On May 19, the topic of "Xiaopeng car destroyed about 20 new graduates" went on the hot search. In response to this matter, Xiaopeng responded to the media: since the beginning of 2021, Xiaopeng has added more than 10, 000 employees, including about 1600 new graduates and about 900 new graduates, who are expected to arrive in July this year. Recently, due to the post adjustment and performance optimization of some departments, involving a small number of fresh graduates and related staff adjustment, Xiaopeng Automobile will continue to communicate and deal with it properly.

In response to the market rumors that the new graduates break the contract for poor management, Xiaopeng said that based on the judgment of the internal and external environment, Xiaopeng firmly believes that the development of smart electric vehicles will continue to accelerate, and the next few years will be the best accelerated overtaking stage. Therefore, in 2022, Xiaopeng Automobile and ecological enterprises will continue to invest in strategic innovation business, increase R & D and talent investment, and continue to recruit employees, including R & D, manufacturing, data, service sales, and so on. At the same time, the recruitment of fresh graduates will still be the focus of the recruitment work of the company. However, it will also control and adjust some non-core business and middle and back-end business to improve management efficiency and business performance.

Prior to this, some fresh graduates reflected that last year, through the school recruitment channel, they obtained the offer issued by Xiaopeng Automotive Technology Co., Ltd., and then signed a tripartite agreement with Xiaopeng Automobile. However, in May, Xiaopeng Automobile personnel said that the company's business adjustment, unable to provide jobs, more than 20 new graduates were responded by Xiaopeng Automobile, unable to participate in employment normally. Students said that the reasons for breaking the contract include "the school is not good", "not suitable" and so on. At present, the school enrollment is basically over, and many of the students who have broken the contract are unable to find a job. At the same time, according to screenshots of text messages posted by several students, Xiaopeng Motor will give 5000 yuan in termination compensation according to the "tripartite agreement" signed with graduates.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaopeng Automobile recruitment official account wrote on May 13, "Xiaopeng Automobile will enter more colleges and universities, and we are willing to go with you." it is ironic that only seven days later, it was revealed that the new graduates had broken their contracts.

In addition to Xiaopeng car, the new car-building force that has been ruined by graduates is also the ideal car. On May 11, a number of netizens exposed the enrollment of ideal Automobile School on a social platform. According to an email prompted by a netizen to break the contract, the reason for the termination is that "due to the recent adjustment of the business structure of ideal Automobile, there are no matching positions in the company at present."

In response to this matter, ideal Automobile responded: "recently, ideal Automobile has carried out business adjustment, and some positions 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 a job, we have provided a plan for job transfer and termination compensation, and we are currently communicating with the relevant students. In terms of compensation, taking into account the information of various majors and job directions, we have recommended relevant students to other business positions for re-job interviews. For students who do not have suitable positions, they will provide compensation for one month's salary. "

Some netizens said that it is already mid-May, and the enrollment of major companies is basically over. Coupled with the grim employment situation this year, these terminated graduates are facing the dilemma of losing their jobs as soon as they graduate. The sudden breach of the contract by the company has hit the students too hard. Even if the company has 5000 yuan or one month's salary as termination compensation, graduates prefer a long-term job.

A year ago, new car-building brands staged a "war of robbing people", with a blowout growth in the number of jobs and much higher salaries than traditional carmakers, and some companies even did not hesitate to use "equity incentives" to attract talent. However, the shortage of chips and the rising price of raw materials, coupled with the rising costs of research and development and operating costs, have begun to make the new forces of car building more and more powerless. at present, under the double pressure of ideal and Xiaopeng, from the "robbing war" to the embarrassing situation of breaking the contract to enroll students, and do not know what the situation is.

At present, the new power brand "Wei Xiaoli" only ideal car released the first quarter report. According to the report, the revenue of ideal car in the first quarter was 9.56 billion yuan, up 167.5 percent from the same period last year; the net loss was 10.9 million yuan, down 97 percent from the same period last year; and the operating cash flow was 1.83 billion yuan, an increase of 98.0 percent over the same period last year. By the end of March this year, the cash reserve had reached 51.19 billion yuan.
