is not large , The size of the branch in China is smaller （160 Left and right ）, The capital is not particularly strong , So the office building is located next to the subway station , But it's definitely not that kind of high-end office building . Foreigners have some very persistent points , Or it's a brain dead place , No matter how the company layoffs , How to save costs , He will never shrink where he should invest . such as , Each of us has a big desk , Electric lifting , The group purchase price is 9k One ... The office chair is Herman Miller's （ I didn't know this brand at first , Thought it was ordinary ）, The purchase price is 3k About on the market 5k Well ... During the layoff period, there were more chairs 100 hold , The company uses 200 The unit price of yuan was handled and bought by the employee ... I regret that I didn't apply to buy one and put it at home at that time, because I don't know Herman Miller brand woo woo woo

The overall tone and style should be consistent with that of the U.S. headquarters , The design was discussed by the largest executive director in the United States , Details in all aspects , The color of the wall paint should also be reported to him one by one , Even the style samples of carpets are from us HR The director went to the United States for a meeting, put it in his luggage and brought it to him . It's just some insistence that doesn't bother , It is also commonly known as “ Stupid foreigner ”.

Speaking of our foreign enterprises HR And the administrative department. It's really conscientious to serve the people , Didn't say at all HR Be in charge of life and death like a class teacher . Because the office is sometimes decorated （ The headquarters will feel that it has been decorated for a long time ） Or the replacement of the station （ Some of the former cubicles have been replaced by open lift tables ）, It has attracted a lot of opposition from engineers . Because smart engineers always struggle with decoration dust and formaldehyde , Many people will question frankly , Our administrative department went to buy equipment by itself and invited a professional testing team to the company several times , Issued N An indoor test report proves that our office environment is harmless , There is also no complaint （ In fact, there are , It's just a little roast inside the Department , Will not compete with employees ）.

5. Let's talk about the treatment that everyone is most concerned about

The treatment of foreign enterprises is really not low （ Horizontal comparison of the industry ）, As far as our company is concerned , There is a very sound promotion system and salary structure Standards , Every year, I will buy authoritative data from the market and make adjustments by comparing my company's salary and level , Keep the salary competitiveness of your company , The salary of the whole company will also be adjusted every year , To beat inflation , In about 6%-9% about . In general, the salary is quite reasonable . But only 13 pay , Yes, the year-end bonus is just one more month's salary , Never send more , Because the Chinese R & D center does not have a marketing or sales staff , Products are also only for foreign countries , There is no market in China . There are performance awards every quarter , And personal KPI irrelevant , All by themselves title Fixed percentage of , Performance mainly depends on the completion of quarterly sales performance of the head office , Sometimes I can give a 100%, The business in the second and third quarters is generally outstanding and can be given 125%. There are no more bonuses , The daily small bonus is hundreds to 3-5k, It depends on your contribution to the project , The Department Manager decides whether to give it to you . There is no more income , Relatively transparent salary structure , I can't get a huge year-end bonus at the end of the year , Everyone is 13 Just pay . This may also be the reason why some middle-aged employees change jobs , Go to Dachang or Shanghai Hangzhou for development , You can really get more when you get it .

Another point is that the termination money given by foreign enterprises is very generous , This may also be the reason why I never forget my old employer hahahaha ...

The termination of foreign enterprises is still very cruel , It's basically not negotiable to cut it if you say so . And sometimes it's not because of your bad performance , But the company decided not to use this business department , I won't do it in the future , Then your department will be completely cut down （ A few prominent employees talk about whether to transfer to another department to continue , However, most people will not choose to transfer , My department has left , Work hard ）. Such layoffs are cruel , Except that the department leaders will get the high-level rumors earlier , The employees of the department basically inform you today, and your resignation date will be two or three days later . But the compensation given will not be less than you , Sometimes even such mass layoffs , In order to reduce disputes , You will be given a higher severance payment than the standard for you to sign . The termination clause will also include this “ Give preferential treatment ”, Two choices ：

1. The company will provide you with other recruitment positions in the next month （ Help you find a job ）

2. Signing the resignation document today will get extra X One thousand yuan , But you can't appeal after signing . Generally speaking, employees still can't resist the temptation of money and sign , It also avoids many disputes in the future , This is actually beneficial to the company —— Willing to pay more money than the standard , To avoid trouble in the future
