Homo sapiens

Chapter 289 Unemployment Wave

May 8, 22.

Infineon's Xingdao branch quickly held a staff meeting.

Lawrence, who is in charge of the branch, announced to all employees: "Dear colleagues, it is very regrettable that the head office has decided to move the factory to Sydney, Kangaroo Country. Employees who are interested in working in Kangaroo Country can apply to the personnel department."

"What?"

"this……"

The middle and high-level employees were not too panicked. After all, their skills could be used anywhere and they had accumulated a lot of savings.

The people who really feel uneasy are the ordinary workers at the grassroots level.

Infineon nominally agrees to apply to go to Kangaroo Country. The problem is that it will be difficult for ordinary workers to obtain visas. The immigration review department of Kangaroo Country is notoriously harsh, and most skilled workers on ordinary assembly lines will not be able to pass.

Almost on the same day.

23 semiconductor companies, including Intel, Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics, Samsung, and ADM, have chosen to withdraw from Singdao.

In addition, a large number of precision instrument companies, as well as Shell and Citroën, have announced the closure of the Sing Tao factory.

This made the Xingdao economy, which was already in a cold winter, suddenly worse.

Almost at the same time, major semiconductor companies around the world announced "price fine-tuning" in some regions.

Even SMIC has to accept America's price increase instructions.

The price of semiconductor components purchased by Homo sapiens from outside suddenly increased by 8 to 12 times.

Luoyang District of Xingdao.

The Human Resources Department of Homo Sapiens Company has set up the Human Resources Department of the Xingdao Branch here. At this time, there is a long queue here, and many people are waiting anxiously wearing masks.

Inside the building.

Zhang Kai, who had just been fired by Intel, and a dozen other colleagues were lining up here to apply for relief.

More than twenty minutes later, it was finally Zhang Kai's turn.

The HR employee who was transferred from the Luzon branch took a look at Zhang Kai's ID and application form: "Intel packaging and testing technician? 11 years of work experience?"

"Yes, no problem?" Zhang Kai was a little nervous.

The employee of the Human Resources Department took out the social employee employment application form, employee contract, and employee information manual: "Take these and go to Office 14 on the second floor. Think about it carefully."

With these documents in hand, Zhang Kai and four other old colleagues went to Office 14 on the second floor. There were a large number of desks and chairs in the office, which was somewhat similar to a classroom.

The facilitator took them inside.

"Sit anywhere."

After taking his seat, Zhang Kai asked: "What are you going to do next?"

The facilitator pointed to the documents in their hands: "Go through these documents and decide whether you want to sign a contract. If you want to sign a contract, just tell me. If you don't want to sign a contract, you can leave on your own."

"OK, thank you." Zhang Kai opened the contract.

The so-called social employees are special groups of people who do not work in the subsidiaries and internal institutions of Homo Sapiens Company, but live within Homo Sapiens Company.

Such social employees are usually minors, the elderly, the disabled, the homeless, the rich and freelancers.

Zhang Kai read the contract and flipped through employee information.

By comparing the two sides, we soon discovered that the so-called social employees are actually the marginalized group of Homo sapiens companies. The company does not need you to work and will provide you with housing, clothing, food, and medical care.

Of course, Zhang Kai knew that such a good thing would definitely not be so easy to enjoy.

Because employees need to know that the standard of relief has been stated in the handbook, which basically guarantees that the person will not die, but if you want to enjoy it, don't even think about it.

However, becoming a social employee does not mean that you cannot upgrade.

As long as you find a job, it can definitely improve your standard of living.

If you don't want to work, you have to look at your own savings or whether your relatives have enough money to support you. Otherwise, you can only accept the lowest level of "welfare."

Zhang Kai is not too disappointed about this. The Sing Tao economy is in such a terrible state now that the Sing Tao dollar has depreciated by 63%, and Europe and the United States have announced that they do not recognize the Sing Tao dollar.

After a large amount of foreign capital withdrew, a wave of unemployment broke out instantly.

Zhang Kai raised his head and asked: "Assistant Hal, if I work in a non-Homo sapiens company, will the contract of the social employee still be extended?"

"Mr. Zhang, social employees only have two options: death and withdrawal. As long as you don't quit, you will be an employee of the company until the end of your life." Hal explained with a smile.

"quit?"

"Quiting means leaving the company and no longer enjoying all the benefits of the company."

Haha, why don't you just say cancel your nationality? Zhang Kai complained secretly in his heart.

However, he still had doubts: "Assistant Hal, how do I operate the work contracts I signed with other companies?"

"Don't worry! There is no need to sign a work contract, because in this type of situation, labor dispatch is usually used directly. You participate in the work of other companies as employees of Homo Sapiens Company."

"Labor dispatch? How to calculate wages and benefits?" Zhang Kai looked confused.

"Of course the company pays." Hal spread his hands.

As for foreign-funded enterprises and private enterprises, they need to pay a special fee to the Homo sapiens company on a regular basis and pay labor cooperation fees.

In essence, social employees working for private companies is a cooperation between Homo sapiens companies and private companies. Homo sapiens companies provide labor and private companies obtain labor.

Therefore, social employees are also divided into different levels, and the wages and benefits of these employees are also uniformly distributed by the Homo sapiens company.

"Is this mandatory?"

"Of course it's enforced."

Zhang Kai and several old colleagues looked at each other in confusion. Only then did they understand why Homo Sapiens Company claimed that there were no unemployed people inside.

According to this rhythm, those who do not work in the subsidiaries and affiliated organizations of Homo sapiens are all social employees, and all men, women, and children can receive protection.

In this case, there are naturally no unemployed people.

Children have a "job" as soon as they are born, so there is no need for unemployment.

"Are our families like this too?"

Hal nodded: "Same."

"OK." Zhang Kai already understood.

There are only two choices, either becoming an employee of Homo Sapiens Company, or leaving smoothly. Apart from this, there is no third choice.

Zhang Kai considered that it would be very difficult for his parents, who were in their seventies, plus his wife and children, a family of seven, to immigrate to Kangaroo Country, so he might as well take advantage of the benefits at the Homo sapiens company.

"I want to become a regular employee, what procedures do I need to go through?"

Halti pointed out: "Don't worry. As long as you have a little ambition and the whole family is within the company, it is very easy to apply for a formal position."

Hearing this, Zhang Kai was a little surprised: "It is easier for people with families to apply for jobs?"

"The family is within the company. After all, some positions require confidentiality. It is generally difficult for new social employees without families to obtain such positions, such as the positions in the Internal Security Division, Internal Affairs Division, and Internal Affairs Division. They do not want them. New single."

Zhang Kai was a little worried: "The company doesn't seem to have a semiconductor industry, right?"

Hal shook his head: "Everything will be available. You shouldn't ask. Don't ask casually. You are still strong now, so you don't need to worry about not having a job."

The vast majority of people present have chosen to become social employees, and those who do not choose are ultimately a minority.

Things are not going well all over the world right now, but at least there is no need to worry about starving to death within the Homo sapiens company. As Hal said, anyone with a little bit of ambition can be like a fish in water within the homo sapiens company.
