▶ Video account attention cross-border navigation It is learned that according to foreign media reports, Amazon recently announced that it is recruiting qualified personnel for positions in Nigeria in order to successfully launch the Nigerian site in April 2023. In addition to recruiting for positions in Africa, Amazon is also looking for several technicians in Argentina to facilitate its entry into Colombia and Chile. It can be seen that Amazon's recruitment work in emerging markets is in full swing, and the new site is expected to be launched on time. However, in contrast, there have been many news reports about wage arrears and layoffs in the cross-border circle recently. Among them, a freight forwarding company that once raised 4 million yuan for customs clearance and then declared bankruptcy in mid-June seems to have set off a new storm because of wage arrears for employees. The storm is brewing again, and a former freight forwarding employee climbs onto a 6-meter-high overpass to demand his salary! It is learned that a few days ago, in the seller communication group, a seller broke the latest news that former employees of a freight forwarding company that had previously declared bankruptcy were holding banners on the overpass to demand their wages. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group In the leaked photos, the employee posted a white banner with black letters on a 6-meter-high overpass : "xx has been withholding my salary for several months, give me back my hard-earned money!" The scene seemed a bit shocking. Prior to this, it was also mentioned in previous articles that an employee of the freight forwarding company revealed that the freight forwarding company had already defaulted on wages for many employees before declaring bankruptcy, and had also illegally fired many employees without any compensation, which was very different from the "N+1 severance pay" mentioned in the company's bankruptcy notice. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group After the news was revealed, many sellers condemned the freight forwarding company for its irresponsible behavior. So far, the freight forwarding company has not responded to this. We are not sure about the current situation of the employee who is asking for salary, but we will continue to pay attention to the follow-up progress. There is no doubt that the cross-border industry has been in turmoil recently. In order to attract and retain core talents in key positions in this turbulent market, cross-border sellers have also put in a lot of effort. Anker issued additional stock incentive draft, and Leckey funded employees to buy houses! It is learned that on June 22, cross-border seller Anker Innovations released a draft restricted stock incentive plan. The company plans to issue 6.493 million restricted shares for equity incentives, with the initial grant price of 40 yuan per share. It is reported that the proposed additional issuance of shares accounts for 1.6% of Anker Innovations' total share capital on June 22. Calculated based on the closing price of the day, the value of this incentive stock is as high as 400 million yuan . ▲ The picture comes from Anker Innovations announcement The incentive plan covers 426 people, accounting for about 12% of the total number of employees . Most of the stocks will be used to incentivize core technical and business personnel , with a focus on the intelligent innovation department. The first grant accounts for 80% of the total equity, and the reserved portion is 20%. Of the 80% first grant, only 17% is allocated to company executives, and the other 63% is allocated to core technical and business personnel. In addition, Lechuang, also a cross-border big seller, recently issued an announcement to provide financial assistance to its employees for purchasing houses: it plans to use its own funds to establish an interest-free loan fund pool with a total amount of RMB 3 million for purchasing houses, and provide financial assistance to employees who meet certain conditions for purchasing houses. ▲ The picture comes from Levo announcement The announcement stated that the subsidy is applicable to employees who have signed a labor contract with the company and have served the company and its branches and subsidiaries (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas companies) for 1 year or more. The exceptions include directors, supervisors, senior managers, actual controllers, shareholders holding more than 5% of the company's shares and their affiliates. As leading companies in China's cross-border e-commerce branding, these two announcements from Anker Innovations and Logchuang will undoubtedly motivate employees' work enthusiasm, better attract and retain core talents in key positions , thereby maintaining the stability of the management team and facilitating the company's continued healthy development. Nowadays, the cross-border e-commerce market is in a period of ups and downs and transformation. Some cross-border related companies have laid off employees and delayed their salaries, while some companies have issued incentive policies to benefit their employees. As the saying goes, before you can fight against foreign enemies, you must first stabilize the country. We would also like to remind all sellers that in the current turbulent situation, it is essential to maintain the stability of the company's management team. In addition, sellers should be more cautious when choosing relevant cooperative logistics companies and service providers. There may be more risks in cooperating with service providers that cannot even "maintain internal stability". What do you think about this? Please leave a message in the comment area.
