35-year-old Tencent employee laid off: Excellent people never have more than one path to take

Recently, many major Internet companies have reported that employees over the age of 35 have been laid off. Huawei even paid one billion in compensation to lay off older "old employees" over the age of 35.

This has brought a lot of sense of crisis to middle-aged people who are in their prime of youth, including seniors and juniors.

A 35-year-old employee who was laid off at a goose factory lamented, "I have one apartment in Beijing, one apartment in Tianjin, and a deposit of more than 7 million yuan. I am so anxious."

A house in Beijing, so anxious?

I have a deposit of more than 7 million, so anxious?

In such an anxious environment, not only large factories have encountered this problem, but many small companies are also facing the same problem. Employees over 35 years old have nowhere to go, except for senior executives. In the workplace, we rarely see employees over the age of 35.

It can be said that in an Internet company like this, those over the age of 35 may not be physically able to keep up with the high-paced daily work, nor can they match the passion of young people who have just graduated.

Therefore, no matter what age you are, in addition to work, you must leave yourself several escape routes in case of emergencies. In this era, there may no longer be an "iron rice bowl".

In the past, the Internet was not as developed as it is now. Everyone basically went to work step by step, and one job could lead to retirement.

Those who cannot find a stable job may have to go into business, do odd jobs, or do some relatively hard work. Therefore, people who have a job want to keep their iron job. Basically, if they don’t make a big mistake at work, they can work until they retire.

And now, as the Internet develops more and more, information is transmitted in all directions, as fast as the speed of light. This allows us to see that in addition to going to work step by step, there are many ways to make money.

For example, travel photographers, freelance illustrators, self-media writers, online trainers, short video bloggers, etc. In this era, as long as you can put your mind down to learn something or do something, you can seem to be able to survive in desperate situations.

There are also many people who started a side job in their spare time while doing their job. At first, they just had a fun mentality. Who would have thought that the income from doing it would actually exceed that of the main job, and the side job would become a side job. There are many examples of companies switching to their main business.

Working in the workplace is no longer the only way out for people nowadays. Modern people should not put their eggs in just one basket and give up too many opportunities.

Although I can’t say that you will be successful if you do side hustle, and although you don’t know what to do, you will definitely make money, but I dare to say that now is the bonus period of doing side hustle, and everyone is doing side hustle. , learning to do a side job is as important as learning to pay with Alipay and using a health code to prove your identity. It is an indispensable skill in the future.

Everyone should improve themselves, market themselves, and promote themselves. In the future, with the development of the individualized economy, they will represent a company and a brand.

Excellent people always leave themselves a few backup paths in case of emergencies. They put their eggs in different baskets to reduce the impact of risks on them. They will Always keep learning, keep up with the development of the times, and seize every opportunity.

Therefore, there is always more than one way for excellent people.
