After the pyrite incident, the province and city held meetings and decided that the subsequent corporate reforms should be slower.
Disband workers in small groups and talk one by one.
If there is any trouble, just suspend the job without pay until things are figured out before we can talk about it.
You cannot anger all workers at once.
The pyrite mine was still in the mountainous area, and Li Wenjun came to appease and maintain order. The riot was quickly quelled, and there were no subsequent problems.
If a large number of laid-off workers rioted in the city, the consequences would be disastrous.
After the meeting, several large factories, tungsten mines, and phosphate mines in the city began to quietly carry out this work.
Few people outside know it, but the number of people wandering around the city has obviously increased.
The factory was eerily quiet.
The recruitment demand released by factories in the job market is very small.
Those who moved bricks, swept the streets, or babysat were jobs that were previously regarded as jobs done by lower-class people. Now it is no longer only rural people who are willing to do them. When a demand is released, many laid-off workers compete for it.
Because I can’t let go of this air, I will be hungry tomorrow.
More and more people are going to the garbage dump of the vegetable market to dig through rotten vegetable leaves and bring them back for cooking.
This world is abandoning some people in a gentle but cruel way.
"Wenjun Industrial" is like the only light in the darkness, attracting people to come close and keep warm.
Even the children noticed something strange and always asked Li Wenjun and Tao Guangming: "Dad, who are those people wandering around the street outside the outer wall?"
Li Wenjun and the others could only answer: "We came to visit."
Li Wenjun told HR that as long as he came for an interview, he would be responsible for two days' worth of food.
After registering for the interview, the Human Resources Department will issue four meal tickets.
Every day at noon and afternoon, these people can come to the gate to receive boxed meals with their meal tickets.
There are no plastic lunch boxes at this time, and they are all packed in stainless steel bowls.
Some people even took the stainless steel bowls and sold them for money after finishing their meal, refusing to return them.
When counting the stainless steel pots every day, Qiu Yan would sigh: "Oh, these people really deserve to live in a miserable life. They have had four meals in vain. It's okay not to be grateful, but they still want to take advantage."
Wenjun Industrial can afford to pay, but it makes people angry just thinking about it.
The Human Resources Department has to interview hundreds of people every day. It is really tiring, so it can only close the door after get off work regardless of how many people are queuing outside.
Otherwise they will never have a chance to rest.
Some people were unable to catch up with the recruitment of the day, had nowhere to go, and were not willing to spend money to stay in a hotel, so they slept on the grass by the river or on benches in the leisure area.
When night falls, they see "Wenjun Industrial" with lights on everywhere and it looks prosperous, jealousy and hatred will arise in their hearts, and they will want to do something to balance their psychology.
Most people just think about it. But there are also people with evil intentions who will put it into practice.
However, these parks were guarded like iron barrels, and these people's efforts were in vain in the end.
The surveillance room in the security room recorded these people and reported them to Li Wenjun and Tao Guangming.
Tao Guangming frowned when he heard this: "These people are really wolf-hearted and want to repay kindness with hatred. Call the police and arrest them all."
Li Wenjun shook his head gently: "When people are forced into desperate situations, they will do things that go against their nature. There is no need to call the police, otherwise it will be more likely to trigger extreme incidents. But since these people have exceeded the bottom line, we can no longer use the security room.
It must be recorded and reported to human resources to directly disqualify these people from the interview.”
Tao Guangming asked: "How long will this situation last?"
Li Wenjun said: "It's not the most difficult time yet."
It will take at least eight years before the impact of this wave of layoffs will slowly subside.
No matter how helpless these people are and how fiercely they resist, time will smooth out the traces left by their efforts like big waves washing against the beach.
-----
When Qiu Yan was leading people to distribute meals that day, she discovered that a female comrade had been lingering behind but did not come up to receive the meal.
She remembered that this lesbian was not scheduled for the interview yesterday and received four meal tickets.
Logically speaking, she can still get two more meals today.
The reason why she remembered it so clearly was because this lesbian was one of the few people who washed the dishes and returned them after eating.
Qiu Yan thought: Are you embarrassed to come up and queue up?
She silently left a portion and waited until everyone in line had left before waving to the lesbian: "Here, get the lunch box."
The lesbian's eyes were red, she grabbed her clothes and said awkwardly: "My meal ticket was taken away last night. Logically speaking, I can't come to collect it, but I'm really hungry."
Only then did Qiu Yan see clearly that there were bruises around her eye sockets and the corners of her mouth were cut. It looked like she had just been beaten.
She was so angry: "It's too much, it's too much. It's not easy for everyone, so why do you still bully people who are weaker than you?"
She handed the meal to the other person: "You can eat it. Anyway, the cafeteria has made a few more portions. I still have this right."
The lesbian took the food and bowed while wiping her tears: "Thank you. Thank you."
Although the lesbian finally got an interview for the cleaning job in the cafeteria, Qiu Yan still got angrier the more she thought about it.
This time, she paid attention and discovered it.
They don't know how many more people were robbed, but they don't know.
Those people had been robbed of their meal tickets and had nowhere to complain, and were afraid of retaliation, so they had no choice but to forget it.
From this day on, personnel will write the word "female" on the corner of the meal tickets issued to lesbians.
When meals are distributed, if a gay man comes with such a meal ticket, he will not receive the meal.
Although this kind of thing cannot be completely eliminated, at least gay men will not steal the meal tickets of lesbian women, because they will not be able to use them.
Qiu Yan also started to pay attention to see if anyone came every day.
As a result, she discovered that there really was such a person, and there was more than one, but a group of seven or eight.
These seven or eight people were very smart and knew that coming more often would arouse suspicion.
So every time they come, they will not line up together, but will be dispersed among other people, and one person will change lines to avoid being recognized by the person distributing meals.
The leader was very tall, his face was full of flesh, and he looked a bit fierce.
Today the man came again with a meal ticket.
Qiu Yan said: "This is the fifth day you have come to receive meals. Each of us was only given meal tickets for two days. Where did the extra meal tickets come from?"
The man's eyes widened: "I have meal tickets. You have to give me meals. Why do you care so much?!"
Qiu Yan shook her head: "If you don't tell me clearly where this meal ticket comes from, I won't give it to you. Because if you steal someone else's meal ticket, they will go hungry."
The man was exposed and his face turned red: "What the hell are you talking about? Do you have any evidence? If you don't want to give it, just say so! No need to talk so much nonsense."
