Chapter 221 Bai Lu cried (must read, please subscribe!!)
Early in the morning, when He Bailu came to the company, she noticed that the colleagues around her were talking a lot.
She was a little confused, but did not join in their chat. Instead, she sat down and turned on the computer to prepare for work.
After Xiaoman saw it, she quickly asked: "Sister Lu, are you still working?"
He Bailu was a little puzzled: "Of course I have to work, what's the matter?"
"Don't you know that?" Xiaoman was surprised.
"What's up?"
Other colleagues immediately gossiped to He Bailu: "Our company is going to lay off employees."
Hearing the news of layoffs, He Bailu felt it was a bit fake.
Although the company's revenue in the past six months is indeed not as good as before, it doesn't mean there will be layoffs, right?
Xiaoman added: "The team leader of the personnel department said that there will be a meeting later."
"Okay." He Bailu nodded and said nothing more.
Xiaoman was surprised to see her so calm: "Sister Lu, aren't you worried?"
He Bailu smiled and said: "What's the use of worrying? It's better to face it calmly. What should come will always come."
"Sister Lu is still in a good mood. I'm scared to death now. If I really get fired, I'll be doomed." Xiaoman sighed: "I still have a credit card that I haven't paid back yet. I would have known better.
I won’t be lavish after a month.”
While they were discussing, a message appeared in the work group.
【Everyone comes to the conference room for a meeting now.】
"It's over, it's over, it's true this time."
"Let's go quickly, they might lay off us."
"Should I be laid off? I fish every day."
Soon, all employees gathered in the conference room, waiting for the leaders to arrive.
Not long after, the leaders all walked into the conference room one by one.
At first they were talking and laughing, but when they picked up the microphone, their eyes suddenly changed.
"Okay, okay, we're already in a meeting, and we're still playing on our phones." The manager looked at everyone and complained speechlessly.
All of a sudden, all the employees put away their mobile phones and waited patiently.
The general manager took the microphone and first talked about the recent project, and then started to play the emotional card.
"Our company has always been based on caring for its employees, but after the current financial crisis, our company's orders are getting fewer and fewer, and our revenue has hit a record low. If this continues, our company will be liquidated and bankrupt sooner or later."
"I also know that everyone also likes this company."
When the employees in the audience heard this, they all secretly complained.
"Only ghosts like it."
"ill."
The general manager continued: "But it is very helpless that we have to lay off some employees today so that our company can survive this crisis smoothly. I also hope that if the company recruits again in the future, you will see
If you go to the recruitment information to apply, we will also give priority to old employees."
Then, the secretary handed a list of names to the general manager.
He looked at the list and added: "The name I want to read next will go to the Finance Department today to receive the salary for the month, plus some compensation."
Now, everyone who was originally worried became even more panic-stricken.
"It's over, it's over, I guess it's my share."
"I must be there. The team leader treats you so well that he shouldn't fire you."
"Who knows? That guy is very vindictive. I complained about him last time."
A voice finally appeared to break everyone's noise.
I saw the general manager read the first name: "Liu Tao from the R&D Department."
A fat man in the corner showed a painful expression when he heard his name, and said lip-syncing: "Fuck you."
"Xu Xiaoxiao from the R&D Department."
A pretty girl on the other side also sighed.
"He Qingpeng from the Production Department."
Although He Bailu knew that it was impossible to hide.
But she still felt worried in her heart.
After all, she has been working in this company since graduation.
If I were fired, I wouldn't know what to do for a while.
It was not until the list was read out that He Bailu didn't hear his own name, and he was relieved.
I saw the general manager saying to everyone: "The colleagues whose names have just been read can go to the Finance Department to complete the procedures first. The remaining colleagues will stay here. I have something to tell you."
Suddenly more than ten employees stood up collectively.
He left the meeting room with an unhappy expression on his face.
The remaining employees are like lambs being slaughtered. You look at me and I look at you, at a loss.
After those colleagues left, the general manager explained: "Everyone here, if you are still living here, it means that your daily work ability and level are outstanding, so I also hope that everyone will work together to spend this time together.
A tough time.”
"I will also personally take the lead and take the initiative to cut your salary by 30%. I don't know if you are willing to get through it with the company. I can guarantee that as long as you take the initiative to cut your salary, the company will definitely compensate you when the company recovers."
After saying this, the general manager looked at everyone.
But no one said anything.
At this time, he looked at He Bailu who was closest to him.
I thought that He Bailu was more popular on weekdays, and she was also the good-looking one among her colleagues.
If a beautiful woman speaks for you, other colleagues may follow suit.
So he took the initiative and asked: "Bai Lu, how much are you willing to reduce your salary?"
When He Bailu heard the general manager suddenly mentioning herself, she raised her head, thought for a moment and said, "I live alone, so there is no problem in being self-reliant. If my salary is cut, I will at most just go shopping less."
"However, there are other colleagues in the company. They are older and younger. I think we are just part-time workers. We also have parents. Some colleagues also have families and children. I think the company asked employees to collectively reduce their salaries. This
It’s not very realistic.”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was greatly surprised.
Because this is exactly what they want.
But they dare not say it.
It can be said that I dare to be angry but dare not speak.
Even the general manager didn't expect He Bailu to say these words.
He coughed twice, intending to ease the atmosphere on the court, and then said with a smile: "I am not forcing you to reduce your salary, I am just suggesting that it would be best if you take the initiative to reduce your salary. I also know that some
My colleagues are working very hard, and I hope they can understand the company."
At this time, a male colleague expressed his opinion: "Manager, I have a child and four elderly people. My wife is pregnant and cannot go out to work. I really can't reduce my salary."
Others also gave their own reasons.
For a moment, it seemed that taking the initiative to reduce salary became impossible because of He Bailu's words.
This also made the general manager a little embarrassed.
So he quickly dialed the boss's phone number. After a brief discussion, he said to everyone: "I just pleaded with the boss. The boss agreed not to let everyone reduce their salary, but this quarter's bonus may be..."
When everyone heard that they were not taking the initiative to cut their salaries, they were thinking about whether they should take the bonus or not. At least they would keep their salary.
He Bailu actually knew in her heart that maybe this was the boss's plan B.
Taking the initiative to reduce salaries is plan A. If the general manager can ask everyone to reduce salaries, it will naturally be the best.
If it cannot be reduced, we will file a plan to not pay the bonus.
It’s not a loss at all.
And those employees who have kept their salaries will naturally not cause trouble.
After the meeting, everyone came to praise He Bailu.
Xiaoman even gave a thumbs up and said excitedly: "Sister Lu, you are really my god. If it weren't for you, we would probably have to take a pay cut."
He Bailu smiled and explained: "Actually, I didn't do anything, but I'm very happy to be able to help everyone."
While everyone was chatting, the manager's secretary came over. She whispered to He Bailu: "Bai Lu, the manager asked you to come over."
When He Bailu heard this, he knew what was going to happen, and immediately nodded and stood up.
After He Bailu left, other colleagues also discussed it one after another.
"Could it be that that scumbag manager is going to settle the score later?"
"Probably not. Even if Bai Lu said what she said, the manager probably won't fire her. After all, Bai Lu is the general of the design department."
"I hope so, otherwise we will be exposed."
"Dong dong dong!"
"Please come in."
He Bailu walked into the manager's office.
The manager was still on the phone at this time, so he motioned to He Bailu to sit aside and wait.
He Bailu was not in a hurry, sat down and waited slowly.
Not long after, the manager finished the call and then looked at He Bailu: "How long has Bailu been in our company?"
"Less than two years." He Bailu explained.
"It seems to be growing very fast." The general manager continued: "I think your ability is very outstanding, and you may need a larger platform to show yourself. Our company is going through some difficulties now, and we may not be able to let you perform better.
of talent.”
He Bailu naturally understood what he said.
Then she stood up and said: "If the company is really in difficulty, it's okay to fire me."
After the general manager heard this, he also expressed regret: "Actually, I also know that you are a very good general in the design department, but now there are fewer and fewer orders, and there are not too many employees who need to draw pictures. Then I will communicate with the Finance Department.
I’ll give you a call, you’ll hand it over to the team leader later, and then you can take a rest.”
He Bailu nodded.
Originally, the general manager thought that He Bailu would resign smoothly.
But unexpectedly she said: "But I also hope that the company can compensate me."
"Of course, there is no doubt that we will give you some compensation, about half a month's salary." The manager said immediately.
He Bailu's eyes were very firm. She looked at the manager with a smile and said, "I also understand the law. What I'm talking about is compensation, not compensation."
This look shocked the general manager.
Just like that, He Bailu walked out of the office.
The Finance Department will calculate the N+1 compensation later and give it to her.
When she returned to her post, other colleagues immediately came up to ask.
"What's wrong with Sister Lu?"
"Lulu, I shouldn't be embarrassing you."
He Bailu smiled and shook his head: "No, but the company is indeed in a difficult period now, so the manager decided to let me go to a larger platform."
Everyone understood this sentence.
Liu Tao, who had just completed the formalities, couldn't help but cursed: "Their Zhang Peng is just a petty person. He doesn't need to be fired if he shows it clearly."
"Yes, he is targeting you deliberately. What you said just now made him very embarrassed."
He Bailu still said relaxedly: "It's okay, I just want to relax for a while. You guys go to work quickly and don't worry about me."
The next afternoon, He Bailu carefully handed over various tasks.
She did not follow the example of other fired colleagues and started playing with her mobile phone, waiting for the final time to get off work.
Rather, in order to let my colleagues know more about my plan, I constantly instill my own ideas and concepts.
Finally, the time came at six o'clock.
He Bailu hugged the box, said goodbye to everyone one by one, and left quickly.
Originally she thought she was going back by bus, but she saw Lin Qin waiting downstairs.
Lin Qin looked at her holding a cardboard box and wondered: "What's wrong?"
He Bailu didn't say anything, but after getting in the car, the emotions that had been accumulated for a long time finally burst out.
With red eyes, she choked and said: "I have no job..."
