Why does a company crowd out excellent employees and then keep recruiting people?

A netizen told a story on the Internet: He works in a start-up decoration company, with more than 50 employees/kloc-0. In the early days, everyone worked hard and paid a lot for the company. They often worked overtime to handle the work for the company and made great contributions to the company's development and growth. Finally, he got on the right track and found a strange thing. A large number of capable and excellent employees in the company were forced to resign, regardless of the company, and then hired management.

It seems unreasonable, but it is reasonable to think about it carefully.

There are two reasons:

1. You can have trouble, but you can't have wealth.

When the company is in turmoil, companies that need the support of excellent employees should of course be kind to these employees in order to maximize the company's interests.

When the company's income is stable and the business is on the right track, it is still to maximize the benefits and not let them share the cake and benefits.

It is human nature to be able to cope with adversity rather than wealth.

2. Work for Gao Zhen.

These excellent employees have made great contributions, which is their biggest mistake. Gao Zhen takes the lead, but what if the leaders can't stop him? The authority of leaders is not as good as theirs, so let them go.

How does history deal with people who have contributed to Gao Zhen? From Bai in the Warring States to Han Xin in the Han Dynasty, Wuji in the early Tang Dynasty to Yu Qian in the Ming Dynasty, these people have made great contributions, and their positions are also ministers. When there is no reward, when it is inferior to a minister, there is only death.

A wily rabbit dies, but a running dog cooks.

As the saying goes, "a wily rabbit dies, a running dog cooks". After these excellent employees have played their best role, they are useless. They stay in the company, because of their great contribution, and their wages must not be too low.

A newly-started decoration company doesn't need so many excellent employees, just a few leaders to take care of ordinary employees. Moreover, with so many excellent people in the company, the salary cost will definitely not be low. Therefore, forcing these old employees away, recruiting a few management talents from outside, plus some ordinary talents, with veterans and novices, the company's employment cost will be greatly reduced, and there will be no operational losses.

After reading this case, I can only feel that the water in the workplace is too deep.
