Guo Yun walked to the door of the personnel office, and Luo Jiajia, who was sitting inside, looked up and saw him, showing a very official smile. She got up from her seat and walked towards Guo Yun.
"Come with me." Luo Jiajia said after walking up to Guo Yun.
Luo Jiajia took Guo Yun to a small meeting room, Luo Jiajia opened the door and turned on the lights, and asked Guo Yun to sit down and shut the door.
"I think you have been working for nearly a year. I haven't talked to you for a long time. Let's talk casually today. Let's talk about what you think about work in this nearly one year." Luo Jiajia looked at Guo Yun, started the conversation.
Guo Yun secretly vomited: "Is there anything I can't tell you directly? Do you think I just graduated with such a thing?" However, he did not show any dissatisfaction on the surface, so he also said cateringly:
"I mainly developed the Feisheng project this year. At the beginning of the development of our project team 997, it was still very hard. However, it was finally launched, although there was a delay. After the launch, we also carried out a lot on this basis. The second iteration of development, the most recently updated version is 2.0", Guo Yun stated the reality like a report, and did not add any of his own thoughts.
"Well, you are really hard working as programmers. I also understand that after you went online, the performance of this project was not very good. What do you think?" Luo Jiajia continued to induce Guo Yun and let him express his own idea.
"When the project is newly launched, there will definitely be various difficulties, but I believe we will overcome the difficulties, and the project still has great potential." Guo Yun said officially that he didn't believe it, but He knows that only by saying this can Luo Jiajia feel that he is a positive person and a person of value to the company.
"Well, I also believe that this project has great potential..." Luo Jiajia paused, and continued: "Now that the project has encountered some difficulties, can you overcome them together as you said?"
"What's the difficulty?" Guo Yun pretended to be very confused on the surface, but he seemed to have an 80% certainty in his heart.
"The project has been updated and iterated for half a year, but it is quite different from the original estimate, so the company's senior management decided not to continue to invest too much resources in this project, but should invest more resources in other promising projects. So please understand. The company has decided to reduce the project team from the existing 12 to 6. Can you overcome this difficulty?” At the end, Luo Jiajia appeared embarrassed, and Guo Yun seemed to be still I saw a trace of mercy from inside, like a killer, holding a dagger in his hand, looking at the victim who is helpless in front of him, the pity flashed in his eyes, but the next second will be fierce and evil, and He stabbed and laughed wildly. Guo Yun was silent. He guessed the ending as soon as he came in, but it was still the trace of luck that supported him to the present. He didn't know what to say, only kept silent. Luo Jiajia broke the silence and continued:
"Well, you start to do the handover work today. We will write on the resignation certificate that you voluntarily resigned due to personal reasons. The handover work is controlled within two weeks. You can go out and look for other opportunities in these two weeks. "
This is a kind of comfort, but also a kind of intimidation. Guo Yun could hear that if he did not cooperate, the company would write on the resignation certificate that he was fired because of his unqualified job, which would cause a lot of trouble for him to find his next job. And Yuezhou Duofei Network Technology Co., Ltd. is a well-known enterprise in Yuezhou and even the whole country. If such a company is labelled as unqualified, it seems to mean that he will not have to mess with the Internet in the future.
"Then whom should I transfer to?" Guo Yun asked helplessly.
"Chen Liangtao. You are both server-side developers. There are still a lot of intersections. It should be better to hand over?" Luo Jiajia saw that Guo Yun did not raise any objections, and felt relaxed a lot, with a relieved smile on his face.
Guo Yun was silent for a while, "Okay", then stood up and left the conference room. When he returned to his seat, he found that Chen Liangtao, who was still there, was gone. He guessed that he might have gone to the bathroom, and then stared at the computer screen in a daze. He felt that he didn't think about anything now, but he thought about it a lot, thinking of what he would do later, thinking of how he should go home and tell his wife, thinking that it is almost the end of the year, is it easy to find a job? There are some interrogative sentences in my mind, but none of them seem to have an affirmative answer. He was looking back on what had just happened again, thinking about it, thinking that this matter must be decided by Brother Feng, he decided not to want me, HR is just a spokesperson, but Brother Feng didn’t know why he didn’t tell me, but let him HR told me. Thinking of this, he got angry, isn't it just because of my age and high salary? Worried that I will take your place one day? Brother Feng, don't you worry that this will happen to you sooner or later? After all, you and I are about the same age. And why don’t you tell me this kind of thing directly, and find an HR endorsement, it’s really nothing!
Thinking of this, from the corner of his eyes, he saw a person walking nearby, and he fixed his eyes to see that it was Chen Liangtao who had returned. When he came back, Guo Yun found that Brother Feng was slowly walking back to his seat from other places. Guo Yun stared at him bitterly, but Brother Feng never looked back until he returned to his seat and found no one was always there. Staring at him. Chen Liangtao sat down in his seat, put his hands on the table, did not unlock his monitor, but bowed his head slightly and did not speak, as if something was brewing. Upon seeing this, Guo Yun guessed that Chen Liangtao should already know something, so he took the initiative to say:
"Shall we find a place to chat?"
"Good." Chen Liangtao replied immediately, as if the brewing just now was waiting for this proposal.
Guo Yun proposed to go to a cafe downstairs to chat, anyway, he has no job now, and he has to leave, and he doesn't want to stay in this disgusting company for another minute. Chen Liangtao did not object either.
You can still see familiar faces of some companies in the cafe. Although they can't be named, they know they belong to their own company. After seeing them, the two nodded politely and found a corner to sit down. The waiter saw the two sitting down and came over enthusiastically and asked:
"Excuse me, what can you drink?"
"Mocha," said Guo Yun. He knew that he should drink something sweet when he was in a bad mood, and then asked Chen Liangtao:
"How about you?"
"I want a latte," Chen Liangtao said. After the waiter took notes, they asked them to buy the order at the front desk. Guo Yun got up to go, and Chen Liangtao also rushed to buy it. Guo Yun persuaded:
"Let me come, after all, I have worked more than you for so many years, and this place was requested by me."
Chen Liangtao didn't insist too much, just nodded and sat down silently. After Guo Yun came back, Guo Yun was afraid of being embarrassed for a long time, so he said:
"I am leaving, you know?"
"Hmm..." Chen Liangtao nodded, a sad expression was squeezed from the corner of his mouth, and then said:
"Brother Feng told me just now, let me pick up your code, I feel that this project will not last long, and I will leave sooner or later."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, you are still young. If the project fails, you will have the opportunity to transfer to another project team. Unlike me, who is 35 years old and is discriminated against." Guo Yun complained.
"Then what are your plans behind?" Chen Liangtao asked cautiously.
"Keep looking for a job, otherwise I don't know what I can do." Guo Yun realized at this time that he had no other choice but to find a job. Although he realized that programmers are a youth meal early on, he had already started various preparations, so he came out from another big company a few years ago and joined various startups, hoping to become the founder of startups one day Or a veteran, and get a share of his own to survive his midlife crisis. However, the gap between ideal and reality is too big...
"Hello, your coffee." The waiter suddenly interrupted Guo Yun's thoughts. Guo Yun looked up at the waiter and noticed that it was a pretty young girl. Guo Yun suddenly felt that if he couldn't mix in the Internet industry in the future, he wouldn't even have the opportunity to be a waiter. After the waiter left, Guo Yun took a sip of mocha, feeling the sweet and bitter aroma, which gave him some comfort and calmed down his emotions. Both of them were drinking coffee, and the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward. Programmers usually talk less, even if Guo Yun and Chen Liangtao eat together every day, that is, they talk about games and two-dimensional topics, and even technical topics are relatively rare. In this scenario, I really don’t know what to say What.
"Then what kind of company do you want to go to?" Chen Liangtao asked casually without words. But this question really puzzled Guo Yun. He has been to large and small companies. Large companies discriminate against 35-year-old employees. In fact, small companies are also the same. However, small companies cannot recruit people in many cases and do not have so many choices, so they don’t care about age. From a development point of view, working as a programmer in a large company will probably end up with the same ending as this time. Moreover, if others are willing to ask him, I don’t know if I can enter. But going to a small company is too easy to go bankrupt, and now a small company on the Internet has an average life span of more than one year. Coupled with the impact of the new crown epidemic at the beginning of last year, many small offline Internet companies have closed down more. Look for it after bankruptcy? There were too many contradictions in his mind, so Guo Yun just said:
"I don't know..." Guo Yun thought about it again and said: "But I prefer to go to a small company." Maybe he himself felt that going to a big company would be useless, so he simply comforted himself and said that he likes to go to a small company. This will not let yourself be too disappointed.
"What is the difference between a small company and a large company?" Chen Liangtao seemed to have found the topic and asked hurriedly.
"Want to hear me tell you?" Guo Yun asked inquiringly.
"Okay!" Chen Liangtao agreed with expectation.
"You know all the big companies. That's what you are doing now. Let me tell you about small companies. There are several types of small companies. The scale is divided into three types: super small, small, and relatively small. Super small is a company. The total number of people is less than 10; if it is very small, the company has 10 to 30 people; if it is smaller, it is less than 100. I think more people can be regarded as a medium-sized company.” Guo Yun drank Take a mouthful of mocha, and then said: "The boss is divided into two types: one is paid by himself, and the other is a professional manager."
"What is a professional manager?" Chen Liangtao asked immediately when he met someone who didn't understand.
"Professional managers actually work part-time. He just helps investors manage the company. He doesn't pay for himself, and even gets a salary. It can be understood as the most senior worker."
"Oh, I understand, then you continue." Chen Liangtao hurriedly expressed his desire to continue listening.
"Then divide it from the rich and the not. If there are super rich, just invest more than 10 million. There are more rich, just invest between 1 million and 10 million. Finally, the poorer ones. , The investment is less than 1 million. From the combination of these three aspects, there will be 18 kinds of small companies, and there are many other aspects that can be subdivided. But whether small companies are good, in fact, only need to look at one aspect."
"Which way?" Chen Liangtao asked as surprised as he found a treasure.
"Look at the boss, or the person who says what this company says counts. He can be said to be the key to the success of the company. The project direction, corporate culture, selection and employment, etc., are all determined by this person. Those mentioned before, the size of the company Ah, the amount of investment is actually not particularly important, and sometimes it is not the bigger the company, the better, nor the more money the better..."
"A lot of money is not good?" Chen Liangtao interrupted suddenly.
"A lot of money may make you lose your way in the early stages, and make you spend a lot of time on certain things that are originally meaningless. Of course, this depends on the boss. Some bosses can manage more money, but most bosses cannot. You You can see all kinds of small companies. Some of them have many similarities in innate conditions, but the only difference is that the bosses are different. Then the results are worlds apart.” Guo Yun understood in his heart. The theories are all summed up by him after years of working in the industry, without citing classics, but for a novice like Chen Liangtao who has not entered the world deeply, it will still give him a lot of inspiration.
"Then you can talk to me about your previous company." This is how programmers are. When there is no topic, they are dumb. Once they find a topic, they seem to be unable to stop.
"All right." Guo Yun checked the time on his phone, "I'll talk to you about my recent company experience, and I will talk to you about other things when I have the opportunity."
"Good!" After Chen Liangtao took a sip of the latte, he grabbed the coffee cup with both hands and started to listen to the book. It seemed that the excitement brought by the caffeine made him more focused.
