退休後再就業對高齡工作者造成的衝擊,並不只有收入減少。(路透)

〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕退休後再就業,薪水變少可能還不是最難熬的事。日本一名62歲男子在公司打拚近40年,退休後以年薪550萬日圓(約台幣111萬)獲得再僱用,收入雖較過去縮水,但仍在可接受範圍。沒想到昔日部下成了自己的上司,連經營近30年的客戶也被交給年輕員工,從昔日主管變成支援角色,巨大心理落差讓他當場雙腿一軟,最終決定離職,感嘆:「我拚了40年到底算什麼?」

日媒《THE GOLD ONLINE》報導,高橋修一(化名)的男子現年62歲,在首都圈一家製造公司工作近40年,一路從事業務工作,50多歲時曾擔任課長,並負責多家重要客戶。

請繼續往下閱讀...

高橋60歲屆齡退休後接受公司再僱用,年薪從在職時期800多萬日圓(約台幣162萬)降至約550萬日圓。他的妻子也有打工,每月收入約7萬日圓(約台幣1.4萬),夫妻生活沒有太大經濟壓力。高橋唯一的「待遇縮水」,是每月零用錢從4萬日圓(約台幣8076元)減至3萬日圓(約台幣6057元),但他對此並不在意,直言自己平常也沒什麼地方需要花錢,真正重視的是工作內容。

公司當初向他表示,希望他繼續運用多年累積的經驗服務客戶。雖然退休後不再擔任主管,最終決策與蓋章改由現任課長負責,但高橋仍能親自與客戶溝通、進行商談,工作內容與退休前相差不大。他也認為,自己可以一路做到65歲。

高橋手上最重要的一家客戶,更已經往來近30年。這段期間對方承辦人換過多次,但與高橋的關係始終沒有中斷。碰到價格談判或交貨問題,對方往往第一時間找他,甚至曾說:「找高橋商量,事情最快解決。」

然而,再僱用約1年半後,情況突然改變。已經成為他上司的昔日部下找他談話,通知公司準備重新分配工作。高橋原本以為自己可能增加負責的客戶,沒想到得到的答案卻是,今後希望他「支援員工」。

公司表示,為了推動世代交替,未來將由現役員工擔任客戶主要窗口,高橋則退到幕後,負責說明過往經歷,並在年輕員工遇到困難時提供意見。

這也意味著,高橋經營近30年的重要客戶將被移交出去。交接當天,高橋陪著新任業務拜訪這名老客戶,而接手的人正是過去曾由自己指導的昔日部下。客戶得知後還詢問:「高橋先生以後不再負責了嗎?」高橋只能回答:「事情就是這樣。」

回到公司後,昔日部下又請高橋整理資料,以便完成交接。高橋開始整理30年來的交易紀錄、曾經發生的問題、客戶承辦人的個性,以及歷年價格談判經過,等於親手將自己花費數十年建立的人脈與經驗交給年輕一代。

當天下午,昔日部下們圍在一起討論工作,高橋則在整理資料。有人詢問過去的事情,他就回答;有人需要建議,他就提供協助,但他已經不能再以自己的名義聯絡客戶。

就在高橋準備站起來時,雙膝突然失去力氣,昔日部下們見狀急忙上前關心。此時他腦中不斷浮現一句話:「我拚了40年到底算什麼?我究竟是為了什麼而工作?」

這次打擊讓高橋的工作意願急遽下降,之後最終決定離開這家服務近40年的公司。

報導指出,退休後再就業對高齡工作者造成的衝擊,並不只有收入減少。日本男性非正職員工比例在55至59歲時為10.5%,到了60至64歲便大幅升至39.8%,退休後身分、職位及工作內容的改變,都可能影響高齡員工繼續工作的意願。

Tencent restructures stake in Bilibili via convertible bond deal to ease market impact

Tencent is restructuring its stake in Bilibili through a US$700 million convertible bond package, subscribing to US$200 million in bonds via its subsidiary Huang River while selling 26.4 million shares for nearly US$400 million in proceeds. Bilibili will use bond proceeds to buy back US$200 million in shares from Tencent and conduct an additional US$100 million public buy-back to mitigate dilution. The move aims to cushion Bilibili's share price against volatility, with shares initially falling 2.7% before rebounding to close up nearly 2% at HK$123.80 in Hong Kong trading.

The Pinglu Canal will be officially opened to navigation on September 16. Guangxi officials answer questions about cargo sources, ship passage, and multimodal transport.

Guangxi officials announced that the Pinglu Canal will be officially opened to navigation on September 16, with a total investment of 72.7 billion yuan, a total length of 134.2 kilometers, and a capacity of 5,000-ton ships. The canal's cargo supply mainly targets southwest Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing and Guangxi. The trial standard for gate crossing fees is 1.0 yuan/gross ton·time, and preferential policies for diversion are implemented. The canal supports the seamless connection of river ships entering the sea and sea-going ships entering the river, and will promote the construction of multi-modal transport systems such as rail-water intermodal transport. It is expected to reduce comprehensive logistics costs by 18%-30%, saving more than 5 billion yuan in transportation costs every year, and providing new momentum for Guangxi's economic development towards the sea.
