Technology: Breaking the monopoly global hegemony

Chapter 1971 Layoffs

Jiuzhou Technology has never deceived its users or partners, but even though Jiuzhou Technology has already made a great name for itself in the Blue Star technology circle, people still find it "unacceptable."

A private technology company can actually enter the aerospace field and even build a base on the moon! ?

Is this world still normal?

The world has never been a unified whole, and globalized trade has never been a self-contained business.

5 month.

A wave of unemployment broke out.

Intel Corporation of America announced on the 1st that it would cut 45% of the company's employees, a total of about 8000 people.

This is Intel's largest layoff ever after years of layoffs. After facing the pressure of a long period of declining performance, Intel's CEO said solemnly: "In order to cut costs, improve efficiency and increase company profits, layoffs will be completed before October 10st.

The company needs fundamental changes and will reorganize the structure and operations of the entire company. The company plans to cut operating expenses and capital expenditures by at least $50 billion and suspend dividends to shareholders. "

Lawrence, who was in charge of the branch, announced to all employees: "Dear colleagues, it is with great regret that the head office has decided to move the factory to Sydney, Australia. Employees who are interested in working in Australia can apply to the human resources department."

However, the employees who heard the news were surprised and panicked.

"What!? What?"

"How can this be possible!!!..."

"The company is going to lay off employees again? Didn't they finish the layoffs last year and the year before, and promised that there would be no more large-scale layoffs?"

"Fuck, I just bought a Titan processor and was about to shine in the Spirit Realm ecosystem and start my live broadcast career. If there is a layoff this time, I'm afraid the layoff subsidy will only be able to support me for half a year."

"Are you going to lay off employees again? I've only been in the company for half a year, so I shouldn't be the one getting laid off, right?"

The grassroots employees are surprised and angry, and Intel's middle-level employees and middle-level managers are also panicking. If it were twenty years ago, with their skills, qualifications, connections and resources, even if they just left Intel, they would be able to work for a good technology company tomorrow. They might even get a higher position and more salary because the new company is not as good.

Moreover, they have worked at Intel for many years and have a lot of savings to support their work and life after the layoffs.

But in this day and age, Intel's middle-level employees and managers all know one thing clearly: if they leave Intel, 90% of them will not be able to find a job with the same income. Even if they want to find a backward compatible job, they have to accept a salary reduction of more than half in order to have a job.

That is, all the hard work of many years has gone to waste. They have been demoted from middle management to grassroots management, and the elite employees who received dividends from the middle level have been demoted to grassroots employees in other companies.

According to media reports, Intel's stock price suffered a heavy blow that day, plummeting by about 30% in after-hours trading. After experiencing the rise of companies such as Daxia Jiuzhou Technology and Xiaxin Technology, the former king of semiconductor technology companies was stabbed in the back by latecomers such as AMD. Before the third decade of this century, only a few thousand employees were left.

  Everyone is lamenting Intel's decline.

Xiayin celestial calendar is March 1029, 5.

As this somewhat coincidental digital day approaches, Pingguo announced the closure of its artificial intelligence research team, the reduction of Pingguo iPhone team members, and a 29% layoff of the company's entire staff.

The former technology innovation company is now sharpening its knives to attack pigs and sheep.

  In the Jiuzhou community, some industry personnel compiled a list of layoffs and recorded:

“All the information in this document comes from official announcements of major companies and institutions and official documents of local authorities.

The short story is that from the year 1019 in the Xia Yin calendar to now, 4.19 people have been laid off from Microsoft, and the latest plan revealed is to lay off another 1 people worldwide, in an effort to catch up with Intel.

  After Google laid off 1.2 employees last year, it publicly announced layoffs again, which will last for a whole year. Perhaps it is because Google's advertising revenue has dropped sharply due to the existence of products such as Jiuzhou Community and Lingjing Ecology;

As of January 1029 of the Xia Yin Star Calendar, Amazon has laid off more than 1 employees, affecting almost every department...

What’s interesting is that the companies that have carried out large-scale layoffs are almost all Western technology companies listed on the U.S. financial market. While these companies were experiencing a domino-like layoff storm, the U.S. stock market has experienced six consecutive circuit breakers and more than five trading suspensions since last year.

As their business operations were declining, these technology companies were speeding up to use artificial intelligence (AI) to replace their front-line employees. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), the technology giants seemed to have found a way to do more with less money.

However, because the business slowdown has not slowed down, the output of AI in customer service, AI copywriting and other tasks has been unsatisfactory, causing these companies’ products to be abandoned by users more and more quickly.”

Multinational giants that once had tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of employees have now been laid off and reduced to ordinary companies with only a few thousand employees.

Although after the layoffs, the remaining employees were promised that they would not be laid off this year.

  But what about next year?

What's next?

The lighthouses of Western financial and technology companies are extinguished one after another.

And in the East.

Although Daxia Jiuzhou Technology Company will no longer recruit employees on a large scale, a number of companies including Xiawei Technology Company, Xiaxin Technology, BYD, Yanjing Youyan, Jindongfang Technology Company... are all expanding their recruitment in order to provide better services and more products to users in the global market.

By geographical division, Bluestar Global has many markets including Western European market, North American market, African market, Southeast Asian market, etc.

The Blue Star United Organization generally divides countries around the world into three categories in relevant statistics: developed country markets, developing country markets and centrally planned economy countries markets.

But no matter how the market divisions are defined, commodity trading will not change.

Bluestar's global textile market, grain and oil market, machinery market, chemical market and other large markets, as well as segmented wheat market, coffee market, smartphone market, automobile market and other markets, all show a substantial shrinkage of Western capital, while Eastern capital and enterprises in developing and underdeveloped countries are beginning to gradually increase.

Just when employees of these companies in Daxia were lamenting that their project workload could not match that of their counterparts in Europe and the United States, their counterparts in Europe and the United States were also envious of the job stability of their counterparts in Daxia.
