　　Limit blood type, choose region, measure height and read palm … … These wonderful recruitment requirements reflect the abnormal employment concept of employers, which hurts people and "enterprises". Professionals remind that recruitment is the window for employers to show their image to the outside world, and every job seeker should be treated sincerely and attentively. Only in this way can we realize the "two-way trip" between employers and job seekers.

　　"Many units require candidates to have a good image and temperament, and some will directly ask about their height. Those who fail to meet the requirements will directly refuse." Recently, Liu Yongna (a pseudonym), a graduate of a university in Beijing, is busy looking for a job. Although she was a little helpless about some recruitment requirements, when Liu Yongna talked with her classmates about her job hunting experience, she found that her experience was nothing. "There are also classmates who will be looked at each other in the interview, ‘ Handprints are blessed ’ The chances of hiring are even greater. "

　　An interview with the Workers Daily reporter found that in the current recruitment market, there are fewer posts and more people, some employers will put forward conditions unrelated to job content and responsibilities, such as "caring" family background and love experience, limiting height, place of origin, genus, etc., infringing on the privacy and equal employment rights of job seekers, which makes people laugh and cry.

　　Family, blood type and region can all be restrictive conditions.

　　"A personnel manager directly asked about the love situation and family background, saying that it was to judge whether it would affect the stability of work because of emotional problems. In contrast, people with good family and stable love are more likely to be hired. " Talking about the interview experience, Liu Zhenglei (pseudonym) is a little angry. "These questions make people feel uncomfortable and infringe on personal privacy, indicating that the company’s employment concept is too narrow."

　　Not only family background and emotional status, but also blood type, region and even whether there is housing, etc., can become restrictive conditions for some units to recruit people, which makes people confused and helpless.

　　In March this year, when an enterprise in Tangshan, Hebei Province recruited an accounting post, it required the candidate to be type A blood, and stressed that "attention must be paid to type A blood", which aroused widespread concern. In the face of questions from netizens, the relevant person in charge of the company responded that this requirement was increased by the staff themselves, because people with type A blood work seriously and are more suitable for this position.

　　There is also a news that "men are required to buy a house for job hunting", which also rushed to the hot search list. When Mr. Zhou, a citizen of Hangzhou, applied for a sales post in an enterprise, the personnel manager said that the company offered a basic salary of 7,000 yuan plus commission, but it had to sign a two-year labor contract and buy a house on the first day of employment. The company paid 100,000 yuan and the rest was paid by itself. This hard requirement made Mr. Zhou laugh and cry.

　　Some enterprises blatantly engage in geographical discrimination. In July 2019, Xiao Yan, a law graduate, submitted her resume to a holiday company in Zhejiang on a job search website, and applied for the positions of "Legal Commissioner" and "Assistant to the Chairman". Soon, Xiaoyan received a reply from the holiday company, saying that she was not suitable for these two positions because the recruiter was biased against Xiaoyan’s native place.

　　In addition to the recruitment process, similar wonderful employment requirements still exist after the workers join the company. Not long ago, the news that a domestic airline controlled the weight of flight attendants attracted attention. The formula for calculating the standard weight of flight attendants proposed by the company is "height (cm)-110= standard weight (kg)", and flight attendants who are overweight by 10% are required to stop flying immediately to reduce weight. Some netizens ridiculed, "Is it because of being overweight and wasting oil? What the service industry wants is the quality of service. "

　　The abnormal concept of employing people hurts people and "enterprises"

　　Pick a region, measure your weight and read your palm … … These varied recruitment requirements have made many job seekers call themselves "wonderful" and even feel "offended".

　　"The realistic causes of Qiqi recruitment are various." Cheng Yang, a lawyer of Beijing Lantai Law Firm, believes that employers occupy an dominant position in the labor market at the moment of great employment pressure. "There are fewer jobs and more people, which makes various fancy recruitment opportunities." On the other hand, enterprise recruitment is often decided and completed by the person in charge of the enterprise and personnel department, and their personal likes and dislikes can often influence the recruitment requirements and results.

　　Chen Weiming (pseudonym), who has many years of experience in personnel work, agrees with this. "Especially for small companies, what kind of people to recruit is often decided by the boss, and there are others ‘ Believe in superstition ’ , pick the zodiac, limited constellation, don’t recruit those and yourself ‘ Collision ’ People. "

　　"Recruitment should be a two-way trip for recruiters and job seekers to combine reality, move in the opposite direction and achieve mutual success. These wonderful recruitment requirements reflect the abnormal employment concept of employers, which hurts people and hurts them ‘ Enterprise ’ It is not only unfair and disrespectful to some job seekers, but also damages the image of employers. " Chen Weiming said.

　　According to the Employment Promotion Law, employers should provide workers with equal employment opportunities and fair employment conditions, and must not discriminate in employment.

　　Shen Jianfeng, a professor at the Law School of the Central University of Finance and Economics, believes that employers set some thresholds unrelated to jobs, such as rejecting some job seekers because of their height, region, appearance, constellation, animal sign, love experience and drinking ability, which is suspected of employment discrimination. "As for how to judge whether the recruitment conditions are based on the inherent requirements of the post, it mainly depends on whether the job must have a certain quality, which needs to be judged from the perspective of objective and normal operators or market players."

　　Intensify the crackdown and punishment.

　　"The employer’s employment autonomy is an objective requirement of the market law and is protected by law, but the exercise of this right must be within the framework of relevant laws and policies, and it cannot be arbitrarily expanded indefinitely." Cheng Yang believes that screening should not be based on the "pre-endowed factors" that are not necessarily related to the inherent requirements of the job, such as the appearance of the worker, the zodiac sign and the place of origin. Otherwise, it will constitute an infringement on the privacy rights, equal employment rights and personality rights of job seekers, and also a challenge to the legal bottom line and public order and good customs.

　　According to the Employment Promotion Law, workers can bring a lawsuit to the people’s court if they violate the provisions of employment discrimination.

　　However, the reporter found that in the face of wonderful recruitment, few job seekers complained or defended their rights. The reason for this is that on the one hand, job seekers are eager to find a job, and they have no time and energy to complain and deal with it, so they can only "eat Huanglian dumb"; On the other hand, most employers do not explicitly tell the specific reasons for not hiring, which increases the difficulty of proof for job seekers to some extent.

　　In this regard, Cheng Yang suggested reducing the burden of proof of workers, improving their willingness to safeguard equal employment rights and interests, and further improving the existing laws, clarifying and refining the identification standards, punishment measures and compensation standards of employment discrimination, so as to increase the illegal cost of employment discrimination by employers.

　　Shen Jianfeng believes that the labor inspection department should set up convenient complaint channels, smooth the path of safeguarding rights, strictly enforce the law at the same time, deal with relevant complaints and reports in a timely manner, and intensify the crackdown on illegal recruitment activities.

　　Cheng Yang reminded that the recruitment work is a window for employers to show their image and unit culture, and should treat every job seeker sincerely and attentively based on the principles of fairness, transparency and standardization. Only in this way can we achieve a win-win situation for employers and job seekers.

There is still about a week before the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Loong, and the booking of New Year’s Eve in the catering industry is becoming more and more popular.

The whole is good! Reservations for New Year’s Eve in many places are better than last year.

Focusing on various provinces and cities, the New Year’s Eve dinner in many places is scheduled to be hot, and the scheduled situation is obviously better than the same period last year.

Beijing: According to the news of the Central Broadcasting Network, on January 29th, Shuo Yang, director of the Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, introduced that the supply and demand of the hotel’s New Year’s Eve reservations were booming this year at the press conference of the cultural activities of the 2024 the Year of the Loong Spring Festival in Beijing. According to current statistics, the number of reservations for New Year’s Eve dinner has increased by 35% year-on-year, and package products such as "New Year’s Eve+Accommodation" have also been welcomed by citizens and tourists.

Shanghai: The Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce revealed to the media that the booking situation of Shanghai New Year’s Eve dinner this year is better than the same period of last year, and the ordering of some old-fashioned catering enterprises has completely recovered to the pre-epidemic level in 2019.

Hangzhou: Hangzhou Daily reported that as of January 30, there were 4,956 "New Year’s Eve" undertaking units in Zhejiang Province, and the number of reservations for "New Year’s Eve" exceeded 90,000 tables, including 2,951 hotels with reservations of more than 10 tables.

Wuhan: According to the statistics of Wuhan Catering Association, the annual dinner reservation is extremely hot this year, especially for family dinner, enterprise annual meeting and chamber of commerce association. At present, nearly 95% of New Year’s Eve dinners are booked at noon and evening, and more than 85% are booked from off-year to the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

The above cities are just the epitome of the popularity of the New Year’s Eve dinner.

According to the data of Meituan, since January, the number of catering merchants who have launched the New Year’s Eve dinner package nationwide has nearly quadrupled, and the order volume of related packages has increased by over 300%. In the advance booking order of restaurant seats on New Year’s Eve, Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Hangzhou and Shenzhen are among the top five in China.

Actively prepare for war! Major catering brands are well prepared.

New Year’s Eve dinner has always been a tough battle for catering people, and the market is recovering. According to Hongcan. com, many catering brands have made adequate preparations in advance for food preparation, staffing and business hours.

In view of the business arrangements during the Spring Festival this year, Haidilao has previously revealed that there will be over 600 Haidilao stores and over 400 delivery sites that will continue to open on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day this year. Since the second day of junior high school, the national sea fishing has fully resumed business. Haidilao Hot Pot New Year’s Eve Reservation and "Happy Banquet" sales are very popular. The New Year’s Eve Reservation is mainly based on family dinners, and there is a great demand for private rooms.

In an interview with Dayang. com, Guangzhou Restaurant also said that based on the group’s unified purchasing advantage, the purchasing department had made a Spring Festival guarantee agreement with suppliers at the end of last year to ensure the stability of purchasing price and quality during the Spring Festival.

In addition, in order to avoid dining congestion and more targeted stocking, "time-divided dining" and "New Year’s Eve set meal" have become the way for many catering businesses to serve New Year’s Eve.

For example, some time-honored restaurants in Guangzhou revealed to Hongcan. com that there will be two rounds of dinner in 2024, ranging from 1.5 hours to 2 hours, but they will basically end at 9: 30 in the evening, and the dinner will be based on "set meals", and some restaurants do not support ordering separately.

Escort! Associations launch initiatives on the New Year’s Eve market.

In order to give consumers a better consumption experience, many cities all over the country have issued "New Year’s Eve Proposal".

On February 1st, Nanjing Tourist Hotel Association issued the Proposal on Doing a Good Job in Spring Festival Service Guarantee, which advocated "clearly marking the price and operating in good faith to ensure the stable, open and transparent price of tourist hotel products".

On January 27th, Beijing Catering Industry Association issued the "Proposal on Further Regulating Beijing New Year’s Eve Market". It is mentioned that price control should be strengthened, the price level should be stabilized, and the sensation of "sky-high" New Year’s Eve should be avoided; No "seasonal price", no bid, no fictional original price, false discount, low price, non-performance of price commitments and other price fraud.

On January 27th, Wuhan Catering Association issued the Proposal for Safe and Civilized Production and Operation of Wuhan Catering Industry during the Spring Festival, advocating catering enterprises to consciously follow the principle of honesty and trustworthiness, clearly mark the price of drinks in menus and banquet recipes, and issue invoices on their own initiative to earnestly fulfill their responsibilities and obligations to consumers.

On January 26th, Ningbo Catering Industry and Cooking Association and the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau initiated an initiative, hoping that all catering units would adhere to honest management, not cheat customers, clearly mark the price of charged services and make reasonable charges; Take the initiative to provide consumers with consumption lists and invoices, so that consumers can clearly understand their consumption.

At the same time, Quzhou City, Taizhou City, Hefei City and other regions have also issued proposals for New Year’s Eve, advocating operators to implement safe and civilized production and operation.

summarize

According to the latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2023, China’s catering revenue was 5,289 billion yuan, up 20.4% year-on-year, hitting a record high.

Looking back on the catering market in 2023, the word "recovery" was carried out throughout the year. As the beginning of the Lunar New Year, the "New Year’s Eve" is also an important observation point for the catering consumption in 2024. As far as the current situation is concerned, the overall New Year’s Eve market is improving, and some restaurants even have the situation that "one table is hard to find".

Some experts in the industry pointed out that the popularity of the New Year’s Eve dinner reflects the increase in consumer confidence and the overall recovery of the catering industry. Under the background of economic recovery, it is expected that the catering industry will continue to pick up in 2024.

The "fireworks" came back, and it also injected a dose of "cardiotonic agent" into major catering businesses. It is worth noting that the Spring Festival has a special season, so catering businesses should not only see the temporary glory, but also have a long-term vision, plan the whole year in advance and jointly meet the challenges of the new year.

Cloned cat

　　On the 19th of this month, the first commercial cloned cat in China was officially announced. This cloned cat named "Garlic" was born on July 21st this year. "Garlic" is also the first cloned cat in China.

　　It is understood that Huang Yu, the owner of the cloned cat "Garlic", chose cloning technology to restart a new life in order to commemorate the dead pet cat. This cloned cat was born on July 21st through natural delivery of surrogate cats.

　　Is the cloned cat "Garlic" the same as the deceased pet cat? Why is the coat color changed? Weekly reporter interviewed experts from Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Xenotransplantation to reveal the story behind cloning.

　　Cloning: the asexual reproduction of an organism

　　In 1963, Haldane, a population geneticist, first put forward the term "cloning" in a speech entitled "Biological Possibility of Human Race in the Next 20,000 Years".

　　In 1997, the news that a sheep named Dolly was born through cloning technology immediately attracted the attention of all over the world. Since then, cloning has become a hot topic for everyone.

　　Clone is a transliteration of the English word clone. Its original meaning refers to the cultivation of plants by asexual propagation or vegetative propagation of seedlings and shoots. With the passage of time, the connotation of cloning has expanded, which generally refers to the asexual reproduction of organisms through somatic cells and the population composed of offspring individuals with the same genotype formed by asexual reproduction; Usually, individuals or populations with exactly the same genes as the original individuals are produced by asexual reproduction using biotechnology.

　　In fact, cloning is no stranger to us. We often use this biological method of asexual reproduction in our daily life. For example, whenever spring blossoms, people who like to plant flowers and grass will do experiments in plant cutting. From a plant, cutting branches and cutting will get many plants with the same genetic material, which is cloning. Asexual reproduction is more common in lower organisms. The division and reproduction of bacteria and planarian is that the parent splits vertically or horizontally into two daughters, and then leaves the parent and becomes an independent individual, which also belongs to cloning.

　　However, does asexual reproduction exist in higher organisms? Scientists once thought that it was impossible to reproduce asexually from a mature somatic cell into a complete animal. Although a somatic cell contains a complete genetic information of an animal, somatic cells have been specialized. Generally speaking, liver cells can only produce liver tissue, and breast cells can only produce breast tissue … … The birth of Dolly sheep completely changed people’s understanding, and it pioneered the cloning of higher animals.

　　"First, the nucleus of a donor cell containing genetic material is transplanted into an egg cell with its nucleus removed, and then the two cells are integrated by micro-current stimulation, and then this new cell is promoted to divide and reproduce and develop into an embryo. When the embryo develops to a certain extent, it is implanted into the uterus of a surrogate animal to make the animal pregnant, and an animal with the same gene as the donor can be born." Li Rongfeng, a researcher at Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Xenotransplantation, introduced the cloning process of higher organisms.

　　She said that cloning technology does not need male-female mating, and does not need the combination of sperm and eggs. It only needs to extract a single cell from an animal, cultivate it into an embryo by artificial methods, and then implant the embryo into a female animal to breed a new individual. This cloned animal cultured with single cells has exactly the same characteristics as the single cell donor and is a "replica" of the single cell donor. Scientists in England and Oregon in the United States have successively cultivated Dolly, a cloned sheep, and Dolly, a cloned monkey. Scientists in China have gradually cultivated cloned cattle, cloned rabbits, cloned pigs and the latest cloned cats.

　　Wonderful cloning technology has shown broad application prospects, such as cultivating excellent livestock and producing experimental animals, producing transgenic animals, producing human embryonic stem cells for cell and tissue replacement therapy, replicating endangered animal species, preserving and spreading animal species resources, and maintaining ecological balance.

　　Four surrogate mothers gave birth to a cloned cat.

　　On January 9 this year, Huang Yu, the owner of the deceased pet cat, formally proposed to Beijing Xinuogu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. to clone "garlic" because he missed it too much.

　　After exploring the pre-experiments such as in vitro maturation culture conditions and parthenogenetic activation conditions of oocytes, the research and development experiment of cloned cats was officially started in August 2018, with a total of 152 experiments. Up to now, one surrogate cat has been successfully delivered, and one surrogate cat has been tested for pregnancy and delivery. In the "Garlic" project, a total of 4 surrogate cats were embryo-transferred. Among them, the surrogate cat CNTR258 was born naturally on July 21st, 2019, 66 days after embryo transfer, and the cloned cat Garlic was successfully produced. Garlic is a very cute British short-haired cat.

　　"Like the general principle of cloned sheep and cloned pigs, we knock out and enucleate the genes of surrogate cats after obtaining the oocytes of surrogate cats, and then implant the cells of cloned cats to form a fused cloned embryo for activation." Wang yining, deputy general manager of Beijing xinuogu biotechnology co., ltd, introduced the birth process of cloned cat "garlic".

　　"Judging from the current level of cloning technology, from the pregnancy of four surrogate cats, a cloned cat was successfully produced, and the success rate was high." Chen Dayuan, a researcher at the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes. Li Rongfeng also said that as a new cloned species, the pregnancy rate of 25% is very high. Take the cloned pigs of Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Heterogeneity Transplantation as an example. At present, one to three transgenic cloned pigs can be obtained after transplanting 100 embryos, and the cloning efficiency is about 3%.

　　Shi Zhensheng, a professor at the College of Animal Medicine of China Agricultural University, said: "The reproductive physiological characteristics of cats are different from those of most animals, because cats are not spontaneous ovulation animals, but one of the few ovulation-inducing animals. Their reproductive cycle is special, and cloning technology is difficult and complicated to operate. This successful breeding of cloned cats is one of the few successful cases in the world, marking a big step for China in the field of cloning. "

　　"For the public, spending 250,000 yuan to clone a cat may not be understandable. But I was very happy when I knew that the cloning price was 250,000 yuan. " Huang Yu, the owner of "Garlic", said that he had searched online, and there was a cloning company in South Korea that cloned cats and dogs at a price of 400,000 to 500,000, which was unacceptable. The domestic cloned cat price of 250,000 yuan is acceptable.

　　It can provide reference for cloning pandas.

　　On August 21st, the cloned cat "Garlic" was full moon. From the photos of garlic published on the Internet, we can find that there is a slight difference between the cloned garlic and the original garlic: there is a small black piece on the chin of the original garlic, but the cloned cat is gone; There are patterns on the left leg of the body, and the pattern of cloned cats grows on the right leg.

　　"There are epigenetic problems in the process of animal cloning. The so-called epigenetic problem is that environmental factors will lead to different gene expressions in organisms, but the genes themselves will not change." Li Rongfeng explained that the genes in the cloned cat’s gene nucleus are the same as the original genes from the cat’s cells, but there will be differences in gene expression during the reprogramming of somatic cells. The genes are inherited from the previous cats, but some genes are not expressed or over-expressed; In the cloned cat "garlic", there is a phenomenon that the coat color related genes are not expressed correctly.

　　Beijing Xinuogu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. also responded: "Cloning ensures that more than 99.9% genes are the same, but the hair gene expression is random. There are patterns on the body, and there is no guarantee of 100% consistency. " At the same time, Beijing Xinuogu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. also pointed out that cloned cats can not guarantee the same living conditions and feeding environment as ontologies, and their personalities may change.

　　So what changes may occur in personality? Li Rongfeng said that there are many acquired factors in the formation of cloned cats’ personalities, just as human twins will have different personalities in different environments; But there are some basic personality-determining genes. If they exist in the nucleus, their personality will not change greatly even if the environment is different.

　　What is the significance of the birth of the cloned cat "Garlic"? Li Rongfeng said that from the economic point of view, it is not as important as meat animals, but it caters to the emotional needs of some people, such as pet owners; It is also of great significance to be able to play a companion role.

　　"There is also a great significance in cloning cats, which are closer to giant pandas than pigs and dogs." Li Rongfeng said that the giant panda is a rare and endangered species and it is difficult to clone. The success of cloning cats can provide reference for the cloning of rare and endangered species such as giant pandas.
