This reminds me of a quote from Jack Mah, the founder of Alibaba, from a few months ago.
在阿里巴巴二十周年时，马云提及未来的一个畅想：“30年以后，我们希望每年向社会推荐输出至少1000名10年以上的阿里人，他们应该参与到社会的建设。”
Translation:
During Alibaba's 20th anniversary celebration, Jack Mah expressed a wish of his: "Thirty years later, I hope that we at Alibaba can export, with commendation, at least 1000 Alibaba-rians that are >10 years seniority, to society each year, so that they can participate in the building of our society."
If you think Jack Mah was talking about annual layoff, you aren't the only one. Needless to say, people are impressed (sarcastically) that he even made layoffs sound so patriotic.
- echelon 6y agoWow, so they see employees as replaceable cogs that should be changed regularly. That's incredibly inhuman. Who would ever want to work at such a place? If I build a company, I want it to be so interesting and fulfilling that people never want to leave.
- namelosw 6y agoIt's a place filled so much drama, dwarfing all its peers. Sadly, there are still countless people dream of working there. And even more sadly, people don't want to leave, so they regularly fire people and then they can abuse the rest even more.
