Chery Automobile: Labor alienation and distortion of human nature under the "896" overtime system
In this era of advocating people-oriented, Chery Automobile seems to be doing the opposite, pushing employees into the abyss of "voluntary" dedication. The recently exposed "896" overtime phenomenon is like a sharp dagger, piercing the protective net of labor laws and regulations, and deeply penetrating the hearts of countless employees.
"896", a simple combination of numbers, but behind it is the blood, sweat and tears of employees who have been squeezed dry. 20 hours of overtime per week, with an average of more than 3 hours of overtime per day, and the "return" of all this is only a mere 10 yuan meal supplement, as if to tell employees that their extra efforts are only worth a simple working meal. What is even more eye-popping is that overtime is not only unpaid, but also has become a bargaining chip in the inter-departmental competition, and the threat of elimination at the end is like a sword of Damocles, hanging above the head of every employee, making overtime from forced to survival instinct, completely subverting the value and dignity of labor.
The practice of closing the clock-in history and whitewashing the peace of the peace exposes the company's disregard for the basic rights and interests of employees and its attempt to circumvent laws and regulations. Let's ask, how can an enterprise that does not even dare to face up to the real working status of its employees can produce products that consumers can trust, and how can it bear social responsibility and responsibility?
What's even more chilling is that those fresh graduates who should be full of passion and ideals are full of hope to join Chery, but they are slapped in the face in the reality of "a monthly salary of 4,800 and nearly 300 hours of work per month". The hourly wage is 16 yuan, which is not only lower than the legal minimum wage, but also an extreme depreciation of knowledge and creativity. In such an environment, where does innovation come from? Where's the passion?
Taking "Saturday as a working day for strivers" as the guideline, Chery Automobile seems to be emulating the "wolf culture" of some companies, but ignores the most important point - real struggle should be based on recognition and respect for the value of employees, rather than endless oppression and moral kidnapping. Beautifying overtime as "struggle" is a blasphemy of the spirit of struggle and a violation of the legitimate rights and interests of employees.
In the face of public opinion's doubts, Chery Automobile's silence seems to have acquiesced in these injustices. The success of a business should not be built at the expense of the well-being of its employees. In this era of global competition, the core competitiveness of enterprises is not only reflected in the leading technology and market, but also in the respect and care for employees. If it continues to ignore the rights and interests of employees, Chery Automobile may lose not only talents, but also the trust and future of the market.
It's time to reflect, it's time to change. Chery Automobile, you owe the employees a justice, and the society owes an explanation. Let overtime return to reasonableness, let struggle return to the truth, and let every employee's contribution be duly respected and rewarded, which is the right way for the long-term development of the enterprise.
