An employee was jailed for copying and selling company products! 100% of the operations have their own stores?

Working part-time after work has become a popular way for workers in all walks of life to make money. In the cross-border e-commerce industry, we can give part-time work the following meaning: employees work for a company and earn money while running their own store.

Of course, they can make more money by doing this, but they also put themselves in a dangerous environment. Some employees opened their own stores during work and were fired; some employees opened their own stores and the boss sent people to give bad reviews; some employees copied the company's products and were jailed after being discovered ...

Behind this unspoken rule that has been tacitly accepted by the industry lies countless struggles for interests.

100% of the operations have their own stores?

"I heard that 80% of Amazon operators have their own stores? That's terrifying." "What's the big deal? 100% of them run their own stores!" An operator said that the Amazon workers around him basically have their own accounts, and many of them who earn 5,000 yuan a month discuss operational issues with each other every night.

In the eyes of laymen, operating a private account is always a sensitive topic and is not suitable for exposure to the public. However, when collecting information, the editor found that some workers have openly said that they also have Amazon accounts in private ↓↓↓

A: My current main job is working in a company. After get off work, I will continue to run my own store and purchase and ship goods, doing both at the same time.

B: I am currently a company supervisor, and there is no room for advancement. I opened an account privately last year, and although I can receive dozens of orders every day, the salary is not as high as that in the company.

C: I also work on the side. I opened an account in July last year, and now I handle about 100 orders a day. I am only responsible for online work, and there are trusted people to coordinate with me for offline work.

"It seems that everyone is working and doing a side job at the same time. I'm going to check the market and try my hand at it too." An operator said that when people reach a certain age, they have to find a way out for themselves. After working in operations for a long time, they will basically have their own accounts. The 3,000 yuan they earn is more profitable than making 10,000 yuan for the boss instead of one million yuan.

There are a lot of operators who have similar ideas. The reason is that in addition to the attraction of money itself, there is also the fear of the workers about the future.

"A well-known Internet company believes that middle-aged people between 80 and 85 are already "elderly" in the workplace and is preparing to persuade them to leave! Whenever I see such news, my heart skips a beat." An employee said that while working in the company , he watched his boss's house increase from 30,000 to 80,000, watched his boss's car change from Camry to Land Rover, and watched his hair turn a lot white before he was 30... Where will the future of young people lie is a question that many people will think about.

What is the reason why workers don’t work alone full-time?

After running their own shops part-time while working, many sellers said that although they earned more money, they were also more tired.

Although one operator had opened a store in partnership with others and shared the work, he was still very tired and had trouble sleeping every day .

Another seller said that he often works on his own account until two or three in the morning, and his body has begun to suffer from the fatigue . However, he currently has little savings, and he does not have the courage to quit his job and work on his own.

If you ask how terrible it is to work alone, many workers may answer like this: Amazon will make you cry with laughter if you work alone .

For ordinary families, starting a business sometimes requires the courage to burn their boats, as the loss is all their wealth. In addition to making a little more money, running your own store while working part-time can also allow you to first consider the benefits and risks of both sides before making further plans.

An employee sold the company's products and was jailed

" For those of you working part-time and independently, do you register with your own information? Will your boss find out and fire you? " As the trend of working part-time and independently becomes more and more popular, many people want to do so, but they also have concerns.

Some companies have explicitly prohibited employees from opening private accounts, and have taken strict measures to prevent operations from working alone. One operation said: "If we check our own stores during work, we will be fired. The company's logistics and manufacturers don't allow us to touch them. Even though they are out of stock, they don't look for other manufacturers to quickly purchase and replenish the stock. The company does this because it is afraid that we will know the manufacturer . "

Some companies will also regularly have someone look up employees’ corporate legal person information on Tianyancha , and fire them if they find it. It is understood that a company ’s operations and procurement used their own information to jointly open a company , and both were fired after the company’s HR found out.

"Who can guarantee that employees will not do anything related to their own accounts during working hours? They take the company's salary but do private work. As a boss, are you being taken advantage of?" A company boss scoffed at this phenomenon.

In real life, sometimes firing is just the mildest option.

It is understood that many employees open accounts and sell the same products as the company, becoming competitors of the company . Because the company's products have been verified by the market and sell well, they can save on product selection , greatly reduce risks, and quickly place orders, which is much easier than starting from scratch.

Once the company discovers this practice, the consequences will naturally not be good.

Some people were fired by the company and started their own business, but their stores were constantly retaliated by the company, and their lives were miserable. There was also a Shenzhen operator who hijacked his company's products while working . After being discovered, the company directly called the police . There are many similar examples: " Previously, a certain operator hijacked the company's products, and after being discovered, he lost money and went to jail! "

Thinking: Is it wrong for employees to run their own shops?

Regarding the phenomenon of employees opening private accounts, unlike many bosses who are opposed to it, many employees believe they are not wrong.

A: I advise salesmen to do private work and go it alone when the time is right. Otherwise, you will regret it sooner or later. Working for others is meaningless.

B: There is a way to make money! As long as you don't use company resources to do things that harm the company, isn't it normal to run your own store after get off work? Just don't follow the company's sales or sell the same products as the company.

C: Many bosses in the cross-border circle are not good people. If you don’t work overtime, you feel like you are not working. If you pay too much commission, you feel like you are losing money . Is it wrong for me to open my own store and make a little more money?

D: I personally dislike some people who work part-time directly for the company's money. They have no bottom line. However, there is nothing controversial about employees running their own shops.

Of course, some employees still suffered bad consequences even if they did not copy-sell company products, operate their own stores during working hours, or use company resources . "After my boss discovered my store, he secretly gave me more than a dozen negative reviews and filed more than a dozen claims ," ​​the seller said, adding that he had upheld his professional bottom line, but his boss had not.

In the era of interests, who is right and who is wrong is no longer something that can be explained in one sentence ...
