While some companies are still laying off employees for various reasons, some companies are already paying dividends.
Recently, Huawei announced on the internal forum "Xinsheng Community" that it plans to distribute dividends of RMB 71.955 billion to shareholders after the resolution of Huawei's internal authority . Compared with the total dividends in 2021 of 61.404 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.551 billion yuan.
According to Huawei's 2022 financial report, as of December 31, 2022, the number of participants in Huawei's employee stock ownership plan was 142,315, and the participants were all employees of the company or retired employees. If the number of shareholding employees does not increase and Huawei's share capital does not increase, based on this calculation, the average dividend of Huawei's shareholding employees exceeds 500,000 yuan per person.
Faced with this huge red envelope, the happiest ones are of course Huawei employees. Earlier, some Huawei employees posted on Huawei's "Roman Forum" Xinsheng Community, saying, " Thank you to the company, thank you to the boss, and work harder in 2023 !"
It has to be said that Huawei has always been generous when it comes to dividends. Huawei will give a dividend ratio based on the company's actual situation every year. The highest dividend was in 2010, with a dividend of 2.98 yuan per share, and the lowest dividend was in 2017, with a dividend of 1.02 yuan per share.
Regarding the news of Huawei's dividend this time, some netizens said: We only work overtime
Some netizens mentioned: At this time, the bosses who advocate Huawei's wolfish culture have lost their voices.
Some netizens also feel that the dividends are based on per capita, and the reference is of little significance.
Even use the height of Pan Changjiang and Yao Ming as an example
Although it is true that employee dividends are not rigorous enough based on the average, it has to be mentioned that Ren Zhengfei's total shareholding ratio has declined for five consecutive years.
In 2022, it will be reduced by 0.11 percentage points to 0.73%. From 2018 to 2022, Ren Zhengfei's total shareholding ratios will be 1.14%, 1.04%, 0.90%, 0.84%, and 0.73%, respectively.
In contrast, the number of shareholding employees continues to increase. From 2018 to 2021, they will be 96,768, 104,572, 121,269, 131,507, and 142,315 respectively.
Huawei's employee stock ownership system began in 1990. At that time, the share price was 1 yuan per share, and 15% of the after-tax profit was used as equity dividends.
However, not all Huawei employees can invest in Huawei shares. Only employees with outstanding performance after two years of employment are eligible for allotment of shares, and the number of Huawei shares that can be subscribed is also limited.
