Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 761 - 285: Canceling the Annual Meeting, Arranging Early Spring Festival Leave (2)

Chapter 761: Chapter 285: Canceling the Annual Meeting, Arranging Early Spring Festival Leave (2)

Carelessness resulted in significant losses for the company, and as a secretary, she is also responsible for this.

"Don’t worry, I didn’t write it wrong. Our company has always had the long Spring Festival holidays like this." Sun Dasheng looked at her and said.

"Oh? Is that so." Huang Han covered her mouth in surprise.

Realizing immediately that she had spoken too much, she kept bowing and apologizing: "Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked more."

Who knew Sun Dasheng would wave his hand graciously: "It’s not your fault, it’s your serious and responsible attitude towards work. Go and make the arrangements."

"Okay, Director Sun."

Personal assistant Huang Han left.

Secretary Little White, who was in charge of internal cultural development activities, swaying her waist like a water snake, knocked and entered.

She exchanged a glance with Huang Han at the door, jealousy clearly written all over her face.

She was obviously here first, so why could this little b*tch surpass her?

The previous head of the secretarial office was clearly biased.

When she walked in, her face was all smiles: "Chairman, you were busy outside during the New Year, so the company’s annual party was put on hold. Now everyone is waiting for your instructions."

Sun Dasheng glanced at her and said indifferently: "Since we missed it, let’s not hold it this year."

"Oh?" Secretary Bai didn’t expect the chairman to respond this way.

Before coming, she was confident about gaining the chairman’s favor with this matter, but now that the event is canceled, what can she show to the chairman?

Should she just strip in front of him?

No way!

She knows the chairman doesn’t like such aggressive and forward advances.

"Chairman, wouldn’t that be bad? Many colleagues are looking forward to this year’s party," Little White felt she could still persuade him.

Sun Dasheng gave her a disapproving look; back in the day, he was fired right after performing at the company’s annual party.

So regarding annual parties, he can’t say he dislikes them, but he’s simply not very interested.

Whose party is it really?

Is it truly for the workers of the company?

Or just a facade put up by a few executives burning large sums of company money?

As a former labor in a big factory, he has the right to speak on this.

This sort of thing doesn’t bring any benefits to the employees, and just wastes their time, forcing them to suck up to the company’s higher-ups.

It’s pointless.

So he doesn’t want to hold it.

He organized it the first year.

Mainly because he was suddenly rich, like a freed serf singing a liberation song, wanting to experience what his leaders once felt.

After experiencing it, he no longer wanted to trouble the workers.

"Cancel the annual party!" Sun Dasheng said coldly.

Secretary Bai was scared out of her wits.

This was the first time she’d seen the chairman so stern.

"Yes, I’ll go inform everyone immediately!" She quickly scurried off.

Two decisions came down from the top.

Both made the middle and lower-level employees extremely happy.

The first was that the Spring Festival holiday, consistent with last year, would start a week later on the 23rd of the lunar month, and work would resume on the 16th of the first month.

The second was that the annual party, which had been in the works for months, was now canceled and similar events wouldn’t be hosted in the future.

The raffle prizes from the party would be directly held online. Just wait for news in the company’s internal mailbox.

The prizes are generous, stay tuned!

These two pieces of good news spread at once.

The company instantly started buzzing.

"The company finally did a humane thing. I’ve always said the annual party is a waste of money, it’s of no benefit to the company."

"Exactly, look at most companies spending tens of millions each year to invite celebrities. It’s like they’re burning money; that money could be given directly to us employees."

"Heh... Capitalists aren’t that kind-hearted. They’d rather waste money on celebrities than give it to the company employees."

"Did you forget to exclude our company?"

"Oh, right, right, our company is an exception because we have a good chairman."

"Hey! Don’t you think the chairman is being overly nice?"

"What do you mean?"

"Look, he even leveled the salaries of other regions to match ours in Shanghai City. For equivalent positions, do we still have an advantage here in Shanghai?"

"I think this policy is quite good. If you feel there’s no advantage in Shanghai, you can go back home."

Someone retorted.

"Exactly, the chairman is giving us employees from smaller places a way out. If we can’t make it in Shanghai, we can apply to move to similar positions in other companies near our hometown."

.....

The pros and cons of a policy will naturally receive various evaluations.

Sun Dasheng paid no mind to it.

"Is the rate of people applying to return home high recently?" he asked his apprentice Ouyang Jiani.

As part of the company’s monitoring department, they were specially tasked with overseeing the company’s new internal free movement policy.

This was a social experiment.

In case of issues, it could be stopped anytime.

Sun Dasheng wasn’t sure if this experiment would succeed.

After all, every regional enterprise has limitations on positions available; they can’t endlessly provide to every young person from small towns struggling in big cities who wants to go home.

"When the policy first came out, the rate was quite high, but then it gradually fell and stabilized within a safe range," Ouyang Jiani reported with the survey data.

"Oh, what’s the reason?" Sun Dasheng was a bit curious.

"I guess the main reason is because the upper limit in big cities like Shanghai is higher. Our company has a lot of young people, and young people are always vigorous, wanting to forge a career."

"Moreover, the data shows, most who apply to return are in their thirties, single, unmarried, and have hit a career ceiling with a dim future, hoping to go back home. Because back home they can still receive the same salary as in Shanghai, making them quite competitive in third- or fourth-tier cities or small towns, reducing their pressure to buy a house, marry, and have children."

Ouyang Jiani’s analysis was well-reasoned.

Sun Dasheng nodded along.

Back then, he was divorced and unemployed; without the serendipitous system, he might have made the same choice to return to the county town.

Men and women are fundamentally different creatures.

If a woman isn’t strong, she can still rely on connections to survive in a big city.

If a man isn’t strong, a big city won’t accept him.

Sun Dasheng had thought about equalizing salaries for the same positions in different regions in the company, considering the less competitive men, offering them a way out, so they won’t be ruthlessly eliminated after contributing to society for decades.

It’s unfair to them.

Moreover, they are actually the foundation of social development.

In a system with misguided distribution, they never received their rightful share of the fruits of their labor.

While Sun Dasheng couldn’t resist the overall trend, he wished to make a modest contribution at his own company.

"One thing to note, the talent exchange channels on both sides should remain open. If people move back, then talents from there should also flow here,"

Sun Dasheng instructed.

"Master, rest assured, we’ve considered this. Companies from less developed areas have slots for exchange with developed areas each year."

"It’s like an exchange student program. If they perform well, they can stay in big cities like Shanghai, getting promotions and raises."

Ouyang Jiani explained.

"Yes, offer opportunities to those willing to strive, while letting those with less motivation return to recuperate, benefiting both sides."

"But ensure that even over there, work attendance is done well. Although the place is different, I haven’t lowered their benefits, so they must perform their duties well."

"Anyone slacking off or thinking they can neglect duties because they’re back home must be singled out. I don’t want to turn a good deed into resentment,"

Sun Dasheng reminded again.

"Got it, master, I’ve noted it down." Ouyang Jiani also knew this is a common scenario, and failing to address it could easily turn a good plan into a problematic one.
