Is Tencent's Non-Competition Agreement covering almost the whole Internet true?

Hello, the non-competition agreement exists and is legal and effective. Take the Tencent dispute some time ago as an example.

As a leading Internet vendor in China, Tencent's ability to absorb gold has always been top-notch. The competition between game manufacturers is not only manifested in the product level, but also in the behind-the-scenes killing of big manufacturers. Two former employees of Tencent were fined one million yuan after leaving their jobs. Instead, he left for three years for nothing.

1, Internet giant "behind the scenes"

As the leader of the Internet industry, Tencent has always regarded today's headline department, Sina department, Netease department, Ali department, Qihoo department and many other departments as competitive relationships. In the field of games, Tencent will also include many well-known domestic game companies such as Shengqu, Perfect, Giant, Jinshan and Duoyi as competitors.

Employees who participate in core projects will generally sign a notice of non-competition after leaving their jobs, and receive high non-competition compensation every month after leaving their jobs. They are not allowed to work for competitors. In fact, not only Tencent will do this, but also employees who participate in the core projects of Internet vendors will sign such notices.

These two employees are responsible for the background development of games such as Knife Knife, Happy Ball Eating, Infinite Rule, etc. The restriction of non-competition sounds inhuman, but in fact, the goose factory still has the demeanor of a big factory, that is: rich and willful!

According to the non-competition regulations, the term of non-competition signed after leaving the company is only one whole year. In fact, this is also to prevent the leakage of core projects, which is understandable. In this whole year, although you are not allowed to work in a competitor's office, the compensation for non-competition offered by Goose Factory is very high, which is similar to the salary of not leaving your job.

2. Tencent employees were fined one million yuan for their annual salary of 300,000 yuan: three years for nothing.

Previously, the two employees in charge of game development earned 25,000 yuan and 32,000 yuan per month during their employment, and received 22,500 yuan and 24,600 yuan of non-competition compensation from Tencent every month after leaving the company. However, after the non-competition was signed, two employees were arranged to work in Mihayou three months later, engaged in the development of Collapse 3 and Genshin Impact.

What does a monthly salary of 25,000 look like in the eyes of ordinary people? But in the goose factory, there are still so many! The former employee who was sued by Goose Factory for illegal compensation of one million yuan thought that as an ordinary employee, he did not master Tencent's business secrets.

In the public's cognition, the non-competition agreement is often set for the middle and high-level personnel of the company or those who have confidential information. However, in this case, as a basic software developer, he was sued by Tencent and awarded millions of compensation after leaving his job to join Mihayou, which surprised many ordinary employees.

In this regard, Zhao Jiawei said that the signing of the non-competition agreement is not based on the rank of employees, but mainly depends on the specific work content of employees. In Internet companies, grassroots development employees often master the core structure of products, so it is understandable that Tencent uses non-competition agreements to limit the employment scope of departing employees.

3. Tencent ordinary grassroots development employees have a monthly salary of 32,000? !

What kind of experience is it to enter a big factory like Tencent for development? As an ordinary developer at the grassroots level, the monthly salary of Goose Factory is not too much, is it?

The salary structure of Tencent employees is generally12+1+1=14, but they usually get 16-20, and the year-end bonus depends on the profitability of the department. Even compared with civil servants in first-tier cities like Shenzhen, Tencent's salary level is not too high.

At present, the post grade of Goose Factory is 14 (4- 17). Accordingly, it is uniformly replaced with "professional rank+title". According to the monthly salary of 32,000 yuan, this employee belongs to the program development employee, ranking 9.

However, although the salary structure of Goose Factory is generally 16 salary, judging from the quotation, there are actually many teams with 18 salary. There is a big salary and stock gap between different internal professional lines. Tencent games team's salary and year-end bonus are generally higher, while Tencent Cloud's stock share is higher than that of the game team.

Who are Tencent employees with a monthly salary of 32,000? Take the recruitment demand of Goose Factory as an example. In addition to the previously recruited Switch game porting client development and Switch product planning, Tencent released more job recruitment about Switch.

According to the recruitment requirements, the position of Web Front-end Development Engineer is mainly responsible for the related Web requirements in Nintendo Switch, including the development of official website, shopping malls and related internal operating systems.

However, the skill requirements of Node.js are usually the necessary skills of Web full-stack engineers. This also confirms what Zhao Jiawei said. In Internet companies, grassroots developers often master the core architecture of products. Therefore, for an Internet giant like Tencent, a high salary is inevitable.

With a mature curriculum system and practical platform, it is not difficult to get certification and become a member of a big factory like Tencent. What you may lack is the courage to get a high salary in a big factory and the perseverance to keep learning and making progress. I wish you an early and high salary!

I hope my answer is helpful to you!
