What should you do in the face of company strategic adjustments and structural changes?

Recently, Didi and Uber merged. When the two companies merged, some people would be laid off. Facing the company structure adjustment and changes, many people are confused. What should they do? To go or to stay, that is the question?

When faced with a company's strategic adjustment, you generally have two choices. One is to be laid off and leave with compensation; the other is to take a pay cut and demote to continue working in the company. What would you choose? As a senior career planner, here are some tips for you:

1. It depends on whether the company has development prospects and whether the management has a strategic vision. What should you do if you say that the company's prospects and strategic vision are very vague and you can't understand them? If it is an emerging industry, it may be a blue ocean in the future, and the prospects will be very broad, but it is hard to say when we will see the light of day. So it depends on fate and luck. If it's a windfall, then you've made the right bet. You may become a flying pig. If you endure it for a while, you may become a millionaire. It's worth it. If not, then you are willing to admit defeat. You can only say that you are very unlucky.

Let’s talk about the strategic vision of the management. It is normal for the organizational structure of entrepreneurial companies to change frequently. A small change takes three days, and a major change takes five days. It is commonplace and commonplace. Because some things need to be explored and advanced amidst changes. As long as the general direction remains unchanged during the change process, it is good. However, if the general direction of the company's strategy changes, the company's original positioning of online car travel booking services will be changed to automobile manufacturing services. It seems that it is still engaged in the automobile industry, but in fact it has changed from an Internet third-party service to a secondary industry. Manufacturing, this is an industrial transformation and industry adjustment. At this time, you can judge the strategic vision of the company's management. They are not opening up the industrial chain, but changing from one industry to another. This is actually risky. As an ordinary employee, you cannot understand the basis for the change. At this time, you still can’t understand, what should you do?

At this time, you can only make decisions through the judgment of your boss and superiors. You have worked with them at least once, and you have a certain understanding of their behavior and personality style. Whether you think your boss is reliable, honest, and true to his word also determines whether you can be with him or not. Let’s continue fighting side by side.

If you are not clear about the above three points, let’s look at the second point.

2. It depends on the surrounding environment and other people. If everyone in the entire department is laid off, and everyone else leaves the company with compensation, and you are demoted and transferred to another department, you may have to adapt to new leaders, new colleagues, and new partners. In fact, It’s no different than if you were to move to a new company.

There is a story about layoffs, which is a real experience of a friend. I think it is quite interesting, so I would like to share it. On an ordinary morning, the company said it was going to hold an emergency meeting and sent a bus to bring about 50 people from the entire company department onto the bus to a hotel venue. The chairman was a Chinese-American. , speaking in less than standard Mandarin, said: I have decided to close the company. You will go through the resignation procedures when you return to the company later.

With one sentence, your career in this company will end. You didn't react for a moment, you were stunned. On the way here, you were still on the phone with the customer to communicate about the delivery. Now you are about to resign. Before this, there was no warning at all. It was too sudden and unexpected.

When I came back, in the huge office of the company, only colleagues from the human resources department and people from Fesco were there. They were waiting for everyone to go through the resignation procedures. In order to fear that someone would cause trouble and cause adverse effects, people from other departments Everyone has gone home for the holidays. Although some people complain that the company is unkind, some people wonder why? Some people were arguing for more compensation, and the whole office was in a commotion. There are more than 50 people in the business department, including old employees who have worked for more than 5 years, new employees who have worked for less than half a year, and interns who have just been here for less than 2 weeks. Everyone is quarreling, quarreling, and finally on this day. , was laid off and resigned silently.

The workplace is changing so rapidly, and there is no certainty. In the morning, you are still a member of the company, and in the afternoon, you become a resigned dog.

If the economic situation is not good, the entire employment environment is not ideal, it is not easy to find a job, or the opportunity cost is quite high, you need to analyze your value in the workplace, because everyone has a price. .

If you are asked to continue doing your original job or it is less difficult than your original job, you are completely competent and in control, but you are demoted and your salary is reduced. At this time, evaluate your price and supply situation in the job market, and evaluate how long it will take for you to find a job with a salary similar to that before the salary reduction. If you have confidence in yourself and your future plans, and can find a new job within a month or two, then you can leave gracefully with your compensation.

If you are not sure about your future and have no confidence in yourself, and you still want to stay in your original company, then it depends on your negotiation skills. As a person who works hard in the workplace, your value is the salary you deserve. Generally, it is easier to accept a demotion. The amount of salary reduction directly affects your living standard. Therefore, the amount of salary reduction depends on your ability to negotiate with your boss, so you should think twice before taking action.

If your boss chats with you as soon as he comes up, due to the company budget and the company strategy adjustment, your department will lay off employees and the staff in your department will be cut in half. As the company manager, you will also have to Taken a pay cut, demoted, merged into a new department.

At this time, you should first understand the situation in other departments, and do not rush to reply to the boss first. After understanding the situation with people in other departments, and then analyzing the industry, economic situation and employment environment, you can then decide to negotiate with the boss to decide whether to stay or not, as well as the extent of salary reduction and the scope of future job responsibilities.

If the situation is that some departments have salary cuts, some departments have no changes, and some departments have salary increases, you will be a little dumbfounded when faced with such a complicated situation and cannot understand it. You have to look at the general trend. If layoffs and salary reductions are the trend, and most people choose to leave, or the decline in most departments is around 20-30%, you think it only needs to be lower than 30%. If the decline is low, If it's less than 50%, it might be better to just take the compensation and leave. But it also depends on your overall assessment of the company and your expectations of your own value.

You are valuable (don’t doubt this, believe in your own value), but from the company’s point of view, your value is not what it needs most at the moment. If the company keeps you, it will definitely still be We value your value, but the importance of your value has become less important in the eyes of the company!

Okay, after analyzing so much, you know how to choose. If you still have questions, please make an appointment for consultation! Haha....
