Chapter 45: Touching the Fish
Seeing that the press conference was about to end, Shi Xiaoai quickly slipped out and ran to the bathroom first.
I came to help early in the morning, and I didn't have time to go to the toilet because of an emergency.
Unfortunately, this floor is full. The women's toilet is so prosperous.
Shi Xiaoai waited in line for a while, and heard that there were people playing games, sending messages, and making phone calls...... Sure enough, the toilet is the last space for modern people to be alone.
It's no wonder that someone has come up with a special office toilet strategy. Roughly speaking, if you pick up work time and squat for about 15 minutes every day, it is equivalent to 5-7 days of paid vacation in a year!
There are also colleagues who smoke, in groups of three or five, swallowing clouds and spitting fog in the corridor, chatting awkwardly. There are even those who go downstairs and walk two laps, which is said not to pollute the air in the office building and to be high-quality smokers. Anyway, most bosses are also very addicted to cigarettes, and can understand the urgent need to come to two from time to time.
In contrast, the fishing of women in the workplace is not so easy to understand.
Shi Xiaoai still remembers that when she joined the company, Sister Wei from the technical department was already in the third stage of pregnancy, with a big belly, swollen legs, and she needed to move around more every day. So in the morning and afternoon, she had to take time to go downstairs with a few pregnant mothers.
Julie from the customer department has just returned to the company after maternity leave, is breastfeeding, and has to hide in the conference room every day to pump milk. At that time, TP did not have a mother and baby room, and there were many women in the customer department, and slowly the breastfeeding mothers upstairs and downstairs were used to gathering in the conference room on this floor at a certain point.
The Human Resources and Administration Department has recruited a male manager who is responsible for attendance. I don't know if he's really ignorant, or if it's a straight man with advanced cancer, or if he's just trying to make a mark as soon as possible. The male manager actually picked on pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.
In fact, everyone knows that when women in these special periods get together, there must be endless topics to talk about. Those who have not given birth talk about pregnancy feelings, prenatal examination results, and waiting for childbirth equipment;
The more people there are, the longer the delay. Sometimes the head of the department can't find anyone, and he will half-jokingly remind him.
But everyone can understand it. It is almost impossible for female employees to not be affected during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, so the general company will not favor them in promotion, salary increase and bonus benefits during this period.
What's more, everyone knows that such women are not only protected by the law, but also favored by public opinion. Who is fed and will provoke them?
Well, there are indeed "head-on" ones.
The male manager has put in place a set of monitoring measures, and has specially arranged for people to conduct irregular attendance checks for pregnant women and nursing mothers, as well as statistics on the number of times they enter and leave the building and the time they go out.
Of course, he also knew that it could not be completely banned, so after a visit and investigation, pregnant women and lactating mothers were allowed to rest once in the morning and once in the afternoon, with a time limit of 10 minutes each time. Everyone is not allowed to gather in one time slot, and everyone is asked to come to his place to register for a break in advance.
As soon as this regulation came out, it caused a sensation in TP at that time. It happened that Jin Ruisha was on a business trip again during that time, and there was a leak in her work, so she didn't notice this.
Sister Wei, who is usually very low-key, didn't say anything, but just "implemented" the new policy with practical actions.
If a meeting is being held, Sister Wei will flash people directly, on the grounds that the rest time stipulated by the administration has arrived. If someone looks for her and talks halfway through, she says she will leave and continue to talk?
All of the above is really too gentle.
On the first day of the new regulations, Julie took the breast pump, rushed to the male manager's workstation, threw the milk bag on his desk, and smashed it directly on the laptop, and the screen went black at that time.
"Come, can you show me how to pump milk in ten minutes?" said Julie, bringing a chair and sitting down, crossing Erlang's legs.
A group of lactating mothers followed one after another, some of them were originally just joining in the fun, but when they saw Julie so strong, their combat effectiveness was instantly ignited, and the crowd was excited, and they all surrounded the male manager in the middle.
"Why? no, do you want me to teach you?" asked Julie, aggressively.
"Even if he could, he would have to produce it?" someone in the crowd said. It's a bit vulgar, but everyone listens to it really cool and laughs.
Most of the other employees in the human resources and administration department are little girls, and they are also disgusted by the new rules in terms of women's natural motherhood. At the beginning, there was a lot of opposition from internal discussions.
Now that something happened, everyone was happy to see it, pretending to persuade them on the periphery, and no one really rushed in to save the male manager from fire and water.
Several of them were still being pulled by mothers to cry, and they had to find a place to rest for the pregnant women who heard the news, and they were very busy.
Later, thanks to the planning and creative department and the marketing department on the eighth floor, they also took action. Zhuang Fei and Chu Lixin, the female managers who had given birth, came forward and persuaded the mothers away.
In the next few days, it is not known whether the new rules will be implemented. To be honest, try to control the time within the specified range, which is really exceeded, not much. If you are a little more public, what should you do or what, let it go, it's a big deal to see you in court.
I didn't see any movement from the male manager. Everyone thought that was the end of the matter.
A week later, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The TP building is decorated with a very festive atmosphere, with a big moon and beautiful Chang'e everywhere. The activity group also invited some employees' family members to visit. Julie's husband also came with his eight-month-old child in his arms.
Mrs. Fu led a group of executives' wives to distribute mooncakes to everyone and take group photos, the atmosphere was very warm, and the theme of "TP is my home" was successfully achieved.
A deputy Dong wife hugged her eldest grandson, which was the period when the next generation of relatives and grandmothers were overflowing.
When she saw Julie's chubby son, she couldn't help pinching her little face and teasing her, and chatted with Julie: How many pounds were you born with? Birth or caesarean section? Breast milk or milk powder? When she heard that the child has been eating breast milk, Mrs. Dong was very happy, saying that breast milk is good, and now young people want to save trouble, so they love to feed milk powder, fortunately their daughter-in-law is obedient, and she also feeds breast milk to her child.
As she spoke, Julie began to shed tears.
"Yo, what's wrong?" asked Mrs. Deputy Dong hurriedly.
"I also want to breastfeed my son until he is two years old. ”
"I know this, the expert said, as long as you can feed it, you can feed it until you are three years old. "As a grandmother in the new era, Mrs. Vice Dong has stored enough knowledge of contemporary parenting.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to feed it for that long. Julie began to shed tears again, hugged her son tightly, and rubbed against her son's face, "My poor child, it is estimated that at the end of this month, he can only eat milk powder." ”
"Don't be afraid, I'll give you a few recipes for milking, which will be useful for safekeeping. ”
"My milk is fine, it's just, if it doesn't come out, it's going to come back. ”
"Why don't you squeeze it? You also buy a bag with an ice pack, squeeze it out and put it in the refrigerator, and take it home after work." I remember you had a refrigerator in your office on every floor. Mrs. Deputy Dong turned around, grabbed Meng Lingge, the director of the activity group who happened to be passing by, and asked, "Xiao Meng, you have a refrigerator in the staff lounge, right?"
"Yes, both. Meng Lingge replied. She was surprised why Mrs. Deputy Dong suddenly asked this, and when she saw Julie crying next to her, the alarm bell rang in her head.
