All the old people in the family had to go through the '90s, when they were laid off. It's a sad memory of a generation of people who have spent most of their lives with an iron job, lost their jobs overnight and suddenly fell to the bottom。
A lot of people are now panicking again: will the economy be in transition, the industry is adjusting, ai is in search of a job, 2026, when the mass layoff wave took place
Let us be clear today: history will not repeat itself exactly, but the impact of the change that the state is undergoing is not as small as it was, or even worse。
I. The wave of layoffs was a force of the times
In the end of the last century, many young people had only heard of it and had not really experienced it。
It was more like a "small society" at the time, where people felt like they were going to be in the state for the rest of their lives。
But the problem is also obvious: institutions are bloated, people are overstretched and duplication is serious。
In many industries, the products produced cannot be sold and businesses cannot afford to change。
This resulted in a wide-ranging diversion of workers, with tens of millions of workers leaving their familiar positions and re-entering their lives。
It's a one-size-fits-all reform of a special period. It's big, it's hard, it's hard to remember a generation。
Ii. The current state reform, not survey, is more "equipment"
A lot of people feel that the state is still safe without firing。
Big mistake。
Now, the adjustment is not called lay-off, it is not a one-size-fits-all exercise, but it is more sophisticated and unkind than before。
First, the examination is becoming more rigorous。
It is now common for the state to be re-adjusted, outcompetent, out-of-competent, out-of-the-post, out-of-the-post, out-of-the-post, but out-post, out-of-the-post, out-post, out-post, out-of-post。
Secondly, people are useless and efficient。
In the past, the state sought to be large, numerous and large; it now looked only at one thing: efficiency。
Manning, mixed-life jobs are being cleaned up in one place. The construction, energy and finance industries, which over the years have witnessed a quiet decline in numbers, have not been subject to dramatic redundancies in the news, but rather to silent optimization。
Third, ai and machines are replacing a large number of grass-roots positions。
The counters, audits, inspections, statistics... The work that used to be done by a bunch of people, the systems and machines can be done now。
It is not the enterprise that is ruthless, it is the market that is competitive and unable to keep up with efficiency, and it will be eliminated。
This one-size-fits-all adjustment was less gruesome than it was in those years, but for ordinary people, it was a little stressful。
It's not your unit, it's you
A lot of people go to the state, and all they want is to be safe, easy and easy。
But now this logic is completely out of hand。
Now, the state is not a place where you can get your retirement。
You can not be dismissed, but you can be marginalized, transferred, paid less, replaced by young people。
Previously, by seniority, by age, now by ability, by performance and by learning。
Real stability has never been left in a place that is not unemployed, but has gone anywhere to eat。
You have a skill, you can keep up with the times, you don't refuse to study, and you can turn around anytime your unit changes。
There's no need to panic in 2026, but ordinary people have to plan ahead
Back to the first question: will 2026 be the year of layoff
The answer is clear: no。
The year was a time of massive reform in a unique historical context and is now a normal, fine-tuning and optimisation, without the simultaneous release of tens of millions of people。
But that doesn't mean that there's nothing to worry about。
In the coming years, state enterprises will continue to be thinner, more productive and more transformed, and the space for mixed life will become smaller and harder and harder to lay down。
Instead of worrying about getting laid off every day, do these things earlier:
Don ' t stop learning. One more skill, one more exit
(a) accept the test, adapt to change, and do not always think about returning to the good old days
And save the savings, spend less, and have food in their hands and do not panic
Calm down, change is not about one person, but about the whole time。
The unit can give you a platform, but it won't give you a lifetime of absolute security。
It's always up to you to protect your life。
Times are changing, state enterprises are changing, and each of us must change。
There is no need to be afraid of reform, nor to be overly anxious, as long as you don't give up on yourself, lie down, and don't mess up, no matter how policy is adjusted and the industry changes。
Finally, i want to ask you:
