Soon, the Finance Department and the Administration Department jointly issued an announcement, arranging personnel from each department to go to the Finance Department in order to settle the arrears of wages, and the company paid all the arrears of wages at once.
The news spread quickly, and everyone was excited. Several months' salary was paid out at once, which finally stopped the famine.
The Security Department was the first to go to the Finance Department to collect back wages. In one morning, 126 people had already signed and collected the back wages.
The four major departments arranged in the afternoon are the administrative department, the agency department, the TV series production department, and the program department.
Everyone is not in a hurry now. The Security Department has already received it. It doesn't matter if it is other departments in the afternoon. It will be the turn of the department they belong to tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
Department after department organized people in an orderly manner to go to the finance department to collect money. With money in their pockets, many people met for a drink together in the evening.
They didn't know that Li Xuejian and Guan Hongsheng had already started discussing layoffs with Gao Jin, and took this opportunity to lay off unnecessary personnel.
The current staff size of ATV is extremely bloated. It turns out that the directors assigned a lot of people to the TV station, and many of them were paid but did not work.
TVB does not have this situation. However, TVB has secretly used various means to force away some people in the past two years, and the staffing is relatively reasonable.
"Master Gao, the slow method can save nearly 20 million yuan, but it takes up to a year."
Guan Hongsheng told Gao Jin both plans, one was fast and the other was slow, it was Gao Jin's business to choose.
"Use a quick method, there is no time to struggle with these people." Gao Jin immediately made a decision. ATV must get into the state quickly. Only in this way can it get on the right track one day earlier.
Turning to look at Li Xuejian, "Did someone submit their resignation to you?" Gao Jin asked.
"No"
"Young Master Gao, there are a group of people whose contracts will expire in April. My idea is to put these people aside and wait for more than a month to let them leave voluntarily. This can save a sum of resettlement fees."
Li Xuejian expressed his thoughts. Most of these people were appointed by the director. The contract they signed with the TV station was only for one year. There was no problem if they did not renew the contract when it expired.
"Okay, let's do it after all employees' back wages have been paid in the past two days."
"Laoguan, you must fully cooperate with Li Xuejian"
Gao Jin watched the two of them say this with serious faces, and the two nodded with serious expressions on their faces.
The three of them discussed for a while, then Li Xuejian and Guan Hongsheng left and went back to make preparations.
The next day, many newspapers in Hong Kong began to report the news that ATV had begun to clear up unpaid wages. Many employees were interviewed. Many people said that their unpaid wages had been paid in one go and they were very optimistic about the development of ATV.
Some media also revealed the news that some ATV program groups have also been allocated funds for comprehensive upgrades. In short, it is all good news.
Fortunately, ATV is not listed. If it were a listed company, it would definitely rise sharply.
Two days have passed, and all ATV employees' wages have been paid. From this moment on, ATV no longer owes any employees wages.
One day later, the Human Resources Department began to interview some personnel, and the layoffs began.
Not only that, Li Xuejian also took action to adjust the heads of multiple departments. Thirteen department heads were demoted and many departments merged.
Those who were demoted knew in their hearts that they were demoted to save compensation, and they would have to leave when their contracts expired.
If you want to resist, you have been deprived of your rights and have lost the capital to play small tricks.
Another thing is, even though you have been demoted, your salary has not been reduced, and you have no reason to go to the labor department to make trouble.
One by one, they started to get active and started looking for a new home. The first target was TVB. Unfortunately, unlike before, TVB didn’t want anyone at all.
One by one, they began to sigh and lament that there was nothing they could do.
With the merger of personnel adjustment departments, all departments of ATV began to become turbulent, and everyone began to worry. It was difficult to find a job with a good salary, and many people began to worry about being laid off.
The Xiangjiang City Labor Department received a report from ATV a few days ago. Layoffs are inevitable. The entire ATV staff is too bloated. Compared with TVB, there are more than 300 more staff.
In order to save more people's positions, layoffs can only be carried out.
The Ministry of Labor knew very well what was going on at ATV. No matter who took over ATV, they would lay off employees. They were mentally prepared. After receiving the report and asking for instructions, they approved it.
In the past, there was no such regulation. As long as a company laid off employees, no one would care about it as long as it did not violate relevant laws. But that is different now.
Four years ago, Xiangjiang City only started to implement this regulation. Companies that lay off more than 30 people during the year must register with the Ministry of Labor in advance.
Otherwise, it will be illegal layoffs and you will be subject to a huge fine.
Li Xuejian's criteria are very simple. Today's ATV must be younger. Except for a few experienced old people who are retained, the rest of the people of similar age are on the layoff list.
Many newly appointed department heads are having a headache with this matter. They all have their own tasks and must reduce department staff. At the same time, there must be no delays in their work.
The Human Resources Department is no exception and also needs to lay off employees. The Human Resources Department that Zhang Yuerong is responsible for has as many as 37 employees. According to the plan, 11 people need to be laid off.
Young people who have worked for more than one year are not included in the layoff list, and Zhang Yuerong will not lay off these people. Many tasks in some departments are done by young people.
We can only start with those old people.
They talked one by one, and some even directly picked up a glass of water and splashed it in Zhang Yuerong's face. Bear it, you must bear it no matter what.
Every day, someone receives a notice from the Human Resources Department to go to the financial settlement to collect the compensation stipulated by law and leave ATV. The outside media also began to report this matter crazily.
This Lantern Festival, all ATV employees are having a very uncomfortable time.
Those who have not been laid off are not having a good time either. The workload has increased. They used to be fine if they worked only one hour a day. Now, with the reduction of department staff, such good days are gone.
On this day, Guan Hongsheng signed an agreement with Xiangjiang Chengye Security Company to fully acquire Chengye Security Company at a cost of 16 million.
Chengye Security Company, which was originally affiliated to Lixin Group, had begun to suffer losses in recent years. Lin Jianming called Gao Jin and told him about it.
Gao Jin agreed immediately. Sixteen million was Lin Jianming's quotation. Gao Jin agreed without counter-offering. This courage made Lin Jianming very emotional.
The Chengye Security Company is worth more than 8 million at most, and Gao Jin did not refuse even the doubled price. It was obvious that this was a favor to Lin Jianming for his help.
You respect me a foot and I will respect you a foot. This is the impression Gao Jin gives to outsiders.
Of course, this is also Gao Yuande's requirement for Gao Jin, to create a good reputation for repaying kindness, and maybe it will be your help at some point.
After the transaction was completed, Gao went to Chengye Security Company and talked with the management.
In the afternoon of the same day, adjustments were made to the management, and Gu Dejin, the former deputy general manager of the security company, was promoted to the general manager of the security company.
The Minister of Finance and the Minister of Legal Affairs have all been adjusted to highly advanced personnel.
After talking to Gu Dejin, Gao Jin left. The next day, Gu Dejin, with the cooperation of the Legal Department, began to lay off employees.
The management personnel were laid off through formalities. Three of the original five vice presidents were laid off. From now on, there will only be two vice presidents in the security company.
Next, we began to adjust and streamline the management personnel of each department. The original configuration was one senior and four deputy, but now it is all based on the configuration of one senior and one deputy.
Next, we started to deploy manpower.
A few days later, Chengye Security Company dispatched 40 young and strong personnel to ATV to supplement the security department.
ATV has begun to lay off employees in the security department. Half of the more than 100 people will be laid off. Every day you can see security personnel leaving cursing.
Once the adjustment is completed, the average age of the Security Department will be reduced from 46 to 32 years old.
This drop is not small.
Moreover, the total number of people in the security department has been reduced to 110 people.
Gao Jin is busy every day now. On this day, another 300 million was allocated to ATV. The 50 million allocated years ago has almost been used up.
Of the 300 million yuan, 100 million will be used to purchase equipment and replace old and problematic equipment.
Thirty million funds are allocated to the TV series production department to produce a TV series. For the time being, we will focus on producing one TV series and gradually increase the funds based on the results.
20 million funds were spent to comprehensively upgrade the company's props and clothing models, and some worn-out clothing and models were all disposed of and remade.
Eighty million funds were allocated to the special effects department for equipment upgrades. In Gao Jin's words, those 50-cent special effects are completely disgusting. If the personnel are not good, just replace them, and if the equipment is not good, just replace the equipment.
I must be given a comprehensive upgrade.
The company currently has three buses, five minibuses, five vans, and ten vans. All of them will be purchased new vehicles.
It's better to spend your money wherever it goes.
As funds are spent one after another, ATV is changing every day, a vitality begins to emerge, and the negative energy in the past is quickly dissipating.
In the blink of an eye, March is almost over, and the dozen or so people who were demoted have begun to submit their resignations and leave one after another.
Starting next month, ATV's salary payment will be reduced again.
In the chairman's office.
Zhou Ziru, the financial director of Xingling Group, Guan Hongsheng, the legal director of Xingling Group, Guo Chuanxue, the financial director of ATV, Duan Yuanzhi, the newly appointed legal director of ATV, and Zhang Yuerong, the personnel director.
A group of people are having a meeting with Gao Jin. The content of the meeting is just that the new salary standards will be implemented next month.
Now that ATV's adjustments have basically been put in place, more than 200 people have been laid off, and the bloated staff situation has changed. It is imperative to implement a new salary system.
A system must be formed, and this system must be incorporated into the financial and taxation coordination system of the Starling Group to facilitate the reasonable and legal tax avoidance of the Starling Group.
Zhou Ziru pointed at the screen with a laser pointer and explained, and a group of people listened carefully. With this adjustment, everyone's salary, including Li Xuejian, will be adjusted.
The base salary is reduced and bonuses are increased. The more profits you create for the company, the more bonuses you receive.
