Chapter 68
In the new week, I entered the busiest stage since I joined Zhongtian Group. I didn’t even have time to go to Fanxing to help this week. Fang Leslie was injured, so I should have to temporarily go over and replace him.
On Thursday, according to the requirements arranged by Mandy, I finally completed the work task and sent her a recruitment request for review. However, she called me to the office and waited for me to enter the conference room. I found that the heads of the brand department, operation department and sales department were all there. This was to hold a management meeting in her office.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's start. I've read all the recruitment needs you sent me this week. There are no problems with the other departments, but yours." Mandy suddenly looked at me, "Dongli, are you afraid of adding labor costs to the company, or are you worried that your department will be too large? You only add two people to the new recruitment needs?"
I hesitated for a moment and said, "I think I need to consider the work saturation of the company's employees. I am worried that if I recruit too many people at once, there will be an overwork situation."
"Then you don't have to worry about this. Our Zhongtian Group used to pay for advertising companies every year. The cost was too high, so it began to adjust and reform at the end of last year. The advertising department not only had to be responsible for the company's internal advertising business, but also had to expand to take over the orders outside. Now that it has improved, we must go with the trend, do you understand?"
"clear."
"After you go back later, you can continue to modify your recruitment needs, set up new members' internal and external positions, as well as commission systems with different divisions of labor."
After Mandy finished talking about my affairs, she glanced at the heads of each department, pointed to the four different file bags placed on the table, and said, "This is the performance appraisal form for each of you department members in the past three months. Except for your own, everyone else is here. I will give it to you four again next week. Each of you will claim the form of your department. All scores are well handled according to the scoring situation."
"receive!"
Each of us walked out of Mandy's office with a file bag. No one spoke, and looked very calm, but in fact everyone had their own thoughts.
When I returned to the work station, I opened the file bag and checked the performance of the four people in the advertising department one by one. Unfortunately, the two new colleagues who have not been able to pass this assessment. I can only say that they were in the wrong time and were in the stage of major rectification of the entire group.
Zhang Qi's three-month assessment score is pretty good, so he can naturally stay. As for Zhibin... I'm sorry that he failed the assessment, and he was still one point away from the performance score that meets the standards, but this is not a big mistake, because I didn't have the right to give everyone a score during the assessment.
After handling these work tasks, I took some time to conceive the work plan for the next week and submit the latest recruitment needs. However, the commission system is a bit difficult and I don’t know how to weigh it to fit.
...
The busy time is always over, and it is time to get off work soon. Today is Friday, and the weekend is coming again, and I have to do the final treatment of performance appraisal. As Mandy said: As a management team, learning how to be a "bad guy" in the workplace is a necessary basic skill. As long as you hold a yardstick of power in your hand, there will always be some people who will have controversy about you.
I called everyone from the advertising department into the conference room. At the meeting, I truthfully announced the performance appraisal of the three-month to them. Whether to go or stay today, it will be handled and will take effect immediately.
The two new colleagues who had just arrived walked out of the conference room with reluctance and regret. After they walked out of the conference room, people from the Human Resources Department and the Finance Department were waiting for them. Zhang Qi was glad that she stayed there. After she left the conference room, there were only Zhibin and I left here.
"Brother Zhou, can you get some help to make up for the point I'm not bad?" Zhibin looked as if he was dead. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty and continued with a tone of discussion: "Since you have the ability to get up to the supervisor's position, you will definitely be sure of the scores of the department's subordinates. Is it okay to give me a chance to stay here?"
I was silent and didn't say anything, but he became even more panicked and hurriedly continued: "Brother Zhou, no, Supervisor Zhou, as long as you let me stay in the advertising department, I can use all my resources to accept orders for you, I..."
"Zhibin, there are some things that you and I can't decide." During the brief silence, I finally spoke, and thought about it and continued: "I can only say that according to the current situation, it is impossible for you to stay in the advertising department, but because of the difference in performance points and the fact that you are still an old employee, I will give you a chance to transfer jobs, it depends on whether you only want to stay in the advertising department or in Zhongtian Group."
"Replacement... Where else can I go..." He slowly closed his eyes as if he was struggling to make a decision. After thinking for a while, he said, "If you can transfer, I agree." After that, he walked out of the conference room in disappointment.
"Okay, I will make arrangements for you next Monday." I said as I looked at Zhibin's back. He just nodded and then left the conference room.
How important is human relationships and worldly things in the workplace, but the more you grow, the more you will understand that some things are not something you say that you should work hard, and things will definitely be what you want.
When I returned to the office work station and just sat down for a while, I received a reminder on the WeChat message on the computer screen. When I opened it, I saw that it was a text message sent to me by Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi: Brother Zhou, a new noodle restaurant has been opened downstairs of the company. A colleague said it tastes very good, and it is still a new store that has a discount. Why don’t we go and try it together after get off work?
While I was still thinking about how to reply to her, she sent another message: You busy person, won’t you have another appointment tonight, right?
In fact, this is the third or fourth time she has invited me to have a meal. I have declined before, but now I see her saying this, I feel embarrassed to refuse again. Moreover, I like noodles, so I agree to her invitation.
After get off work, Zhang Qi and I came to the noodle restaurant downstairs of the company, but I deliberately walked in front of her to order food because this noodle restaurant was paid first and then eaten, so I naturally would not really let her pay.
I ordered a bowl of braised beef noodles, she ordered a portion of wonton noodles, and not long after, the waiter came with the noodles.
She said with a little dissatisfaction: "Brother Zhou, why are you doing this? Everyone said that I would come to treat you. You still rushed to pay the bill. Finally, you invited you, a busy man, to have a meal together."
I smiled and said that it was not concerned, and said, "It's okay, just have a meal. Eat quickly. The noodles will be no good after a while."
While eating noodles, the noodles that Zhang Qi ate splashed some soup onto the cuffs of my clothes. She quickly took out a tissue from her bag and wiped the cuffs of my clothes. This made me flattered. I quickly took the tissue from her hand, but she took away my hand with her other hand, and kept saying "Sorry".
"Just a little soup, it won't get in the way."
However, while I was talking, I accidentally saw a familiar figure passing by outside the noodle restaurant. Ning Bingrou... What was even more embarrassing was that she happened to see me. At this time, Zhang Qi happened to be holding my hand. She saw this scene in her eyes and caught her. Her eyes were a little complicated...
