Chapter 1971 Layoffs

Jiuzhou Technology has never cheated its users or partners, but even though Jiuzhou Technology has made a great name for itself in the Blue Star Technology circle, people still find it "unacceptable".

A private technology company can actually enter the aerospace field and even build a base on the moon! ?

Is this world still normal?

The world has never been a single entity, and globalized trade has never been a self-contained business.

May.

Unemployment broke out.

Intel Corporation of America announced on the 1st that it would lay off 45% of its employees, a total of about 8,000 people.

This is the largest layoff in Intel's history after years of layoffs. After facing the pressure of long-term performance decline, Intel's CEO said solemnly: "In order to cut costs, improve efficiency and increase company profits, layoffs will be completed before October 1.

The company needs fundamental changes and will reorganize the structure and operations of the entire company. The company plans to cut operating expenses and capital expenditures by at least $5 billion and suspend dividends to shareholders."

Lawrence, who is in charge of the branch, announced to all employees: "Dear colleagues, it is very regrettable that the head office has decided to move the factory to Sydney, Australia. Employees who are interested in working in Australia can apply to the human resources department."

The employees who heard the news were surprised and panicked.

"What!? What?"

"How can this be!!!..."

"The company is going to lay off employees again? Didn't they finish the layoffs last year and the year before, and promised not to lay off employees on a large scale again?"

"Fuck, I just bought a Titan processor and am preparing to shine in the spiritual ecology and start my live broadcast career. If there are layoffs this time, I'm afraid the layoff subsidies can only support me for half a year."

"Are they going to lay off employees again? I've only been in the company for half a year, so I shouldn't be laid off, right?"

The grassroots employees were surprised and angry, and Intel's middle-level employees and middle-level managers were also panicking. If it were twenty years ago, with their skills, qualifications, connections and resources, even if they just left Intel, they would be able to work in a good technology company tomorrow, and they might even get a higher position and more salary because the new company is not as good.

Moreover, they have worked at Intel for many years and have a lot of savings to support their work and life after the layoffs.

But nowadays, Intel's middle-level employees and middle-level managers all know one thing clearly: if they leave Intel, 90% of them will not be able to find a job with the same income. Even if they want to work backwards, they have to accept a salary reduction of more than half to have a job.

That is, years of hard work have gone to waste. They have been demoted from middle-level management to grassroots management, and elite employees who received dividends from the middle level have been demoted to grassroots employees in other companies.

According to media reports, Intel's stock price suffered a heavy blow that day, plummeting by about 30% in after-hours trading.

The former king of semiconductor technology companies, after experiencing the rise of companies such as Daxia Jiuzhou Technology and Xiaxin Technology, and then experiencing the backstabs of latecomers such as AMD, has only a few thousand employees left before the third decade of this century.

Everyone is lamenting Intel's loneliness, sighing,

May 20, 1029 of the Xia Yinxing calendar.

When this somewhat coincidental digital day came, Pingguo Company announced the closure of the artificial intelligence research team, the reduction of Pingguo iPhone team members, and the company's overall layoffs of 29%.

The former technology innovation company is sharpening its knife to pigs and sheep.

In the Jiuzhou community, an industry staff compiled a list of layoffs and recorded:

"All the information in this data comes from official announcements of major companies and institutions and official documents of local officials.

The brief situation is that from the 1019th year of the Xia Yin star calendar to the present, the number of Microsoft layoffs has reached 41,900. The latest plan revealed that it will lay off another 10,000 people worldwide to catch up with Intel.

After laying off 12,000 people last year, Google will publicly announce layoffs again, and it will last for a whole year. Perhaps it is because Google's advertising revenue has dropped sharply due to the existence of products such as the Jiuzhou community and the spiritual ecology;

As of January 1029 of the Xia Yin star calendar, Amazon has laid off more than 37,000 people, almost affecting all its departments...

Interestingly, large-scale layoffs The companies are almost all Western technology companies listed on the U.S. stock market. When these companies were performing a domino-style layoff storm, the U.S. stock market also had six consecutive circuit breakers and more than five suspensions of trading since last year.

At the beginning, because the business was sluggish, these technology companies were rushing to let artificial intelligence AI replace front-line employees on the job. With the help of artificial intelligence AI, the technology giants seemed to have found a way to do more with less money.

However, because the business slump has not slowed down, the output results of AI customer service, AI copywriting and other work AI are not satisfactory, resulting in these companies' products being abandoned by users more and more quickly. "

The multinational giants that once had tens of thousands of employees, or even hundreds of thousands of employees, have now been laid off and reduced to ordinary companies with only a few thousand employees.

Although after the layoffs, the remaining employees were promised that they would not be laid off this year.

But what about next year?

What about the future?

The lighthouses of Western financial and technology companies are extinguished one after another.

And in the East.

Although Daxia Jiuzhou Technology Company will not recruit employees on a large scale, Xiawei Technology Company, Xiaxin Technology, BYD Company, Yanjing Youyan, Jindongfang Technology Company, etc., in order to provide better services and more products to users in the global market, are all expanding without exception.

According to geographical division, Bluestar Global has many markets such as Western Europe, North America, Africa, Southeast Asia, etc.

The Bluestar Joint Organization generally divides countries in the world into three categories in relevant statistics: developed country markets, developing country markets, and centrally planned economy countries.

However, no matter how the market division is defined, commodity trading will not change.

Bluestar Global's textile market, grain and oil market, machinery market, chemical market and other large markets, as well as the wheat market, coffee market, smartphone market, automobile market and other markets with subdivided varieties, all show that Western capital has shrunk significantly, and Eastern capital and enterprises in developing and underdeveloped countries have begun to gradually increase.

Just when the employees of these companies in Daxia lamented that the project workload could not compare with their counterparts in Europe and the United States, their counterparts in Europe and the United States were also envious of the job stability of their counterparts in Daxia.
