The cross-border workplace at the end of the year: 60-month year-end bonus VS operations personnel need to bring their own products

The cross-border workplace at the end of the year: 60-month year-end bonus VS operations personnel need to bring their own products

Looking back at 2022, various factors such as the repeated outbreaks of the epidemic and high inflation have prompted new expectations to form in the volatile cross-border industry. Some cross-border sellers have experienced a decline in performance after sluggish consumer demand, while others have personally experienced the joy of increased performance during the peak season.

 

Now that 2022 has come to an end, the tense and busy cross-border workplace is also different: some cross-border companies have announced that they will release huge year-end bonuses, while others have asked employees to work overtime without restraint during the peak season, causing public outrage...

 


Evergreen may issue 60-month year-end bonus

 

It is learned that after giving out 40 months' salary as year-end bonus last year, Evergreen Marine may give its employees a year-end bonus of up to 60 months' salary this year , according to Taiwanese media reports, and is expected to become the "year-end king" for the second consecutive year.

 

If the news is true, over two years, Evergreen Marine's employees can receive a monthly salary bonus of up to 100 times .


 
It is understood that global economic growth slowed down in 2022, and the cross-border industry entered a period of rational growth. With the outbreak of the hidden dangers of overcapacity buried in the early stage of the epidemic, the demand for container shipping has dropped sharply since the second half of the year, and the shipping industry has no longer achieved the prosperity of 2021. However, there are still shipping companies that have made a lot of money.
 
According to an announcement released by Evergreen Marine on December 9: In November 2022, Evergreen Marine's revenue was NT$36.093 billion, a decrease of NT$9.555 billion from the previous month, a decrease of 20.93%, and a year-on-year decrease of NT$14.947 billion. The cumulative revenue in the first 11 months was NT$597.998 billion, an increase of NT$160.826 billion, an increase of 36.79% year-on-year.
 
It can be seen that although Evergreen Marine's revenue in November declined, judging from the full-year revenue data, its performance still continued last year's glory.
 
So far, although Evergreen Marine's response to the news is that "the global container liner market has undergone major changes, and it is too early to talk about year-end bonuses now. They are expected to be announced at the end of December" , judging from Evergreen's previous generous bonus distribution to employees, this year's year-end bonuses for Evergreen employees are likely to remain enviable.


 
At the same time, Yang Ming Marine Transport, which is one of Taiwan’s “three container giants” along with Evergreen, has also recently announced that it will pay out dividends of 40 months’ salary.
 
Although the above news has not been confirmed yet, the shipping industry's generosity in issuing bonuses still makes many sellers lament the rising logistics costs and envy them.
 
Also at the peak season at the end of the year, the year-end bonuses of some cross-border companies have disappeared, but ridiculous and absurd things in the workplace are emerging one after another.
 

Cross-border year-end job application: Operations require bringing your own products

 
It is learned that a seller recently revealed that he saw a "high-requirement" recruitment advertisement for a cross-border company on a recruitment APP, which clearly stated: It is hoped that the operations position can bring its own products.
 

As we all know, Amazon is a platform that focuses on product planning. The saying "30% operation, 70% product selection" directly points out the importance of products to Amazon. For this reason, the seller complained: If the operation had excellent products, he would have gone it alone long ago. This requirement is simply speechless.
 
It was observed that the company complained by the seller was small and was a startup company that was established in the middle of this year.
 
After the seller made this complaint, many sellers also issued reminders, believing that this company is not reliable:
"This kind of company basically has no development and no supply chain, and even the promotion costs have to be carefully calculated. They can only give the operation an account and a meager salary, hoping that the operation will take the company off."
"This is probably a company that wants to gain experience. You send them the product and they think it's done."
 
There are also sellers who empathize and express the weird cross-border companies they encountered when applying for jobs at the end of the year:
"I have also interviewed a company that required individuals to have an overseas community group of more than 100,000 people."
"I just joined a company at the end of the year. Not only do I have to do everything myself, but I also often work overtime without compensation during the peak season. Many people are ready to leave..."
 
Compared with the above news that Evergreen gave high year-end bonuses to its employees, the requirements and treatment of these cross-border companies are obviously not matched, and there are pitfalls everywhere, which makes people sigh at the disparity in the cross-border workplace.
 
As we are about to say goodbye to 2022, I wonder how the sellers are doing recently and what plans they have for next year? Are they expected to receive a substantial year-end bonus in the new year?
