March 28th, Monday …
Last weekend, it was said that Boss Li and the others had finalized the project plan near Thriller Hostel. They would start construction soon.
Of course, they were not rebuilding these hotels and restaurants from scratch. They were renovated using the original buildings in the old industrial zone. If they worked overtime, they should be able to complete it at the same time as the Thriller Hostel. Even if some of the projects were delayed, it would not be too long.
As long as the money was in place, the construction speed in China had always been satisfactory.
Pei Qian was a little surprised that the plan came out so quickly, but he still maintained his composure.
Ai, I can't stop them. I'll just let nature take its course.
It was Monday. Pei Qian had planned to go straight to Fei Huang Workspace to announce the 'shock treatment plan' to them. However, Hao Yun from the HR department said that she had something to report. Thus, Pei Qian went to the headquarters after lunch.
Pei Qian was a little puzzled because the HR department should not have much work to do recently.
Could it be that Hao Yun had nothing better to do, so she forcefully added scenes for him out of nothing?
If that was the case, it seemed like a very bad sign. Pei Qian had to consider changing the person-in-charge of the HR department.
Hao Yun knocked on the door and entered.
"Boss Pei, I'm here to report on the salary adjustment plan submitted by the various departments."
Pei Qian was even more confused. "Salary adjustment plan?"
What did that mean?
Was Tengda's treatment not good enough?
Could it be that … I still have room to improve?
Pei Qian suddenly became interested.
Hao Yun said, "It's like this, Boss Pei. With the purpose of 'consolidating the foundation', the various departments have conducted internal investigations. Among them, some departments have realized that there is an unreasonable phenomenon of employees' salary inversion in the departments.
"After our research, the HR department felt that this phenomenon seems to be common in various departments. Thus, we used Friday afternoon and this morning to make a statistics and report to you."
Pei Qian understood a little, but he was still confused.
He knew what salary inversion meant.
Salary inversion generally meant that new employees were paid more than old employees, frontline employees were paid more than management, and subordinates were paid more than supervisors.
This phenomenon existed in many companies. For example, an old employee had been working for two years at the market price of 3,000 yuan per month. Even if there was a salary increase during the two years, it would not be much. However, after two years, the market price would become 4,500 yuan per month. The salary of an inexperienced newcomer would be higher than that of an old employee. This resulted in a pay gap.
Salary inversion was a very common phenomenon, because most companies could not adjust the salary of all their employees according to the current market price every year. They could not bear to part with the cost.
It was also because of this that most companies prohibited employees from discussing salary with each other, because it would expose the phenomenon of salary inversion, causing a large number of old employees to be dissatisfied or leave.
If the supervisor found out that he worked a lot, but his salary was lower than the newcomers under him, it was impossible for his mentality to not collapse.
On the other hand, Tengda was a company that had been established for more than a year. It had recruited several batches of employees. Although it often increased everyone's salary, everyone's position, qualifications, abilities, and other factors were different. There were still some cases of salary inversion.
Of course, because Tengda often increased salaries and other benefits were very high relative to salary, the situation of salary inversion was far better than in other companies.
However, Hao Yun felt that in accordance with the requirements of the 'cornerstone spirit', salary inversion was ultimately a hidden danger. Although other companies did not care about it and it was indeed fine to ignore it, it was better to report it to Boss Pei and let him decide.
Pei Qian took the information from Hao Yun's hands. The string of numbers made him dizzy.
After pretending to look at it, Pei Qian said, "In other words, the basic salary of some new employees is higher than that of old employees. Is that what you mean?"
Hao Yun thought about it and said, "That's what I mean, but the actual situation is more complicated than that.
"Simply put, for example, the old employees joined half a year earlier than the new employees. Their actual working ability and experience are obviously higher than the new employees, but their actual basic salary is only 200 yuan higher. In fact, this is also a disguised form of salary inversion."
Pei Qian's eyes lit up.
Well done. I was just worried that I could not continue to increase the employees' salaries!
"This problem is easy to solve.
"Increase the salary!
"Every once in a while, screen the new employees according to the highest salary standard, and pay all the old employees their salaries!"
Hao Yun was stunned. "Er, Boss Pei, of course, that's the best way to deal with it. However, I have to remind you that such a general increase would be fine when there are fewer employees. In the future, when there are more and more employees, each increase would be more and more. It might even be beyond your imagination at this time …
"Other companies would basically … try to save money in this area. Every industry does this."
More and more?
That would be great!
Pei Qian was overjoyed as if he had picked up money. He said decisively, "Let's do that. Increase it immediately!
"No matter how many old employees there are, no matter how much they are short of money, increase it all!"
Hao Yun confirmed again. "All?"
She knew very well that Boss Pei did not mean to make everyone's salary the same. He meant to eliminate the situation of salary inversion.
Pei Qian did not hesitate. "Yes, increase it all! There should still be time. From this month onwards, ask the finance department to redo the salary schedule. "
Hao Yun nodded emotionally. "Yes, I understand. I'll inform the finance department immediately."
Although Hao Yun had vaguely expected such an outcome before reporting, Boss Pei's urgent expression still made her feel Boss Pei's care for all the old employees.
Hao Yun was just about to turn and leave when Boss Pei called her again.
"Wait a minute.
"At the beginning, you said that with the aim of 'solidifying the foundation', the various departments conducted internal investigations and discovered the phenomenon of salary inversion … why do we need to solidify the foundation?"
Pei Qian suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the first part of Hao Yun's report.
Hao Yun smiled and said, "Boss Pei, didn't you give out the Cornerstone Award last Friday, hinting to the various departments to solidify the foundation? That's why the various departments started their own investigations. However, apart from the salary inversion, they did not find any serious problems. "
Pei Qian blinked, slightly confused.
Does it have something to do with me again?
I gave out the Cornerstone Award to hint to everyone to solidify the foundation?
That's not what I meant.
Hmm … but from the results, it seemed like different routes led to the same destination.
They did not find any other problems except for the small problem of salary inversion. What's more, they made me spend more money.
That's not bad!
Pei Qian did not find any other problems. He nodded and said, "Alright, go and inform the finance department."
…
After Hao Yun left, Pei Qian packed his things and rushed to Fei Huang Workspace.
Tomorrow is Beautiful had stopped screening, and he had already signed the contract with Aili Island. Pei Qian had enough.
He had to take advantage of this group of people to "shock" them before they caused any more trouble!
The System was already very kind to allow one department to go into shock every cycle. Pei Qian felt that he had to make good use of this opportunity.
When he arrived at Fei Huang Workspace, Pei Qian realized that only a small portion of the employees were surfing the web and watching dramas.
A large portion of the employees were still working!
Boss Pei saw this and felt his heart ache.
Look, look. Was this something humans would do?
The project had been completed, and the new project had not started. Why were people still working so hard?
It looked like there was a huge problem with Fei Huang Workspace. The wrong mindset of working hard was beyond cure. He had to go into shock immediately to cure it!
Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce were discussing something on their computer screens. When they saw Boss Pei, they quickly stood up.
"Boss Pei, why are you here?"
Pei Qian decided not to beat around the bush. He said directly, "There's nothing else. I'm here to announce a new system.
"Shock plan!
"A lot of profits means a lot of effort. The more we earn, the more we have to spend.
"On the surface, earning money is a good thing. However, there are hidden dangers. It not only drains your energy and health, but it also drains your inspiration and talent!
"Therefore, we have to arrange 'shock treatment' for departments that are seriously overdrawn. For the next four months, all employees in Fei Huang Workspace will receive their salaries and benefits as usual. However, they will not be allowed to do any work.
"During the entire treatment period, they will recover their energy, health, inspiration, and talent.
"Fei Huang Workspace's shock period will start next month for four months. In other words, it will be from March 1st to June 30th."
Everyone present was stunned.
What did this mean? The entire department was given four months of paid leave?
Other companies gave paid leave to individuals to ensure that their work could be handed over to their colleagues after the leave.
But when it came to us, the entire department went on vacation?
What's more, it was clearly a paid leave. Why did Boss Pei sound so serious and even gritted his teeth?
It did not feel like he was talking about paid leave. Instead, it felt like he was announcing an exile …
Huang Sibo was stunned. "But Boss Pei, we can't do that. Even if the workspace does not work on new projects, someone has to be responsible for the daily work. We can't completely stop working.
"This shock treatment can't become a sudden death treatment, right …?"
Pei Qian thought about it for five seconds. "How about this? Arrange for shifts to ensure that the workspace can maintain a minimum of normal operations.
"Divide the workspace staff into groups. Each group will be responsible for one month. Everyone will be guaranteed to be in 'shock' for four months. However, because of the shifts, the entire shock treatment period will be extended to five months, which is July 31st."
Huang Sibo hesitated. "But there's still …"
Pei Qian's expression darkened. "No buts. Overcome your own difficulties. You have to enter a state of shock before March 1st!"
Huang Sibo looked at Zhu Xiaoce — both of them had a reluctant look on their faces.
However, they finally nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. We'll make the arrangements now."
Pei Qian revealed a satisfied smile. "Very good. Just maintain normal operations during the shock period. Don't start any new projects. Don't worry about not being able to create value for the company. You've done enough! "
Huang Sibo was a little touched. "Alright, Boss Pei! However, don't worry. Fei Huang Workspace will continue to create value for the company even if we take a leave! "
Pei Qian's smile froze on his face. "?"
Zhu Xiaoce turned to the side, revealing the computer screen that both of them had been surrounding. "Boss Pei, overseas distribution companies have taken a liking to Tomorrow is Beautiful. They're going to screen it overseas!"
