Chapter Seventy-Two: Night Shift
When it comes to the departmental setting and personnel arrangement of Chongwenmen Hotel, it is more state-run.
It also better reflects the superiority of the system at that time.
First of all, on the big side, there are almost no temporary workers in the unit.
Even if it is a stevedore, even if it is a cleaner, even if it is a dishwasher, sweeper, or toilet cleaner, it is all a formal employee.
And the point is that no matter how hard and tired the post is, it can become neither bitter nor tired.
Nothing else, the secret is only that there are many people.
Obviously one person can do the work, with three people to share, who can complain about being tired?
Secondly, there is also a difference between the names of our state-run hotels and the hotels of Western capitalist countries.
Although it is divided into the front office department, the housekeeping department, the catering department, the engineering department, the finance department, and the administration department.
There are also managers in every department.
But further down the line, it's different.
There are no supervisors or foremen in the state-run hotels.
The grassroots cadres who can be benchmarked with supervisors and foremen are the team leader and deputy team leader.
For example, the political work group and logistics group that Ning Weimin has found in the entry procedures are all subordinate to the Administration Department.
The front office department is the same, which is divided into the reception group and the business group, which can also be referred to as a group and a second group.
The function of the reception team is mainly responsible for leading the daily layout of the conference room, cooperating with the inspection work of the competent department, and recording the delivery of messages, letters and newspapers.
The functions of the management team are to handle the check-in and check-out procedures of passengers, telephone reservation business and train ticket purchasing business.
If you don't count the cashiers who are in charge and the finance department.
If all the grassroots workers are combined, there are 17 people.
In addition, the grouping of these two groups is not so rigid, except that the team leader and deputy team leader remain unchanged, and the grassroots workers can be replaced with each other.
You can imagine how easy it will be in this class when there are so many surplus personnel.
In fact, except for the night shift, which is arranged for two people on duty.
Whether it is an early or middle class, there are at least five people in each class in the front office.
At the busiest time of the day, there were almost twelve people sharing the work, and the workload was simply minimal.
So for the people in the front office, most of the time there is nothing to do.
Whether it's chatting, reading newspapers, reading magazines, eating snacks, or even hanging out on posts, run to other departments to wander.
As long as you don't go too far, it's all up to you.
It's just that even Ning Weimin is counted, and there are only three men in the entire front office department, and those two have been "welded" in the night shift post for almost a long time.
So naturally it goes without saying that the work of turning on the water every morning must be Ning Weimin.
In addition, as a newcomer, he also has to take over some chores that others think are trivial.
For example, go to the warehouse to pick up some office supplies and bills.
Or dealing with people in the post office, delivering newspapers to the leader's office and distributing letters to various departments every day.
It's a bit like the old man in the mailroom doing errands.
But even so, he still has a lot of free time, and Ning Weimin has fully realized the original intention of coming here - a comfortable and comfortable life.
It's just that the world will not be so perfect after all, and there are some distortions between reality and imagination.
There are some small troubles that Ning Weimin did not expect, that is, gender differences.
As the saying goes, three women in one play.
He staged four big dramas around him every day, and gathered the "Twelve Golden Hairpins", think about how lively it must be.
Just these big girls and little daughters-in-law, everyone regards him as the target of ridicule, and from time to time they "drive".
It's really like a little brother who doesn't understand anything.
But the problem is that he actually understands everything, what is this like?
It's not okay to ignore it, it's not okay to blush when you open your mouth, and it's not okay to really make some incomprehensible thoughts.
This blessing of staying in the nest of beauties is not so easy to bear.
Fortunately, after experiencing the baptism of work for more than half a month, a colleague who worked the night shift had a fever and took a drip.
Ning Weimin was transferred to the night shift in advance and began to partner with another male colleague.
Now he was freed, and he was completely clean.
He really didn't expect that the errand he was most unwilling to take at the beginning would now turn into an opportunity to save him.
And to be honest, you only know the benefits of night shifts when you work night shifts.
Because no one will ask to stay in a hotel at night these days, and the latest train at Beijing Railway Station is ten o'clock.
Therefore, even for the morning and middle shifts, the workload of the night shift in the front office department is pitiful.
Those on night duty do not even need to provide morning service, but only to deal with occasional emergencies.
For example, if a customer is suddenly ill and needs to contact an ambulance.
For example, if the room leaks water or loses power, you have to notify the engineering department and allocate the room to the guest in time.
Another example is to cooperate with the public security department's inspection and arrest work.
Or if there is a fire, cooperate with the political work team and firefighters to do evacuation work.
In addition, at most, it is just to answer the outside phone call and record the message to the guest or the leader of the unit.
It can be used to read books, read newspapers, chat, or even play cards with employees in other departments, or sleep on the table and lie on a chair to pass the long and boring nights.
In addition, the unit also manages supper and breakfast, and subsidizes five cents for the night shift every day.
It's completely a beauty difference that you can earn money by eating and drinking enough and sleeping.
I'm afraid that there is no work in the entire capital, and it is more worry-free than doing this.
Staying up late hurts the body, of course, a little.
But young man, who would be afraid of bursting their liver until midnight?
What's more, sleeping on the table is also sleeping, it's just sleeping later, sleeping not so comfortable.
This flaw is nothing compared to the pay.
That is, going to work at night, the black lights are blind, the transportation is inconvenient, and it is not very convenient for female comrades.
Only male compatriots can share this blessing.
Ning Weimin even felt that if he was familiar with his new partner.
He occasionally sneaks out of work to go to the ghost market, which is not a problem.
The only thing that worries him a little is that he has given up a girl's position, which is likely to disappoint another male colleague and then resentment him.
However, on his first day of night shift, even this worry dissipated.
Because when I was the leader of the reception team, I introduced him to a new work partner.
The young man named Zhang Shihui, who was not a few years older than him, not only expressed his heartfelt welcome with a friendly smile.
Even after the team leader left, he was enthusiastic and thanked him as a savior.
"Thank you, dude. You're here, and you've saved me completely. ”
"Oh, don't be so polite. If you want to scare me away, you'll have to keep an eye on the night shift alone. ”
"Haha, no kidding, you'll understand as soon as I say it. Your top post, it was originally my object. The two of us talked on the night shift. But the bad thing is that from then on, she was not at ease with me working night shifts with others, so she had to accompany me. No, I accompanied myself to the hospital. You're here, let's partner up, and my partner can rest assured. And I can rotate, and I will see the light of day again, shouldn't I thank you?"
Ning Weimin understood that there was a romantic history of night shifts behind this incident, and the sadness of being a wandering god all year round.
"It should be, dare to love me for accumulating such a great merit. Then you can't just thank you, why don't you give me a pennant that says 'Helping others'." ”
As soon as he said this, both of the people who were talking to him were amused by each other.
Zhang Shihui took the initiative to hand over a cigarette, but her mouth was still poor.
"Hey, buddy, the pennant is the pennant, but you have to let me embroider slowly. As for now, let's get some affordability. Come, take a ......"
Ning Weimin said thank you and took it, but he didn't dare to order it like this.
"Dude, can you smoke here?"
Zhang Shihui didn't hesitate to do that, and directly struck a match to hand the fire to Ning Weimin.
"It's okay, it's not day shift, just be careful, don't do it......"
In the mist, he had already stood up from his seat and greeted with a big grin.
"Wait, I'll get an ashtray. By the way, I've got a high crush here. Where's your cup? You brush it first, and we'll both make a cup in a while, and then we'll talk about ......."
