Not long ago, I saw a recruitment post titled "37 Laid-off, Career Direction for Advice", which was embarrassing to read.
High flyers, a top university in China, graduated with a master's degree and worked in a foreign company 10 years. She was laid off because of department adjustment, and her job search failed for several months.
In fact, her demand for "superior conditions" is simple: I just want to find a job that can develop and I can always have a rice bowl. The monthly salary is 3,000 to 5,000 yuan in the short term, and it can reach 1000 yuan in about two years. Able to bear hardships and accept high-intensity work within 8 hours.
Even so, no company is willing to hire this "old man in the workplace".
We don't want to admit that we are frogs in warm water, but we have to admit that the requirements of enterprises are getting higher and higher, and the crazy wave of layoffs has really come.
1, the layoffs are coming.
Let's look at a set of domestic data first.
In 20 14 years, the four major banks laid off employees17,000 people. By 20 16, this number has exceeded 50,000, which has nearly tripled in three years.
According to the data of the Banking Association, by the end of 20 16, ICBC * * reduced the number of tellers14,000, ABC10,000, CCB's 30,000, and BOC did not disclose the data. For example, China Construction Bank, which disclosed comprehensive data for three years, reduced the number of tellers by 28,565,438+0 in 2065,438+04, 48,865,438+0 in 2065,438+05 and 30,007 in 2065,438+06.
The "shocking" data is disintegrating everyone's fantasy of this "glamorous industry".
A few days ago, I went to China Merchants Bank to get a savings card. In less than *** 10 minutes, I can take the card and go. This is a surprise. Think about going to the bank to get a card before. The long and painful waiting is really "urging people to get old".
The banking industry is becoming more and more intelligent.
In addition to banks, mature internet companies can't escape the fate of layoffs.
In the past 20 16, companies such as Alibaba, Didi, Qihoo 360, LeTV, 58 Tongcheng, Storm Mirror and Meizu all reported layoffs, and "layoffs" became the same topic for Internet companies.
Artificial intelligence has become a hot word in recent years and a new sunrise industry.
But the popularity of artificial intelligence may really make many people unemployed. We have been taught since childhood that everyone has a unique value, but in the future, a lot of repetitive work will be replaced by synthetic robots, who will help you shop, do housework and make friends with you. Many people will become useless people. What should we do with this group of people?
In reality, these displaced people can only work in relief posts provided by the government, and the head of the family has lost his management post. After "liberation", he could only bury himself in the work of guarding the goods in the warehouse-this position was designed by human society specifically to protect the rice bowl and was not handed over to the synthetic man.
Internet and technology are both factors that can make people's lives more convenient, but they also bring more and more challenges and crises to people. When people are liberated from complicated labor, they must think about new things and create new values.
With the intensification of social competition, the development of the Internet industry has become more and more mature, and enterprises have begun to modify their work systems, adjust their business, and eliminate the bottom. These measures help enterprises to reduce the pressure and make profits, but they also force people to innovate.
Think of a sentence in the cloud picture, when the clones start to resist, when the mechanical group has free will, this is the real change.
2, artificial intelligence is coming, and your job may really be lost.
Bank teller
In 20 14, there were only 33 banks with a replacement rate of over 50%, while in 20 16, there were 34 banks with a replacement rate of over 70%. At present, there are 15 banks with over 90% off-site business rate.
Repetitive manual work consumes a lot of time and energy for tellers. In the future, these mechanical jobs are likely to be undertaken by machines. The arrival of cashless era will also aggravate the crisis of teller's professional survival.
Jenkins, former CEO of Barclays, once said that in the next 10 year, the global banking industry needs to cut half of its employees and branches in order to survive in the turbulent technological changes.
Money manager
It is said that the smart investment launched by China Merchants Bank will make 90% financial managers unemployed. Robots may actually fire fund managers.
customer service
To some extent, the business ability of robot customer service absolutely kills manual customer service, so it is expected that manual customer service will be laid off from the perspective of improving service and saving costs.
Human resources (department)
At the end of 20 16, the world managers made a survey, and the conclusion was that most basic and transactional work would be replaced by machines or artificial intelligence, freeing human resource managers from transactional work.
driver
Nowadays, it is not surprising to see Google's driverless cars shuttle on the Silicon Valley Expressway 10 1 or park themselves on the streets of San Francisco. After obtaining the driver's license in California, Qilu led the Baidu autopilot team to move forward non-stop.
……
3. On the correct posture of hedging the risk of layoffs.
After the nest is laid, there will be finished eggs.
Just like the 37-year-old master mentioned above, she herself mentioned in her later reply that she was a loser and didn't sharpen her wings in such a long career, so that she is so miserable now.
So, what can be done to nip the crisis in the bud?
Be prepared for danger in times of peace and refuse to be a "lazy cancer patient"
When you leave the campus "greenhouse garden", you should know that enterprises don't keep idle people, and society won't give you a backer. The only thing we can do is to "open our legs", and we can't stop pursuing progress for a moment.
Improve professional ability and be an "expert" in the field of segmentation.
When you are lying in bed, watching American TV, chatting and eating snacks, think about how many pairs of eyes are staring at your work. Focus on your own field and cultivate "craftsman" talents, so that robots are discouraged!
Practitioners of lifelong learning with one skill and no pressure.
I heard that a Huawei buddy was fired at the age of 34. He earns more than 30 thousand yuan a month and has a bonus. He just bought a house at home and his daughter-in-law has no job. After losing his job, he immediately fell into a financial crisis. Ren Zheng Fei also responded to this matter, making it clear that Huawei has no pension, Huawei has no money, and everyone will collapse if they don't struggle. To persuade people in their thirties not to try to count money in bed.
Even at the peak, no one knows when the next turning point will come.
Keep learning so that you won't be kicked out.
