307. Different management
After hearing Representative Zhang's question, the smile on Li Chuntian's face disappeared.
After a while, he said, "I felt uncomfortable when I first came down, so why did I have no objection?
Secretary Zhang, I won’t hide it from you. It’s not easy for me to get to the position of Deputy Director of the Department of Labor and Responsibility.
At the age of eighteen, I entered the factory and worked as a grinder in a large-piece workshop for eight years. Later, the old director of the workshop saw that my ruler was accurate, so he transferred me out for inspection.
At that time, the turmoil had not yet begun, and the organizational relationship in the factory was still normal. Thinking about being ambitious, it would not work without real skills.
Later, it became chaotic. Everyone didn't produce, and they criticized and fought all day long, so I also made trouble. By the time the factory resumed production in 1974, the new cadres were all those who didn't know what they were doing, and their production was also messy.
At that time, I lost the spirit of being motivated and lived with everyone. The worker had done enough. I happened to be a neighbor with the director of the Workers Department, so I was thinking about getting along with him and going to the office.
I spent a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to be able to enter the workforce. After entering the workforce, I worked diligently and worked hard for more than ten years before I got to the position of deputy director.
The factory was no longer possible. Mr. Yao came and disbanded all the departments and no cadres needed. I had to wait for more than 20 years before I became a deputy director. I immediately became nothing and couldn't even make it a clerk. With those clerks who came down, the workers were assigned to a group to wait for the assignment of work. I must have felt uncomfortable, and I said a lot of strange things at that time."
When Representative Zhang heard this, he asked: "Mr. Yao doesn't need you, it's because you are a cadre?"
Li Chuntian smiled and said, "That's not. He uses it too, such as Lin Qinghua, the former branch managers."
Representative Zhang said, "I remember you are very capable and very caring about your job. How come you are not capable?"
Li Chuntian laughed again and said, "Secretary Zhang, you think I am quite capable, but I can't do it with Mr. Yao. Being able does not mean being capable.
Mr. Yao couldn't use the things we used to do in the past, including the data storage, sorting, writing, and internal investigation and external investigation. Now they call the Human Resources Department, which mainly serves as the factory network talents and the assessment of the management capabilities of internal management personnel.
At the beginning, we were still breathing a sigh of relief and wanted to see Mr. Yao’s joke. You don’t need us old people, but you will not be completely messed up in the future. You don’t know where to look for cadres who are suitable for work!
As a result, they were completely different from our original plan. Later, they organized everyone to discuss the posting. Chief Qi from the Statistics Department of the Human Resources Department came over and explained the assessment system to us. Only then did we understand how they did it? They were much more wise and scientific than us. Everyone was convinced.
Only then did I realize that I have been working in personnel work for more than ten years, but I am still a layman! I know nothing about this when I do it. If I don’t need us, I don’t have anything to be wronged.”
Representative Zhang asked again: "Then why did you come here again? Is it allocated?"
Li Chuntian said: "Where? I am now the leader of the quality team of the driving work section. Although this position is not very big, I have to compete for the job and have to go through cadre inspections and interviews.
I have done testing in the past and am quite familiar with this job. I am competing with a few people and getting this position with my own ability."
Representative Zhang is very interested in this competition for employment. He has never heard of it, so he asked Li Chuntian about the competition for employment.
Li Chuntian’s lecture is amazing. Representative Zhang has heard of many things for the first time and does not understand them at all. For example, this position recruitment, job salary, two-way management, and almost all management systems are different from those in the past of mining machines.
Li Chuntian had to explain it one by one to him, and this time was delayed a lot. Fortunately, Li Chuntian was the team leader and didn't have to go to the production workshop to work on his own, otherwise he would have really delayed his affairs.
Even so, Deputy Zhang did not understand what was going on. He was afraid that the time he was stunned for a long time would delay Li Chuntian, so he had no nerve to ask carefully.
He planned to go back to his office first and ask someone to find him to take over the mining machine after Yao Yuan took over, and then he would study all the newly formulated rules and regulations first.
But he still remembered Li Chuntian's words and made appropriate summary.
One means that you really have to make a living by your ability now. From a cadre to a worker, you will be eliminated soon after a short time from a cadre to a worker.
It’s a bit like Li Chuntian’s time when he first entered the factory. So, Li Chuntian really has no resentment towards Yao Yuan now.
He knew in his heart that in the past, he was not dependent on his ability to get into the position of deputy director, but on his relationship and years of hard work. His real ability was to use a ruler to get quality.
It was not in vain to work in the position of the deputy director. Although the intrigue in the agency is no longer useful, the writing skills and organizational skills he has developed over the years have made him feel at ease as a quality team leader and there is still a lot of room for improvement. In this way, he is very content.
The only feeling that he felt was different from the time he first entered the factory was that the pressure was much greater than before. In the past, he just wanted to do it well, and if he did something wrong, he still had a chance to correct it.
Now it’s not possible. If you do something wrong, you will deduct performance points and be fined. No matter what problems arise in the entire quality team, he will be responsible. If the work fails to meet the standards, he will be replaced by others.
Moreover, every time a piece of waste is detected, it involves the vital interests of the operator who produced the waste. It must be careful and the operator will not agree to the mistake if it makes a mistake.
What's more serious is that those residual products that are between being able to use and not being able to use must really test the experience and ability of the team leader.
If you let it go and have problems with customers, it will be a big problem, which will affect the reputation of the company. This problem is the most important issue for management now. It is easy to solve the problem in the factory, but when it comes to customers, the punishment will be much more serious.
Therefore, as the quality manager, the safest way is to suspect that it will be more severe. As long as there are defects in the product, it will be scrapped directly.
But this will affect the pass rate and increase production costs. The machine-plus industry is originally profitable, and when the scrap rate increases, everyone's salary will be affected.
There are higher-level quality supervision in the key workshop. If a work section has a waste rate too high, the workshop quality supervision will be inquired and conduct secondary inspection of the waste. Once it is found that it treats the defective products that can be left factory as waste, he still has to take responsibility.
This is a contradiction. But then again, you, the quality team leader is to control this link. You have no ability to distinguish defective products and waste products. What else do you, the team leader?
These are all tangible and intangible pressures.
Despite these pressures, Li Chuntian still thinks it is better now. Although there was no pressure in the past, there was no such thing as a job salary. It is almost the same as doing well or doing badly. Moreover, when it comes to the factory years, you can make a living by your salary level. If you have the ability, you will enter the factory late, and the salary level is low, but if you work hard, there will be no one who doesn’t work hard. If you have the higher level, you will get more money.
Now it’s different. When he is in the position of quality team leader, he gets the salary of the position of quality team leader, which is much higher than that of ordinary team members and workers. Otherwise, the position will be highly competitive.
With his own abilities, he won from many competitors, which is a kind of pride. Compared to being the deputy director, he felt that he now had a sense of accomplishment, lived a more down-to-earth life, and felt more at ease.
The second issue Li Chuntian mentioned is the issue of equality between cadres and staff.
The mining machines under Yao Yuan’s leadership only have different positions and no one’s high or low status. This is what Yao Yuan has repeatedly relied on everyone. The boss of the mining machines of Yao Building, like everyone else, has no privileges and can only do things according to these rules and regulations. He cannot do anything at will. He wants to fire workers as his personal preferences, not even that!
Similarly, no matter which level of cadres, they do not have the power to use whoever they want. The human resources department’s employment assessment does not count. In the rules and regulations, the power of each level of cadres is strictly regulated. In other words, cadres are also a position, and like all job positions, they have strict operating procedures. You must follow this procedure, make regulations, and make accidents, and be held responsible and punished. Besides, the rules are all hanging on the wall, and everyone can see them, and if you are out of the circle, everyone will not listen to you.
In this way, everyone knows the scope of power of cadres, and there is no need to be afraid of cadres and dare to speak.
Although there is no absolute equality, everyone knows that speaking will not be done. As long as they do not violate the regulations, no one can be expelled if they say they are expelled. If they say they are punished, they dare to speak.
Therefore, there was a fierce discussion of representative meetings, a phenomenon of workers giving opinions to leaders directly, and a phenomenon of cadres doing something wrong, and workers dared to contradict cadres.
This is also a good phenomenon in Li Chuntian's opinion. When everyone has equal status, mining machines will no longer have so many unhealthy trends and evil spirits, and will no longer use their power for personal gain, which also ensures that everyone can continue to implement the principle of making a living by their ability.
Representative Zhang was deeply moved by Li Chuntian's words. He joined the army and finally came to the factory. He spent his whole life pursuing a world where most people had equal power. Now, in mining machines, he seemed to have seen his pursuit for many years and had hope.
However, Li Chuntian also told Representative Zhang that many workers have limited cultural knowledge and understanding abilities. When they really encounter problems, they often don’t know how to protect their power.
It’s like when a lawsuit is taken in society, one often encounters unfairness, but one does not know how to resort to the law to protect one’s power. Even if one goes to a lawyer, the lawyer’s level is uneven. Can one really seek justice for them? They also doubt and cannot believe the lawyer.
There are also some workers who do not understand the management methods of cadres. They clearly have no mistakes in their business affairs, but they will also mess around with cadres, affecting the work of cadres and affecting the smooth progress of production.
If there is a team that everyone can trust to help everyone protect their power and let employees who are truly treated unfairly no longer worry that they will not be reasonable and cannot appeal if they suffer grievances. At the same time, let those employees who are unwilling to be afraid and obey the correct management of cadres. In this way, no matter whether it is a cadres or the masses, they no longer have to worry about their rights protection, that would be great.
