Chapter 408: The "Art" of Being a Boss
More than a thousand people signed a request for a twenty-dollar daily stipend.
It's true that the money asked for isn't much, but Jessica and Link have the same idea. Those who don't know the so-called allowance can't be given, at least not easily.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "But we can't refuse them right now. ”
Link was angry, but not confused. He also knew that he really couldn't refuse the request of the new service team until they were trained.
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens. As long as some of those people go on strike, there will be a large number of defaults by Benehans. The existing good trend of the company will be interrupted.
"I'll let people negotiate with them. He thought for a moment and said. "I'm going to have Dill and Bella talk to the union together. After this time, I gave them good looks. ”
"I think in addition to negotiating with the unions, we also need to investigate those who are determined to increase the allowance, and those who are just following the trend. ”
Link calmed down a bit and said, "Let the marketing department do this investigation?"
"Let the people in the marketing department and the PR department do it. Jessica nodded. "If there aren't many people who are insatiable, it's easier for us to deal with. ”
"Then it's a two-pronged approach. ”
Link was quite impatient with those people. He's kind enough. Most of the staff in those service teams came from his low-rent apartment. Now they are offered a job that pays well enough, and if those people are not satisfied, they should consider whether they can find a job in the future.
"I'll reply to them. ”
"I'd better do it!" Link thought for a moment, and felt that it would be better to bear the notoriety himself. "You don't know about it. ”
Jessica understood his kindness and had no intention of refusing. She smiled and said, "Okay." I'm raising a baby, and my boyfriend loves me so much that he doesn't let me worry about anything. ”
He smiled, moved the computer screen back, and replied to the email.
He typed a few lines and suddenly thought of something. Ask Jessica, "The new service staff has been trained for half a month, right?"
"The first batch of more than 200 people should be the eighteenth day today. The last batch is also two weeks old. ”
He frowned and asked, "Do you have to be on duty for a month?"
"If you work with an old employee, it's about 20 days. ”
Link smiled and said, "Then we might be able to be tougher." He replied to the email, then called Dell again and asked him to negotiate on his behalf. Of course, he needed to place a position for Deere at Benehans on an ad hoc basis. For example, the special assistant to the chairman and so on. Birla can participate in negotiations as the company's legal representative.
Link was busy with this and was about to say something to Jessica when the doorbell rang.
The two looked at the time and found that it was already past four o'clock. That's when Hannah returned. These days, because the two of them are at home, Hannah will go home first and stay for more than ten minutes before going to Alyssa's when she comes back from school.
Jessica went and opened the door.
"Click!" Hannah shouted as she saw Huan outside the door. "Did my brother and sister move today?"
At this time, Jessica's fetal movement was not obvious at all, and Hannah asked only to see Link listening to Jessica's belly on his stomach. Knowing that Daddy is listening to the baby's movements, she also listens to it every day, and talks to Jessica's belly every day.
"It's moving. Maybe it won't be long before they'll know how to say hello to Sister Hannah. ”
"Really? How long will it take?"
Jessica led her to the study: "Maybe soon!"
"Well, they'll definitely greet me soon. ”
After Hannah finished speaking, she trotted over to Link to look at his plaster foot, then looked up and asked, "Daddy, does your foot still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt!"
"It's going to be fine soon, right?"
Fortunately, he hid in the study after he was injured and didn't do much exercise, so the broken bones were not separated. The wound will heal in about a month. You can walk normally, but you can't do strenuous exercise or put too much pressure on you.
"Well, the opportunity will be good soon. ”
He was afraid that Hannah would make you sad, so he didn't dare to let the little guy know that he was injured because he was in her car: "Is Hannah going to paint today?"
"Hmm. I talked to Daddy and Kaka first, and my younger siblings. She blinked and said. "I'm going to paint. ”
Jessica drops Hannah out the door and returns to the study to find Link buried in his work.
He looked up at her and said, "Perhaps, we should have a general manager." There are a lot of things that we don't have to deal with. ”
They've been busy all day today, and there's a lot to deal with.
"Before, the company had little business, and now the business is expanding too fast. Jessica sat down and said. "The general manager wants to ask, maybe other departments may add more staff. Especially the marketing department. ”
Ever since she found out she was pregnant with twins, she knew she wouldn't be able to go out to work for at least a year or two. Therefore, it is imperative to hire professional managers to manage Benehans. Before, she just thought that Link would take care of it directly, but now that she heard him say this, she knew that he wanted to be the shopkeeper again.
"But you don't want a president?"
"The general manager can. The president doesn't have to. ”
President and general manager are two different concepts. If a president is hired, he can be in charge of all the operations of the company, and only major matters need to be reported to the board of directors. The general manager, on the other hand, is only responsible for the specific work. It's still him or Jessica who call the shots.
Benehans was very important in his plans, and he could not give it to anyone else. Jessica can't manage it, so he can only take charge of it himself, but he can also leave some of the affairs to his subordinates. And he himself only needs to grasp the general direction.
Jessica also doesn't want the company to be handed over to someone else. His decision, of course, she will only support. She also thought that when her children were older, she would return to work.
For the next two days, their form remained unchanged.
However, they received a remote video report.
Perhaps because the future of the company is bright, the staff is quite motivated. They asked the marketing department and the PR department to do the survey, and they did it in just two days.
The person who reports to them is the marketing manager. "We communicated with our colleagues in the service team on the phone, one by one," he said in the video. After our statistics. Among them, 267 believe that there should be a parent-child allowance. And 761 people think that if there is, of course it is good, and it doesn't matter if there is not. For the rest, it was not a reasonable request. ”
When Link heard this result, he felt a little more comforted, there are not many people who have such excessive demands. He asked, "Is there a specific list?"
"We registered. ”
"Pass it over!"
"Yes, Mr. Hans!"
"You don't have to worry about it. Recently, the work of the marketing department has been heavy, and you have been working hard during this time. When this time is over, I will consider giving you some material rewards. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Hans, can I convey this good news to my colleagues?"
"Absolutely. However, the premise of receiving the reward is that you don't make mistakes in your work. In addition, there will be awards for other departments. You don't have to worry about disgruntling other departments. ”
"Great. I think my colleagues will be more motivated. ”
When Link finished the video, Jessica smiled and said, "You're going to give out bonuses again?
"Now employees don't have a stake in the company, and if you want them to keep their morale going, you have to pay bonuses. Link smiled and said. "But it doesn't take much. "The number of employees in the company is not very large, and it doesn't cost much money to pay each person a few more weeks of salary. And now that someone in the service team has an accident, the rest of the company can no longer have a fluctuating mood.
He talked about the motivation for employees. Jessica also had another question in mind.
"We talked about giving researchers a period before. So, do other employees in the company also have some?" "Giving employees options is the best way to motivate. "We don't have many employees in the head office, and the proportion of shares that need to be allotment is not very large. What do you think?"
Link thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask the HR department to make a plan." "Last time they said they were going to give the researcher shares, and all the shares were split from Jessica and Flolin's shares.
Although their father and daughter will not lose much, they will still be able to get the money. But Benehans' prospects are now visible. They sell the stock early, which is actually a loss.
Of course, Jessica said it was to make up for his previous additional investment.
He wasn't going to be stingy this time around. He said: "This time I will take out 5% of the stock as an option for the company's employees in the future. Of course, he doesn't plan to make options available to every employee. Only those who are loyal to the company and have contributed are eligible for this benefit. And he doesn't plan to match all of these options right away. If the options have not been distributed before the next new share issuance, he can withdraw the shares. Use a portion of the newly issued shares as options.
"Are we still going to go public?"
"Not yet. I would like to wait for our company to stabilize before seeking to go public. ”
The purpose of going public is to raise funds, and Benehans does not need much external capital for the time being. and other companies have a higher turnover and a wider business. Listing is the only way to get the biggest benefits.
The higher the stock price of the listing, the higher the income they can make when they sell the stock. And they don't intend to dilute their shares too much. He intends to end up holding about 50% of the shares himself.
Jessica only mentioned it, and after hearing him say that, she didn't talk about it again. As they spoke, the marketing manager sent the list over.
A list of more than a thousand people, Link can't look at them all. He just swept it and put it down.
"What are you going to do with those people?" asked Jessica, of course, of those who thought they had to be stipended.
"Let them all fuck off, of course!" Link sneered and pulled out his phone. "Didn't they think that the work of our company made them have no time to spend with their children? ”
As he spoke, he dialed Martha's phone: "Martha, I'll send you a list." I'm going to find out tomorrow that the people above came out of Hans's rented apartment. ”
Martha didn't ask what the list was, and immediately agreed.
Jessica listened to the orders he gave Martha, and she probably understood how he felt.
Although he had selfish intentions in setting up Hans's low-rent apartment, he also paid for it with real money. If this effort is not reciprocated in a friendly manner, he must feel good.
