▶ Video account attention cross-border navigation In 2020, the butterfly effect of the epidemic caused the storm of cross-border e-commerce to sweep the world. With the help of a large number of training institutions and the media, Amazon was also pushed to the cross-border trend and was deified as the best place to make money. However, the cross-border market is changing rapidly. The dividends from the 2021 epidemic have been gradually divided up, and involution has become the main theme of the industry. Many sellers who lack strength and foundation have been beaten to death on the beach by the waves behind them. Under this circumstance, this year's cross-border industry has also seen a wave of resignations. Now that 2022 has entered the final countdown, workers from all walks of life are looking forward to the arrival of annual leave and the payment of year-end bonuses. However, many Amazon employees stopped sprinting before the finish line and resolutely ran to other tracks to start again. A new wave of resignations? A large number of Amazon operators are looking for jobs at the end of the year! A seller posted on a forum that a new wave of resignations seems to have broken out recently. The seller posted a recruitment operation information on a recruitment website. The content was mediocre. The good thing was that the company's overall commission was relatively good, and the employee salary level was indicated. ▲ The picture comes from Zhiwubuyan However, the situation of submitting resumes was very different from the beginning of the year when almost no one was interested. From the end of last month to the beginning of this month, I received more than a dozen resumes every day. A common phenomenon is that these job seekers who join the company at the beginning of the year and leave at the end of the year mostly have relatively high requirements for the basic salary. For example, "ordinary operations" requires a basic salary of 10k-12k, and they bluntly state that the salary cannot be lower than the previous job. The seller couldn't help but feel puzzled: It's already the end of the year and it's still the peak season, why are so many people leaving? In this regard, some sellers said that with various big promotions coming at the end of the year, there is great pressure on performance indicators. In addition, the overall market conditions this year are not good, and many operations basically cannot get commissions. The unsatisfactory salary and benefits have become the last straw that broke the camel's back, and they can only find another job with a higher basic salary to seek security. Although the cross-border industry in 2020 is also full of challenges, it also contains many opportunities, and many people have made a lot of money. A seller who was quite successful last year resolutely resigned at the beginning of this year to seek a job with a salary that matches his performance last year. During the job search, the seller found that the recruitment status of the entire market at that time gave people a sense of confidence that Amazon had great prospects, as if anyone who entered the market could make money everywhere. After comprehensive consideration, he finally applied for a job with a high base salary and low commission. Facts have proved that this conservative decision is undoubtedly wise. Under the continuous attack of account blocking, the company's stores were almost wiped out and fell into business dire straits several times. After registering a new store and starting over, it was hit by a new round of account blocking again. Under this situation, it was very difficult to reduce losses, let alone earn high commissions. This wave of resignations at the end of the year actually also reflects the turbulence in the industry environment since the beginning of this year. Many sellers are struggling to move forward with the burden of performance in the gap between account suspension and internal circulation, and their job-seeking intentions are gradually moving towards having a stable basic salary as a backstop. With the turnover rate soaring, what kind of pressure do Amazon employees face? One seller made a sharp summary: The reason why Amazon employees leave is nothing more than too much work, too little pay, too far from home, and too low a position, too little power, and too much responsibility. These fourteen short words are powerful and condense the current situation of many Amazon employees leaving. The high turnover rate in the cross-border industry this year can be attributed to multiple factors. 1. Unstable salary and benefits 1. A large number of start-ups have poured in, but have been eliminated in the fierce competition. Many sellers have fallen into the fire pit and their salaries are not guaranteed. 2. Operating costs have increased exponentially, price wars have been raging, and overall profits have fallen sharply. Many companies have suffered heavy losses and can only lay off employees, cut salaries, and optimize their structures. 1. Frequent industry crises, platform supervision, policy changes, and changes in the international situation have caused the operating risk factor to continue to rise. 2. The market is complex and ever-changing, and the pressure on performance indicators is enormous. Ultimately, the ups and downs of the industry environment have led to the instability of Amazon employees' employment . One seller joked: I can earn more money picking up bottles from the company than working at my job. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group A seller admitted that after experiencing the internal circulation, account blocking, price increases and other bloody events in 2021, Amazon has changed from a gold-digging profession to a miserable operations profession. Today, the industry trend is moving from wild growth to compliance and refinement. During this transitional period, some people have the courage to escape from the siege of Amazon, while others choose to change the environment and start over. What do you think about this?
