544 [Layoffs]
After the acquisition contract was signed, a layoff notice issued by the former management of Jiayi TV Station and stamped appeared in front of the bulletin board of Jiayi TV Station.
In an instant, a stone caused a thousand waves!
There are about 800 people on Jiayi TV. This time, more than 90% of the employees will be laid off. Whether it is senior management or low-level cleaning staff, whether it is well-known artists or special actors, they are all within the cut, and none of them can be left behind.
Seeing this announcement, all the employees of Jiayi TV were in an uproar.
Many of them served in the company when Jiayi first started the station. They were veterans of the company. They sacrificed their lives and made immortal contributions to the construction of the TV station, but now they are discarded like garbage.
Years of hard work and years of love have disappeared at this moment, so of course they feel uncomfortable.
Some of them were poached from Wireless at the beginning of this year by Jiayi. They abandoned their jobs and resolutely devoted themselves to Jiayi. They wanted to achieve something, but now they are about to be swept out. They have betrayed Wireless, and now they are abandoned by Jiayi. Where can they go in the future?!
These people also want an explanation!
Therefore, after the announcement was posted, almost all the employees of Jiayi TV Station were annoyed and found the office of General Manager Li Xuelu and asked him to give everyone an explanation.
...
"Mr. Li, why did the TV station lay off major jobs? We have all been laid off. Who will make a show for you and who will shoot a TV series for you?" Producer Lin Lingdong asked angrily, and he was also on the list of the sacks.
"Mr. Li, we have made so many contributions to the company, and there are hard work without credit. Are you just treating us like this?" Chief News anchor He Jue-yo asked sternly, "Didn't you talk about any friendship?"
"Mr. Li, when you dug us over, you said you would fight with Wireless! Now you are sweeping us out. You talk so much and you have no credit. Are you not afraid of lightning strikes?" He Shouren, who was supervising the production department and jumped from Wireless, shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Everyone, don't be excited, please calm down." Li Xuelu explained to everyone, "I know I lost my job this time and I feel very depressed. I also sympathize and understand everyone.
So I try my best to get severance payments for everyone. In addition to this month’s company, each person will receive another two months of salary as compensation for the layoffs.”
"We don't need to compensate, we have to work!" The artist representative Zheng Yuling shouted. She is a graduate of the first phase of the Jiayi Artist Training Class. After a year of being a supporting role, she just made a name for herself with "The History of Celebrity Love" and "The Golden Sword Love Hero" this year, but now she is going to be fired from Taiwan again.
Even if Li is willing to take her in, she still has to start from low. If the God of Luck no longer favors her, she may only be able to play some small roles in this life and be a green leaf actor for the rest of her life. How can she be willing to do this?
"Yes, we don't need to compensate, we have to work!" Other employees shouted as they heard her shouting.
Three months of severance payments sound like a lot, but there are always times when they are exhausted. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. No matter how much money you have, it is not as good as a job.
"Don't shout, everyone. It's not that the Taiwanese people don't want to keep you, but because the Taiwanese people want to transform and will no longer produce dramas or programs in the future, so you have no development when you stay." Li Xuelu waved his hand and said.
"If you don't shoot dramas, don't shoot shows?! What will the TV station play?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"Everyone, I'm not good at revealing any more situations now. In short, Jiayi will transform soon. You will not develop if you stay here." Li Xuelu called again, "I suggest that you just take the severance fee and go to the next house as soon as possible. Fortunately, the Xiangjiang film and television industry is developing rapidly now, and it is time to hire people. You should not worry about not being able to find a job."
"What's the point of saying this? It seems that it's easy to find a job! If it's so easy, why don't you quit as the general manager?"
"I have a job every day on the TV station, a basic salary and a monthly salary. Can I have a job every day when I make a movie? If I can't find a job in a month or two, who will support us?!"
"Give us back our job, otherwise we will quit together. Why does it mean that we are the only ones who are in trouble in the company?!"
Everyone shouted indignation.
Seeing this, Li Xuelu had to persuade him with great sincerity.
In fact, he doesn't want to lay off employees, but Jiayi does not need to use too many people to transform into a shopping channel.
In addition to the professional and technical personnel required to maintain the equipment, some photographers, lighting artists, makeup artists, props, hosts, etc., can be done in a team of about ten people. In addition, some managers and marketers only need for forty people.
As the general manager of Jiayi, after his transformation, he didn't even have a dedicated secretary.
Because if you keep one more person, you will have to pay an extra salary. The reason why Jiayi TV went bankrupt was because it was not enough to make ends meet. If you raise a few more idle people, you may not be able to escape the fate of liquidation.
So instead of long pain, it is better to have short pain.
...
But Li Xuelu's advice did not work at all.
On that day, there was no employee who had completed the resignation procedures. Everyone gathered in the general manager's office and asked Li Xuelu to take back his life so that everyone could save their jobs.
Li Xuelu was also helpless.
This matter has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to fire everyone's squid. Now that he has fallen into this field, he is completely driven to the shelves.
But he really can't do it if he doesn't want to do it. Otherwise, Ye Jin would fire it together with him. At that time, he would have to find a job again.
So for himself and for these employees, he must make up his mind to carry out the layoffs to the end.
"Issue another announcement. Those who resign today can receive three months of severance payments. Those who resign tomorrow can only receive two months of severance payments. Those who resign the day after tomorrow can only receive one month of severance payments. Those who resign the day after tomorrow can not receive a penny of severance payments." Li Xuelu ordered the Finance Department.
Given that these employees are so united and no one is willing to go through the resignation procedures, he has to adopt the method of dividing and conquering.
The 800 employees of Jiayi actually have different situations. There are stars who have become famous and famous, and there are also special actors with no reputation; there are senior managers with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan, and there are also cleaning staff with a monthly salary of over 500 yuan...
It is actually not difficult to find a home for those big stars on the top floor. It seems that Michelle, Bai Biao, Luo Lelin, Wei Qiuhua, etc., have been poached by Youtai before, and some film companies have invited them to film, so they don’t have to worry about having nowhere to go after they leave.
Those special actors actually don’t have to worry about work. Because they are supporting actors, they can play supporting roles in Jiayi, and in Wireless and Li’s.
The most troublesome thing is actually the actors located in the middle. They just became a little famous, and this fame is not enough to make them enter the film industry or attract attention on friendly stations, so they suffer the most heavy losses.
Given that they each have their own ideas and demands, they are not completely unified. Therefore, after the new announcement was launched, a group of people were afraid of getting less money, so they went to go through the resignation procedures first. After seeing this, the other people were inevitably shaken and they followed the resignation procedures.
By the next day, there were only more than 200 people who could persevere, and seven or eight out of ten employees had chosen to leave.
Chapter completed!
