031, take the lead in asking for salary

At noon, the sun shines brightly in the Los Angeles area, with blue sky and clear sea.

Duca stopped the pickup truck and walked into the Sunshine Boy Bar. As soon as he reached the aisle, he heard Fat Tom shouting.

"Michael, you asked for leave again?! Look at how many days of leave you have taken recently, five days, two days more than Duca, you are so embarrassed."

"Ah? I didn't ask for leave. I said I would switch shifts with Marco and I could be on duty at night if I had time."

"That's more or less the same. You also know how bad the domestic economic situation is now. Many people have been unemployed for several years and can't find a job. But you earn such a high salary a month and ask for leave every day. If you don't blush, I will blush for you.

"

Tom said, slapping his face.

"My salary is high? Haha~ Tom, my salary is 1,500 a month, which is much less than other bartenders. Why is my salary so high? If you want to criticize Duka, just say it directly. Don't always criticize Duka in front of us and beat around the bush.

We are not trash cans."

Michael said dissatisfied.

"It's just that the boss doesn't dare to scold Duka for fear of being beaten. He always makes trouble for us. It's really unlucky."

Cardoso lay on the sofa and whispered.

"Nonsense, when did I scold Duka? Don't talk nonsense."

Tom glanced behind him, waved his hand immediately, and glared at Cardoso.

"Hey Tom, why are you criticizing Michael again? If he wants to take time off, he can just make it up on the weekend. By the way, I will also work two days of overtime this weekend."

Duca smiled.

"You work overtime too? Haha, no need. If you have something to do, just go about your business. Don't think about working overtime. I'm not an unreasonable boss."

Tom patted his big belly and laughed.

"Is that so? I do seem to have something to do on the weekend. I'll talk about overtime later. Tom, thank you for your understanding."

Duca smiled slightly.

"...."

Tom's face fell. I'm just trying to be polite to you. Why don't you know how to persist?

"Hehehaha~"

Several people around him laughed strangely.

"Why are you laughing? The guests are coming soon. Why are you still sitting here? Are you really treating this place as a playground?"

Tom shouted, patting the sofa.

"Let's go to work!"

Tony yelled a few times and quickly ran back behind the bar to continue learning how to mix drinks.

Wow~

Cardoso stretched and stood up slowly, Marco smoothed the blond hair on his head and left, Michael shrugged and followed, the villain Javier licked the ice cream and stood up, Gutiérrez walked out silently

Walk.

"snort!"

Tom looked at these employees with a dark face, not one of them was worrying.

Duka smiled and said, "Tom, do you have time? I have something to talk to you about."

"What's up?"

Tom forced a smile and said.

"I heard from Javier that everyone's salary has not been increased in almost three years."

"Salary? What do you want to do?"

Tom took a step back and asked with a wary look on his face.

"I wonder if I can give everyone a raise..."

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, this matter cannot be discussed."

Tom waved his hand and strode up the stairs, no slower than his long legs.

"Tom, the business of the bar has been much better than before in the past two months. The number of customers in the bar has doubled. Everyone's workload is twice as much as before. Without a little salary increase, everyone will have no enthusiasm for work, which will definitely affect the bar's performance.

Business will also affect your money making."

On the stairs, Duka said as he walked.

"Who is not motivated? Whoever dares to be lazy will be fired."

Tom stopped and glanced at the hall, and found Cardoso and a few lazily staying in the corner, listless.

"A bunch of bastards, Duka, you are the supervisor, this matter is your responsibility, even if you beat them."

"I can't help it. If you want the horses to run fast, you must give them enough feed.

For two consecutive months, the bar's monthly income has exceeded 150,000 US dollars, and this month it has reached 180,000 US dollars, an increase of 200% over the same period last year. The bar business is good, and it can get better, and you can also earn more.

,don’t you want to make more money?”

Duca advised.

Tom wrinkled his head and said, "No, we can't raise the salary. They are so lazy, so it's pretty good to get such a salary."

"They are lazy because they have no motivation and need encouragement. I have an idea that can help cheer them up without you needing to pay more."

"Oh, what?"

Tom became serious.

"The bar's revenue this month is US$180,000. This is a record, right? Has the bar's monthly revenue been this high before?"

"Yes, there must be. Although I can't remember it, the bar's business used to be good. What do you want to say?"

Tom scratched his fat face.

"Although there is, it is definitely not many times. This is equivalent to the highest point of the bar's income. We use 180,000 as the standard. How about using the excess every month to reward employees? If it is 190,000, use 10,000.

To reward employees, like performance awards, can also increase everyone's motivation."

Duca suggested.

"Use the extra as a reward?"

Tom frowned, "No, business has continued to rise recently. If I make 200,000 yuan, I have to use 20,000 yuan to divide the account. I am at a huge disadvantage."

"But you also have to understand that the reason why the bar can make money is inseparable from everyone's efforts. If you make so much, if you share it, not only will you not lose, but you will make more. Otherwise, the extra 80% will be regarded as performance

Award, and the remaining 20% ​​will be rewarded to you, the boss?"

"No, up to 60%!"

"Okay, then 60%!"

Duca patted the railing and said.

"Wait, I said it wrong, 20%, at most 20%, this is my bottom line."

Tom pulled him and said.

"20%? This is too little? Not to mention whether next month's revenue can exceed 180,000 US dollars. If it is just 180,000 US dollars, everyone can't get a cent. It will dampen everyone's enthusiasm. How about 50%?

Sample?

You and your employees will get half of it each, and I won’t take any of it. If next month’s revenue is 181,000, you will get 500 each, and everyone will share 500. This is the most reasonable ratio.”

Duca said.

"Wait, I'll think about it, I'll think about it again."

Tom sat on the stairs, rubbing his temples with two fingers. After five minutes, he raised his head and said,

"If the revenue exceeds 200,000 US dollars next month, I am willing to use 50% of the excess to give everyone bonuses."

"This is difficult. If you tell everyone that you have to wait until 200,000 before giving out bonuses, everyone will think that you are trying to spread the pie, and it will not have much encouragement. How about starting with 180,000 as the standard this year and giving everyone a taste of the sweetness.

Next year, when business is good, it will be raised to 200,000, or 250,000?"

Duca suggested.

Tom rubbed his temples again, mumbling that it was September now, and there were still three months until the end of the year.

"Okay, this year we will start with 180,000 as the standard, and the excess 30% will be used as a performance bonus."

"All right!"

Duca shrugged his shoulders. The old man's willingness to give 30% was already a big concession. He couldn't ask for too much.

"Hey, everyone, stop, I have good news to announce. Tony, go get Javier, Gutierrez, Grace, Julian, everyone together for a meeting."

Tom shouted from the stairs.

"Okay boss!"

Tom went to call for help, four waiters, two security guards, Javier and Gutierrez, two cleaners, Lisa and Susanna, the cashier, Sister Julian, and the accountant, Ms. Grace. Counting Duca, there were a total of 11 employees.

.

When everyone arrived, Tom walked around in front of everyone with his hands behind his back and his belly puffed out. Just when Marco rolled his eyes, Tom coughed a few times and told everyone about the performance issue.

If the monthly revenue reaches 200,000 yuan, which is 30% more than 20,000 yuan, which is 6,000 yuan, each person can get an extra five to six hundred yuan per month.

"Five or six hundred? That much?"

"Is this true?"

"Are you trying to make a big pie again? He used to talk about giving out year-end bonuses, but in the end there was nothing."

Everyone was very excited at first, but considering that Fatty often doesn't keep his word, everyone looked at Duka again.

"Duka, is this true?"

"Of course it's true, Duca, you tell them."

Tom said with a dark face.

Duca smiled and said, "It's true. I just called a lawyer. They will draft a labor agreement as a basis. If Tom keeps his promise, we can use this agreement to sue him."

"What? Duca, have you found a lawyer? How can you find a lawyer? Can't we make a verbal agreement? I keep my word."

Tom stood up suddenly and said dissatisfiedly.

"It's just an agreement. We'll settle things in the form of an agreement so that everyone can rest assured. We won't ask you for a penny more."

Duca smiled.

"This time I kept my promise and there was no need for any contract at all."

Tom said unhappily.

"We all think we should sign this contract, Tom, unless you're lying."

Cardoso curled his lips and smiled.

"Of course I didn't lie."

"Then sign the agreement."

After a while, a lawyer from Edward Lombard Firm came over with two documents.

Under everyone's gaze, Tom Loomis signed the contract with a dark face, and other employees also signed the contract.

Duca does not want a bonus and signs as a notary.

According to the agreement, if the revenue next month exceeds 180,000, 30% of the excess amount belongs to employee performance bonus. The contract is valid for three months, and the contract can be replaced with a new one after three months.

"Wow, I finally get a raise, thank you boss!"

Cardoso and Marco shouted excitedly.

The villain Javier also laughed and suddenly reached out to hug Tom, showing his strength for the first time.

"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble!"

Tom waved his hand and struggled a few times before falling to the ground.

"Don't be too happy too early. You have to earn more than 180,000 yuan per month to get rewards. You have to work hard."

"Don't worry, we will definitely work hard."

Marco shouted with his fists raised.

"Duka, good job!"

Michael quietly gave a thumbs up.

Duca smiled, hoping this trick would work.
