"The employer does not pay any wages during the internship. In addition, the interns have to pay tuition fees to the employer as students!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly became audible.
At this moment, no one believes his or her ears. This kind of thing like not being paid for work but also giving money to others has happened decades ago in the era of brutal expansion of capital, but it has never happened since the unification of the world and the birth of the New Federation. This strange thing happened.
The reason is simple. When the global political system is in chaos, economic globalization means globalization of competition. Each country will inevitably give preferential treatment or even indulgence to its own companies. Otherwise, its own companies are likely to be unable to survive in the market at that time.
Once you give up this kind of regional protection and open up the country, you will understand the consequences if you look at Brazil in history.
It is obviously a big country of coffee and food, but its citizens cannot afford to drink a cup of coffee. This is the result of complete free rein. The domestic market was wiped out by foreign capital, which took advantage of the situation to directly control all of Brazil's means of production.
However, this kind of policy tilt will inevitably cause some companies to become arrogant and favored. Taking advantage of the fact that there are people above him, he does some extraordinary things.
It’s just that in today’s world of global unification, all companies will be subject to the management of the new federation. Whether they are competing or fighting, the meat will rot in the pot regardless of success or failure. Do we still need such shameless and partial companies?
After a brief shock, there was a commotion in the crowd.
"You have no salary for a year and you still have to pay for it? Are you kidding..."
"Has Vice Mayor Cui been recharged?"
"Get a hammer. In this case, it's better to use the compensation money to calculate the ball."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, if you can continue to work, you will definitely have better living security than just receiving a compensation. It's just that this year of no salary and subsidy is a bit difficult. After all, everyone is old..."
If everyone is still young, if there are no elderly people at home to take care of, and no children to raise, then it will be over if you are alone.
But...
Let a group of middle-aged people, burdened with the pressure of family responsibilities, have no output for a year and spend a lot of money to fight for a job that they can only apply for, is actually equivalent to not having this choice.
Zhang Changfeng suppressed his temper and asked one word at a time through a loudspeaker: "Is this decision the final decision of the city hall?"
Compared with others in the parade, Zhang Changfeng had obviously more on his mind.
When looking at the decisions above, we don’t want to see what they said, but to judge what is hidden under these choices and means.
That represents the fundamental attitude, or perspective, of the decision-makers towards the entire lower class.
If allowing companies to recruit employees by paying for work is a decision made by the entire city hall, it means that the entire lower class in City 18 will be abandoned...
Faced with Zhang Changfeng's question, Vice Mayor Cui responded simply and directly: "I can tell you responsibly that the compensation plan for employees laid off due to AI is the unified decision-making of our city hall."
"No possibility of change?"
Vice Mayor Cui said sincerely: "You can choose to take the compensation directly."
Seeing Vice Mayor Cui's resolute attitude, the mentality of the people around him gradually changed.
From the beginning, you must keep your job, and gradually it changes to maybe taking the money and leaving.
After all, three hundred thousand is not a small amount, it is equivalent to four or five years of salary for most people. With this money, you can still live on by doing a small business. Who says you have to go to work?
The whispers of his subordinates were naturally heard by Zhang Changfeng.
A short-sighted sigh flashed through his heart.
Now that the city hall has decided to abandon this group of people, how can it be possible for them to get a huge sum of three hundred thousand yuan in full?
For a group that has no labor value and has been eliminated from the production sequence, even if you are given 300,000 yuan, when you actually use it again, it is probably less than 30,000 yuan!
Without enough time to explain the reasoning to others, Zhang Changfeng could only defend himself to Vice Mayor Cui: "...We, our workers and friends, have worked hard for decades and have contributed to the development of City 18. The city hall is so... Wouldn’t it be too chilling to do it?”
Vice Mayor Cui sighed and shook his head: "The two arrangements and compensation are the best efforts the city hall can do."
"Taking a step back, you have indeed contributed to the development of City 18, but you have also received due remuneration for your work, haven't you?"
"You..." Zhang Changfeng's hand holding the loudspeaker exposed the veins: "How can that meager salary fully compensate for everyone's work?"
"Oh?" Vice Mayor Cui said with a smile: "Then how much salary do you think you can get to be worthy of your job?"
Zhang Changfeng was about to speak, but was interrupted by Vice Mayor Cui: "I see that you are also a highly educated person. You should have heard of the 80/20 rule in the workplace, right?"
"For a company, only 20 to 30% of its employees are actually creating benefits, and most of the remaining employees are just killing time."
"Ask yourselves with your conscience, are your wages in the past few years really not worthy of your efforts?"
Vice Mayor Cui's voice became louder and louder, and the last sentence exploded in the crowd, which was really deafening.
For a time, everyone subconsciously began to recall the status of their work. As a result, everyone discovered that in the same working environment, there were indeed people who did much better than themselves.
Are you really a bastard? In the past, was it possible to find a job and get that salary all because of charity from the boss?
"It would be nice to get some compensation, but I have to fight for a job..."
“The city hall won’t go back on its word and not even give the money, right?”
"Don't say 300,000, give me 200,000 now and I'll be satisfied..."
"Oh...it would be great if Chang Lin were here..."
Seeing that people's hearts were about to disperse, Zhang Changfeng was extremely anxious: "You are secretly changing the concept!"
"Ha~"
Vice Mayor Cui shook his head with a smile, handed the loudspeaker to his secretary, turned around and walked off the platform.
His goal has been achieved, and continuing to entangle will only lower his status.
The rest is left to the secretary to discuss.
Zhang Changfeng watched Vice Mayor Cui walk off the platform and walked out of the crowd under the protection of the security personnel of No. 1 Middle School. He wanted to stop him, but found that he didn't know what to say.
Vice Mayor Cui's remarks took the moral high ground, and the workers became worried about gains and losses.
At this moment, Zhang Changfeng knew that the march he and his elder brother had worked so hard to organize was a complete failure.
"Chang Lin...brother, where are you now..."
