At the beginning of this year, Beisen cloud computing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Beisen), which rushed to the first share of HR SaaS in the Hong Kong stock exchange, is facing a new round of public opinion crisis - in the past week, more and more fresh students claimed to be cut off one after another. In a rights protection group composed of Beisen school enrollment, these young people complain repeatedly every day. It is reported that the details of this layoff mainly include:
- The number of new students whose contracts have been broken has reached 100. The proportion of new students whose contracts have been broken in 2022 is close to 30%, mainly new students. The education background of the laid-off personnel includes master's degree.
- In terms of compensation for breach of contract, undergraduate students and master students are compensated 3000 yuan and 6000 yuan respectively. At present, some personnel have received payment from Beisen. However, due to the breach of the contract and the loss of fresh students' aura, many people have encountered great challenges in finding jobs again.
- Beisen is still recruiting fresh students of 2023. This behavior is considered by those who break the contract as "white whoring" fresh students' labor force, which is an irresponsible performance of the company.
At present, the official response of Beisen has denied the above statement. Beisen said, "the extreme remarks on enrollment and appointment at school are contrary to the actual situation. Beisen has tried its best to ensure and propose the preparation of college enrollment plans."
"The prohibition is to prevent communication and facilitate layoffs"
The fresh students of Beisen broke the contract in April, and the large-scale layoffs started on May 23. On the pulse platform, the Beisen incident has caused waves of waves.
Sina science and technology has entered a rights protection group composed of newly laid-off Beisen students and a small number of on-the-job employees. The group has nearly 80 members and nearly 60 active people. Everyone is sharing their painful experience of being laid off and looking for a job.
"As far as I know, six masters have been laid off. At present, some of the laid-off employees' enterprise wechat has not been eliminated, and the total number of fresh students who have broken the contract is about 100." A fresh student initiated a contract breaking survey. According to the conclusion, the proportion of fresh students in Beisen is close to 30%.
"In 2022, the number of Beisen's official school recruitment group exceeded 400. At present, all members of the community are forbidden to speak. The purpose of the prohibition is to prevent people from communicating with each other and facilitate layoffs."
"The only way to find a job now is through social recruitment. As major enterprises are laying off workers, it is too difficult to find another job without the aura of fresh students." Some laid-off workers said that they had submitted several resumes in recent days, but the probability of receiving an interview invitation was very small. After many messages were sent out on the recruitment website, "it still shows that HR has not read them yet".
What makes it more difficult for the students who have broken the contract to accept is that Beisen is still recruiting a large number of 2023 students. In a group called the 2023rd Beisen cloud computing school enrollment 2, the number of members has reached 173.
"I feel that the company's idea is to recruit a group of fresh students to come in, prostitute the labor force for half a year at a low price, and then compensate 3000 yuan for breaking the contract, and then continue to hurt the next fresh students", the fresh students who were laid off questioned.
Losses have been expanding in the past three years
According to the data, Beisen is an HR SaaS enterprise established in 2002. Previously, it was listed on the new third board in 2016, but delisted two years later. Subsequently, the prospectus was formally submitted to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on January 10, 2022, and it was proposed to be listed on the main board. Morgan Stanley and CICC acted as co sponsors.
After listing, Beisen will also be called the first share of local HR SaaS. However, from the financial report data, Beisen's losses have never stopped. As of March 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, Beisen's revenue was RMB 382million, RMB 459million and RMB 556million respectively; The net losses were 690million yuan, 1.27 billion yuan and 94million yuan respectively. In addition, within the six months from April 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021, Beisen's loss has further expanded, reaching 820million yuan.
Due to the epidemic situation, international situation and many other factors, the market environment in 2022 is extremely cold. In order to save costs, many companies have taken measures to optimize / downsize.
Due to the high training cost of fresh students, there is no way to join the company and start working immediately. At the same time, the cost of layoffs is low, so in the case of pre cooling in the industry, it first becomes the target of layoffs.
Previously, the ideal and Xiaopeng of new energy automobile brands also successively exposed the enrollment of schools that broke the contract. As for Beisen's breach of contract and causing a sensation in the outside world, the CEO of an enterprise said in a speech, "HR has planted a brand in the end of HR services, which also shows how difficult the current unicorn is. Beisen's Prospectus has suffered heavy losses. At this time, it's not surprising to decide to lay off employees, but if this matter is handled more perfectly, it will not become a public event."
"For example, it doesn't cost much to give more compensation and comfort, but it destroys the first trust of many young people in society. This is really bad." The CEO said. He suggested that the fresh student who has been breached the contract said, "the enterprise shall pay liquidated damages for breach of contract. In case of delay in completion due to breach of contract, the students can retain the evidence to protect their rights, and can also expose information in the public domain to give pressure to the enterprise."
