“Favorable situation”

The “Federal Emergency Brake”, which was only introduced in April provides that the federal government can enforce uniform corona protective measures in areas with incidence values ​​above 100. The Infection Protection Act is limited to June 30th. There had recently been talks within the federal government, in particular about an extension of the home office requirement. Braun has now confirmed, however, that the emergency brake will not be extended at this point in time because the situation is currently “favorable”.

Test offer in companies should remain

According to the Ministry of Labor, rules at the workplace are currently being discussed according to the home office obligation. It is only about “basic requirements” at the workplace such as contact reduction, the obligation to test offers and the obligation to hygiene concepts, according to a spokeswoman. Companies must therefore continue to offer employees in companies a corona test twice a week. This emerges from the draft of the new occupational health and safety ordinance of the Federal Ministry of Labor. “We will extend the amended occupational health and safety ordinance so that the protection of employees is in the foreground even when the incidence is falling,” said Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD). In view of the low corona incidences, however, the obligation to work from home can no longer be justified with occupational safety and is therefore no longer applicable. The SPD politician emphasized that a mixture of presence culture and home office would be “the new normal”. “And for that we need a binding legal framework,” stressed Heil.

Braun: “New edition of the ’emergency brake’ possibly in autumn”

Chancellery chief Braun said of a possible new edition of the “Federal Emergency Brake” that this would depend on the vaccination rate, the effect of the vaccines and the possible spread of further virus mutations in the autumn. “If the numbers went up again, then you would have to decide quickly.” At the moment there is no reason to extend the “federal emergency brake”.

The line of notice posted in front of the familiar coffee shop on May 28 made Tram An (25 years old, HCMC) a bit disappointed. As a freelancer in the field of design, she often “roots” here 4-5 times a week to work. Before that, she once breathed a sigh of relief when the City People’s Committee only asked restaurant and coffee shop businesses to limit the number of guests to use on the spot, encouraging take-out sales to prevent the epidemic. Coffee shops in Ho Chi Minh City are only allowed to sell take-out to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic. Photo: Duy Hieu, Quynh Danh. “I told myself that it’s better to limit the number of guests coming in and out than to close it completely. At least, I can still text to ask to keep the table or confirm the number of guests before coming,” An told Zing . No longer being able to go to the cafe to work, the female freelancer is quite worried, not knowing how she will work from home in the coming days. Tram An is not the only young person who is troubled by the loss of a familiar workplace. Many people try to get used to working from home, others see this as an opportunity to change the environment. ‘You know what, the epidemic’ In recent years, the trend of going to coffee shops to study and work has become more and more popular. Not only a space to enjoy drinks, meet friends, these places also become a workplace for a part of young people. “The house is quite crowded, so I live in the same room with my grandmother and my sister. When designing products, running deadlines, I want to go to a coffee shop to focus and be more comfortable,” An explained. In addition, the uniquely designed space, with a variety of styles in the stores, also helps her find inspiration and motivation to work more easily. Not only a place to enjoy drinks, gather friends, cafes are also chosen by many young people as a “work place” regularly. Photo: Phu Qui, Hong Anh. Now, when all familiar places are closed to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic, An said that she faces many difficulties because she has to share a working space with relatives, and is more easily distracted. Phuong Thao (20 years old, HCMC) also often chooses a coffee shop as a place for group study with friends. Every 1-2 days, her friend goes to the “gut shop” near her house to find inspiration to work. “The internet in my room is quite weak, the space is small, so I like to go to the restaurant to sit. There is a nice space, good drinks, good wifi, so it is faster to run the deadline at school.” She added that going out to study and meeting deadlines also creates a sense of separation between work and rest. Share with Zing , this female student said she spends about 1/3 of her monthly income from part-time work in the category of working coffee. Thao feels that this amount is not too large, has practical effects, so she has no regrets. “Now, the shop, the library are closed. Personally, I find it difficult to concentrate when studying at home, sometimes when I’m at work, I get caught up in this and that. But I don’t know, the epidemic.” Phuong Thao said. Renovate your own workspace at home About 1-2 times a week, Man Linh (23 years old), a reporter, will go to the cafe to work for 2-3 hours. Outside the editorial office, she likes to write, find inspiration and topics for articles in unique, quiet spaces. “For me, a highly aesthetic scene helps a lot in the creative process. In addition, watching people attentively type at a computer, write, and sometimes hear people whispering loud and loud also makes me feel good. God works more,” she shared. Before the epidemic, Man Linh spent 1-2 times a week going to a coffee shop to work and find inspiration. Photo: NVCC. Due to the complicated development of the epidemic, coffee shops in Hanoi also stopped allowing customers to sit back, only accepting take-out. Since then, Man Linh has moved to work from home most of the time. Although quite sad because there is no longer a chance to change the working environment from the office to the restaurant, Linh said that this is a necessary job in light of the current situation. Therefore, she took the time to arrange the neat and delicate working corner, with the desire to create the ideal space at home. “Luckily, I have a spacious, well-lit private room, so I just need to arrange a little. Sometimes it’s distracting because of housework and the ‘charism’ of my beloved bed, but everything is fine “, Linh smiled and said. Long Hai self-renovated the bedroom space, study desk to increase aesthetics, help increase performance and be more motivated to work in the near future. Photo: NVCC. As for Long Hai, a 23-year-old office worker, not being able to sit and chat over coffee and work in the coming days does not bother him. On the contrary, he sees this as an opportunity to change his lifestyle and save money. “The epidemic is stressful, it’s not very safe to sit in a coffee shop with many people. I think working from home is also good, saving a ‘good’ amount of money every month,” he said. Since the previous epidemic, Long Hai has become more interested in creating an ideal living and working space at home. Taking advantage of the long break, he redesigned his bedroom by himself, buying furniture and equipment needed for the renovation. “Thanks to that, I have a satisfactory private space so that I can feel comfortable and quiet in the house. I can both work, rest, avoid the epidemic safely and without spending money,” he said.

Share with Business Insider , Saki (character name changed) accused Google of not resolving her complaint about being harassed by a male colleague from March to September 2020. This is the time when the Google office in Tokyo (Japan) switched to working from home due to the impact of the epidemic. In an email to Saki, a representative of Google’s human resources department said that the harassment took place outside of the workplace, not under the management of the company. However, Saki claimed to be harassed by colleagues while working remotely according to Google’s guidelines. “I’m completely disappointed… I don’t know what it would be like to work in an office,” admits Saki has difficulty reporting the inadequacies of working from home. Instigating texting when married Saki’s story was shared after 500 employees of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, simultaneously signed a request to stop covering up employees accused of harassing colleagues in April. Some documents shared by Saki for Business Insider including screenshots of messages between her and male co-workers, a copy of the complaint email sent to Google’s human resources department in Tokyo, and a statement from two friends of Saki. Saki joined Google in December 2019. Immediately after joining the job, she received a message from a colleague she had never met via LinkedIn. During the first week, the man offered Saki a drink. “I just want to talk about work,” he texted Saki. Google has faced many accusations of irresponsibility when it comes to dealing with employees who have been sexually harassed. Photo: The Guardian. A few weeks later, her colleague flirted with her by texting: “I find you very attractive… You are so beautiful in white. Come out for a drink with me.” Although Saki said that she was busy, this person still wanted to meet. By January 2020, Japan recorded the first case of infection. Both accepted to date in the context of the outbreak of the pandemic. However, only a month later, Saki discovered that the other colleague was married. Wanting to cut ties as soon as she knew the truth, Saki decided to video call Google’s human resources department to discuss. Through his lawyer, the male colleague confirmed that the “serious” relationship with Saki only started after he revealed he was married. However, records show that Saki called human resources on March 1, as soon as she learned that the man who flirted with her was married. Employees harassed for months, Google still “ignored” Recounting the meeting, Saki said the Google representative cited the policy of accepting relationships between two employees in the workplace, as long as one is not a senior of the other. According to Google, the incident described by Saki mainly took place at home, not the office, so it is not considered a workplace problem. “They said to me: ‘He’s not your boss. You also agreed to date so that’s your private matter'”, Saki said that Google considers this relationship a private matter, so it refuses to resolve it. . For the next several months, the male colleague continued to text Saki regularly even though she wanted to cut off the relationship. “I am very happy to meet you. I am always excited every time we meet. Hearing your voice makes me happy all day” is the content of the message he sent to Saki on April 4, 2020. Saki did not reply to the message. Google believes that employee harassment occurred at home, so it declined to investigate. Photo: Bloomberg. “I want to go for a walk with you,” a colleague texted Saki on May 8, 2020. 9 days later, another text message read: “You may be out of interest or not like me anymore, but I’ve been thinking about this relationship… I’d be happy if we could just go for a walk and talk about everything. “. For many months, the man repeatedly wanted to see Saki during working hours, although she repeatedly refused. “I don’t want to be the third person. I don’t want to see your face, we have nothing to say,” Saki replied to a colleague in June 2020. When Google announced that most of its employees would work from home through the end of 2020, the alleged harassing co-worker regularly visited Saki’s house without being invited. In the first time on July 10, 2020, Saki refused when he wanted to come to the house, but received the response “I’m in a taxi”. After being bothered many times, Saki decided to video call the HR department for the second time in September 2020. However, despite the “obsessive” harassment actions, the Google representative still insisted that it was a consensual relationship, a private matter, so he refused to investigate. “Neither of you have the right to impose others in the company. Therefore, we still maintain that this is a personal matter. I understand this is a difficult situation, but we ask for your understanding for the company. does not have the right to interfere in the personal affairs of employees”, the Google representative continued that it was an incident at Saki’s house, so there was no responsibility to solve it. Saki did not accept the above response because like millions of others, Saki’s home became a workplace for the whole of 2020. Not long after Saki’s second complaint, this man left Google to go to another technology company for unknown reasons. “I have to acknowledge his existence from time to time because our fields of work are similar… I still feel threatened on a regular basis,” Saki said, adding that she was still worried by the person continuing. continue to work in a technology company. Tired of the irresponsible handling of the human resources team at Google, Saki decided to leave the company in January 2021.

Reply Business Insider A Google representative declined to comment on Saki’s allegations, but asserted that local policy “clearly prohibits harassment in the workplace”. “We investigate all allegations and will take decisive action if an employee is found to be in violation,” a Google spokesperson declined to answer a question when asked if the harassment policy was updated in the wake of the outbreak. not yet.

People can be harassed via text messages, comments and videos. That’s why it’s important to HR and public leaders. The company is about raising awareness, increasing training and opening up a safe psychological space for employees to speak up,” shared Josh Bersin, founder of HR consulting firm Bersin Academy.

TikTok is growing strongly all over the world. Several tech employees in the UK have refused to pursue jobs at TikTok because of concerns about the company’s harsh, intense and toxic work culture, according to CNBC News. The six said they withdrew from interviews, turned down job offers or left the company after learning that TikTok had a culture of “996” through online reviews or through face-to-face experiences. The 996 culture is the applied pattern commonly seen in Chinese companies. The name comes from the requirement that employees work from 9am to 9pm, 6 days a week, and 72 hours per week. Meanwhile, the regulation in the US and UK is about 40 hours per week, depending on the specific work. In the UK, it is illegal to work more than 48 hours per week. Hazardous Environments “The most common problem I found on Glassdoor is the work-life balance, the crazy hours. That situation persists until now, ”said an anonymous candidate. “It doesn’t seem worth it to me. I stopped the conversations pretty quickly knowing they were less flexible in terms of location and work policies ”. Last week, TikTok announced, Chief Financial Officer Shou Zi Chew has been appointed as the new CEO, which could result in the company needing more technical manpower. An anonymous senior artificial intelligence researcher also revealed that he turned down a job offer from TikTok despite being offered a salary of £ 100,000 ($ 139,000 – $ 3.2 billion) a year, plus other treatment. “I looked it up on Glassdoor. It didn’t seem that positive in my work / life balance, which I really value, ”said the person. While Glassdoor is considered by many to be a useful platform for evaluating the insider performance of companies, it is only a source of reference as reviews can be overly emotional at times. However, four former employees told CNBC they had a negative experience at the company whose video-sharing app owns 2 billion downloads. Another former anonymous employee told CNBC that TikTok was the most poisonous workplace they have ever experienced. “Everyone there feels tired, while life is too short. In the first year before the outbreak, there were only 4-5 days of weekends of the year that I didn’t have to work, ”said the person. “Everyone was right when they quit their jobs and I know the company is having difficulty in hiring. But in the end, they don’t care, the staff is just numbers ”. With the same belief, another former employee revealed, the average working day at TikTok is 15 hours. “For them, it is normal,” said the person. “The staff complained, but they still accept it later, maybe because of the good salary”. “Away” TikTok is accused of having a toxic work culture. In a one-star review on Glassdoor, two former employees of Tik Tok urgently warned under the title “Stay away, stay away, stay away”. The article lists 10 reasons why people should “resist the temptation of TikTok and find work elsewhere”. Criticism included “unbalanced work life” to “malicious team” and “bad management”. TikTok has been expanding the workforce around the world as it becomes an increasingly popular social media app. The company needs employees to moderate its content and handle technical and policy issues. In an effort to improve workplace culture, TikTok hired Michal Osman from Facebook as head of culture in Europe in January. But she came only after dozens of people quit her job. “I know TikTok has discussed the work with a lot of people. I don’t think they hire it easily, because there is still a shortage of people who can lead AI labs, ”an AI researcher told CNBC. While some are reluctant to come to work at TikTok, the company has increased the number of employees in Europe from around 1,600 in September to more than 3,000 today, with many joins from Facebook and Google. A current employee told CNBC that they have not experienced 996 culture, meetings are banned on Wednesday afternoon and Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, TikTok is ranked 30th in the list of best places to work by Great Place to Work in the UK. Great Place to Work – often consulting and surveying companies charging prior to listing – rating statements are determined entirely by employee experience and anonymous responses.

“Over time, you often feel restless and agitated,” she said. This interferes with your ability to enjoy the apartment and prevents you from spending time at home. ” Here are the things to avoid when arranging and building a living space: 1. Room lacks natural light “Tight spaces, especially without windows, can create anxiety and trigger panic attacks,” says Cecille Ahrens, another therapist. People in confined spaces are more susceptible to stress, feeling overwhelmed, and difficulty concentrating, Ahrens added. If you live in a windowless space, therapists recommend going outdoors to improve your mood. “I always recommend that people take a little time each day, even if it’s only for a few minutes, in sunlight to reduce stress.” Tiara Christian – a person living in a 400m2 apartment, also used mirrors to amplify natural light, to help the living space not feel cramped. Tiara Christian’s indoor mirrors reflect natural light. 2. Lack of room dividers Although a cramped space can be stressful, if the room is too large you will have less privacy, according to therapist Rojas and therapist Weena Cullins. “The room’s ventilation can lead to constant distraction and loneliness,” says Rojas. “Many people need room and separation to make video calls to work or school,” she said. To improve this, Anju Abraham – an apartment tenant in Washington, USA, has used room dividers to create a private space when visitors arrive. If you do not want to build a partition, you should use a screen to separate it. Anju Abraham uses room dividers to create privacy. 3. Lack of storage space To maintain order in a small space, figuring out how to store items is not easy. Experts recommend investing in furniture with a variety of functions, such as seats, beds, and bottom storage. Another tip is to clean up your belongings regularly. The bed serves as a storage space. 4. Work and relax in the same space Therapists advise against working and relaxing in the same space. Therapist Ariel Sank said: “During the past year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many people working from home made it difficult for them to separate work from their personal lives. When working right next to your bed, it can be difficult to concentrate. When it comes time to rest, you are also not comfortable because you are distracted by computers, work books right next to you. “By creating a separate area, where work and relax, you not only create physical separation, but also mental separation,” Ariel Sank said.

What are employers now obliged to do?

All employees who do not work exclusively at home must be offered a corona test in their companies on a regular basis. The ordinance of the Federal Ministry of Labor enables self-tests as well as quick tests in which trained personnel take a smear. It is only stipulated that the tests must be used to directly detect the pathogen of the coronavirus.

How often do tests have to be offered?

As a rule, employees who do not work in the home office must be offered at least one corona test per calendar week according to the regulation. Two test offers per week are expressly required for groups with an increased risk of infection. This affects, among other things, staff with many personal customer contacts, employees who are housed in shared accommodation, as well as employees who perform body-friendly services – for example in cosmetic studios and massage parlors.

Is there a test requirement for the staff?

No. It is a test offer obligation for employers. In principle, employees are free to accept these offers or not. The Federal Ministry of Labor argues that the legal hurdles for compulsory testing are too high. “The obligation to cooperate of employees in occupational safety would not cover such a test obligation,” said a ministry spokesman. However, the federal government has called for employers to take advantage of the test offers.

How do the companies have to implement the obligation?

The employers must make the tests available and document that they have purchased the tests or offer appropriate test capacities. However, you do not have to document that your employees make use of them. It is therefore actually sufficient to send self-tests home to employees or to make self-tests available to everyone in the company.

Who pays for the tests?

The employers have to bear the costs for the tests offered. According to its own information, the federal government expects that the test offers initially required by the end of June will cost 130 euros per employee. Companies that are particularly burdened can, however, claim the expenses as part of an application for bridging aid.

What should the tests bring?

The tests are designed to help detect corona infections in people who do not yet show any symptoms or no clear symptoms. However, a negative test result is no guarantee that the person concerned is not infected. Even if handled correctly, a negative test is “just less likely” to be contagious to others, explains the Robert Koch Institute. Against this background, the ordinance of the Federal Ministry of Labor justifies the new obligation with the aim of “reducing the operational SARS-CoV-2 infection risk”. According to the current status, negative test results are only meaningful for the current day. Therefore, even before the regulation came into force, there was criticism that one or two tests per week were not sufficient.

Why is the federal government introducing compulsory testing?

The federal government did not consider the implementation of the test offers of the companies on the basis of the voluntary commitment to be sufficient. In the debate about the implementation of the test offers in practice, the various sides cited different numbers. On April 8, the federal government published the results of a survey carried out on its behalf. It came to the result that 69 percent of the companies and around 70 percent of the employees either already received regular test offers or these should follow shortly. This proportion was well below the aforementioned target of 90 percent. Two days earlier, the major trade associations had published their own figures, according to which 80 to 90 percent of the companies were already offering tests or were preparing to do so immediately.

What criticism is there from the employer?

Leading trade associations such as the Federation of German Employers’ Associations (BDA) describe the mandatory test offers as a “declaration of mistrust towards companies”. The test requirement is criticized as “another bureaucratic burden”. In addition, various associations stated that there were problems, especially for smaller companies, in obtaining sufficient quantities of the required tests.

Dong Mingzhu talked about the protection of talents should be reasonable and legal, Zhang Han said that he did not want to train people

In the show, when talking about the training of interns, Zhang Han bluntly stated that he actually didn’t want to train people. He said that because he had spent two or three years training people, and in the end, the other party left, which is actually a great loss for his company. After hearing what Zhang Han said, Dong Mingzhu expressed his understanding and also expressed his own thoughts.

Dong Mingzhu said that the flow of talents is actually possible, but the country should introduce certain policies to make the flow of talents reasonable and legal. “Every time talents are cultivated, when results are to be produced, people leave, and the loss to the enterprise is heavy.” Therefore, it is very important to protect and train talents. Dong Mingzhu also bluntly said that his company has always insisted on cultivating talents, but it also allows certain talents to flow in the process.

Liang Jianluo tried to cater to the boss but suffered “Waterloo”, Meng Yutong Zheng Ruxin disputed due to differences in work concepts

The first report of the Dong Mingzhu team is about to hit, and the interns are racing against time to write the plan. Liang Jianluo was the first to complete the report plan, seeking advice from old employees for excellence, and asking Mr. Dong’s preferences. Unexpectedly, the seniors pointed out the problem straightforwardly. The plan was questioned, frustrating Liang Jianluo’s confidence. With the encouragement of Meng Yutong and Zheng Ruxin, Liang Jianluo gradually calmed down, and finally overthrew the plan completely. It took two hours to write a new one and revise it, but in the end his plan failed to win the favor of Dong Zong. In the observation room, Dong Mingzhu also bluntly said that Liang Jianluo should not mainly cater to the boss’s preferences, but should show his creativity in the process.

Liang Jianluo reported the brutal “Waterloo” for the first time, but with his bold ideas and creativity, Meng Yutong finally won the first place with a 0.2 point advantage and was appointed as the team leader to be responsible for the implementation of the entire event. For the implementation of the activity, the plan still needs to be refined, and the activity process and other contents need to be clarified urgently, and contradictions and frictions continue in the process.

Regarding the choice of the event host, Zheng Ruxin volunteered to be the host, but Liang Jianluo said that he could choose from the guests. Zheng Ruxin retorted: “If someone invites me to participate in the event and suddenly let me be the host, I will feel it is work.” Each clings to one’s own opinions and is deadlocked. Immediately afterwards, Zheng Ruxin also had conflicts with Meng Yutong one after another about the choice of the theme color of the set and whether to stay up late and work overtime. After seeing the conflict between the two girls, Liang Jianluo became a Master Duan Shui and suggested that Meng Yutong be decisive. Sometimes the leader might just want to offend others. After hearing this, Meng Yutong also began to reflect on himself.

Wang Yue said that his speech was inadequate and caused doubts. Zhang Beiming was wronged because of the division of labor and failed to complete the assessment.

On the second day after joining Zhang Han, the interns accepted a new task: to record a video of Zhang Han’s handicraft for fans and write the artist’s New Year ID copy. After receiving the task, the three people immediately turned on the working mode, how to shoot a video of crazy brainstorming. After the collective discussion, two proposals with different styles were given, one is the conservative and aesthetic version, and the other is the innovative version, which “forces” Zhang Han to be forced to open business, showing the contrast. After hearing the two plans, Zhang Han accidentally chose the innovative plan, and the interns were pleasantly surprised, but in the process, Wang Yue’s eloquence was too intensive and his tone of voice was not appropriate. Zhang Han directly asked, “Did I feel angry when I came here today?” The atmosphere at the scene was once tense.

After the end of the video shooting, the three interns had not yet written their New Year’s texts, so they were notified by the boss for half an hour and then reported. Time is tight and tasks are heavy. Zhang Beiming, who has multiple tasks, decided to give priority to cutting the video. After finishing it, it was too late to write the copy, so he only provided an idea. After being called by the boss, Zhang Beiming smiled and wanted to explain but was interrupted. Zhang Han said that he didn’t listen to the explanation and only looked at the results. Zhang Beiming, who failed to complete the assessment, was aggrieved with naked eyes. Yang Di, the same editor, held up the injustice for Zhang Beiming: “I really want you to try editing!”

Can the implementation of the reporting plan go smoothly? How to deal with the boss’s doubts? What kind of workplace advice will workplace observers bring to interns? Every Tuesday at 12:00 noon, it will be locked on Mango TV “We Who Are New to the Workplace”. Stay tuned for more exciting content.

【Wise Observation Report】As an outstanding female entrepreneur in China and even in the world, Dong Mingzhu not only makes Gree bigger and stronger, but also often makes Gree search hot for free with his sharp complaints. Regardless of Dong Mingzhu’s personal style of doing things, his experience in the workplace is of great help to the current workplace people, especially young people.

A few days ago, Dong Mingzhu participated in the recording of the variety show “We Are New to the Workplace”. In the show, Dong Mingzhu turned into an interviewer to provide interns with suggestions and opinions. Moreover, in the program, Dong Mingzhu also put forward some suggestions about the workplace, “Dong Mingzhu from the media” also summarized the 10 core points of which are:

Destiny is changed on our own. What we should think about is what I can do, what I have achieved, and what else should I do;

Work regardless of gender, our career choices are related to our brains, we should use a professional perspective to correctly evaluate ourselves;

Being excellent comes at a price, and what you pay can make you a better person;

As long as young people have a tolerant heart and a long-term interest in learning, no matter if you encounter setbacks or difficulties, you will face it bravely;

Don’t avoid the opportunity to express the problem, otherwise you will avoid yourself;

A person’s success is not absolute, one must first assume the responsibilities of his position;

Don’t take relatives as the relationship, nor friends as the relationship, take his ability as the standard, ability is very important;

Not only think about what can be learned from the company, but also what it can bring to the company;

You don’t have to obey absolutely, you can refute if you are wrong;

Really good companies do not do things by drinking and inviting guests to dinner.

To be honest, Dong Mingzhu’s ten suggestions seem to be okay in general, and some of them are very good. For example, destiny is changed by yourself, excellence is costly, and do not avoid the opportunity to express problems, etc. And so on, can really calm down some impetuous young people, don’t be arrogant and eager to pursue superficial success. When you first enter the workplace, you should settle yourself and make yourself more outstanding.

However, there are some suggestions. Zhiguan believes that Dong Mingzhu is only starting from the perspective of his own leadership. As an intern who has just entered the workplace, unless he has a strong background, he can only think about it in his heart. For example, you don’t have to obey absolutely, you can refute this one if it’s wrong, let alone an intern, even the old fritters in the workplace dare not refute the leader like this. Of course, Dong Mingzhu, as the person in charge, can refute anyone at any time. From her point of view, there is indeed no problem. I don’t know, Dong Mingzhu still remember the scene where the employees he met while riding the elevator saw him and ran away.

Objectively speaking, Dong Mingzhu’s first impression is that he is “dominant president”. Even in the show, he will show his truest side and not be artificial. This is rare among Chinese entrepreneurs, and it is also a valuable place for Dong Mingzhu. For the selection of employees, Dong Mingzhu also has his own set of methods. Before that, she said that I would never want anyone who quit in the home appliance industry.

In Dong Mingzhu’s view, there are two reasons why the job-hopping person deviates from the original company: one is that he does not agree with the original corporate culture and feels that the original corporate culture is not good; the second is that his personal ability is not good. Those two kinds of people cannot penetrate into a company with a strong culture like Gree.

By the way, in the end, Dong Mingzhu’s 10 workplace advices are still very pertinent, at least not wrong. After all, Dong Mingzhu said before that he couldn’t do anything wrong, including making a mobile phone before. Dong Mingzhu didn’t seem to feel that he was doing something wrong.(Text / Wisdom Observation)

Now it’s official: employers in Germany will have to offer their employees compulsory corona tests from next week if they are not working from home. That is what the federal cabinet decided. It is only about an obligation for companies to make an offer – there is no obligation to test for employees. The employers also do not have to document whether the employees have accepted the offer. Labor Minister Hubertus Heil said that he had already signed the ordinance and that it would come into force “next week”. Initially, it applies until the end of July. Usually the employer has to offer one test per week. Employees in professions with a high risk of infection should receive an offer twice a week.

Up to 30,000 euros fine

The health and safety authorities of the federal states should monitor compliance with the obligation – for example in response to a complaint from employees. Violations can result in a fine of up to 30,000 euros. Government spokesman Steffen Seibert called on employees to accept the offers. “The Federal Government appeals to employees to act responsibly and to accept the offers for testing that are made to them, although they are not obliged to do so.” The employers have to pay for the costs. Federal Finance Minister Olaf Scholz rejects a reimbursement by the state. “This is now a national effort and everyone has to participate,” said the SPD politician in Deutschlandfunk. “Companies that have a business that can continue their production are in a far better position than the companies that now really struggle every day with the fact that, for example, the restaurant is not opening, the hotel is not operating properly can be.”

“Effort not disproportionate”

Scholz also referred to the extensive economic aid in recent months. “Last year it was 80 billion. If you add the tax breaks, just under 190 billion, all together,” said the SPD candidate for chancellor. “That is why I believe that this mandatory test is a reasonable and necessary measure.” Minister of Labor Heil also defended the new requirements. “It’s an effort, but it’s not disproportionate,” said Heil im ARD morning magazine. The CDU Economic Council expects the tests to cost German companies more than seven billion euros a month. Some small and medium-sized businesses couldn’t afford the hassle. Companies that have been badly hit by the Corona crisis can count the expenses for the tests as a cost item for the bridging aid.

Business associations are storming

Nevertheless, the business associations are storming against the regulation. “Once again politicians are trying to shift their duties on to employers, not to mention the costs,” said the President of the Federal Association of Wholesale, Foreign Trade and Services (BGA), Anton Börner, to the newspapers of the Funke media group. Nine out of ten companies would already test their employees for the corona virus or will do so shortly. As a matter of principle, Börner only advocates event-related tests: “Fixed test intervals are unsuitable.” The German middle class announced that they would file a lawsuit against the agreed obligation to offer corona tests. “Medium-sized companies must and will defend themselves against this. As an association, we are currently preparing the necessary legal steps for this,” said Markus Jerger, Federal Managing Director of the Federal Association of Medium-Sized Business (BVMW) to the newspapers of the “Funke Mediengruppe”. “Corporate testing is a lesson in policy failure.” He accused the federal government of having failed all along the line when it came to testing and vaccination logistics. The craft also clearly opposed compulsory testing. “We still consider a statutory test obligation for our craft businesses to be neither necessary nor expedient,” said the President of the Central Association of German Crafts (ZDH), Hans Peter Wollseifer, of the Rheinische Post. He also criticized that the state wanted to “shift responsibility for fighting the pandemic to the economy”. Most companies are volunteering to test their employees or are preparing to do so immediately. A test obligation is “a legally unnecessary action”.

Still a long way off from a nationwide offer

In fact, only a third of companies currently offer their employees one test per week. Another 30 percent were aiming for this in the next four weeks, as the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) announced after a survey of 2000 companies from the end of March to the beginning of April. Minister of Labor Heil that is not enough. The offer must be comprehensive, he told him ARD morning magazine. At the moment the situation is very different depending on the industry and company size. As the IAB survey shows, the most tests are carried out in large companies. According to this, 60 percent of the companies with at least 250 employees offer their employees corona tests, a third of these companies planned to do so recently. As the size of the company decreases, the proportion of companies that already give their staff a test opportunity drops rapidly. According to the IAB survey, there are also clear differences between the sectors. Corona tests are most widespread in education, health and social services, where 58 percent of companies already offer corona tests and a further 22 percent were planning to do so. In the area of ​​transport and logistics, the test offer is only 17 percent.

Sufficient tests available?

Small companies in particular are wondering whether enough self-tests are now available at all. According to Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn, the deficiency that existed in March has been eliminated. On Friday he had assured that there were “more than enough of the tests”. The federal government has ordered over 130 million self-tests for the months of March and April from various manufacturers, above all Roche and Siemens. According to the ministry, there are also enough rapid tests for use by trained staff. For this year they have secured a quota of 550 million and, if necessary, a further 100 million pieces.
