Fang Hanmin's words reflected the actual situation of the grassroots employees of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, but they made the chief engineer Lao Xia unhappy. In order to calm Mr. Xia's anger, he quickly explained that he did not mean to belittle the grassroots employees at all.
This explanation calmed Lao Xia's mood, but made Deputy Director Wang, who was in charge of production, even more blunt. "Comrade Fang Hanmin, how many days have you been here? It has been more than 20 years since the establishment of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory. Do you think they are culturally unscrupulous?" With low quality and no scientific literacy, without these grassroots workers, would the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory be possible today?"
"Director Wang, that's not what I meant. I just said that the quality of all grassroots employees needs to be improved. I am not belittling them." Fang Hanmin blushed and defended himself.
"Okay, you are just a temporary worker yourself. Now that you have some status, you look down on the grassroots workers. Your ideology is wrong!"
Factory Director Yuan couldn't stand Lao Wang's introduction to the plan like this, "You guys should stop here. Even the ideology has come out. In a few years ago, if we continued to talk about it, we would be in trouble! I think Comrade Hanmin His intention was good, and he did not mean to belittle anyone. It is a fact that grassroots employees have made great contributions to Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, but he said that the overall quality of employees needs to be improved, and there is nothing wrong with this, because one moment and another moment Just because they were able to adapt to work needs in the past does not mean that they can also adapt to future jobs. If there is no training for the new technology used in the first and second workshops, how many people can adapt to the new jobs? "
If Deputy Director Wang and President Xia are allowed to play a double act, their combined efforts will not only severely dampen Fang Hanmin's work enthusiasm, but the future of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory will also be ruined in their hands. Fortunately, Director Yuan upheld justice, and his words made Lao Wang and Lao Xia stop chatting with Fang Hanmin.
The scene just now was obviously off topic. Factory Director Yuan reminded everyone to return to the theme of the meeting, "Next, please ask the Human Resources Department to make arrangements for the study and training of redundant personnel."
Hou, the head of the Human Resources Department, fully supported Fang Hanmin's ideas and suggestions. After some thought, he said: "Let me talk about my preliminary ideas. In order to meet the needs of all employees in the factory to improve their scientific and cultural literacy, I suggest the establishment of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory Education Center. This institution In addition to normal education and training for employees, it can also provide assistance to those employees who have enthusiasm or interest in spare time learning. Of course, the primary task of the education center is to provide training services for laid-off workers in the first workshop."
This suggestion was immediately approved by Director Yuan, "Establishing an education center? This is a good suggestion. The education level of grassroots employees is generally low. The factory can provide them with timely training. In addition, it can also open night schools and other part-time study classes. , adopting a voluntary principle to provide a learning environment for employees who are interested in improving their cultural level."
"The idea of establishing an education center is good. After all, Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory is an enterprise with thousands of employees. In addition to meeting the normal training needs of employees, there are also some employees who want to improve their cultural level. The factory provides them with such a place. It can be considered that it has fulfilled its responsibility. However, whether employees are undergoing normal training or part-time study, there must be teachers, right? How to solve the problem of teachers?" As the chief engineer, Lao Xia supports the establishment of an education center.
"Well... I haven't thought about it yet." Section Chief Hou was asked.
Fang Hanmin considered this issue when he proposed the temporary placement of surplus personnel in the first workshop: "Whether it is about to start training for surplus personnel or the future education center, the problem of teachers is mainly solved in the factory. If there are really no resources, we can hire them from the society." .”
"How should we solve the problem in the factory? Is there no need to spend money to hire someone from the public?" Deputy Factory Director Wang always wants to be content with the status quo. He believes that these things are just asking for trouble.
"Speaking of which, even if we don't count the retired old scientific and technological personnel, there are still thirty or forty college graduates working in Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory. We can check the specialties of these scientific and technological personnel through the personnel files, such as mathematics and physics in their student days. Then select mathematics, physics and chemistry teachers based on their specialties. If you really can’t select, hire some from the society. I think the money is worth spending, and Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory can save these two dollars from anywhere. ." Fang Hanmin is the technical section chief. Since he is attending this meeting, he wants to say everything he needs to say.
"You asked our factory's scientific and technical personnel to teach and quit the job at hand?"
"As far as I know, most of the scientific and technical personnel in the factory work in government offices, and there are very few who actually have technical work at hand. Everyone knows that the scientific and technical personnel in government departments are basically doing For administrative work, asking them to teach one or two lectures to training classes or study classes every day is not a difficult task. We have more than ten senior scientific and technical personnel in the technical department, and they are completely idle. Of course, in order to encourage the teachers to If they are motivated, the factory can provide them with appropriate subsidies.”
"Chief Fang's method can solve most of the teachers' problems, but how to check their attendance? For example, if someone gives a physics class to the training class from 9 to 10 in the morning, should he return to work after class, or should he return to work after class? You don’t have to go to work all day?”
Factory Director Yuan said first: "Of course I have to go back to work. It would be so easy to go home after one or two classes every day! In order to encourage their enthusiasm in preparing lessons, I agree with Comrade Hanmin's suggestion and provide appropriate subsidies to the teachers." "
"Although training laid-off workers is a good idea, I'm afraid some workers won't listen to it! You should know that these surplus workers who have been eliminated are workers with very poor cultural foundation." Su Wenquan, director of the first workshop, said with concern.
"You have to listen even if you don't listen! Anyway, don't be in a hurry. The worst thing you can do is ask the teacher to speak slower so that most people can understand."
"The problem is that some people don't like studying by nature. They simply suffer when they sit in class. How can you make them listen?"
Factory Director Yuan nodded, "There may be the kind of people you mentioned, but you have to make it clear to them that it is their task to let the surplus personnel receive cultural courses while they are waiting for work. They should know that if they cannot complete their tasks, , what will be the consequences? If there is someone who really regards learning as suffering, then he is not suitable to stay in a production position, but should be a cleaner!"...
The training and examination organized by Jiang Guoxin and Xu Hui ended. According to the requirements of the new process, some employees who did not meet the conditions were eliminated and became redundant personnel, a total of thirty-seven people.
Knowing that they had become redundant employees of the company, some of the laid-off employees went to the workshop director. Su Wenquan simply pushed him out, "You have been eliminated, it has nothing to do with me. Fang Hanmin from the technical department has the final say on this matter. If you think If you are not willing to give in, you should go find him."
Sure enough, more than 30 employees couldn't help but swarmed into Fang Hanmin's office, filling the office with water. Fang Hanmin looked at these half-familiar faces and asked, "What do you do?"
"We are workers in a workshop, and we are here to seek an explanation from you!"
"What kind of explanation are you asking for?" Fang Hanmin was confused.
"It was you who eliminated our positions. From now on, we will have no classes. What do you think we should do?"
"We are veteran employees of the first workshop. We have worked in Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory for more than ten years. After all your troubles, we are now laid off. You have to give us an explanation."
"The company knew that our cultural level was low from the day we started work, and it has been fine for so many years. When we came to your place, we were trained and tested, and we were eliminated. How did we offend you?"
"We were originally workers in the first workshop, and now you, a technician, have made us so embarrassed. You, a young man, must have been too lenient!"...
Everyone was talking, and of course Fang Hanmin understood. These people came to him to make trouble because they did not meet the requirements for employment. Fang Hanmin stood up and faced everyone, "Are you finished? Listen to me after you finish speaking."
"We are here to explain to you," a middle-aged male employee in his forties with a rough appearance shouted in the crowd, "Everyone, be quiet! Listen to what he has to say."
"Go ahead, we're all listening." A short-haired female worker in her thirties squeezed forward.
After the crowd calmed down completely, Fang Hanmin cleared his throat and said: "First of all, let me make it clear that the process transformation of the first workshop is a unified deployment to promote the technological progress of the entire plant. It is not my personal or technical department's opinion, nor do we have any You have the right to do that, so everyone thinks that I lost your position, but in fact that is not the case, and everyone has wronged me."
"We don't listen to your excuse. The fact is that our jobs are gone. Isn't this your fault?" the short-haired female worker asked.
"The technical department is only the executor of the technological progress plan of the whole factory. I am the chief of the technical department. If you insist that I caused you to lose your jobs, I have no other choice but to feel aggrieved."
"You still feel aggrieved? Our jobs are gone, who can we complain to?" the rude male employee said in frustration.
"To be precise, your jobs in the first workshop are gone. I admit this is a fact, but it does not mean that you have nothing to do in the whole factory." Fang Hanmin said calmly.
"Don't keep talking to us. We are uneducated and can't understand your roundabout ways. What do you mean by 'it doesn't mean there is nothing to do in the whole factory'?" The short-haired female worker has a sharp personality and speaks straightforwardly.
Fang Hanmin thought for a while, "This matter should have been held by the temporary headquarters for you to formally explain to everyone the policies specially formulated by the factory. Since you have come to me to prosecute, I will inform you of the factory's policies in advance. Please spread the word."
Fang Hanmin conveyed the factory’s plan for training redundant personnel and related supporting policies to the on-site workers, “We have long reported the situation that everyone is facing to the factory. The factory leaders are very concerned about everyone’s situation and have held a special meeting to study this. , and formulated a series of policies and measures. This is what I mean when I say, 'Losing a job in the first workshop does not mean that there is nothing to do in the whole factory.'"
"Let us participate in training? You can't imagine that! Do you know the cultural foundation of us people?" someone in the crowd opposite said.
"Needless to say? Precisely because we know that your cultural foundation is poor, the factory organized you to participate in cultural studies during your temporary layoff. The purpose is to improve your cultural quality and lay the foundation for re-employment in the future. It should be said that the factory is You guys are very thoughtful, what’s wrong with that?”
"Chief Fang," the short-haired female worker was unwilling to address Fang Hanmin's position because she was very angry, but through the conversations she had with him, she felt that this man was not as bad as the legends and imaginations, "your starting point Maybe it is good, but we people have not studied for a few years in total. Over the years, we have long given back to the teachers the little knowledge we learned when we were children. Now we are asked to study cultural classes, and both we and the teachers are struggling. "
Fang Hanmin knew what the other party meant, "Isn't it just that the foundation is poor and the acceptance is slow? We have all thought of these realities. In order to allow everyone to learn, the relevant person in charge of the Human Resources Department will ask the teacher to slow down the progress and do their best to allow everyone to learn. Understand."
