I Found A Planet

Chapter 217 Layoffs

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

He works in an IT outsourcing company, and his salary looks like eight or nine thousand, which is above average in second-tier cities.

I usually like to wear plaid shirts, carry a black backpack, and have no girlfriend... a standard dick single.

But Liu Xiaoping has a dream!

That is to become a billionaire before the age of thirty!

There is a 300-square-meter bungalow with front and rear gardens.

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

Marry a good-hearted, young and beautiful wife.

Having two lovely daughters... One son and one daughter can barely accept it.

All of the above are all imagined by his own efforts!

In a rental house with a monthly rent of 600, looking at the hairline in the mirror that is getting further and further back, and pulling the hair that is falling out faster and faster... the dream is so far away from him.

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

Not to mention that he joined an outsourcing company, let alone seeing any hope.

The essence of outsourcing is oppression. Women are used as men, and men are used as cattle and horses. Overtime every day is the norm, and sudden death is not uncommon when staying up late.

The reason why he can stay in this kind of company for two years is because Liu Xiaoping wants to accumulate experience and technology here, and the number of projects he has done is too large. If he changes jobs, his salary will start at least 15,000.

Recently, he felt that his experience was almost enough, so he submitted his resume online without telling the company, looking for suitable opportunities.

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

There is no harvest for more than half a month.

The job at hand can only be done like this, and continue to look for suitable opportunities.

Besides, he had plenty of free time to search.

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

He flashed his two-year-old rice mobile phone into the Nebula system, and found that this system is really easy to use, and the fluency is beyond the charts. It feels like changing a mobile phone, and there are many apps in it. Mainstream WeChat, Penguin, iQiyi, UC, etc. are available on it, and heavyweight apps such as Taobao and Alipay can also be added quickly, and they are very smooth to use.

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

Liu Xiaoping sighed.

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

Only one colleague was unlucky. He caught up with Google's backdoor push, and his phone broke as soon as he swiped it, so he had to go back to the Android system.

Regarding this matter, even though Liu Xiaoping himself is doing Android development, he also thinks that Gu Ge is looking for a dead end! Facing the strong competition from the Nebula system, playing this stupid trick will only accelerate his own weakening.

If it weren't for the 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.

But once he does this, it also means that he has to give up more than two years of work accumulation and enter a field that he is not familiar with and the market prospects are not clear... The risk is indeed a bit high.

He couldn't make up his mind.

Although so far, hundreds of teams have received Xinghai Technology's million-dollar bonus, and he has been 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.

Huh~

After talking so much about everything, the boss's face is getting dark.

What about overtime?

Why don't you programmers give me overtime?

Are you dreaming that outsourcing companies will have weekends?

Excuse me.

Liu Xiaoping has not worked overtime for more than a month.

Go to work on time at 9:00 am and leave work on time at 6:00 pm every day, and never stay in the company for an extra minute.

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

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

Otherwise, refuse to work overtime!

Even if you are an outsourcing company, no matter how urgent the task is, you will never work overtime for free... This is the consensus reached by all programmers, and they are tacitly followed.

Why?

Work assistant!

Even if you only buy a piece of computing power, after using it proficiently, the work efficiency can be at least doubled as a work assistant.

All programmers who have spent money to buy computing power and have greatly improved their work efficiency will naturally refuse to work overtime for the company... unless the salary is raised or overtime pay is given.

Of course, Liu Xiaoping also uses work assistants, and one copy is not enough in computing power, so he bought two copies... a monthly fee of 1,000 yuan is required.

So if the company doesn't reimburse him for the thousand yuan and raise his salary appropriately, he won't dump the boss.

Of course, some bosses couldn't stand this kind of tough attitude. They fired a few disobedient programmers on the spot in a bad temper. The reputation of his company in the circle was stinky instead, and the existing employees also left one after another. In the end, a sincere apology was irreversible.

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

This awakening speech attracted countless applause.

Liu Xiaoping was also proud of being a programmer for the first time.

May 20.

The job assistant was released for two full months.

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

Xinghai Technology announced: Since we have used more powerful supercomputers, starting today, the speed per unit of computing power of the work assistant will double from the previous 100 million operations per second to 200 million times/s.

In other words, the computing power purchased with the same amount of money is now doubled in speed.

Liu Xiaoping immediately logged into the work assistant to try it out, input the requirements, and found that the speed of the work assistant to generate code had doubled, and it was so cool to use.

"Equivalent to doubling performance for free."

"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:

layoffs!

The company is going to make major layoffs!

The programmers in the technical department, except for a few project backbones, will be laid off in half, and the salary of the remaining half will be increased by 80%. Whoever goes and who stays will be determined by lottery.

This decision caused an uproar among the programmers present, and then they felt cold and understood the boss's real calculations.

The performance of the work assistant has doubled, and now layoffs have become more cost-effective. Even if the salaries of the remaining employees are doubled, the boss will not lose money... With fewer people in the company, additional expenses such as social insurance, five insurances and one housing fund will be reduced. Less, even water and electricity can save a part.

"The profiteer!"

"Ugly capitalist."

"I don't care too much!" The employee who got the 'Leave' sign shook his hand and said.

Liu Xiaoping was unlucky, and the one who was drawn was also 'Leave', so he became the target of layoffs.

Similar layoffs occurred in IT companies all over the country. In just a few days, there was a wave of layoffs.

In this wave of layoffs, at least millions of programmers lost their jobs helplessly and joined the army of unemployment.
