Chapter 383 Middle Trap
Qing Yun also knew that the things he was now instilling in Tang Qianying somewhat subverted his outlook on life.

But this is the truth that he realized only after he had been in the grassroots for two lifetimes, then moved to a high position, and finally owned his own company.

and……

This is also the truth confirmed by Qin Tianchuan, Shi Yuzhu and others.

"Yes, disabling! The bigger the company, the higher the demand for disabling middle-level positions!"

Tang Qianying's small waist was just right wrapped around it by his big hands. Unlike Qin Manman, Qin Manman's waist was actually even thinner.

Master Qianying felt a little uncomfortable, "Go and touch Namanman!"

She also knows this, Qin Manman's figure is really too foul.

Qing Yun chuckled, asked her not to interrupt, and continued, "Because companies must also guard against risks, structural and systemic risks.

If a bunch of middle managers become powerful and indispensable, it will be too dangerous for entrepreneurs.

but……"

Qing Yun's eyes became profound, "But here comes the problem again. The middle management are not stupid either. How could they be willing to be decapable?"

Tang Qianying has a pair of comic eyes.

She doesn't understand this anymore, but...

In her eyes, this became like those historical novels, full of conspiracy and contingency, so she listened to it with great interest.

"So, as compensation, the company will give relatively high wages and benefits to the middle-level workers, and then the demands of both parties will reach a staged agreement."

"Stage agreement?" Tang Qianying asked doubtfully.

"Yes, because middle-level positions are destined to be unstable. You see, they neither control core resources nor core outputs. This problem is even more serious for knowledge-intensive companies like our Yanhuang Group.

However, they also receive very high wages and benefits, which bring very high costs to the company. This puts the middle management in the awkward position of being criticized by both sides. They are crowded and squeezed. What will happen over time? "

"Can't stand it?"

The words were serious, but Tang Qianying chuckled.

Qing Yun glanced at her inexplicably, not knowing what the point of the smile was.

Master Qianying motioned for him to continue. She was embarrassed to say that she would always think wrong when hearing some words now.

"As time goes by, the leadership and grassroots will be dissatisfied with the middle management. They will say, 'What do you think you are doing every day with such a high salary?'

And this kind of dissatisfaction will definitely create a strong sense of insecurity for many middle-level people.

There is no way for them to break out of the situation. The number of high-level positions is definitely far smaller than that of middle-level positions, and there are very few people who can climb up.

Then, in line with the principle of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, in order to eliminate this insecurity, many middle-level managers will do a series of things like bullying others, trying to make ends meet, forming cliques, or eating from the bowl while watching the pot. move.

These actions will further aggravate the dissatisfaction of the leadership and grassroots.

You see, this is a negative spiral, and it is structural, and they cannot escape it.

Ultimately, when dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain level and once organizational changes occur, those middle managers who are separated from the front line of the business and whose costs are too high are the easiest ones to be targeted. "

Tang Qianying tilted her head and thought about it for a moment, then understood.

After all, there are examples of headquarters, research institutes, and sales teams, which are easy to understand.She even understood that even if there were no organizational changes, according to Brother Stinky, when dissatisfaction accumulated to a certain level, the leadership would pull out the middle-level people to "popular anger".

“Actually, in reality, the layoff of grassroots employees will not have much impact.

Just like our sales team, if I lay off all the people at the grassroots level, most of them can still find jobs, and their incomes will not be much lower.

The people in the software institute are even worse, because they are the ones who control the core output. If they change companies, they will still do the same work and get similar wages. Maybe they will get a raise.

For grassroots employees, relocation costs are very low.

The same goes for those senior executives who control core resources.For example, Mr. Guo Jing just now is a big boss in the sales world. People like this are basically cunning rabbits, and there are many ways out.

But the middle level is different, especially those who have actually been disenabled. Their migration costs are too high.

First of all, if the position is moved, it will be difficult for them to find a suitable position. "

Tang Qianying was confused and pointed at the folder Guo Jing brought and said, "Why? I think those headhunters usually solve middle-level positions."

“Because the result of disempowerment is to be institutionalized, and being institutionalized means that you have become part of the system, so once you leave the original system, it will be difficult for you to be useful.

Just like building blocks, yours here is rectangular, but other companies require a round shape, so you need to spend a lot of time and energy to polish it into a round shape. "

Seeing that Tang Qianying understood, Qing Yun continued, "If they go down, they will have to face the problem of being separated from the front line of business and insufficient output capacity. Moreover, it will be difficult for them to accept a cliff-like drop in wages.

In the end, they can only go up, but it is not easy to go up. They... I mean the vast majority of people who cannot climb up. They do not have the core resources that high-level people should have.

Well, look at it, are they embarrassed? No matter it is moving horizontally, downward or upward, every road is very narrow, and it may be a dead end.

This is the mid-level trap. "

Seeing that Tang Qianying was a little dazed, Qingyun continued to teach in a cram-like manner while the iron was hot, "What is the essence of the middle level?"

Tang Qianying, whose outlook on life was subverted, couldn't help but murmured, "What is it?"

Qing Yun smiled and said, "Essentially, they are gold-plated screws with low adaptability. What are the characteristics of this screw?"

He sneered, "Everyone thought it was a functional item, but it's actually just a decoration. It looks glamorous, but it's of no use."

Tang Qianying understood and was completely stunned, "In other words, there is no need for ordinary people to be middle-level?"

Then she sighed and felt very boring, "I feel that the workplace is very difficult now. If you climb up, it will be a dead end, which makes people have no hope."

Hearing this, Qing Yun shook her head in amusement, "That's the truth, but isn't it just greed that's causing the problem?
People must understand themselves accurately and not be too greedy.

For an ordinary person, if he does not have the ability to master core resources, it is enough to be a manager of a basic business unit.

Because at this time, his business ability has been fully tempered, and he is also the company's true core talent. "

Having said this, he shook his head, "Frankly speaking, this kind of employee is what the boss likes the most.

Because they have the technology at hand, they pose no threat to businesses or entrepreneurs.

Essentially, you just give him a few people to improve his efficiency. But if there are too many people, he won't be happy. He thinks they are too stupid and too lazy to lead them.

The boss is also relaxed, just give him the money and give it to his heart. It is best to manage. Such employees are good employees. "
