大厂员工“35岁危机”背后真相：校招生“真的很便宜”
https://k.sina.com.cn/article_5617046716_14ecd54bc001010glz.html 北京西二旗地铁站，每天大量的年轻人于此乘车，出发奔向各自的工作岗位。图/视觉中国 “35岁危机”背后 本刊记者/杨智杰 文/雷晓琳 一向以“内卷”著称的互联网大厂正在开启一场纠偏运动。 2021年11月9日，腾讯推出员工关怀升级计划，员工入职满15年，可以选择“提前退休”，并享受退休福利。其中，长期服务感谢金为6个月固定工资，退休荣誉金是“服务年限金”与“50％的未解禁股票期权”任选其一。有人乐观解读，这是互联网企业首次直面和解决打工人的“中年危机”。但政策也受到一些质疑——在员工平均年龄30岁左右的互联网公司，“可能90％的人心里清楚自己肯定不会待到退休”。 过去10多年，互联网企业无疑是整体上最舍得为人才花钱的公司，大批优秀的高校毕业生、海外留学生闯关数轮面试，挤破头想涌入大厂。但最近一两年，“996福报”、畸形加班引发猝死、35岁焦虑频繁引发员工反弹和社会争议，互联网大厂的“用工模式”呈现出极端化偏向。 在研究互联网劳动关系的首都经济贸易大学劳动经济学院副院长范围看来，互联网行业人力资源管理机制出现的问题，由多种复杂因素造成，而当前的福利治标不治本。大厂反“内卷”还有很长的路要走。
