Chapter Eighty-Seven: John Is Here (Asking for a Reward ^_^)
Casey had planned to take care of his boss on John's first day in Shanghai, but it just so happened that John arrived in Shanghai one week earlier than planned, which happened to be Lucy's last day at the China headquarters. The next day, she will go to Jiaxing to continue her new "journey of virtue and wisdom".
So a week ago, Casey arranged for HR colleagues to be in the typhoon shelter at noon to practice for Lucy.
However, now the boss can't wait to come to work. After receiving the boss's message yesterday, she began to struggle with which to dine with at noon.
Later, Casey thought that she was about to leave, and she didn't care so much about her boss's opinion. She calmly explained to John, and then asked Diana to help him take care of John, so that John could familiarize himself with the company.
Diana secretly said in her heart: Boss, is this the rhythm of leaving? I arranged for her to contact John directly, and it was just a matter of interviewing the secretary; Now that his boss has arrived, he has only arranged for her to receive her. Is it really good to be treated by yourself like this?
Although Casey's arrangement seems to be impeccable on the surface, John, who is worthy of being a senior human resources expert, feels a little unusual: it stands to reason that his boss has come from afar, and his subordinates have not had time to stammer, how could Casey give up the opportunity to get closer to his boss to his subordinates like this? Or is the subordinate who is leaving more important to her?
Obviously, this is not possible. In the workplace, everyone is only striving for their own future, who will be nostalgic for the person who is about to leave?
From the time John was recruiting a secretary, he had a vague sense that something was wrong. It is against common sense for Casey to have one of his managers contact him directly and take the initiative to facilitate a subordinate to skip the report. He decided to talk to Casey in a few days, after he had become familiar with the situation in China: if Casey did decide to leave the company, he had to figure out the real reason. After all, there are not many HR director positions in China. Of course, on the contrary, it is not so easy to find a suitable successor.
If Casey is leaving, there must be some very important reason. It's certainly not just because there are better opportunities out there!
John secretly speculated: It can't be related to the transfer of the Asia-Pacific headquarters, right? Or is it because he was there, or maybe something big happened in China that he didn't know......
Asia-Pacific leaders are moving to the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai one after another. As the HR boss, John moved to Shanghai as early as possible, and he needed to make sure that the company's restructuring would not have any negative impact on employees and the company's business. At the same time, he hopes to give more care to his old colleagues at that time. It also gave them more confidence to come to work in Shanghai.
Thinking of the colleagues who fought together at the Singapore headquarters, in order not to come to China, some of them would rather be downgraded and desperately apply to return to the United States to work, and some simply resigned and found another way out in Singapore......
If the president of the Asia-Pacific region is the head of the family, he is the chief steward of the Asia-Pacific headquarters. Seeing the negative reactions such as unhappiness and anxiety in his family, John was very uncomfortable.
So, he left for the new Asia Pacific headquarters building as early as possible. He wants to use his personal experience to positively guide everyone's feelings and stabilize everyone's restless and restless hearts.
John went to Shanghai to get used to it for a week before coming to the company to report. He felt that although it was not as convenient to live here as Singapore because of the different languages and environment, he soon realized the goodness of Shanghai.
Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are the basic needs of human life. In Shanghai, they enjoy a higher quality of life than in Singapore.
With the same income, you can buy more goods, eat more food, rent a bigger house, provide a better education for your children, play more places, and hire more nannies in Shanghai than in Singapore......
Soon, he changed his fearful view of a third-world country before he came, and became a little uneasy.
This is really: Seon lost his horse, how to know if it is a blessing! Although he obeyed the company's arrangement, he and his family secretly worried that he would have diarrhea from impure water, food poisoning from gutter oil, and respiratory diseases from smog in Shanghai, but this week's life was enough to prove that his body was more adaptable than he imagined.
John is a very capable and dedicated person to the company. So, on the first day he came to China, he settled down in the office and got into the state of work.
According to the work plan, he first chatted with Yang Wei about the current situation in China.
At first, Yang Wei saw the move of his Asia-Pacific headquarters to Shanghai as an opportunity for him to move up to a position in the Asia-Pacific region more easily. However, when I saw that many good positions were continued to be occupied by people who were originally based in Singapore, I began to dislike this arrangement of the US headquarters from the bottom of my heart. He vaguely felt that this was also a disguised tightening of control by the United States.
Because China's sales figures have been leading the world in recent years, it is reasonable that the US headquarters has begun to be afraid of him. However, he, Yang Wei, hated his boss so suspicious of his way.
Although Yang Wei holds a passport from the United States, he is a Chinese in his bones, and he advocates the ancient Chinese idea of "employing people without suspicion, and suspecting people without suspicion".
However, no one will know what he really thinks. Early in the morning, Yang Wei met John in the pantry and warmly hugged him. It makes people look like they are good friends who have known each other for many years, and they have finally reunited in the company after a long absence.
John is a straightforward man, although he is familiar with the habit of Chinese people who like to talk and do things. However, he still maintains his straightforward personality.
"Yang, I have a feeling that Casey might be leaving us." Towards the end of his first work meeting, John was blunt about his feelings.
Yang Wei was obviously stunned when he heard this, he didn't know that John was stating his feelings? Or was Casey already saying something to him and testing him. Because he was not sure, he did not dare to respond rashly.
Yang Wei's eyes widened, and he made a surprised expression and looked at John. Wait for him to continue.
But John just walked by and said nothing more.
Yes, what else can John say? It's just his sixth sense. This intuition comes from his 30 years of experience in the industry, although it has never deceived him. However, in the workplace, what is important is evidence, and what is looked at is the number of jรน. Without these evidences, everything he says is just an inference without basis.
Also, why would an HR manager at the China headquarters be sent to Jiaxing so suddenly? When the layoffs were so nervous before, they owed this head, and they didn't take the initiative to fill the hole.
Lucy was sent by Casey to the Jiaxing factory to work as an HRManager. Although the level and salary have not changed, as the management of Relocation, Lucy has enjoyed the company's housing allowance, and with the income from Shanghai, she still lives a very nourishing life in Jiaxing. The only regret is that Lucy can't see her children every day, and every Friday to get off work, she immediately drives back to her home in Shanghai.
Lucy's HR management has also expanded from the original 3 functional modules of HR to all of them. The HR department of the entire factory has one manager and two specialists. She is still reporting to Casey in Shanghai.
In a sense, Casey didn't punish Lucy, but instead gave her a great gift on her career path. This kind of horizontal expansion of work changes within the professional field is also a reward for the personal career advancement of employees.
John had a lot of questions about what had happened in China recently.
