An open letter from Gucci employees who resigned collectively to Gucci executives.

An open letter to Gucci executives from former employees who resigned collectively.

This open letter will be made public after we consult a lawyer.

This open letter will be published after being examined by our lawyers.

Dear China CEO and Global CEO of Gucci,

Hello. We used to be employees of Gucci Shenzhen Vientiane City Store. We all joined Gucci with beautiful dreams, but our dreams turned into nightmares in Gucci. All of us have left behind the injuries caused by Gucci, such as spinal diseases, bone deformation, varicose veins, infertility, and easy abortion after standing for a long time. Of course, Gucci's "unwarranted" fine and illegal deduction of overtime pay also make us feel sad. Not long ago, we resigned collectively because we couldn't stand the company's illegal labor treatment and inhuman working environment. The complaints about illegal employment and inhuman management of Gucci Company are as follows:

Summary version of complaint letter short version of complaint letter

First of all, we stand for more than 14 hours every day on weekdays, but we are not allowed to take a nap, drink water or eat during work, even pregnant women.

Standing 14 hours or more a day is a kind of torture for us. Even pregnant employees are not allowed to have a short rest, water or food.

According to Gucci's regulations, we are not allowed to sit down to rest, drink water or eat during the working hours of more than ten hours every day. Even pregnant women are not allowed to eat during working hours, even backstage. Violate the rules eight times and you will be fired. In other words, if a pregnant woman eats eight apples in the background during working hours in order to supplement nutrition, she may be dismissed.

Secondly, we stood for a long time to work overtime, but Gucci tried to illegally deduct overtime pay.

Gucci illegally refused our overtime pay under the pretext of "comprehensive working system", which was approved by the Shanghai authorities, but not legally approved by the Shenzhen authorities.

"Vientiane City Store", the flagship store of Shenzhen Gucci, has actually implemented the "comprehensive calculation of working hours system" in Shenzhen without the approval of the relevant labor departments in Shenzhen according to law and with the approval of Shanghai. The daily work is often from 9 am to 12 am; It is normal to order every day, and it is normal to work until 2 or 3 am the next day (in this case, it is not counted as working time).

"Comprehensive working hours" can actually become a tool for cruel exploitation by employers, so its approval is very strict, and it should be combined with the specific situation of employers. For example, a family unit may meet the requirements of the comprehensive working hours system in the cold areas in the north (it may not be able to work in winter), but it may not meet the requirements in the southern cities.

For Gucci leaders, this is a common-sense legal question: Is the Shanghai Municipal Government the central government? Otherwise, why can Shanghai's approval be used nationwide? Let's ask a common-sense health question: wearing pointed leather shoes specially made by Gucci for employees, standing for more than 12 hours a day, won't you get sick?

Third, Gucci's flagship store in Shenzhen has no security measures. Once the insured expensive luxury goods are lost, all employees in the store still need joint compensation.

The flagship store in Shenzhen has no security measures. We are jointly and severally liable for any stolen luxury goods, even if they are insured.

Surprisingly, Gucci's flagship store has no security measures. It is said that the police in the area are shocked, but Gucci will not lose anything, and may even gain something. This is because many luxury goods are insured, and all employees have to bear joint and several liability for the lost goods. That is to say, Gucci has been compensated twice and made a profit. The saddest thing is that some employees have just finished their marriage leave or maternity leave, and many companies will give them red envelopes, but when they return to Gucci on vacation, they may face a large amount of compensation.

Fourth, the company's male leaders will actually intercept female employees at the door of the bathroom and punish them by "reprimanding".

A male leader stood outside the toilet door in a surprising way, waiting to condemn a female employee, just because she violated the regulations prohibiting going to the toilet.

At the morning meeting of the company, a "toilet ban" is implemented, that is, it is forbidden to go to the toilet during the period, otherwise the female clerk who goes to the toilet will be reprimanded by the "big leader" who guards the toilet door. You know, the bathroom is a cubicle, and people inside and outside can hear each other's breathing.

Fifth, some management policies of the company are constantly changing, and the leaders are moody, which makes employees feel at a loss.

Some capricious leaders make us lose our way and even make our work worse.

For example, some leaders today may say that taking a break at noon is detrimental to the company's image; Tomorrow, you may say, why don't you walk around during your lunch break and increase your knowledge?

In addition, on May 26th, 20 1 1, Southern Weekend published an article entitled "Female Workers Suicide in a Luxury Factory", telling the story of Peng Shuiyin, one of the female workers, who committed suicide by jumping off a building in embarrassment, discrimination and indifference. However, the factory management has always denied that it was related to her suicide. Of course, I have never heard of any aspect that would be slightly more decent than Foxconn's compensation for jumping off a building.

What we want to say is that as an internationally renowned luxury brand, Gucci not only failed to fulfill its due social responsibilities, but also lacked basic respect for employees' most basic labor rights and personal dignity. We were very disappointed with Gucci, so we chose to resign collectively and put forward the following requirements:

Please, within 5 working days after receiving this letter:

1, compensate Gucci for its long-term overdue overtime;

2. Pay us economic compensation for being forced to resign;

3. compensate us for personal injury caused by Gucci's poor working conditions.

Detailed version lengthy version

1. Employees are overworked and suffer from various occupational diseases, even infertility, but there is no overtime pay and subsidy.

Working too long leads to various occupational diseases and even infertility, but there are corresponding compensations.

Working in Shenzhen Gucci store, female employees need to wear very hard pointed leather shoes every day, from 9: 30 in the morning to 10 in the evening, regardless of pregnancy or illness. Standing for a long time leads to extreme discomfort, and many employees suffer from occupational diseases such as varicose veins and bone deformation. Some employees are difficult to get pregnant even after being married for many years, and some employees have miscarried and fainted. After work at ten o'clock in the evening, all employees still need to "count", that is, count the goods until two or three in the morning. These people often faint because of overwork. In the company, "counting" time is not working time at all, that is to say, even the so-called "comprehensive working time" will not integrate this long and painful counting time. Here is a common sense question for leaders: aren't we working for the company?

Second, Shenzhen has actually implemented a comprehensive working hour system without the approval of the relevant departments, and illegally deducted overtime wages.

Gucci has not been approved by the comprehensive working hours system in Shenzhen, but the system is still implemented in Shenzhen.

Gucci advocates the implementation of comprehensive working hours system in Shenzhen Store, that is, overtime pay is only calculated for the part exceeding 166.64 hours per month. However, according to the provisions of Article 2 of the Trial Measures for the Administration of Examination and Approval of the Implementation of Flexible Working Hours and Comprehensive Working Hours System in Shenzhen, branches of foreign enterprises established in Shenzhen need to apply for and approve the comprehensive working hours system in accordance with these Measures. That is to say, if Gucci stores in Shenzhen need to implement the comprehensive working hours system, they should obtain the approval of the Shenzhen labor administrative department in accordance with the relevant regulations of Shenzhen, but Gucci uses the comprehensive working hours system obtained in Shanghai in all stores across the country.

I wonder if Gucci management understands a simple truth: Shanghai municipal government is not the central government, and enterprises operate in Shenzhen, so the comprehensive working hour system must be approved in Shenzhen, otherwise it will be illegal.

Third, employees' toilet time is strictly limited, and inhuman management tramples on employees' dignity and freedom.

The toilet time is strictly limited, and inhuman management tramples on the dignity and freedom of employees.

The time for employees working in Shenzhen Gucci store to go to the toilet is strictly limited. At the morning meeting, employees are not allowed to go to the toilet. The leader will ask someone to watch the toilet. No entry outside and no exit inside. Female colleagues in the bathroom can only be embarrassed to be scolded by male colleagues standing at the door. Anyone with a little common sense will understand that this practice is not only a matter of humanization of company management, but also damages social equity and civil human rights. The most basic and important thing of humanized management is respect for people, that is, respect for employees' basic physiological needs and respect for employees' personality. However, Gucci's practice obviously runs counter to these standards, and trampling on people's basic freedoms and rights by coercive means is a disregard for civil rights and a contempt for national laws.

Four, employees are not allowed to eat in the store, even pregnant women, even in the background, but some leaders are exceptions.

Don't eat in the store, even pregnant women, even behind the door, but this rule may not apply to some leaders.

The company stipulates that you are not allowed to eat anything during office hours. Once, a pregnant colleague applied to the leader, hoping to eat two apples a day to supplement nutrition, but was ruthlessly rejected by the leader and told that "eating one apple will be recorded, and eating eight apples will be expelled from the company." Yes, even pregnant women who need nutritional supplements most have no right to eat an apple after working here for more than ten hours. However, in the office, leaders can eat freely.

5. Unreasonable joint liability system: employees must share the loss of lost items, but in fact these items may have been insured.

Unreasonable joint liability: employees must compensate for the loss of stolen goods, which may be insured as luxury goods.

The most unreasonable thing is that the company requires employees to do both sales and part-time security. If something is lost, all employees should share the loss. This provision has been publicly written into the company's rules and regulations, and also written into the labor contract. Gucci's goods are luxury goods, and all goods will be insured, so in fact, the company obtained Double Indemnity from employees and insurance companies respectively. Of course, this is not the most unreasonable requirement. What is even more ridiculous is that on the first day when an employee returns to work in the store after taking a wedding leave or maternity leave, the leader may ask him to compensate for the share of items lost in the store during the vacation. This not only reminds people of the ancient punishment of involving nine clans, but I didn't expect such absurd and shameful provisions to appear in China in the 2nd/kloc-0th century, in Shenzhen, which is known as the "window of the world", and in the world-famous Gucci store.

Ask the leaders a common-sense question: shopping malls are not Plato's ideal country, and there is no guarantee that there will be no theft. Security system should be one of the necessary systems in shopping centers. Why can't our leaders establish this system? Can't or don't want to? If something goes wrong, we don't look for problems from our own management and safety, but share the losses with many innocent people. Is this the moral vein that big international companies should have? Even if the problem is that an insider steals and one person takes something worth 100 thousand, ten people share the loss. Isn't this encouraging crime in disguise? Holidaymakers who can be completely exempted from suspicion also need to share the losses. Isn't it more shameful than Wang Jingwei's practice of "killing 3 thousand by mistake and not letting one person escape the net"?

Previously, there was an article on the Internet that introduced the life and tears of Gucci employees in Shanghai, which also mentioned many things, such as overtime, confiscation of mobile phones at work, and difficulty in taking time off when sick and pregnant. It can be seen that the loss of Gucci's management in China is not accidental. Even more ridiculous, it is said that Shanghai Gucci installed a camera in the staff locker room to prevent it from being stolen, which seriously violated the personal privacy of employees. It is also a developed area. Why does Shenzhen not even do basic security work, but Shanghai can be developed enough to install cameras in private space?

Six, some management policies are constantly changing, all by the mood of individual leaders, employees at a loss.

Some policies are changing at any time, depending on the manager's mood. The staff got lost.

Some of Gucci's leaders' management regulations for employees are often changeable. For example, employees are not allowed to go to other shops in Shenzhen Vientiane City during lunch break because they are wearing Gucci work clothes. Just two days after the regulations were promulgated, the leaders began to scold employees for not visiting other stores during lunch break.

As the blood compensation law says, it is the violent person who makes the rules and the violent person who implements the rules. Leaders have the power of life and death in the promotion and dismissal of subordinates, so they can give orders to employees who are short of staff by violence at will. In order to keep their jobs, employees can only tolerate such unreasonable and illegal regulations. In this way, the connivance above and the obedience below gave birth to a group of domineering leaders.

7. Gucci is a company that lacks scientific and humanized management, and the legal rights and basic dignity of employees can not be guaranteed.

Gucci lacks scientific and humanized management. The basic rights and dignity of employees are not guaranteed.

Some people say that scientific management has three levels: the first level is standardization, the second level is refinement, and the third level is personalization. However, in the management of Gucci, we can't see any trace of any of them, the most prominent of which is the failure of standardized management. We only see the leader alone, but we don't see the company's rules and regulations define the employee's behavior process with specific standards. What we see is that leaders can be out of control, but employees must abide by many superior regulations, but we don't see the company image of setting an example and being consistent from top to bottom.

Of course, these mistakes are not only the mistakes of Gucci management, but also the omissions of government supervision; It is not only the responsibility of Gucci enterprises, but also the unshirkable responsibility of the government to let Gucci employees work and live better.

To borrow Zhang Ailing's words, Gucci may be a gorgeous robe, but it is full of lice. The problems faced by Gucci employees are the mistakes of Gucci company and the pain of Gucci people. We strongly appeal to Gucci to assume its due social responsibilities and pay attention to the basic rights and personal dignity of employees while pursuing profits; We hope that more people will join us, especially those consumers of Gucci, and work together with us to make Gucci not only synonymous with luxury goods, but also responsible for social responsibility; We especially hope that the government can also join the supervision and give more care and support to the disadvantaged groups; We hope that what happened in Shenzhen Gucci was only made by individual leaders, not by the company, because we don't want Gucci to be accused by thousands of people, because after all, there are memories of our youth there, because after all, we just want to get back our due rights and interests.
