Chapter 2061 Equality between Men and Women

Sitting in the office, Zhou Buqi spends more time talking to people. He first chooses a direction, and then uses close communication to further understand the details within the company.

After talking to Zhang Yiming, this morning, he had conversations with Zhang Xuhao, President of Xiaonei.com, Gu Xinyuan, Director of Human Resources, and Zheng Xiaoli, Vice President of Search Business.

Especially Zheng Xiaoli, her eyes were red, as if she had cried.

Zhou Buqi made an exception and sent her directly out of the office and to the elevator when leaving.

Zheng Xiaoli is in charge of mobile products. She became pregnant in April, but she never took a break. Unexpectedly, she fell in the office last month and had a miscarriage after being sent to the hospital.

This incident is so sad.

It also makes people feel how difficult it is for women in the workplace.

However, this sister Zheng did not compromise and took half a month's rest before returning to the company. Zhou Buqi talked to her, not about business, but mainly to comfort her. At the same time, he asked her about the company's benefits for women in the workplace.

What kind of more special care should be given?

Zheng Xiaoli cried not because she was shocked or wronged, she was not that fragile, but because she was moved by the big boss's caring attitude.

However, when it comes to workplace benefits, she has a completely different idea.

Zheng Xiaoli shook her head firmly, "I think we should not increase the benefits for women. On the contrary, we should further reduce the preferential treatment of women and strive to achieve equality between men and women as much as possible."

"Why?" Zhou Buqi didn't dare to adjust the company's system rashly, not because Ziweixing couldn't afford the welfare expenses, but because he was worried that it would affect his whole body. "This time I went to the United States, I went to Google several times.

I also learned about one of their welfare policies. Female employees at Google can have 2-3 days of menstrual leave every month.”

Zheng Xiaoli immediately refused, "Don't!"

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised by her resolute attitude, and said with a smile: "I know you are a senior executive and a strong woman, but I think... we can fight for more welfare benefits for women. I know how many women have in the workplace.

Although it is difficult, the company is willing to provide more support and encouragement."

Zheng Xiaoli sighed softly, "Boss, it is precisely because I stand from a female perspective that I think the company should be more inclined towards gender equality in terms of policies and benefits."

"You are a strong woman, you can even control most men..."

"No, that's not the reason."

"That is?"

"I..." Zheng Xiaoli sighed again, "Boss, I have experienced this kind of thing personally. This is really not gender discrimination, nor is it the company's welfare is not good. I am a woman, but when I hire people, there are several people who

This time I had a special explanation with HR, saying that this position is quite special and only male employees are recruited."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "The workload is too heavy, do you have to work overtime constantly?"

Zheng Xiaoli said: "It is indeed because of work. Of course, I do not rule out that there are many outstanding female employees. They have strong fighting spirit and strong mental willpower. They are no worse than male employees. However, compared to male employees, the probability is lower after all.

Some."

Zhou Buqi said "hmm".

This is like the recruitment of a large company, which has to select candidates from 985,211 colleges and universities.

It’s not that college students from ordinary universities are not as good as they are.

In fact, there are many outstanding talents in society who have graduated from ordinary universities or even have not attended university.

But this is a question of probability.

By selecting talents from 985 and 211 colleges and universities, the probability of recruiting excellent talents is higher. The company's trial and error cost is lower, which can save money and efficiency.

Zheng Xiaoli sighed and said: "I know, boss, you have a big picture. The company is willing to provide more trial and error costs and provide higher workplace benefits to support women in the workplace. However, when it comes to individuals and every group unit,

No one wants to bear the cost of such trial and error. You have such a big picture, not everyone has it. If you look at yourself, I can't do it."

Because Zhou Buqi had talked to her about pregnancy and miscarriage before, and expressed deep concern, which moved Zheng Xiaoli very much. At the same time, it also narrowed the distance between her and her boss, and she felt that the big boss was approachable.

Therefore, the subsequent communication will be more open and honest.

Zheng Xiaoli talked about her workplace experience, "I was promoted from product director to vice president of product in February this year. At that time, there were four other colleagues competing for this position with me, all of them were excellent, and they were all men. I had to

Admit it, I have the gender advantage."

Zhou Buqi immediately comforted her and said with a smile: "You are too worried. The company will not promote you just because you are a woman. It must be because you are good enough."

Zheng Xiaoli smiled and said, "If they are equally outstanding, I still have a certain advantage in being promoted first."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi was noncommittal.

This is true.

For IT companies, there are relatively few female executives. Domestic companies are okay, such as large companies in South Korea and Japan. If you can see one or two women among the top executives, it is an outstanding company.

This kind of atmosphere is actually not good.

The more talented and outstanding employees are, the higher their spiritual level is. If there are too few women in the company's senior management, it will appear that the company's spiritual level is too low, and it only cares about making money and lacks humanistic care and social care.

Responsibility will make many employees...including male employees feel disappointed in the company.

Therefore, when domestic IT companies recruit, promote, and promote, women have more or less priority. If there are two employees, one male and one female, and they have similar abilities and similar comprehensive indicators, female employees are often given priority.

But even this is far from enough.

The middle and senior management are basically all men, and it would be good if the proportion of women can reach 25%.

Zheng Xiaoli's tone was lighter, somewhat self-deprecating, "At that time, I was able to get promoted... Of course, to a certain extent, this was indeed reasonable, because of my performance and various indicators, as well as my ability to unite my colleagues.

, the communication between superiors and subordinates is better than that of several other colleagues.”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Of course, you are good enough!"

Zheng Xiaoli said: "It is also a gender advantage. Because I am a woman, I dare to use male employees more boldly. The other four colleagues are all men. They should not pay too much attention to male employees and always take care of them outside of normal work.

Female employees are not selected and assigned tasks based on the job itself, they are mixed with gender factors."

Zhou Buqi was silent.

This is a difficult topic to talk about, it's too politically incorrect.

Zheng Xiaoli can say this. She is a woman, but Zhou Buqi cannot say nonsense. Just like black people can make fun of niggas, it is discrimination when others say it.

However, outstanding women like Zheng Xiaoli have long since passed the level of simple and superficial gender distinctions and low-level discrimination. Excellent people can not only accept the ridicule of others, but even take the initiative to laugh at themselves.

Zheng Xiaoli said: "I am a woman, so when I communicate with my superiors, everyone will respect me more. Even if I face some male colleagues who have a rough work attitude, they will give me face. This allows me to

I got full marks for 'unity with colleagues'. At the same time, I can use male subordinates more boldly, only based on their work ability and nothing else."

After a pause, she continued: "When I first started working, there were many female employees under me, and I also thought about using my power as a leader to help them. However, if I helped them, my business score would be low.

It seems that my business ability is not good enough. With male employees, I can use them as cattle and horses, and scold them as much as I want. I can even arrange some very stressful tasks and use them purely from a work perspective.

to treat them."

Zhou Buqi remained silent.

There is also somewhat little that can be done about it.

Let alone Zheng Xiaoli, he couldn't handle this kind of thing if it happened to him.

Take this Zheng Xiaoli for example. She had a miscarriage, and Zhou Buqi called her to the office to comfort her, encourage her, and give her spiritual comfort.

Also last month, He Yang's wife had a car accident and broke several ribs. She is still lying in the hospital. He has to run to the hospital every day.

However, almost no one mentioned this kind of thing in the company. A big man should work harder and suffer a little. Zhou Buqi just said a simple greeting and said nothing else.

The treatment is completely different from that of Zheng Xiaoli.

When Zheng Xiaoli opened up the topic, she became very calm and said calmly: "Later, I gained experience and used a large number of male employees when selecting people, and I didn't use female employees if I could. Then, my performance improved and became more and more popular."

The better I get, the better I am, and I will continue to be promoted as I am far ahead of my colleagues at the same level. In fact, I know that this is my gender advantage. Other male managers dare not use women

Employees, I dare. Even if I use it, no one will say that I am sexist. In fact, I really do not discriminate against women. I am a woman. Why am I discriminating? It is really because female employees have too many troubles, falling in love, and breaking up.

My parents are sick, I am feeling unwell during my period, I had a quarrel with my colleagues, the rent is due... there are too many emotional things that have nothing to do with work that will affect the entire team."

Zhou Buqi said: "Equality between men and women should not mean treating men and women with the same standards, but should use a series of welfare policies to allow men and women to reach the same standard."

Zheng Xiaoli sighed softly: "Boss, I know you mean well, but menstrual leave benefits really cannot be provided. It will only make it worse for women in the workplace. There are 10 people in a team, and if female employees increase menstrual leave, it will mean that the team

There are several days every month where there is a shortage of people. The more female employees there are, the lack of team fighting capacity will be doubled. People will be even less willing to use female employees, and there will be fewer employment opportunities for women. Unless they can be like

Like European and American countries, additional subsidies will be provided at the national level."
