AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/19 Report--

Today, according to several media reports, Xiaopeng Motor destroyed more than 20 fresh graduates. And the entry also went viral on Weibo. A fresh graduate from Guangzhou revealed that he got the offer issued by Xiaopeng Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. through school recruitment last year, and later signed an employment agreement with Xiaopeng Motor, but in May this year, it received a notice of termination of Xiaopeng Automobile's HR contract: due to business adjustment, it cannot provide jobs and will provide 5000 yuan in compensation. It is understood that the positions involved in this termination include UX posts, front posts, and so on.

In addition, the student also reflected that there were more than 20 students in the same situation as him, and there were various reasons for termination, such as saying that the school was not good, and that it was not suitable, and so on. It said that by the end of May, the school enrollment has been basically over, and the relevant channels will be completely closed. "basically, everyone finished signing and wanted to go to Xiaopeng after graduation, but at this time, they broke the contract and paid 5000 yuan in compensation, which ruined the future of our new graduates at such a low cost. Basically, we can't even find a job now." An employee inside Xiaopeng revealed to the media that Xiaopeng's staff turnover has been very frequent, so it is difficult to say that it is layoffs, because layoffs and recruitment are taking place at the same time in some departments. However, judging from the matter of breaking the contract to enroll students, we all think that it is shrinking. However, Xiaopeng has yet to respond to the matter.

It is worth noting that today's Hello Bicycle has also been exposed to dismiss fresh graduates. A screenshot of the tripartite termination letter of Hello Bicycle was exposed on the Internet. According to the screenshot, the company had to make such a decision because of business adjustment. I also wish the terminated students great prospects in their future careers. In addition, a tripartite termination letter is attached. And in

A few days ago, the ideal car, which is also a new force in car building, was also exposed that the ideal car destroyed about the enrollment of the 2022 class of school students. According to an email exposed on the Internet, a small number of school recruiting students who have not yet joined the job will face termination of the offer contract due to the recent adjustment of the business structure of ideal Automobile. Ideal car has tried its best to find other positions for you internally, but it is a pity that there is no relevant position to match you in the company at present. I'm very sorry, but we will communicate with you about termination compensation within this week.

Then in response to the matter, ideal Motor said: business adjustment has been carried out, and some jobs have been closed, involving some of the school admissions partners who have not yet joined the job this year. In view of the inconvenience that may be caused to these students to find jobs, options for job transfer and termination compensation will be provided, and communication is currently under way with the relevant students. In addition, it also said that in terms of compensation, taking into account the information of various majors and job directions, the relevant students have been recommended to other business positions for re-job interviews; for those who do not have suitable positions, compensation for one month's salary will be provided, which exceeds the amount of liquidated damages signed in the agreement.

Xiaopeng Motor, ideal car and Hello Bicycle have "broken the contract to enroll students", which may be related to factors such as the increasing cost pressure of enterprises at the present stage, the poor performance of the industry caused by the epidemic and other factors. According to Xiaopeng's latest financial report for 2021, Xiaopeng's annual revenue was 20.99 billion yuan, an increase of 259.1 percent over the same period last year, and a net loss of 4.86 billion yuan, an increase of 78 percent over the same period last year. Of this total, revenue in the fourth quarter was 8.56 billion yuan, an increase of 200.1 percent over the same period last year, an increase of 49.6 percent over the previous quarter, and a net loss of 1.29 billion yuan, an increase of 63.5 percent over the same period last year, a decrease of 19.3 percent over the previous quarter. Although Xiaopeng has been growing at a high speed in terms of revenue.

However, according to the relevant data, Xiaopeng Motor has an operating loss of 6.58 billion yuan in 2021, 4.29 billion yuan in 2020, 3.78 billion yuan in 2019 and 1.7 billion yuan in 2018. From these figures, it is not difficult to see that although its full-year revenue continues to increase, its net loss is also expanding. The gross profit margin of Xiaopeng car in 2021 is 11.5%, which is lower than that of Lulai car and ideal car. Xiaopeng's bicycle profit level is the lowest of the three. Of course, there is a reason why Xiaopeng's gross profit margin is low. At present, Xiaopeng has G3, P5 and P7 models on sale, of which G3 and P5 start at less than 200000 yuan, while P7 starts at 239900 yuan. By contrast, the selling price of Ulai's models on sale is basically more than 300000 yuan, while the ideal ONE price of ideal car is also higher than 300000 yuan.

From the perspective of the general environment, due to the impact of the epidemic, most car sales fell sharply in April, and the rising prices of raw materials upstream have also brought great cost pressure to enterprises, and many car companies have raised the prices of their models. In response to this matter, some industry insiders said: it is very common for enterprises with Internet attributes to adjust frequently, and it often happens that some inefficient or low-contribution departments are cut off as a whole, even if they are not laid off directly. will also be split in the form of job transfer. Looking back on the past two years, car-building new power brands have staged a "robbing war", and the number of recruitment positions has also shown a blowout growth. The salaries of jobs offered are also higher than those of traditional carmakers. However, at this stage, due to the epidemic, the supply of spare parts, rising prices of raw materials and other factors, car-building new forces also have to suspend the expansion of personnel.
