When will I have a long tassel?

"Have you heard that our factory is going to lay off half of its employees?"

"Layoffs, how?"

"Just give each person a few thousand yuan and then fire him directly. He will have nothing to do with the factory in the future."

"How is this possible? We are a state-owned enterprise!"

"What happened to the state-owned enterprises? Have you not heard that in the north, one factory after another is laying off workers? They are all large state-owned enterprises with tens of thousands of people. They are laid off when they are told to be laid off."

"I've heard people say that it's not like this in our factory..."

"Why not? Before Lao Zhou and the others came, how close could our factory be to bankruptcy? If the factory went bankrupt, wouldn't all our seven or eight thousand people be laid off? Isn't that what happened at the Dongye Enamel Factory in Nanwu? Is that true? Each worker was given two boxes of enamel jars, which is considered compensation."

"Isn't the business going well some time ago? As for the baler... I heard that the technical department is currently engaged in heavy boring. If it is done well, it will be a big business."

"Why is this business enough? There are so many people in our factory, and one salary is more than 1 million. I heard that the profit of the baler is only enough to last for a few months. This time, I heard that it was under the ministry. We have obtained the documents and need to clear out the excess personnel.”

"Aren't those the surplus personnel just sent to the labor service company?"

"I heard they are still making trouble..."

"Making trouble? Haha, I really thought Lao Zhou was a soft persimmon. If the ministry really issued a document asking Lao Zhou to clean up the excess personnel, those who caused the most ferocity would probably be the first batch."

"Let's take it easy, it's a troubled time now..."

No one knows where these rumors came from, but after several rounds of rumors, they became more and more popular. In fact, in the past, everyone has heard about the bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises in a certain place and the layoff of workers. Some of the laid-off workers were even employees who were originally transferred from Linyiji. When these people came back to talk to their old colleagues about being laid off, they burst into tears, which was unbearable.

In the past few years, due to poor management of Linyiji, everyone was worried about the bankruptcy of the company. We also had serious discussions on how to unite and bargain with superiors to ensure everyone's interests.

After Zhou Heng and his team took office, they first recovered an arrears from Jinche and paid everyone two months' wages. Then they developed the baling machine business and even paid two months' wages back before the year. , let everyone have a good year. Under this situation, everyone thinks that Lin Yiji should be able to survive, and things like layoffs should be relatively far away from everyone.

But who would have thought that at this time, rumors spread in the factory that the superiors asked to lay off half of the employees at the first machine. The messenger was very knowledgeable, claiming that a certain close friend of his had seen with his own eyes the red-headed document issued by the second bureau. This document is locked in Zhou Heng's desk drawer. Someone asked Zhou Heng for confirmation on this matter, and Zhou Heng flatly denied it, but his attitude was so firm that people couldn't help but think of ancient sayings such as "There is no silver here."

"Lao Zhou, we two fellow villagers haven't had a drink together for a long time, right?"

In Zhang Jianyang's home, two people were sitting across from each other having a drink. It was Zhang Jianyang who was speaking, and sitting opposite him was Zhou Yijin, a former worker in the lathe workshop. His current identity is as a job seeker of a labor dispatch company.

"Old Zhang, you are now the manager of a popular labor service company. Director Zhou has praised you several times. Now I am a waste that no one wants. How can I dare to come and drink with you?"

Zhou Yijin said with full of complaints. He and Zhang Jianyang have always had a status gap, but because they are fellow villagers in a neighboring village, they have always had a good relationship. However, now he is a jobless person, and Zhang Jianyang is the big manager in charge of them. He came to Zhang Jianyang's house this time because he wanted to rekindle old friendships so that Zhang Jianyang could arrange a good position for him.

"Lao Zhou, I don't like hearing what you say. What do you mean by trash that no one wants? Assistant Tang has a famous saying, saying that the so-called trash is just a treasure that has been misplaced. Look at me, I used to be in the office As a deputy director in the factory, I would do some work to serve the leader every day. People in the factory gave me a nickname, "Xiao Zhangzi". Do you think I haven't heard of it? You said, in everyone's eyes, I Isn’t it trash?” Zhang Jianyang said pretending to be angry.

Zhou Yijin shook his head and said, "You are more educated than me. It was indeed a waste of talent to stay in the office in the past. Director Zhou put you in the labor service company. I fought for you at first, but now I see that you It’s really the best place to be in a labor service company.”

Zhang Jianyang took over his words and said: "Yes, this is called taking a step back to open up the world. Lao Zhou, you are too slow-tempered, and it is really inappropriate for you to learn to work as a lathe. Now that the lathe workshop has diverted you, you have never thought about it. Do something else?"

"Of course I have thought about it." Zhou Yijin said, "No, I just asked you, a fellow countryman, to come through the back door. Lao Zhang, for the sake of our many years of friendship, can you arrange for me to go to the East District Supermarket, even if You can also be a warehouse keeper. I am not very technical, but I am careful in my work. This is recognized by everyone, right?"

"Why did you think of going to the East District Supermarket?" Zhang Jianyang asked.

Zhou Yijin said: "I can see that Director Zhou and the others are determined to divert us. Even if I have a dispute with the factory, I might end up in disgrace. You see, Wang Ying can do it, and let Tang Zifeng cause trouble." What's going on? I'm so old, I'm really embarrassed to be slapped in the face by a young man."

"But, what does this have to do with you wanting to go to the East End Supermarket?"

"In the entire labor service company now, only the Eastern District Supermarket has good benefits. The salary is higher than that of ordinary workers in the workshop, and there are bonuses. You don't know, most of us who have been diverted are looking for connections. Have you ever hired Cai Cai? People who drink at work, some ask their family members to try to establish relations with Huang Liting, because they all want to enter the East District Supermarket."

Zhang Jianyang said in astonishment: "How come I don't know about this?"

Zhou Yijin said: "I heard people say that Huang Liting has the final say in the East District Supermarket now, and she has Tang Zifeng backing her up. Everyone said that if you want to enter the East District Supermarket, it won't work for you, you have to go to Huang Liting. Of course, if Whoever has such a big face and can talk to Tang Zifeng would be better than anything else."

Zhang Jianyang was a little embarrassed, and he said bravely: "What you said makes some sense. It's not that my words don't work, it's just that the labor service company signed an agreement with Huang Liting, and the company will not interfere in the business of the East District Supermarket. Huang Liting is the same. If I have the skills, I can't do what she did in the East District Supermarket. Professional things should be done by professionals. This is also the principle that Assistant Tang taught me. "

"That's it, if you, a big manager, want to put someone in, Huang Liting can't help but give you face, right?" Zhou Yijin asked tentatively.

Zhang Jianyang said: "Lao Zhou, I won't hide it from you. If I want to say something, Huang Liting will definitely buy it. However, I don't agree with you going to the East District Supermarket."

"Why?" Zhou Yijin asked.

Zhang Jianyang said: "The current salary in the East District Supermarket is pretty good, but it is just good. If you go to the East District Supermarket, as you said, you can become a warehouse keeper. If you are not 40 years old, you will be happy Do you want to do this kind of job for the rest of your life?”

Zhou Yijin said dejectedly: "If I'm not a warehouse keeper, what else can I do? It turns out that I was in the lathe workshop, and I hoped to learn some skills and become a sixth-level or seventh-level worker when I retire. But who knew that I would learn this thing at all? If you don’t come, people think it’s a simple thing, but I just can’t understand it. Alas, this is life.”

Zhang Jianyang asked: "Old Zhou, there is an opportunity now. I wonder if you want to try it."

"what chance?"

"The labor service company wants to set up a moving company that specializes in helping people move. They charge 50 yuan for a move. This moving company is invested by the labor service company and can provide space in the initial stage. The money earned will be earned by the moving company. What do you think about the employees within the company being divided among themselves?"

Zhou Yijin frowned: "What kind of thing is this? Helping people move, isn't that selling labor force?"

Zhang Jianyang said: "You can't say that. When you work in the workshop, aren't you selling labor force? You just said that you are not good at learning skills, but you are careful. Think about it, the most difficult thing about moving is to be careful. If the wardrobe, TV, etc. in someone's home is bumped and some paint is scratched off, they will feel distressed. You are so careful, you were born to do this."

"Lao Zhang, are you serious?" Zhou Yijin asked. He had previously thought that Zhang Jianyang told him this because he was unwilling to help him contact the East District Supermarket and deliberately found a topic to distract him. But now that he heard Zhang Jianyang speak so seriously, he also paid attention to it.

Zhang Jianyang said: "Lao Zhou, let me tell you, Assistant Tang specifically told me about the idea of ​​a moving company. He said that houses are being built everywhere in Linhe, and the moving company must have a great future. He asked me to find a few Someone you can trust will do it. When I think about it, which one of us will follow whom? If there is such an opportunity, of course I will think of you first."

"This matter... is too troublesome." Zhou Yijin said. His words were also a casual excuse. After all, the incident happened so suddenly that he still couldn't understand it.

Zhang Jianyang said: "Old Zhou, I don't know if you have heard some rumors in the factory. Under the current situation, it is better for everyone to find a way out as soon as possible. After all, the factory can still give everyone some buffer time, in case the superiors urge us to come down. , everyone does it across the board and completely cuts off ties with the factory. It will not be easy for you to have such an opportunity again."

"You mean, those rumors in the factory are true?" Zhou Yijin looked at Zhang Jianyang and asked.

Zhang Jianyang chuckled and said, "I didn't know. Now that I'm no longer in the office, I heard the news from the factory through hearsay. But, Lao Zhou, do you think this kind of thing is fake?"

"That's it..." Zhou Yijin hesitated.
