Top of the big era

There are many businesses on the Internet, and many things cannot be done by oneself, so some relatively simple tasks will be picked out and handed over to third-party companies.

Just like AI data processing.

In the massive data, each piece of data must be manually labeled, the data classified, and then the data used to train the algorithm. This is a monotonous and repetitive job with little technical content. Basically, you only need to know English and some basic data classification.

Zhou Buqi knew about this because Shen Xiangyang reported to him from Ziweixing International.

It is Shen Xiangyang who wants to outsource this type of data analysis and data processing to Indian outsourcing companies.

Zhou Buqi was quite surprised for a while.

Why not outsource it to a domestic team? It can provide more job opportunities for the country!

The answer is also very simple, it is to save money.

If outsourced to India, the labor cost is 100,000 rupees per person per year... which is about an annual salary of US$2,000. If placed in Silicon Valley, the annual salary would be US$200,000! Even if it is outsourced to domestic employees, the annual salary will be around US$20,000.

Moreover, the English language in India is more popular, the management is stricter, and it is more suitable for doing some similar work.

However, Zhou Buqi is not very clear about Ziweixing's outsourcing situation.

I just thought that some work such as content review and customer service would be outsourced.

It was suggested that Li Jun open a small company. It was actually very simple. He came to Ziweixing to take an outsourcing order, and he didn't expect to make a lot of money. It was easy to start.

Li Jun is different, "I don't want to take outsourcing orders."

Zhou Buqi asked: "What's wrong?"

Li Jun said: "Too tired!"

"Then just take less orders." Zhou Buqi was a little confused, "Are you tired? Isn't it too much work? Take fewer orders, and then you can earn less from the middleman's price difference. Wouldn't it be enough if the workload is smaller? "

"It's actually easy to say that it's physically tiring." Li Jun shook his head, and then sighed, "It's mainly because of mental fatigue, which is a kind of personality hardship. I've seen too many outsourcing people, and to be honest, it's not easy to deal with. !”

Zhou Buqi didn't quite understand the situation, "What do you mean?"

Li Jundao: "Outsourcing is discriminatory!"

Zhou Buqi asked: "What kind of discrimination?"

Li Jundao: "Outsourced employees are equivalent to temporary workers. Let outsourced employees and regular employees work together. No matter how capable an outsourced employee is, he must obey the work arrangements and dispatch of a regular employee. When working together, outsourcing There are limitations to every employee’s identity.”

"No way?"

Zhou Buqi was shocked.

Li Jun looked at him strangely and realized that he had made a mistake.

It turns out that the big boss doesn't know anything about this kind of thing.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Tell me carefully, what's going on?"

Li Jun hesitated for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and opened the Weishu work group. After browsing for a while, he saw a message and handed it to Zhou Buqi: "Look at this paragraph, it is very representative."

Zhou Buqi looked at it and immediately became angry.

This is a notification from HR.

The words are full of discrimination and injustice!

"notify!"

"Outsourcing! Outsourcers should pay attention. You are an outsourcer, not a regular employee. Please don't eat the company's snacks casually."

"Pay attention to quality!"

Zhou Buqi was really shocked when he saw this passage.

I never expected that something like this would happen in my company!

Li Jun took the phone, flipped through it for a while, found another paragraph, and handed it over.

This is another WeChat notification from HR.

"@Everyone: I once again formally make one thing clear to all development managers and front-end architects: outsourcing personnel come here to help us work."

"1. They will not become regular employees, and we will not accept them as our regular employees. If we really do this kind of thing, we will need to pay 12 months of service fees to the outsourcing company. I hope that when you hire people, Be careful with what you say, and don’t make random promises that shouldn’t be made, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes.”

"2. They are not our regular employees. If you feel that cooperation is not possible, remember to inform me as soon as possible and replace them as soon as possible. Don't worry about not reporting if no one is using them. There are plenty of outsourced teams, so there is no need to accommodate them."

"3. When outsourced colleagues come over, just give them a certain amount of human touch in their daily work. There is no need to devote energy to management. If you can't handle it, replace them. Don't hesitate and be decisive!"

Zhou Buqi usually doesn't pay much attention to Ziweixing's business.

Because Ziweixing has been so successful, it has become an unshakable giant in the domestic market.

Therefore, his focus on the Internet business is mainly focused on Ziweixing International.

But I didn’t expect that something so cruel and cruel would happen here in China!

Ziweixing International also has outsourcing business, including many large companies in Silicon Valley. However, the outsourcing business of Silicon Valley giants is not in the domestic market of the United States. They go to India, Africa, South America, Southeast Asia and other places with cheap labor to find outsourcing companies.

separate from each other.

If there is no contact with each other, there will be no "contrast", and it will be difficult to have interpersonal discrimination, at least it will not be felt by the outsourcing party.

This is not possible here in China.

This is too much!

Zhou Buqi can tell from these two HR notices that the so-called "outsourcing" does not mean outsourcing the relevant business at all, but invites the staff of the outsourcing team to the company as temporary workers. Come here!

Let outsourced personnel and regular employees work together, and work together on a daily basis, which will lead to various differences in management, systems, company benefits and other aspects.

This kind of differential treatment is employment discrimination!

This is different from Meituan’s delivery boy.

The guys who deliver food are also outsourced personnel, but there is an essential difference here - that is, the division of different circles.

In the circle of delivery boys, there are all delivery boys. Everyone is outsourced and has equal status. Some outsourcing guys are regular workers, while some delivery guys are temporary workers. When we get along, there are differences in status and treatment. Everyone's conditions are the same. We interact on an equal footing, and no one should discriminate against anyone.

But if outsourced personnel are mixed with regular employees and work in the same place, this unfair status gap will be magnified. This... can be described as unreasonable.

Zhou Buqi took a deep breath and asked, "How could such a thing happen?"

Li Jundao: "All our colleagues in China do this."

"I remember, in previous years, there wasn't any at all."

When Zhou Buqi was in charge of Ziweixing a few years ago, he also had outsourcing business, but he contracted out part of the business and let external outsourcing companies do it, instead of inviting external outsourcing teams into the company.

Li Jundao: "It's different now. In the past, a fresh graduate with a total annual salary of 100,000 yuan was already a very good employee. Now the labor cost is very high. A fresh graduate with a similar salary They all have an annual salary of 200,000 yuan, and those who are top-notch have a total annual salary of 300,000 yuan, which is higher than the cost of social recruitment.”

This is the reverse effect in economics.

Many times, the reality is opposite to the perceived situation.

Is a salary increase really a good thing?

If you get a salary increase, it means you are not far from unemployment.

Workers all hope for a salary increase. In recent years, domestic workers have received salary increases one after another.

On the surface, a wage increase is certainly a good thing.

But there is also the invisible force of the market economy behind it. Wages have increased, but jobs have been lost...More and more manufacturing factories are moving to Southeast Asia and India, where labor costs are lower.

Workers have received a salary increase, but their jobs have disappeared.

What to do if you lose your job?

In order to work, workers can only take the initiative to downgrade, give themselves a knife, and strive for a lower salary, as long as they can have a job, even if they do some work that is humiliating.

Overtime, striver agreement, low wages, no benefits, no five insurances and one housing fund... These are not serious in fact. The most serious thing is not being able to find a job.

Being exploited by capitalists is indeed abhorrent.

However, what is more cruel than being exploited by capitalists is that if you want to be exploited by capitalists, the capitalists will not exploit you, and they will not give you a job opportunity at all.

I just didn’t expect that in just a few years, this trend would spread to the Internet field.

The reason why many outstanding young people can endure employment discrimination and accept the cruel and exploitative work model of outsourcing is mainly because exploitation is better than no job.

The overall salary of the Internet is rising sharply.

It looks beautiful and crazy.

The situation behind the scenes is actually due to the sharp increase in wages, which has led to a significant increase in the threshold for formal employment, resulting in more people being reduced to outsourcing jobs.

Zhou Buqi cannot accept it!
