Hello everyone, today I would like to talk to you about the recent uproar of Ma Weidu's layoffs in arrears. This famous cultural scholar and entrepreneur seems to have turned into a hateful "capitalist" overnight, and has been questioned and blamed by all sides.
Actually, I often watch Ma Weidu's shows, and to be honest, I am very conflicted. On the one hand, I admire Ma Weidu's profound knowledge and humorous wisdom. His profound insight into traditional culture is often a mouth-watering. But on the other hand, when I saw that the problems of his business management were exposed, I also had mixed feelings.
According to Ma Weidu's response, his company did have two months in arrears of employees' wages, but it was not intentional. At the same time, he denied the claim of 80 layoffs, saying that the three companies combined have a total of 91 people, and there are still 51 people on the job. For the 38 people who left, the company also gave compensation.
On the surface, Mr. Ma has already given a responsible explanation. But in my opinion, things are far from that simple.
As a well-known cultural celebrity, Ma Weidu's words and deeds have influenced the public, and he should assume more social responsibility. Delays in the payment of wages, regardless of the reason, hurt employees. In the face of major rights and wrongs, any reason pales in comparison.
Mr. Ma has been talking about major media all year round, pointing out various events and commenting on hot social events. But when there is a problem in your own business, it seems a little helpless, and it is difficult to escape the blame.
A truly responsible entrepreneur should not only show his skills in front of the camera, but also work silently behind the scenes. Only by sincerely seeking benefits for employees and respecting the rights and interests of every ordinary worker can enterprises unite people's hearts and stimulate their fighting spirit.
As an idealist, I still want to believe that Mr. Ma has a sense of responsibility and is due to problems in the company's management and financial situation, rather than subjectively and deliberately deducting employees' wages. After all, no one wants to see the business they founded collapse when they say it's going to collapse.
But I also hope that Mr. Ma can learn from this incident, learn from the pain, strengthen internal management, improve the company's system, and listen to the voices of employees, instead of blindly singing those big truths. Only by truly respecting labor and cherishing talents from the ideological point of view can enterprises achieve steady and far-reaching results.
At the same time, I don't think the public needs to hold on to his mistakes. After all, who doesn't make mistakes? Even public figures should be allowed the opportunity to correct their mistakes.
As long as they can sincerely admit their mistakes and actively correct them, they should choose to forgive, rather than completely deny.
Any enterprise should not only take care of the immediate interests, but also assume its due social responsibility.
Only when entrepreneurs and employees go hand in hand, and the labor-management relationship is harmonious and win-win, can the enterprise be evergreen and the society can flourish.
