6 million rooms in Shenzhen are actually not expensive at all.
In fact, in Shenzhen, 6 million houses are not expensive at all. In the main city, 6 million houses are basically either apartments or dilapidated. The house bought by this programmer should be far from the main city. But 6 million is not a small sum for ordinary people, and many families can only pay a down payment with their life savings. So the pressure on this programmer is actually great.
Why were you fired? The reason behind it is cruel.
The programmer was laid off for a simple reason. One is that the employer thinks he is old, and the other is that he has not created value in his post. He can only muddle along in one post for a long time, which is of no value to the company. From the company's point of view, dismissing older employees is based on interests. But from the employee's point of view, unemployment at an older age is equal to stagnation and even waterloo.
The cause of crying, the solution
The reason why he was in tears was that it was difficult for a programmer his age to find a job. This is the chaos in the Internet industry. Old age is worthless. With a sum of compensation, the next life development is hopeless. Many people may say that they are only in their thirties, so why bother? However, from the perspective of the Internet, if you are in your thirties, you can't stay up late to resist stress. If you have a family and a baby, you will be distracted. If you can't play light and heat for the company, it will be worthless. Unless you are in management, you are worthless. This is why many middle-aged people choose to send takeout to middle age.
At present, there is no better way than forcing employers not to fire older employees. But there are policies above and countermeasures below. In a sense, we ordinary workers are still very weak.
We can all understand the pain of this programmer crying. But I still hope he can cheer up and dry his tears. Although the door to Internet work in Shenzhen may not be open to him, there is no way out. As long as you have a pair of hands, everything has a chance. 360 lines make a champion.
I hope that after this programmer incident, this society can reflect. Is a fast-rising industry and a high-paying industry worth fighting for? The so-called propaganda Internet programmers have high salaries, and behind them are high-intensity overtime. With so much money, they have a fixed number of years and will be dismissed when they reach the age. How many programmers can achieve wealth freedom by saving before the age of 35? Especially in a city like Shenzhen, how difficult is it to buy a house with money and freedom? I believe that every friend who works hard in first-tier cities knows it very well.
