Chapter 28 Layoffs
I went to various R&D teams to find out where the money I invested was spent. The number of mice I saw in each laboratory was more than the researchers I saw.
Because the genes are relatively close to humans, the mice are also bad. In addition, they can also see experimental animals such as chickens, guinea pigs, pigs, rabbits, etc. After spending two or three hours walking around, they came to the rest area of the door hall to sit down. Executive Anthony finally had time to tell Han Xuan about the layoffs.
"As expected, there is no good thing every time I see you. It's trouble for anyone to get a hot potato such as large-scale layoffs. The company has started to get messed up. What does the state say?"
Before carrying out large-scale layoffs, you usually need to communicate with the mayor of the union and state, otherwise rash layoffs may lead to big trouble. Don’t be polite at work, once the news of your layoffs is revealed, those people will be very good at making trouble, so Han Xuan asked Anthony this.
Executive Anthony smiled and said, "I have no choice but to find you. Only you can make a decision on such a thing. Of course, the union and the state are not willing, but we have to consider our own interests.
The human resources department’s suggestion is that it is best to do the layoffs earlier this time, otherwise it means that a large amount of money will be spent every month, about 10 million, which will be wasted on unnecessary employees. Those positions no longer require manpower to operate, and now they are doing nothing every day.
Although they did help in the early stages, our company's rewards have always been very high and the benefits are the best. Only by working hard can we get the reward. This is the rule. In addition, severance payments and so on, we don't have to consider sorry for them.
Take the assembled painters in the Kirin department of Han’s Automobile Group for example. As far as I know, they only need to work for about two hours a day, and the rest is done by automated machines. The automatic paint production line has been put into use for more than a year."
"Why, are you worried that I am soft-hearted and taking care of those old employees with long-term work experience and deliberately reminding me?" Han Xuan joked.
Having said that, it has to be said that Executive Anthony knows his personality very well. If he doesn't mention these, based on Han Xuan's usual personality, he may be reluctant to move forward with the layoff plan. Executive Anthony means that he has been in vain for a long time and is worthy of them. Thinking about this, it is indeed easier for him to accept it.
The relationship is so good that you don’t need to care about anything else, and the executive Anthony didn’t refute, nodding and told: “It’s almost that. You’re smart, you’re just not as cruel as other wealthy people on Wall Street, which makes you make a lot of money less.
But it is precisely because of the feelings that the company's cohesion is so strong and recognized by most employees, including me.
In the latest executive satisfaction survey, you got the first place, and I was the third place. Old Charlie manages a lot of people in the Hope Group, so it surpassed me. You must know that I voted for your name at that time.
I have interviewed the management teams with poor satisfaction and high-level levels one by one, and I have punished them separately, hoping that they can correct them in the future. Otherwise, according to the company's regulations, they will be required to resign or adjust their jobs."
"Thanks."
I don’t know if Han Xuan was thanking him for voting for him or praising him for complimenting himself, or maybe both were there. Han Xuan changed into a comfortable position and sat down, crossed his legs and continued, "I will be even more embarrassed to fire them after hearing you praise me like this.
What do you think of this? Let’s change to a more gentle way to handle the employees who can be digested internally, so that those people can change jobs, provided they are willing to do so. The group has so many subsidiaries and can always find suitable jobs and try to reduce the number of layoffs by half.
In addition, the company originally implemented a point elimination system, and the terms on forcibly termination of the contract relationship were written in the employment contract as early as when they joined the company. This provision has been implemented for so long, and there are layoffs every quarter. Most of the hard-working employees can accept it. The people in society have accepted it long ago. Even if they lay off employees, they won’t say much, after all, they are not working hard enough.
I suggest that in the next year, small-scale layoffs will be made every month, and the points elimination system will be adopted, including the working duration in the scoring system. In the past, in order to avoid vicious competition among employees, this item was not included. Now it can be adopted. I think that in this way, many employees who take advantage of the situation will be quickly cleared out.
This can minimize the impact of layoffs. If you need to pay them a few more months of compensation for this and avoid causing a sensation in layoffs, I think it is completely acceptable.
A company that likes to lay off employees will affect our continued recruitment of talents. Now, the younger generation of post-80s who are about the same age as me are emerging in large numbers, and their acceptance ability is stronger. I suggest recruiting them more to maintain the vitality of the company.
It has been established for a few years, but I think some companies are already dead, such as WOW, which is better to replace some young people with management. Look at the newly launched clothing of chat software, which is the dress classification of virtual characters' homepage. I have to say that those clothing props are really ugly, and I don't even want to buy them, let alone those children born in the 1990s.
It is important to ensure the vitality of the company, especially in some departments, where the thinking level has clearly created a generation gap, such as art and design, pay more attention to the aspects of replacement and renewal."
Executive Anthony listened carefully, nodded and wrote down the matter in secret, and continued, "I understand what you mean. After going back, I will greet the human resources department and hold a meeting to discuss the selection of young management.
Your idea is great. Batch layoffs can largely avoid resistance. It is time for the company to carry out a round of reshuffle. I think the union will be more acceptable. Before that, we have always had a good relationship with the union and should understand our company's approach.
It just so happens that the economy is rising. Even if a large part of the factories are moving to East Asia, South America, Central Asia and other regions, it should not be difficult for these employees with rich work experience to find jobs and have been helping these people pay unemployment insurance. In a short period of time, they will not be short of funds, so they are not afraid of going to a dead end."
"Well, those who are really difficult, such as having many children at home, having disabled people at home, and those whose children go to college can delay or cancel layoffs, and... the dismissal fee will be given one month.
I have been working for several months this year, and the bonus is still calculated, but it is lower. I must think carefully when recruiting people in the future. Technology will also affect work on a large scale. There will be more and more jobs replaced by machines. Before recruiting, we must consider it from a long-term perspective..."
After stretching, Han Xuan saw Fat Ding following Anya, waved his hand and asked them to come and sit...
