Chapter 366 Workers Association
Several people looked around in the dormitory, full of curiosity about the interior furnishings.
Two older middle-aged men, with traces of time and weather on their faces, nervously expressed to the security staff that they had never lived in such a nice house and were worried that they would not be able to afford compensation if it was stained.
The security staff comforted them with gentle words and told them that they could just live normally. If they were too lazy to clean, they could turn over the door number outside the dormitory, and then specialized cleaning staff would come in to clean the house.
With such thorough consideration, even Kou Shaoli couldn't help but sigh, even workers in developed countries don't have such good accommodation conditions, right?
About a few years ago, he went to Foxconn and interviewed workers about jumping off buildings. He knew that the dormitories where workers lived were usually narrow and crowded. Those workers came from different regions across the country, and everyone had different living habits.
Smoking, drinking, playing cards, not cleaning up the trash, leaving peelings and paper scraps everywhere, it can definitely be described as messy.
In addition, they are all adults and may not necessarily obey management.
After a tiring day at work, they are too lazy to move. Only a few diligent people who love cleanliness will choose to tidy their beds, but most people will only regard their dormitories as a place to sleep and are unwilling to do so.
Put more effort into cleaning.
No matter how much the dormitory administrator emphasized, or even threatened to deduct wages, the effect was minimal.
I didn’t expect Infinity Company to be so humane and take these things into consideration.
During the conversation, Kou Shaoli also learned that the security guard in his early thirties was called Zhuang Yong, and he had only been with Infinity Company for more than a year after retiring from the army.
When they talked about the issue of whether the company would lose money if every worker had such a high welfare package.
Zhuang Yong slowly moved his eyes from everyone's face and said in a low voice: "Don't forget that we are a socialist country, and workers' rights and interests should be protected. If it is more exploitative than capitalism, wouldn't it be successful?
Got the joke?"
Kou Shaoli was speechless, but he felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
This is the magnanimity a large enterprise should have!
What workers care about is whether their labor has received the respect they deserve, not the company's turnover or how much the output value has increased. To ordinary people, these things are illusory.
If a person cannot share the dividends brought by the company's development, he will naturally not have any sense of identification with the company.
We pay so much attention to grassroots workers.
No wonder there has been a steady stream of talents pouring into infinite companies over the years!
That night, sleeping on the soft big bed in the employee dormitory of Infinite Company, Kou Shaoli, who had always slept well, suffered from insomnia. He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. It was not until dawn that he was lost in the lake and fell asleep.
The next day, after they had a free breakfast in the community cafeteria, under the guidance of security guard Zhuang Yong, they went to the factory where they were going to work. He saw that several roommates in the same dormitory all had dark circles under their eyes, obviously.
I also had so many thoughts that I didn't have a good sleep all night.
On the outskirts of Nanshan District, the electronic manufacturing factory of Infinity Company.
Kou Shaoli received a fitting blue uniform and an exclusive work badge.
But when entering the production workshop, the staff of Infinite Company informed them of some matters.
Before the Dimensity mobile phone was officially released in November, the mobile phone entered the mass production stage. The sensitivity of the metal detector in the factory was enhanced, and no metal objects could pass through, including the steel wire on the chest.
This made Kou Shaoli very regretful, so he could only leave his shooting and recording equipment in the locker for safekeeping.
Before entering the workshop, he passed through another dust removal equipment and his whole body was dusted by electrostatic dust.
He was assigned to the assembly department, which was also the department with the largest number of people. His job was to stick the protective film on the back case of the mobile phone and screw on a screw.
The whole work process is very boring, but the speed of the assembly line is not fast. There is no "death assembly line" that people often criticize in other factories. It can even be described as relaxed.
In the allocation of positions, under any circumstances, every person and every part is in their own precise position. There is an inexplicable "rationality" and it does not appear chaotic at all.

In addition, Kou Shaoli was also surprised to find that there were no line leaders, team leaders and other managers in the factory to keep an eye on their work. There were only a few engineers from Infinite Company who occasionally appeared on the production line to pay attention to possible problems.
question.
He even met an engineer and asked them humbly if they had encountered any discomfort at work, or if there was anything that needed improvement in the assembly line or production process.
Such a low profile made many workers who were accustomed to being shouted at feel flattered.
One morning, after three hours of work, Kou Shaoli had already developed a warm relationship with several workers on the production line.
The main reason is that the work of screwing is very boring, so you have to find something to do, and chatting is the most common way.
Engineers at Infinity Company are not prohibited from chatting while working.
As long as it does not affect the production order, there are basically no restrictions.
He didn't even find a rule about deducting wages in the factory regulations. Even if he was late, as long as there was a legitimate reason and the number of times did not exceed three times a month, it could be ignored.
But one thing that needs special attention is that any discriminatory behavior is prohibited. You will be warned for the first time, expelled for the second time, and will never be hired.
This is the most stringent article in the regulations that Kou Shaoli found.
This may be one of the reasons why the atmosphere in Infinity Company is always so harmonious.
From 12 noon to 2 pm, it is the time for workers to eat and take a lunch break.
Kou Shaoli had lunch and took advantage of this free time to wander around the factory area.
In addition to seeing the production line being rapidly constructed, he also saw a group of children running not far away, rolling and wrestling on the recently laid grass.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After asking, I learned that the company considered that many employees were unable to take care of their children at home due to work, and specially divided a large area for child care.
district.
The corporate culture of Infinite Company has always been loose and humane, and the employees' children are also immersed in this relaxed and happy mood, enjoying the fun of childhood freely.
The company arranged several professionals to take care of these children, and often conducted some interest activities, including natural science, physics experiments, etc. They were in the open air, on the sunny grass, in the embrace of nature, according to their own interests,
Participate in group activities.
Educational and entertaining means that Infinite Company takes special care of the children of these employees' families.
In this boring factory park in a society where economic interests are paramount, these children enjoy a happy childhood that many children of the same age cannot enjoy.
There is no difference in the work in the afternoon. It is still screwing. Infinite Company has divided each position in the workshop, so Kou Shaoli cannot access more information about smartphones.
Think about it, with how rigorous Infinite Company is about its products, how can it be possible for people to easily investigate these data?
Otherwise, those commercial spies would have succeeded long ago.
The only thing he knows is that at Infinite Company, the defective rate of these assembly lines and product parts is very low, almost all within 8%!
This is very amazing in the entire mobile phone industry!
Come to think of it, Infinite Company is already at the forefront of many manufacturers in the field of precision manufacturing. Otherwise, their electronic products would not be sold so cheaply.
He spent the whole afternoon thinking about these questions.
However, when the time just reached five o'clock, an engineer from Infinite Company came to remind them that they were about to get off work and another group of employees would come to continue their work.
Kou Shaoli was shocked. He went to work at nine in the morning and now he gets off work at five in the afternoon?
Are the two hours of lunch break also counted in working hours?
Then isn’t their actual working time in a day only six hours?
Only after repeated confirmations by Kou Shaoli and the engineer did he believe that all this was true.
It turns out that Infinite Company adopts a three-shift system. Workers work in three shifts: morning, noon and night. Under normal circumstances, employees are not allowed to work overtime.
According to the company, if employees work day and night for a long time and cannot see the sun in the morning or the setting sun in the evening, it is easy for them to suffer from psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, etc.
From an economic point of view, there is no time to consume, which is very unreasonable.
Even the top management of Infinite Company has taken the initiative to establish a workers' association and will form a professional team of lawyers to help and protect the interests of workers.
After hearing this, Kou Shaoli could no longer describe all this.
Although Infinite Company is essentially a foreign-funded enterprise, no one really regards them as foreign capital. After all, the founders of the company are all natives of the mainland, and their headquarters are in the mainland.
But most mainland factory owners accumulate wealth by squeezing their labor force.
A large part of the company's profits come from deducting workers' wages in various ways.
This has greatly damaged the majority of workers' recognition of liberalization and even caused many social problems.
In South China, there are certainly more than one foreign-funded enterprises, but due to imperfect labor laws, many foreign-funded enterprises choose to "do as the Romans do in their country" and ignore labor laws and the WTO Agreement in order to pursue higher profits.
Relevant agencies also turned a blind eye.
Only a very small number of foreign-funded enterprises will strictly abide by these rules.
Many people are not used to getting off work so early.
Kou Shaoli walked out of the factory gate and found that there were many vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the road, selling homemade food and daily necessities.
A large market has formed near the entire factory area.
The factory staff did not drive them away, but only asked them not to affect road traffic.
The city management did not crack down on this either.
A sentence suddenly emerged in Kou Shaoli's mind:
The peddlers and pawns, leading carts and selling pulp, are the best embodiment of the market economy.
Isn’t this kind of vitality what we need most?
Next, Kou Shaoli stayed in the Infinite Company's factory for a few more days, during which he applied for a job change, which gave him a better understanding of the entire production process.
After that, he went to the human resources department and applied for his resignation. The application was approved on the same day, and the salary of 600 yuan was paid to his card very quickly. There was no difficulty in the whole process.
So much so that when he handed over his dark blue uniform, he was still a little reluctant to part with it.
In the evening, he returned to the editorial office of the newspaper.
Sitting in front of the fluorescent screen of the computer, Kou Shaoli took a sip of tea from time to time and typed on the keyboard for a while.
"...These days, I always hear words like "treat everyone equally", "get off work as soon as possible" and so on. Suddenly, I feel that I am not in China, but in a fantasy world, that magical company
, is using its own unique way to reverse this riddled market environment..."
"I have no doubt that for such a company, even if someone suddenly deprives them of all their wealth, as long as their founders are still as smart as before and the system is still there."
