Do you know the "filial piety" of enterprises on Thanksgiving Day?
Is it true that someone, like me, often knows about the existence of the 24 solar terms and foreign festivals such as Thanksgiving and Halloween through the reminders of friends? The last time was the day of light snow, and I realized "Oh, it's snowing" after reading the reminder from my circle of friends. Today is Thanksgiving, and I received many blessings early in the morning, such as: thanking my parents for giving me life; Thanksgiving relatives, give me love; Grateful friends, grow up with me; I thank all the people in my life. ...
The same content has been received many times, although I know most of them are sent in groups. At first, I would reply with expressions or thanks out of politeness, and then I became numb and replied one by one.

On Thanksgiving Day, I remembered that a classmate who was a boss consulted me some time ago: I wanted to learn from an enterprise to promote "filial piety culture" and give "filial piety money" to employees' parents and asked me what I thought.
In fact, I quite reject this kind of corporate behavior with the signboard of "filial piety". However, since my classmate's company is relatively small, with only a dozen employees, it is estimated that more than one-third of the employees still have relatives with his family, so they say "quite good".
I know several small bosses who sell clothes. There are only seven or eight employees in their shop, most of whom are junior high school students who come out to work in the countryside. On holidays, the couple invited employees to have a family reunion dinner at home, which was very enjoyable. On the Dragon Boat Festival, the proprietress personally wrapped zongzi and boiled eggs and brought them to the store, and each person gave out two. The employees are particularly satisfied and grateful, and their loyalty is also high. One of the employees worked with them for seven or eight years until they got married and had children. When they got married, the boss and his wife also got married, much like the employee's family. ...
Companies or employees of this nature and scale constitute a relatively single labor-intensive enterprise, which may be suitable for the magical existence of filial piety.
However, it is hard to imagine that foreign companies in the world's top 500 companies and large enterprises with more than 350,000 employees will invite employees to eat at home and show their parents "filial piety". Alibaba employees only receive a box of moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but there must be many young people who send resumes to Ali. In the final analysis, what kind of system an enterprise implements and what kind of corporate culture (custom) it advocates are closely related to the scale, nature, development stage and staff level of the enterprise. Stones from other mountains may not attack jade. If you don't learn well, you will become a "good example", which will make people laugh and give generously.
Thanksgiving is coming. What activities should enterprises that promote "filial piety culture" plan to call "cultural landing"? For example, invite employees' parents to eat; For example, play the background music of "Grateful Heart" and let employees wash their parents' feet; For example, organize employees' parents to travel; For example, sending rice, oil and salt to send warm ... except for "filial piety", the Double Ninth Festival and Thanksgiving Day ... are not worthy of corresponding activities, so it really can't be called "culture".
Only paying the so-called "filial piety" will not have good results and functions. To put it bluntly, if the source of filial piety is that the enterprise forcibly deducts 200, 300 or 300, 500 from the employee's salary, which represents the employee's "filial piety" to his parents, it is simply a manifestation of hooliganism!
The responsibility of an enterprise is to do a good job in management, realize sustainable growth and profit maximization, provide employees with competitive salaries, let employees see their future through the development of the enterprise, enhance their personal abilities and realize their self-worth. As for whether employees are filial to their parents, that is a personal matter for employees. How can we let enterprises manage their own affairs? How much does it have to do with the development and core competitiveness of enterprises? I really haven't heard of any company being awarded the title of "Best Employer" who advocates "filial piety".
Besides, there is no enforceable standard for filial piety. Employees' parents are different in age and financial ability, so they will be very grateful to send hundreds of dollars to an employee's parents surrounded by his family. Giving a rich second-generation parent 10 thousand yuan may not be in the eyes of people ... they won't let me go home and mop the floor and throw garbage at my parents, let alone wash their feet. "Filial piety" is a category of social ethics, and the trespassing behavior of enterprises that do not respect this boundary can only be a ridiculous performance.
If you really need filial piety, just turn it off when recruiting people. For example, set some questions for screening during the interview, and then make an inspection after joining the company, such as how long has it been since you went home? How often do you go home? How did you spend your first month's salary? How do you show filial piety to your parents? ..... No filial employees don't recruit, there is no need to spend energy to manage their filial piety? !

Some people think that "filial piety" is a reminder and practice of employees' filial piety, "which is conducive to rooting China's traditional filial piety in employees' hearts and subliming it into corporate culture ..." It really exaggerates the role of "filial piety".
Filial piety is a very traditional, personal and family thing.
Filial employees will naturally honor their parents without reminding them, which is also the result of parents' tutoring. A fierce cat teacher is in Shanghai now. I once read an article written by him and knew that he went back to his hometown in Chongqing to celebrate his grandmother's birthday. Xu, the signing author and writer of Jane's Letters, wrote down his last journey with his father in There is always some way to go by himself. After graduating from college, he paid his father's medical expenses and tattooed his father's death day ... enough to prove that this is "filial piety".
One year, our company organized employees to write New Year's wishes and dreams. Several employees wrote down their New Year's wishes, including "installing an air conditioner for their parents, buying a washing machine, and taking their parents on a trip …", which is still very touching now. It's not that the generation after 60' s and 70' s knows how to honor their parents better. After 80, 90, and even after 00 in the future, we must have confidence in filial piety. I believe that "the generation after 60 is more than the generation after 00."
"Filial piety" is not only manifested in money and material things, but in the final analysis, it is a kind of companionship of "often going home to see".
I know a company that practices "filial piety culture" under the initiative of its boss. Their practice is that employees enjoy paid holidays on their parents' birthdays (provided that most employees are locals), so they silently give this company a praise. For grass-roots employees who generally don't have double holidays, this paid holiday is enough for employees to feel the enterprise's intentions, chat with their fathers and wash dishes for their mothers. ...
After all, "filial piety" is not a bad thing. If it is based on the employee's willingness and is written into the labor contract after being recognized, it is not forcibly deducted against the employee's will. As an employee, you must obey.
