Chapter 219: Wave of layoffs

Liu Xiaoping, a programming ape, has more than two years of experience in Android development.

He works in an IT outsourcing company, and his salary is **1,000, which is above average in second-tier cities.

I usually like to wear a plaid shirt, carry a black backpack, and have no girlfriend...... A standard ** silk single dog.

But Liu Xiaoping, he has a dream!

That's to be a billionaire before the age of thirty!

There is a bungalow villa of more than 300 square meters with front and rear gardens.

Buy a top-of-the-line Audi A8.

Marry a good-hearted, young and beautiful wife.

Gave birth to two lovely daughters...... A son and a daughter can reluctantly accept it.

All of the above are all fantasies from his own efforts!

In a rented house with a monthly rent of 600 yuan, I look at the hairline that is getting lower and lower in the mirror, and the hair that is falling faster and faster...... The dream was so far away from him.

Hehe, typing code, except for barely making ends meet and saving a little money, there is no future.

Not to mention that he entered an outsourcing company, and there was no hope.

The essence of outsourcing is oppression, using women as men, treating men as cattle and horses, working overtime every day is the norm, and it is not uncommon to stay up late and die suddenly.

I was able to stay in this kind of company for two years because Liu Xiaoping wanted to accumulate experience and technology here, and the number of projects he did was more, and he changed jobs again, and his salary started at least 10,000 yuan.

Recently, he felt that his experience was almost complete, so he hid from the company and submitted his resume online to find suitable opportunities.

But it may be that the absolute salary of 18,000 he set is a bit high, and there are few companies that call him, or the salary offered does not meet his minimum expectations.

There was no harvest for more than half a month.

That's all I can do for the job at hand, and I continue to look for the right opportunity.

Besides, he had plenty of free time to look for it.

Even use the weekends and weekends to learn the programming of the Nebula APP and master more skills.

He put his rice mobile phone that he had used for two years, and flashed it into a Nebula system, and found that this system was so easy to use, the fluency was off the charts, it felt like a mobile phone, and there were a lot of APP applications in it, and there were mainstream ones and so on, Taobao, Alipay and other heavyweight APPs could also be added quickly, and they were very smooth to use.

"For people like me who don't play games often and have seven or eight apps that are completely sufficient, the Nebula system is ten times better than the Android system."

Liu Xiaoping sighed.

Some colleagues in the company saw that the Nebula system was so easy to use, and several colleagues asked him to help build the Nebula system, and the feedback was very good.

Only one colleague was unlucky, caught up with the backdoor push of Brother Gu's company, and the phone broke down as soon as he swiped it, and he had to brush back the Android system.

Regarding this matter, although Liu Xiaoping himself is doing Android development, he also feels that Brother Gu's company is killing himself! In the face of the strong competition of the Nebula system, making such a stupid move will only accelerate his own weakening.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still relatively few users of the Nebula system, Liu Xiaoping even planned to give up the Android camp and switch to the development of the Nebula APP.

Once he does, it also means that he will have to give up the accumulation of more than two years of work and enter a field that he is not familiar with and the market prospects are not very clear...... The stakes are indeed a bit high.

He couldn't make up his mind.

Although so far, hundreds of teams have received millions of bonuses from Xinghai Technology, and he is also very excited, but he just doesn't have the courage.

After all, Android is still absolutely mainstream, and it will take at least a few years to be replaced.

He thought to himself.

Hey~

After so much, the boss's face is going to be black.

What about overtime?

Why don't you program apes give me overtime?

Is it a dream that an outsourcing company will have a weekend?

Excuse me.

Liu Xiaoping hasn't worked overtime for more than a month.

Go to work on time at 9 a.m. every day and leave work at 6 p.m., never spending an extra minute in the company.

No matter how fierce the boss calls and scolds on the weekend, he will never go to the company to work overtime.

Unless the provisions of the Labor Law are complied with: 1.5 times overtime on weekdays, 2 times on rest days, and 3 times on holidays.

Otherwise, refuse to work overtime!

Even if you are an outsourcing company and the task is urgent, you will never work overtime for free...... This is the consensus of all programmers, and they tacitly abide by it.

Why?

Work Assistant!

Even if you only buy one computing power, you can at least double the work efficiency of the work assistant after you use it proficiently.

All programmers who have spent money on computing power and their work efficiency has been greatly improved have rightfully refused to work overtime for the company...... Unless wages are raised or overtime is paid.

Of course, Liu Xiaoping also uses a work assistant, and one is not enough computing power, so he buys two copies...... You have to pay 1,000 yuan per month for use.

Therefore, if the company does not reimburse him for this thousand yuan and raise his salary appropriately, he will not dump the boss.

This kind of tough posture, of course, some bosses can't stand it, and they are grumpy and open a few disobedient programmers on the spot, planning to recruit some more obedient people to come in, sell them to work, and find that they can't recruit people, and his company's reputation in the programmer circle is stinky, and the existing employees have also left, and finally apologize irretrievably.

"Work assistants, for the first time gave us dignity, we are not code farmers who work endlessly, we are programmers!"

This awakening-like sentence has attracted countless applause.

For the first time, Liu Xiaoping was proud to be a programmer.

May 20th.

The work assistant has been released for two months.

Xinghai Technology, which has been complained about by countless middle and senior programmers, finally has a conscience.

Xinghai Technology announced: Due to the use of more powerful supercomputing, starting today, the speed of the work assistant per unit of computing power will be doubled, from the previous 100 million times per second, to 200 million times per second, while the price remains the same.

In other words, the computing power that you can buy for the same amount of money now is twice as fast.

Liu Xiaoping immediately logged in to the work assistant and tried it, entered the requirements, and found that the speed of the work assistant to generate codes had really doubled, and it was cool to use.

"It's like a free double in performance."

"Conscience, very conscience!"

Liu Xiaoping gave a thumbs up.

However, the next day, the boss of the company held a meeting of technicians and announced a decision with a smile:

Downsizing!

The company is going to carry out a big layoff!

The programmers of the technical department, except for a few project backbones, will be laid off by half, and the remaining half will be paid an 80% increase, and who will leave and who will stay will be decided by lottery.

This decision caused an uproar among the programmers present, and then their hearts were cold, and they understood the real calculation of the boss.

The performance of the work assistant has doubled, and now the layoffs have become cost-effective, and even if the remaining employees are doubled, the boss will not lose money...... If there are fewer people in the company, there will be fewer additional expenses such as social security, five insurances and one housing fund, and even water and electricity can be saved.

"Profiteers!"

"Ugly capitalists."

"Lao Tzu is not rare!" The employee who drew the 'leave' sign shook his hand and said.

Liu Xiaoping was unlucky, and what he drew was also 'leaving' and became the target of layoffs.

Similar layoffs have occurred in IT companies across the country, and in just a few days, there has been a wave of layoffs.

In this wave of layoffs, at least a million programmers have reluctantly lost their jobs and joined the unemployed.
