In the process of this new coronavirus epidemic, in addition to paying attention to the development of the epidemic, we should also pay attention to another aspect, which is the operation of major small and medium-sized enterprises. Due to the unified deployment of the country, many companies have delayed resumption of work or even suspended business. In this case, the most anxious is the entrepreneurs. Although the enterprise cannot carry out production, the necessary expenses must not be less, such as the wages of workers, water and electricity fees, factory rental fees and so on. Especially for many catering enterprises, the Spring Festival has always been the peak season of the year. The new crown epidemic has caused the entire catering industry to suffer from Waterloo. Many catering stores have almost zero revenue during the Spring Festival.
Under this circumstance, many companies choose to overcome difficulties with their employees, and come up with many innovative ways to improve their profits, such as online purchases and offline home delivery, online live streaming, and contactless delivery. But some companies have opted for layoffs and other forms to tide over the difficulties. For example, Hong Kong Airlines announced layoffs or unpaid leave under the double blow of the new crown pneumonia and the social environment of Hong Kong. There is also the HNA Group, where the teacher speaks in class, and is now overwhelmed.
Hong Kong Airlines Chairman Hou Wei sent a letter to employees earlier on February 7, announcing that the company plans to lay off about 400 people, equivalent to about 10% of the entire workforce. It also requires ground staff in Hong Kong to take at least 2 weeks of unpaid leave per month from mid-February to June, or to work 3 days a week; at the same time, Hong Kong Airlines and pilots are also required to take unpaid leave.

The movie "In the Clouds" happens to coincide with the current social situation. The story takes place during the global financial crisis. During the financial crisis, #company collapse# layoffs may have been a hot search on Weibo at that time. The actor Ryan is a high-level person who has laid off employees for various companies. Such a novel occupation is novel in itself, and it also lays the foundation for the film to take an unusual path.
There are many aspects that this film wants to show. After all, it is a management class that requires appreciation, so I want to talk about this film from the perspective of layoffs.
As a layoff professional, Ryan travels around every day, fighting wits and courage with the employees who are about to be laid off in various companies. The laid-off employees are angry, excited, helpless, confused and even seek death. At that time, I had the same idea as the male lead, but it was just a bargaining chip, so I didn't have to take it too seriously.
The turning point of the story is the arrival of fresh blood, Natalie is a student who came out of college for an internship. He is very knowledgeable about new things and has the ambition to overthrow everything. As soon as she arrived at the company, she developed an online layoff system. This system can reduce investment in human resources, reduce transportation costs, and reduce management costs. Huh, that sounds pretty good. Do the most for the least amount of money. not bad.
When I didn't feel right was when Natalie first worked with Ryan for the first time. Natalie draws a layoff flow chart on the computer, which contains all the mental states of all laid-off employees. According to Natalie, as long as you lay off employees according to the guidelines on the flow chart, there will be basically no problems. ? Isn't this the template answer for my college entrance examination? I still remember when the high school history teacher taught us to answer the big questions, "You heard it clearly, all questions are inseparable from the idea of #politics#economics, you just go to the top, there must be nothing wrong. Do you think there are similarities in the same way. Natalie regards employees who have worked hard for the company for many years as a fixed process, or as a simple mathematical formula.
The company's employees regard work as an important part of their lives, and as a result, life slaps them with online video, and you can't find a place to vent. There's a scene in the movie where Natasha's boyfriend texts him: We're breaking up. This may be a self-deprecation of this layoff system.
At the end of the film, the laid-off woman who claimed to have committed suicide finally fulfilled her promise and committed suicide by jumping off a bridge. Natasha also really understood that face-to-face may be the best way to work with people.
In the modern history class not long ago, the teacher has been emphasizing the issue of "people". "Our class is to discuss people, discuss human nature, and consider people's issues when considering everything." Expand the scope and expand into human resource management. All aspects of human resource management are inseparable from people. In other words, human resources should take care of people's feelings and give full play to the role of people. The online layoffs in the movie are the best example of ignoring people's feelings, just pursuing efficiency and failing to achieve the best results.
#May everyone meet HR who takes care of people's feelings.
