entering 2024, with the rise of domestic new energy vehicles and the price involution among new energy vehicle products, joint venture brands that focus on fuel vehicles are in a relatively difficult situation, especially japanese brands that lack brand influence and product advantages. in the past august, the sales of japanese brands fell sharply across the board, showing a declining trend...

there was news that dongfeng honda will reduce some of its production capacity, so it will inevitably lead to layoffs. for many domestic car companies, layoffs are a "difficult" thing, because many car companies are unwilling to pay employees in full according to the compensation standards, and employees will have disputes and even conflicts with car companies because they cannot get full compensation! however, the latest news has made many people's eyes light up. dongfeng honda's layoffs are actually "happy" for employees and companies.

on september 8, according to phoenix finance, dongfeng honda plans to lay off 2,000 employees, with a compensation standard of n+2+1, and employees are lining up to grab the quota...

the so-called "n+2+1", "n" represents the number of years of service, "2" refers to two months' salary, and an additional one month's bonus. this compensation standard is much higher than the layoff compensation of many domestic auto companies, especially compared with the layoff compensation of many independent brands. in addition, since dongfeng honda set up factories in china earlier, the length of service of employees is generally higher, and the basic salary continues to rise with the length of service. therefore, for employees with a length of service of about ten years, the layoff compensation is expected to exceed 200,000 yuan, and the compensation standard is very high.

what is more interesting is that dongfeng honda also held a farewell party for the employees who were about to leave. in terms of human relations, dongfeng honda's handling method was also full of human touch. now with the introduction of the "n+2+1" standard, since the number of layoffs has been determined, those old employees who are ready to find better jobs will naturally scramble for the quota and strive to maximize their benefits.

in fact, as honda's sales performance in china gets worse, the scale of the two joint venture brands, dongfeng honda and gac honda, will continue to shrink. in august, honda's sales in china were only 57,000 vehicles, and its domestic terminal sales from january to august were 525,000 vehicles, a year-on-year decrease of 27.2%. so if this trend continues, the layoffs mentioned above may not be the last for dongfeng honda.

in contrast to dongfeng honda's layoffs, which were mutually agreed upon by both employers and employees, many domestic auto companies have laid off employees, and many have even gone to court. for example, ideal auto's layoffs in the first half of the year required laid-off employees to go through security checks before entering the site to prevent trouble, and also advised employees to say they were leaving voluntarily. in essence, it was because the compensation was not in place, and various clauses were used to reduce the amount of compensation, which ultimately led to dissatisfaction among employees! if the compensation standards were the same as dongfeng honda's, and if the resigning employees were "welcomed", the resigning employees would naturally say good things about the auto companies.

therefore, in fact, for many automobile manufacturers, in the past one or two years, with the relatively poor industry environment and the continued downturn in the market, many manufacturers must reduce costs and increase efficiency by laying off employees. however, layoffs can also reflect the attitude of automobile manufacturers and the degree of their concern for employees. obviously, automobile manufacturers like dongfeng honda are still rare, and how well many of our independent brand manufacturers are doing can only be asked by themselves.
