Back To 2005

"What's going on with that employee?"

Late at night, the stable-looking Knight XV parked in the underground parking lot of the celebrity group headquarters. As soon as Zhou Anan got off the car, he saw the beautiful special assistant, CEO Qi Liang and others waiting there. He asked as he walked towards the elevator.

Originally, Qi Liang and others were already driving the private yacht he was awarded in Yazhou today, preparing to take his family on a wonderful vacation, but they flew back overnight because of a video that went viral on the Internet.

"Chi Jiangfeng, male, 35 years old, joined the technical department in August 2007 as the deputy director of the third department. The current level is M6. During the routine physical examination of employees in mid-December this year, he was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer. Due to his physical inability to cope with the current intensity of work, HR The department will transfer him to the logistics department, his grade will remain unchanged for one year, and he will be paid 1.5 times the basic salary as usual."

Following the big boss, Huang Ying quickly introduced the video protagonist's information simply and concisely.

"Um."

After hearing what the beautiful special assistant said, Zhou Anan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and wait for the next sentence.

According to common sense, the HR department did a fairly thorough job and adhered to his consistent requirement of treating employees preferentially.

Even if the employee was seriously ill, he still did not fire him and even provided him with 1.5 times the basic salary. I wonder which company has such good treatment.

However, such a handling method by the group's human resources department led to the bad news incident of "a celebrity group employee was dismissed for no reason due to illness, and someone tried to set himself on fire at the group gate."

It’s so difficult to do business these days, and there are always unscrupulous people trying to harm me.

"However, Chi Jiangfeng was originally responsible for the design of a web game. After the game is successfully launched, he will receive a large bonus if he reaches a certain amount of profit. Chi Jiangfeng's family environment is more responsible, and he has two children who are still in elementary school. His wife stays at home full-time, and there are three elderly people in the couple's hometown to support. The family's expenses are all burdened on Chi Jiangfeng. Coupled with his current high treatment expenses, it may not be possible to rely on 1.5 times the basic salary alone. After supporting him for too long, Chi Jiangfeng wanted to stay in the original department, but the HR department did not agree because of his physical condition."

"This morning, Chi Jiangfeng suddenly appeared at the gate of the group headquarters, poured wine on himself, held a lighter and asked our human resources department to change the appointment. The incident happened to be during the rush hour, and many people stopped to watch and take videos with their mobile phones. The video was quickly uploaded to major video websites. So far, the number of viewers has exceeded 10 million. Some of the videos with high clicks are of high definition. The person behind the video has not yet been confirmed. After the decision of the public relations department and the president's office, our celebrity micro guest No traffic restriction measures were taken, and the number of retweets exceeded 300,000, and the number of comments exceeded one million, ranking third on the hot search list that day."

"Planned by the public relations department and authorized by President Qi, at eight o'clock tonight, we will hold an impromptu press conference in the large conference room on the second floor of the headquarters to clarify the entire truth of the matter. The entire process will be broadcast live on the Weike official account and tomorrow's video."

After listening to the perfect female special assistant's quick narration, Zhou Anan walked out of the elevator that had reached the top floor and asked, "How is Chi Jiangfeng doing now?"

"Chi Jiangfeng is currently under police control and is receiving treatment and mental status evaluation in the hospital."

Faced with the big boss's question, Huang Ying answered without hesitation.

"Do you think this kind of response can calm public opinion on the Internet?"

Sitting in the main seat of the small conference room, Zhou Anan looked at the several executives present.

"I think this matter is not that simple. The mastermind behind the scenes will definitely direct public opinion to Chi Jiangfeng's family plight and the inhumanity of our human resources department, and then criticize our group's indifference."

As a mature CEO, Qi Liang can naturally guess the weaknesses that the mastermind behind the scenes may find.

Although from the beginning to the end, their celebrity group has dealt with sick employees with a humane attitude, the viewers on the Internet have never been rational.

It is a common problem among Chinese netizens to ignore the excitement and sympathize with the weak at all costs. This is also caused by the late development and too fast development of China's Internet.

"The focus of this matter is the future of Chi Jiangfeng's family. Everyone knows that once Chi Jiangfeng leaves our group, their family will only face tragedy. I think from a humanistic perspective, the group can afford Chi Jiangfeng’s follow-up treatment expenses will be paid, and certain financial subsidies will be given to their family. In this way, the public opinion on the Internet will soon subside, and people will appreciate our group’s responsibility, so that all employees of the group will increase their sense of belonging.”

As the director of the technical department and even a technical staff member, Pan Shaofu proposed a more reasonable plan.

It is definitely not enough to simply explain the progress of the matter at present. The focus is to solve the worries of Chi Jiangfeng's family.

This amount of money may be out of reach for ordinary people, but it is not much for a celebrity group with a valuation of 20 billion and liquidity of more than 2 billion.

"I don't agree. If our group opens this hole, if other employees encounter similar problems in the future, will they have to bear all the medical expenses and family compensation?"

As soon as Director Pan finished speaking, CFO An Jie objected: "Our group's welfare benefits are much higher than those in similar industries, and employees who are seriously ill do their best not to ask for dismissal. We have done a good enough job. But. , our group is not a charity after all, and we cannot open the door to convenience in this regard, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

"What's more, Chi Jiangfeng has only been employed for less than two years. His working hours have been normal during his employment, and his overtime work has not exceeded five times a year. These are all well-documented. The cause of his illness cannot be unilaterally attributed to our group's work. system."

"Once we agree to bear all the subsequent expenses of Chi Jiangfeng's family, there will still be conspiracy theorists who believe that it is our group's system that caused Chi Jiangfeng's illness, and they feel that it is unreasonable to be so generous. At that time, we will still be very passive, and the gains will not be worth the losses. ."

Unexpectedly, Mr. An would react so excitedly. Pan Shaofu opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to argue.

Now there are people behind the scenes who are adding fuel to the flames. Such concessions by their group are indeed likely to make people criticize the reasons for the group's losses.

According to ordinary people's thinking, their celebrity group has already dealt with it in such a humane manner, so why should they still bear the cost of Chi Jiangfeng's treatment and subsequent family support? It was obviously the group's institutional problems that caused the family to become seriously ill.

"Manager Zhang, what do you think?"

Seeing that Shaofu Pan was speechless, Zhou Anan asked Zhang Yiqi, the head of the administrative department who remained silent.

The other party is an old man who has been with the celebrity group since before it was established. He is under thirty, but he is in charge of the logistics support of the entire group. He can be called a young and promising person.

Moreover, the other party holds a power that ordinary people don't know about, and they will look at the problem from a different perspective.

Hearing the big boss ask about herself, Zhang Yiqi said: "I think what Mr. Qi and others said is reasonable. Relatively speaking, I prefer to provide Chi Jiangfeng's family with the help I can, but can we think of a way to get the best of both worlds? It not only allows the group to maintain the existing rules and regulations, but also allows Chi Jiangfeng and his family to have follow-up protection, taking into account human rights, reason and law. After all, we have to take into account the reactions of netizens and the feelings of all employees of the group."

"Manager Zhang has a good idea, just follow her method. At the next press conference, in addition to arranging for Mr. Qi to come on stage to explain the ins and outs, a CEO speech session will be added later, and I will go on stage in person."
