December 15th, Wednesday morning …
Wu Bin arrived at Shenhua View with excitement and apprehension in his heart.
He had already received the results on Monday. He had passed the interview!
At that moment, he was practically cheering.
He had never been so happy after working in the workplace for so many years.
According to Tengda's arrangements, new employees could enter at any time after being hired. There was no need to rush if there were any handover procedures that needed to be completed. Tengda would not rush them.
Once the procedures were completed, he could come back to officially start working.
Wu Bin returned to Hengtu Games and told his boss that he wanted to resign. Naturally, he was asked to stay.
There were good reasons for him to stay.
For example: work needed to be handed over, the annual meeting was about to be held and the year-end bonus was about to be distributed, everyone had worked together for so long, there was a relationship, and so on.
However, Wu Bin still left very resolutely without a minute's delay.
The reason was very simple. The earlier he joined the company, the earlier he could get a day's salary from Tengda.
Hengtu Games might have promised a salary increase, but the salary after the increase was far less than Tengda's base salary …
The earlier he joined the company, the earlier he could earn money!
Therefore, Wu Bin did not waste a single minute. He tried his best to be the first batch of new employees.
The only thing he was uncertain about was whether he could get a year-end bonus and annual meeting gift from Tengda.
There would definitely be something in the original company.
However, Wu Bin also knew that even if there was a year-end bonus and annual meeting gift from Hengtu Games, it would definitely not be very generous.
As for the year-end bonus, it would symbolically be more than a month's salary.
As for the annual meeting gift, it would at most be a Sunshine Award. A two to three hundred yuan red packet would be very good.
Of course, this little temptation was not enough to make Wu Bin stay.
Wu Bin himself was also feeling emotional. As expected, whether it was easy to poach people or not had little to do with HR. The key was still how the company treated them.
There was no need for HR to poach people with Tengda's treatment. As long as these benefits were slightly revealed, job seekers would naturally flock to them like ducks.
On the other hand, Hengtu Games spent so much effort talking. In the end, the other party asked, "Do you poach people at a reduced salary?" That day could not continue the conversation.
Today, Wu Bin specially wore his most expensive suit and walked into Shenhua View with his head held high. Then, he took the elevator to the 16th floor.
At the moment, Tengda's business was already quite big.
Fei Huang Workspace, Upwind Logistics, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Otto Technologies, Dream Realization Ventures, and other industries were not located in Shenhua View. They had found their own office buildings.
At the moment, only Tengda's gaming department was in Shenhua View. Zhongdian Chinese Network and TPDb were on the 17th and 18th floors respectively.
However, Tengda did not have enough office space after this recruitment.
In the past, Tengda's gaming department, administrative department, finance department, and other departments were all squeezed on the 17th floor. At first, this space was very enough. However, as the number of members in the gaming department increased, the workstations were all occupied.
There were often some employees who were "promoted", but the speed was too slow. It was like trying to put out a cart of firewood with a cup of water.
Therefore, after the centralized recruitment, the original office space was no longer enough, and they had to rent another floor.
Thus, Tengda rented the 16th floor downstairs and arranged it according to the same layout, just to welcome the arrival of the new employees.
However, if he wanted to expand further, it would be a little strenuous.
That was because Shenhua View's rent was expensive, but it was a high-end office building after all. There were not that many empty office spaces.
If he wanted to expand in the future, he would either have to rent floors that were further apart or leave this place and move to a bigger place, such as a standalone office building.
However, that was a matter for the future. He could start looking for a suitable location now. In the short term, these workstations should be enough.
After this, Tengda's gaming department, administrative department, finance department, and other departments were separated.
The gaming department remained on the 17th floor while the administrative, finance, legal, and other departments were moved to the 16th floor.
Relatively speaking, the 16th floor was more spacious because there were fewer people.
Pei Qian specially set up a large conference room on this floor and moved his own office over.
Large televisions and projectors were installed in the office and conference room for easier presentation and reporting.
Naturally, Tang Yishu was also arranged to be on this floor. That way, the various departments would more or less be affected when they came to report.
However, Pei Qian also considered that if Tang Yishu stayed on the 16th floor all year round, there would be fewer bugs in Tengda's gaming department on the 17th floor.
Therefore, Pei Qian was prepared to pick a few stray cats that no one adopted from the pet hospital and distribute them evenly on the 16th, 17th, and 18th floors.
With so many pets, he could also arrange for some pet supplies such as large cat trees and the like to spend more money.
That way, Tang Yishu could often clean feces upstairs and downstairs and cover the halo effect on all three floors.
Moreover, Pei Qian left the gaming department on the 17th floor and moved his office to the 16th floor. That was also a hint to the employees of the gaming team: the boss is not on this floor. Hurry up and slack!
…
Wu Bin's workstation was on the 16th floor.
Wu Bin was a little nervous when he found out that Boss Pei's office was also on this floor.
He could not be careless since he was working under the boss's nose.
Until now, Tengda was still a mystery to Wu Bin. He could not figure it out at all.
All the information Wu Bin knew about Tengda came from hearsay. What's more, there were many very outrageous claims. The credibility was not very high.
He did not learn much from the written test and interview.
However, Wu Bin guessed that Tengda should pay more attention to spiritual construction.
Otherwise, why would there be a 'Tengda Spirit compatibility test'?
Although Wu Bin had successfully passed the written test and interview and officially joined the company, he still had to go through three Tengda Spirit compatibility tests within a month according to the process.
He could only become an official employee if he passed the test. It would be a pity if he did not pass.
Therefore, Wu Bin was mentally prepared in advance. In his first month in Tengda, he had to work hard and win the recognition of his colleagues and Boss Pei. He also had to understand what the so-called Tengda spirit was.
After coming to the front desk and explaining his purpose, the beautiful receptionist handed Wu Bin a new employee handbook and then led him to the HR department to report to Hao Yun.
After welcoming Wu Bin, Hao Yun led him to his workstation. Then, the staff of the administrative team came over to open the intranet for him and arrange a TPDb website account for him.
During this period, Wu Bin sat on the office chair and began to refurbish the employee handbook, trying to find some information related to the 'Tengda spirit'.
This new employee handbook was customized by the administrative department some time ago. It had also been reviewed by Boss Pei.
Originally, there was no such thing when new employees joined the company. That was because Tengda was relatively small at that time, and the entry process was relatively simple. There was no need for such fancy things.
However, things were different now. New employees were joining in batches, and there were many things to take note of. Writing in the new employee handbook in advance would help these new employees integrate into the work environment faster.
Wu Bin flipped through the new employee handbook and found that it was basically divided into a few major categories, describing the things to take note of after entering the company.
The first major category was the lifestyle category, which mainly included advice on daily life, food, housing, and transportation.
For example, the company would order Fish-Catching Take-Out for daily meals. There were comments on the dishes inside. In short, they were all quite delicious, and the key was to choose according to personal taste.
There were subsidies for rental, daily travel, and other aspects. The specific amount of subsidies was very high. The specific amount, subsidy method, reimbursement process, and so on were all written very clearly.
Looking at the pictures of the work meals in the handbook, Wu Bin was drooling.
"Such a good meal at work, and it's all free?"
"Taxis are all reimbursed, and there is a mandatory monthly reimbursement limit? I can use this money to buy anything related to work?
"There is also a gym subsidy, and private training classes are arranged for every employee???
"This … this benefit is too good …"
Wu Bin's heart skipped a beat as he quickly flipped down.
The second major category was the entertainment category, which mainly included various rest and entertainment facilities in the company.
For example, there were all kinds of coffee drinks in the water bar that could be taken at will. There were all kinds of snacks in the snacks area. The fitness equipment and entertainment room could also be used at will without any restrictions.
Wu Bin could not help but feel emotional. "It might be a face-saving project, but it is not easy to do it so well and so attentively."
Wu Bin had always felt that the company's gym and entertainment room was nothing more than a means to attract employees to work overtime.
To put it bluntly, it was better to go out and look better.
"Our company has prepared a gym and entertainment room for employees." Such bluff was very suitable to deceive newcomers who had just joined the company and did not know anything.
However, most companies' gyms and entertainment rooms were not allowed to be used during normal working hours. They could only be used after work.
Wouldn't it be a disguised form of tricking employees to work overtime if they used it after work?
What's more, when it was time to work overtime, everyone in the project team would be buried in work. Who would have the cheek to run to the entertainment room to play games?
Therefore, most companies only prepared such things for the sake of appearances. The symbolic meaning was greater than the actual value.
Wu Bin continued to flip to the next page.
This page was a note about the previous entry.
Wu Bin originally thought that there would be a note like 'please do not go to the entertainment room during working hours', but that was not the case at all!
The note clearly stated: 'Every employee must use the fitness facilities or entertainment room for a total of four hours a week. Strive to achieve a balance between work and rest.'
'Note: please do not use the gym or entertainment room during non-working hours. Please go home immediately after work.'
Wu Bin felt a little dizzy.
It was roughly the same as he had expected, but there was a 'not' in front of the words' working hours'.
The meaning was completely different!
Other companies would say 'do not use the gym and entertainment room during working hours', but Tengda was the complete opposite!
Does that mean I can only go out to play during working hours????
Wu Bin almost thought that the new employee handbook had been printed wrongly. However, on further thought, there should not be such a low-level mistake, right?
He was a little confused.
With confusion, he continued to read.
The third category was the work category.
Other companies often put this category at the front, but Tengda was the opposite. It was placed at the back, only occupying the last few pages of the employee handbook, and the description was quite simple.
The lifestyle category at the front not only had beautiful pictures of various work meals, but it also introduced the taste of each dish in detail. It could not be more detailed.
The entertainment category was the same. It even introduced the various games in the entertainment room with simple comments.
However, the style completely changed when it came to the work category.
There were only a few simple things to take note of.
"In principle, overtime is prohibited."
"If you have to work overtime due to work needs, you have to report to the department head. The department head will apply for overtime quota and can only work overtime after approval."
"If you feel stressed at work, report to the department head immediately. The department head will recruit new employees as soon as possible to solve the problem."
"It is strictly prohibited to contact colleagues for work reasons during non-working hours because it will cause trouble to colleagues."
And so on.
Wu Bin felt a headache coming on.
These few contents basically pointed to the same point. Repeatedly ordered not to work overtime!
On the other hand, the content that Wu Bin was looking forward to did not appear at all!
For example, the work arranged by the leader must be completed on time, colleagues must not push the blame to each other …
There were no such sayings of this sort!
Wu Bin thought that it was still at the back, but after flipping another page, the new employee handbook came to an end!
Where was the Tengda spirit that he had been looking forward to?
Where were the 100 employee rules that he had been looking forward to?
There was nothing at all!
Closing the handbook, Wu Bin's mind was only filled with the delicious food and various benefits. He remembered nothing else.
Wu Bin was a little confused. He vaguely felt that something was wrong somewhere …
