February 16th, the first day of work after the Chinese New Year holiday.
Pei Qian silently locked himself in his office and thought about life.
What was going on?!
Wasn't it just a Chinese New Year? So many things could happen!
Where was my back before Chinese New Year? Why was it full of knives!
The most ridiculous thing was that apart from the internet cafe, takeaway, logistics, and other departments that could not be stopped and needed to take turns to rest, all the departments in Tengda that could take a break were on holiday. Basically, they were in a state of shock. Even so, bad news came one after another!
First, the popularity of Ghost General 2 and Bullet Hole 2 suddenly rose. The various figures during the Chinese New Year period soared;
Then, GOG and IOI's new year activities collided. IOI's side shattered the moment they touched it. It was like the sun was setting in the west and it was about to die;
Then, Long Yu Corporation's recommendation resources were all tilted towards Bullet Hole 2, causing IOI's recommendation resources to shrink greatly, making things worse;
In the end, the news conference organized by Shenhua Corporation and Steffer Motors increased the popularity of "Safe and Civilized Driving"!
During the Chinese New Year period, one could see new bad news almost every day.
It was ridiculous!
However, it was a holiday. Pei Qian could not do anything even if he wanted to!
As a result, Pei Qian could only let nature take its course and empty his mind for seven days.
Then, a problem arose.
The Chinese New Year was a good break, and he officially went to the crematorium!
There was only half a month left until settlement at the end of the month. However, the sudden increase in revenue from so many projects put immense pressure on Pei Qian.
Pei Qian might have been prepared to spend money, but he did not expect the task to be so arduous!
However, Pei Qian was experienced. After a brief moment of panic and confusion, he quickly calmed down. A new countermeasure even appeared in his mind.
It turned out that human intelligence was like water in a sponge. As long as you squeezed it, there would always be water.
Under pressure, smart people could always find new breakthroughs.
In the short term, he could use the methods he had thought of before, such as opening a zoo, throwing money at Tengda's headquarters, buying buildings, and organizing promotions in the game.
These methods might have some side effects. For example, GOG would undoubtedly make IOI's situation worse. However, Pei Qian could not care so much anymore.
He would focus on this cycle first. He would think about the next cycle after that …
As for IOI, I'm sorry. I see that you're about to die. I'll just make some last contributions.
Pei Qian had been showing mercy to IOI before because he felt that it could still hold its own. However, now that he saw IOI in this state, he guessed that it would not be of much use to him to keep it. Since that was the case, there was no need to pretend anymore. GOG would continue to burn money.
On top of that, Pei Qian also thought of a more long-term way to spend money and informed the HR department.
Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
"Boss Pei, you were looking for me?"
The person who came was Wu Bin. He might not be the person-in-charge of the HR department now, but he had always been in charge of Tengda's recruitment examinations.
Pei Qian nodded and handed over the new proposal that he had hastily written in the morning.
"Take a look at this new recruitment plan and get it done quickly. I want it done before the end of this month!"
"We'll recruit as many as we can. It doesn't matter if we don't recruit enough. We'll recruit more next time."
Wu Bin reached out and took the proposal. Although the proposal was written very simply, with only a general framework and outline, the core points were clearly written.
"Special recruitment?!"
Wu Bin had seen many things that surprised him while working in Tengda's HR department. However, he was still shocked when he saw this proposal!
Tengda's original recruitment examinations were held in May and November every year, once every half a year.
In this proposal, Boss Pei wanted to add another recruitment examination in February and August. That would make it once every three months, a total of four times a year!
This was not just a simple increase in frequency and number of people. The details of the recruitment examinations had also changed. The most obvious difference was that there were special requirements for the February and August examinations!
There were only three types of people for this examination: the first type was people over 35 years old; the second type was people whose families had given birth within the past two years or had just given birth; the third type was people who had won a labor arbitration case with their previous company.
One had to meet any of these three conditions to be able to sign up for the examination. Of course, it was another matter if they could pass or not.
However, there was one thing that had to be emphasized. That was because this special recruitment examination was staggered from the regular recruitment examination. They were both based on the number of people who were admitted. However, the number of people taking part in this recruitment examination was obviously much lower than the regular recruitment examination. That meant that the probability of being admitted was obviously much higher.
Wu Bin felt a little dumbfounded.
These three types of people were the three types of people that other companies did not want the most!
First, the first type was people over 35 years old.
Many companies had said that they had to 'regularly send talents over 35 years old to society' or 'regularly eliminate employees who have lost their fighting spirit'. This threshold was basically stuck at around 35 years old.
Apart from that, many companies did not dare to say this but actually did it.
There were many reasons. One of the direct reasons was that when an employee renewed his or her contract with the company, he or she signed two consecutive fixed-term labor contracts, or if the employee had worked for the employer for ten consecutive years, he or she would have to sign an open-ended labor contract.
This also meant that unless there were statutory or agreed circumstances to terminate the labor contract, the contract would continue until the employee retired. It was very stable.
Therefore, many companies would see open-ended labor contracts as a 'lifelong burden' and would find ways to avoid it.
Many people graduated in their twenties and started working. When they were around 35 years old, they would have to sign such open-ended labor contracts with the company.
As for the underlying reason, it was more complicated. However, in the end, it was nothing more than that the company preferred young laborers who were in good health, could work overtime, and asked for low wages. They wanted to eliminate these old employees who had heavy family responsibilities, could not bear the pressure of overtime, and had relatively high wages. They wanted to pursue the company's profits as much as possible.
That was also why many people said 'mid-life crisis' and 'programmers would not work past forty years old'. That was because in the eyes of many companies, employees were consumables. After the age of thirty-five, the use value of these consumables would decline sharply. Naturally, they had to find ways to eliminate these people.
Most companies thought so. In addition, when people reached middle age, the family, children, medical, and other expenses would increase sharply. Wouldn't it be a mid-life crisis?
The second type of people were people who had plans to have children in the near future.
There was no need to explain this. Childbirth required maternity leave, which could easily be more than half a year. Taking care of children would divert most of the energy and would inevitably affect work efficiency. Many companies would ask women in their thirties if they had plans to have children in the near future when they were recruiting.
The plan given by Boss Pei was: Men and women were not limited. In other words, men could apply for jobs as long as their spouses planned to have children. At that time, men could also accompany them on maternity leave.
The third type of people were people who had fought labor arbitration cases with the company and won.
This group of people would also be ostracized, because the HR departments of many companies had formed a de facto alliance to better exploit the employees under them.
According to the thinking of a normal person, if an employee was treated unfairly and won a labor arbitration case, wasn't that a matter of course?
However, in the eyes of many companies and the HR of the company, such people were definitely thorns! If you can arbitrate your old employer today, will you arbitrate me tomorrow?
Therefore, many companies formed a tacit understanding between them: if they saw an employee they did not like, they would 'dissuade' them. If you are more tactful and leave obediently without compensation, then everyone can discuss it. I will put in a few good words on the resignation certificate.
However, if you are not tactful and insist on going to labor arbitration for compensation? I'm sorry, you can't control what I write on the resignation certificate.
What's more, as long as all companies tacitly stopped recruiting employees who had labor arbitration experience, then no one would dare to apply for labor arbitration in the future, right?
It was a complete plan!
Therefore, there were more and more companies indiscriminately. As long as they found out that applicants had applied for labor arbitration before, they would not accept them at all.
However, Boss Pei's attitude was completely different. Didn't other companies not want these people? I'm not going to refuse anyone! Not only will I not reject anyone, but I will also specially open a special recruitment for them so that they can easily enter Tengda!
Wu Bin quickly looked through the entire plan and said after some consideration, "Boss Pei, this plan …
"Hmm … this plan is of course good, but I don't think there is a need to specially open an examination, right?
"It would actually be easier to recruit some … uh, less skilled employees.
"I think it would be fine as long as everyone is treated equally and does not discriminate."
Wu Bin's heart was actually a little conflicted.
If it was the HR of other companies, their first consideration would definitely be the interests of the boss and the company's profits. They would only think of ways to dissuade these three types of people to reduce the company's costs.
However, Wu Bin had worked in Tengda for so long that he knew very well what kind of person Boss Pei was and what kind of company Tengda was.
Moreover, Wu Bin also knew that Tengda's current state was the state a company should be in.
Treating these three types of people equally was something a normal company should do.
However, from a practical point of view, it would indeed reduce the company's efficiency and revenue.
Therefore, Wu Bin felt that he could not reject these three types of people. That would go against Tengda's spirit and values. However, there was no need to sacrifice so much of the company's interests, right?
Pei Qian shook his head and chuckled in his heart.
Treat everyone equally? Normal recruitment?
Although these three types of people would also enter Tengda that way, it would be too slow!
How could it be faster than targeted recruitment?
Tengda was developing faster and faster, and its scale was getting bigger and bigger. It could not wait at all!
