Generally speaking, the enterprise bad management, reduce cost and merger &reorganization is cut happened three main reasons. Lenovo big layoffs last year is the strategic readjustment results. Lenovo regression PC industry, to the original investment business such as the high performance server, IT service is cut down, workers also can only be cutting. Siemens mobile business be cut, fuse is benq acquisition Siemens mobile department, underlying reason is the Siemens mobile long-term huge losses.

A domestic famous IT company the human resources director HuangXiaoPing analysis said, according to the goal of redundancy and jobs can be divided into three types: jobs, economy, jobs structural optimization of job cuts. The business of the company is structural downsizing direction changes, for example business direction adjustment, a department was cut off, the original people will have to go. Economic employee refers to companies in order to reduce the cost. Optimization sex refers to eliminate jobs redundant personnel, improve the working efficiency of the personnel.

In fact, not only in the business world exist layoffs, before a few years of national office downsizing to improve efficiency, army streamlined, can be regarded as a "downsizing". From the situation at that time see, the authorities downsizing to improve efficiency is already "RuJianZaiXian", have to carry on. In a few years the state organ’s operating efficiency, to a certain extent layoffs broke on the big-pot roce traditional, improve the authority of the army and production capacity.

How to get rid of "be cut" fate?

"Fall in love each other as, perhaps not. But think about who first dumped, in the mind all funny." A staff so describe after downsizing of mind.

"The lifelong service a company an anachronism." HuangXiaoPing said, to job cuts, the staff should have a relatively gentle state of mind. In order to avoid one day be "wipe out", she suggested that employees should cultivate a lifelong "employment ability". In the organization is training its own core competitive ability and an alternative.

"Our company in recent years have also been some adjustment, why some people always have the position, some people have to leave? The boss is no fool. If who all make uncertain things, you can do the trick, boss will never let a man of value to leave." HuangXiaoPing think, between the enterprise and the staff is "two-way choice". If the employee has not instead of sex, is the employee may in turn "fire company".

In July this year new employees into company training class, HuangXiaoPing for new staff speak association of the company is not "house of this case. Huang director frank said, sometimes more confused, on the one hand, hope employees have the hero spirit of their own, with the fate of the fate of the company together. On the other hand, don’t want employees to think that a company has to "tube staff everything."

At last she said with new employees, the company is still employees "home". The "home" have two layer interpretation:, one can give employees with some security, two means employees must have "responsibility and value."

"Employees for personal accumulation in capital and resources at the same time, should create value for enterprises. The individual goals and objectives are combined together. If one side wins side loses imbalance of the results, not the company fired is staff was laid." HuangXiaoPing said.

A human resources magazine had the survey, most of the CEO and executives that so-called key staff, is to be able to continue for enterprise development to create value for employees. At the same time, is considered the most of no value to the staff, is to have been made for the enterprise value of the employees.

Xu is old IT people, experience too many companies of job cuts. He said China’s employees in jobs to keep the "professional mentality" will avoid being hurt. The so-called professional refers to "professional + dedicated". Major, with the ability to post requirement; Professional, refers to rationally treat work, too lazy and passion is also not rational.

 

Although kai-fu lee said, "I’m sure Microsoft is my service and the last of the commercial company," but just eight months, the Microsoft global vice President decided to leave, and accept the invitation of Google, as Google global vice President and President of China. The top job immediately caused uproar, Microsoft in violation of prohibition on the agreement will Google and li kaifu against the United States court together.

Kai-fu lee lightning job-hopping

This is a rare case of personnel with appointed, and in two of the world’s top happened between the company, the more attractive beitou. Google China President had been leave a seat vacant, sohu former President gu yongqiang, yahoo China’s former head of ZhouHong wei has been the industry will climb to the rumours about "throne", but the riddle just uncover until yesterday, Google announced in the United States by the second quarter earnings of the machine, and suddenly the President announced China by Microsoft former vice President li kaifu as.

Microsoft sued immediately

Foundation was suddenly dug the Microsoft, then Google company together and li kaifu prosecution, request the court asked for dr. Li kaifu and Google company respect and abide by him to join with Microsoft signed confidentiality of Microsoft and the competition agreement.

Microsoft thinks, Google and a violation of the lee kai-fu lee signed contracts with Microsoft’s work. Search technology is in during the Microsoft li kaifu "key", and accept the work of Google kai-fu lee is a violation of the original signed within a year after leaving Microsoft do not get in the competition work contracts. And he says he will have Microsoft’s secrets to Google’s dangerous. Microsoft lawyers potter said Google to provide the position of li kaifu not only direct competition with Microsoft, and with him is in Microsoft’s work in direct competition.

A new club support kai-fu lee

Google spokesman said that Microsoft allegations are baseless and said to protect themselves against actively to support kai-fu lee.

And what made the promotion to Microsoft vice President of global Chinese give up Microsoft from all of the high, don’t even avoid enterprise competition between too, resolutely decided to join another American company? Yesterday, Google company statement quoted li kaifu’s words, my goal has been, let all the user can use advanced technology, and benefit from it, but also let advanced technology to promote China’s dynamic growth today and innovation. Lee said, only joined Google, just can make me realize at the same time in passion to return to China, to start the exciting career.

Google aggressively into China

Google says, its China academy of engineering physics, in the third quarter of this year will be formally established. Dr. Li kaifu hired as the important position, reveal the Google in China built successful engineering research institute and internationalization of determination. It also means that Google in search of overseas numerous product lines will also with the leader in place has been introduced into China market.

Although Chinese netizens use Google to provide search services for years, but this year to Google and China market terms for different. Google first open an office in Shanghai, China would also set up, and quietly begun in the university campus recruitment. With $300 and share price, a Google more than $80 billion to the market value of, let it in the development of China’s market is full of imagination.

Also has the personage inside course of study thinks, because the body of the lawsuit, kai-fu lee when on earth can lead Google China officially team concentrate on China’s search market, power play, now see still uncertain.

People dig has mentally prepared

Well-known Internet critics LvWeiGang views very typical. And he said, from Google please join this li kaifu, it can be seen that the Google for the Chinese market exposed the great ambition. The incident itself to Google in the Chinese market, long-term plans, strategy, of the entire market to the great influence of cannot small gaze. Google in invited the decision before joining li kaifu, must have done two psychological preparation: one kind is Google’s legal adviser was ready to countermeasures, Microsoft can not tell win; Another is Google are willing to bear the legal consequences, ready for Microsoft of preparation, because Google that the meaning of joining li kaifu, far bigger than compensation for the economic losses of Microsoft.

Of course, there is also a voice that Microsoft will not give up easily.

Mr. Li kaifu key

The Chinese American born in Taiwan, to use for groundbreaking principles of statistics developed the world’s first "speaker-independent speech recognition system for" to establish himself in the information technology field of research status. Was an apple technical experts, and later appointed as Microsoft global vice President.

 

 

The personage inside course of study thinks, the Chinese Internet new a "people shortage" again, the most "waste" the software development engineers.

IT launches war talent competition. Today, the Microsoft advanced technology center will be established Shanghai branch, and Microsoft in China and to solicit a batch of software engineer.

Microsoft has announced that Chinese high-profile, fiscal year 2006 (July 2005-June 2006) will be in China for about 800 new employees. Among them, more than half of new hires for researchers. At the same time, there are nearly 300 jobs for graduates.

In addition, founded in July Microsoft Internet technology (China) is expected in the next few years will also expand hundreds of software engineer. This research institutions and set up in Beijing and Shanghai, committed to the development of the Internet service, including MSN search, etc.

In fiscal 2005, Microsoft China become Microsoft global business growth speed one of the subsidiary. Microsoft CEO Chen yongzheng was revealed in the greater China region, Microsoft China is continually establish more research and development centers and offices. Current Google China President li kaifu in court in a statement, said in July this year he leaves, Microsoft is scheduled to China every year plan to move up to 1000 DuoGe position.

"China’s Internet new a ‘people’ again come, waste most ‘waste’ the software development engineer." The Internet analysts 6 said. And in 51 job human resources experts SunHongGang view, the "Microsoft to rob for human resources, in Google launched talent war to front limit Google in China’s development." He thinks, with baidu and Google listed in China, and the search for talent for sure more intense.

In fact, the Internet search giant Google to China’s Internet talent is in the bag. It not only in the U.S. big dig Microsoft’s foundation, in order to and Microsoft and baidu in China market competition, Google July from Microsoft to dig a Google China President li kaifu. The move angered Microsoft, Microsoft to lee non-compete agreement violates the lawsuit, and ask the court ruled that a year for Google li kaifu may not work.

Yesterday, Microsoft Sue Google and kai-fu lee case court session in the United States. And Google recently in a court document, said in the lawsuit li kaifu Microsoft job, because Microsoft worry in China the influence students kai-fu lee. And this year to Google can’t got li kaifu in China of recruitment activities will make a big impact. Google planned to send this year China r&d center main li kaifu recruitment, there will be a lot of 2006 sessions of graduates need to be assessment and recruitment.

But Google now can only look at Microsoft to search in China human resources. Recruitment website chinahr.com insiders said Microsoft recruitment mainly from three aspects, that is, the campus recruitment, social recruitment and hunt. The Microsoft campus recruitment main and chinahr.com cooperation, chinahr.com will be in the national key school talent for Microsoft reserves. Microsoft is released 300 people, but the actual reserves is far more than the number.

Google Mi director of Asia Pacific products to the daily economic news, says Google in China’s recruitment is in, mainly to software engineer. But chinahr.com, analysts say whether campus and social recruitment, have not found that Google in China have what relevant action, chinahr.com are close attention.

Kai-fu lee July when China has said that Google’s talents policy is, as long as it is suitable, whatever you have. Baidu CEO LiYanHong said baidu talent policies also is such.

"Baidu often human resource meeting held, research, the talents problems." Baidu LiangDong vice President, said the mature software engineer for search is not much, in order to expand business, baidu in retaining talent, we should at the same time actively cultivate university graduates.
