Huawei Impressions (iii)Huawei TerminologyThe struggling person

Although as a Huawei term, the "struggling" person seems to be a little different from the actual reality of many companies from an external form. Because many companies, not only includeITcompanies, and even many large enterprises, usually personal overtime is basically no overtime. I have also been in the so-called American business, even the Americans there is no overtime to say, and they work overtime is no less than the Chinese. This is only compared with the United States, if compared with Korean enterprises, South Koreans seem to work overtime is nationwide (the author is also very "unfortunate" in the Korean enterprises have worked2years). Holiday overtime, statutory overtime pay, this I was in the first time, mistakenly thought as a Huawei struggle in the holiday overtime, but also no overtime pay. Later, the leadership deliberately explained to me, in the Huawei overtime divided into two, one is their own arrangements for overtime, one is the leadership of the overtime, the latter is the mandatory overtime, even if the "struggle" in the holiday can also apply for the overtime wages, which is not conflict with the struggle, For example, the monthly month of Saturday to work is to pay double overtime pay. In addition to working overtime and taking annual leave, Huawei has transformed into a working hour get that can be used at the end of Saturday . Aovertime at the end of the day, you can choose get (that is, leave) can also choose to receive double overtime pay. Some people will say that I do not compare with these poor countries, indeed with Europe. Before Huawei, listen to an Israeli saying he went to Europe (like Denmark) to debug the equipment, said he had just set up the equipment, ready to start testing, Europe, the local man looked at the table,5Point, immediately after work left, make him very silent (Westerners also don't understand each other). Then there is a chance to go to Europe (the United Kingdom, the Netherlands), amazing, incredibly weekend supermarket will be closed, also see there is a lot of people sitting on the lawn in the sun, comfortable very, indeed very enviable. But the work and vacation habits of Huawei's European local staff and other European companies are not very different (the foreign factions are not local employees). But I heard that some European companies are under pressure of competition, the situation of staff overtime is also increasing (just heard, not witnessed). Remember the author's wife in a companyHR, once interviewed a test staff from Huawei, that person's background is very good, and the salary is not high, but only one condition, that is not to work overtime. But how can I not work overtime? Believe that the brother will eventually find a company that does not work overtime, there are a considerable number of enterprises at the grass-roots level staff is not working overtime, especially the country-size enterprises and foreign companies in Europe and the United States are not working overtime.

In addition, the struggle agreement is not a forced agreement, which is the same as the choice of whether to work in Huawei, of course, the choice of different workers will be paid differently.

Of Course, the above explanation of the "struggle" does not mean that Huawei people do not work hard (of course, the hard work is rewarded), "overtime" and "total overtime" is also two concepts. As for the hard work of Huawei people, I would like to introduce and analyze it in a different topic later. Personally, the symbolic meaning and legal significance of the "struggling person" in Huawei is more significant than the actual work driving force. In other words, in Huawei is not to sign the "struggle" agreement, and will not work hard, the relationship is not big. The struggle person agreement, also is not what the standard text, writes a sentence, signs on own name also can. My own silly like the first to write the application of the party, voluminous wrote 1 pages of text to table determination, and later found that people only write two words can be, it is five mixed where, in Huawei more is to see action, not oath.

"Frontline" and "institution"

400% above the case of victory, May consider carefully with a line to be a little bit). Of course, the actual situation is not very bad command, in Huawei "give orders" has a more special name called "Call the Fire" or "transport shells", most of the front-line to the organs of the people also more respect, to the organs of the human flesh shells are given very bright name "expert".

"artillery shells" and "cannon fodder"

"Artillery shells" and "cannon fodder" is another two of war language. So many military words, giving people a kind of armed with the idea of war. Call for artillery, transport shells, translated into corporate language is to send support staff to the first-line support project, for the first-line output data, to provide energy or in the home with the first line for custom development and testing work. This analogy is very image, because the artillery (now the missile) launch position is in the rear and even the rear, which symbolizes the "organ", and the artillery shells to bomb is the enemy's frontier position, that is, the first line. "Call for gunfire" and "transport shells" will reflect the first line and the organization of communication, as well as the level of the organization to the front-line support of the process, all the wording of the goal is very clear, that is to achieve the victory of war. Because I want to set up a topic to discuss the military ideas in the use of Huawei, here is not in-depth expansion.

         " Cannon fodder "means different from" artillery shells ", and is not official language, but a private term for Huawei people. From the literal meaning of understanding, "cannon fodder" is also happening in the first line, because of their own fire did not suppress the enemy, and encountered enemy fire bombing, eventually they become a piece of dirt meaning. But this word is not only used in the first line, but also used in institutions, referring to their own or their own team stage goals (may be a product, a large project, a blank market development, etc.) did not achieve, no performance and was changed, but the ultimate goal is the other person or team reached, And to enjoy the final result is not their own meaning. This is indeed a bit cruel, in the actual battle of the war, rushed to the forefront of the general is the first to fall, or even the sacrifice of clean, and finally rushed to the enemy positions are often inserted flag in the back. Of course, in the reality of the war, the so-called "sacrifice" is not the real person over

"Experts" and "total"

There are two "expert" systems in Huawei, one of which is the official system and the other is the general term of all the frontline support staff.

Huawei employees can take two career development routes, one is manager's manager route, and the other is the expert route. There are detailed classification and grading of Huawei's tenure system, from first level to level eight (step up), top experts called " Fellow

         In addition to the service system of "experts", the other is the first line to the first-line organs of the human shell of Huawei Internal title. I guess there are two advantages to the first-line habit. The first advantage is that the authorities in the past too many people, and go back two days, the name can not remember, but also embarrassed to always ask what their name, called "experts" the most convenient. In addition, to support personnel to arrange a false high rise, intangible to the organs of pressure, to work well, worthy of this title, otherwise, the consequences you know. For the customer side, many times how to call is irrelevant, the key can help customers solve problems on it. If the problem is very beautiful, customer satisfaction, exceeding expectations, often customers will say "Well, you are a real expert!" ”。 But if the problem can not be solved, causing customer dissatisfaction and even complaints, even if the title changed to call "Brick" is no use, light "expert" like being "brick" pat the back of a bag, heavy can play through the (ie overnight through to liberation). So, like the author of a bottle of discontent, half bottle wandering of the guy, before the customer to solve the problem, was called "expert", no positive feeling (accurate very unhappy), only greater pressure, to be more careful to prepare a line to the task, if not complete the task, I will not eat the trouble. I once and another colleague complained that the first line called themselves "expert" things, colleagues jokingly give me advice: "Who call you ' expert ', you tell him ' you are the expert, your family are experts!" ’”。 This is to play jokes, the actual dare to say so, speak out can really do not want to mix, even want to dare not to think, each other so call themselves, they are very sincere with each other say "trouble boss called Name on it, I am not what expert".

a "title" that is very similar to "expert" is "total". Within Huawei, there are many leaders, and it is not found from the Address book whether this person is a leader, the communication record in the secretary name, is already very high leadership, but most of the leaders do not have a secretary. To address a strange person.XXTotal "is the most insurance approach, the name of the good thing, even if the other side is a soldier, the name is not correct, the other side is very happy, and more willing to help you work. As a result, the word "total" is more than "expert" used, excessive to what extent, the general people's name habit is "surname+Total ", but there are too many people with the same name, especially when writing e-mails, Huawei invented+Total "or" Last name+Total + in the form of "Thor", for example, if the leader (not actually), may be called "Thunder Total", "Lei Son", "Total Earthquake", "Thor". The company's senior leaders once had an informal speech to correct, the proposal is like the European and American enterprises, direct call each other's name more appropriate, but it seems the effect is not obvious. It is not to call the leadership of the name is not discriminated against, but often in order to respect the leadership, calling each other's name deliberately called his English name, this is not to foreign flavor, but seems to imply: "I call your English name instead of salutationxxTotal, is to follow the European and American Customs (Chinese custom I still stay in the heart, my heart or callxxtotal), and this also conforms to the speaking spirit of the relevant leader! ”。 But many people don't have English names (or they don't see them in their contacts). Huawei people are really smart, "elder brother", "elder sister", "MM","GG" ," teacher "," Boss "...are used (I love the "Boss", "leadership" the two words). Only a well-acquainted colleague will call the name. Each other call themselves "total", like the same as the "expert" as the title, very sincere with each other said "trouble boss called my name on it, I am not what'Total'".

These titles are used extensively in Huawei and are fully understandable, because the company is too big, a hundred thousand of people, often to organize a lot of people do not know each other or unfamiliar with the organization into a temporary team. Let the team add a bit of intimacy or fun, how to address is not very important, it is important to do things efficiently to achieve.
