Chapter 62: The Prelude to the Labor Pains
In the spring of the new year, a work conference on line A education was held in the school. When the meeting arranged for everyone to discuss, they spoke freely, and everyone talked about it for a day, and the topic was one, describing the painful scene of layoffs in various places.
In the face of everyone's confiding, Wu Wei felt that he was pale and powerless to speak any language, and fell into the dilemma of not saying a word. At first, he felt that his knowledge was devalued, and now in the face of social pain, he feels the paleness and poverty of his education. He realized that the negative effects of the reform had entered a period of full release.
After some thought, Wu Wei spoke at the seminar organized by the provincial bank, and the president who spoke before him talked about his reading experience, and I also recently read a book, which was written by the Germans on the theory of war, and I felt that the book's description of human psychology made domestic psychologists feel ashamed, and there was a very wonderful sentence in it, strong is the alloy of decisiveness and wisdom. People's psychological quality is also like a 10,000-ton hydraulic press like kneading dough and forging steel ingots to increase the flexibility of the material. Now the negative effects accumulated by the reform for many years have entered the stage of full release, and the pressure on personnel at all levels and all types of positions has increased unprecedentedly.
President Zou, who was present at the meeting, did not say a word, and did not attend the meeting in the afternoon. At the end of the afternoon meeting, the participants received a notice that President Zou would rush back to make a summary of the meeting when he attended the provincial meeting.
President Zou rushed back and mentioned in the summary that President Wu talked about the pressure in his speech in the morning, and everyone also thought about it seriously in combination with the reality of their own positions. In the past, we were coaxing and persuading and deceiving the following, but now we see that if we continue to do this, it will not work, and the paper will not be able to contain the fire, so we must give the employees the truth, explain it clearly to everyone, and do a good job in the ideological work of everyone, especially the employees of the units affected by the adjustment. In the past few years, it was the large-scale bankruptcy and downsizing of state-owned enterprises, and if they were not broken and not established, a new system and a new mechanism could not be established; in this process, in order to stabilize enterprises and society, and in accordance with the requirements of the policies of the state and governments at all levels, we have issued a large number of loans for stability and unity.
Wu Wei realized that he was about to face this kind of adjustment, he has been fully mentally prepared, through years of research, he has developed a strong self-adjustment ability, even if everything is started from scratch, it is not a big deal, firmly believe that he will do hope where there is no hope. He doesn't complain, but can his school group cope with it with his mentality, and now he has to go through a new test.
The operation status of Bank A is as expected by Wu Wei, with high loan rate, high downsizing pressure, unstable operation, declining performance and even negative growth, and employees generally have no intention of working. The head office soon made major adjustments to the provincial bank team, President Zou resigned from his post ahead of schedule, and Li Jie was replaced by the vice president. At the farewell meeting, President Zou said that the government was sick and asked our bank to take medicine, and it was the government factor that caused our bank's predicament, revealing strong dissatisfaction.
Revolution revolutionizing other people's lives to bring good luck to oneself is exciting, happy, and full of hope; Now the reform is changed to one's own head and his own family, but it is painful and unbearable.
In the early 80s, people were full of hope for reform, and the general psychological expectation was that as long as the reform could bring good luck to themselves, the increase in income, the increase in positions, and the increase in freedom, they were all happy, and they were always positive and enthusiastic about the reform, and they believed that they would gain something, but slowly found that the reform was not so simple, and it would also make people lose something, and what they lost would not be compensated, and what they lost was lost forever. Now people have formed a psychological expectation of the upcoming adjustment, but they are still lucky.
After an anxious wait, the school finally heard the news that the task force was coming. The implementation of the original adjustment plan for the school team is suspended. Everyone realizes that people are idle there, and sooner or later. The slightest message came, it caused a fluctuation, people were panicked, and the school held meetings from time to time to refute the rumors, saying that the above had never been studied, and asked the original words to be conveyed to the whole group, and stabilized for a while. But things are there, and my heart is always a little hairy, and when there is a stir, there will be a lot of uproar. Adjustment will also bring wealth and luck to some people, there is a convenient money to start to move the mind, the management of things to pour something, there is a way to arrange themselves out of the way, nothing can be caught to play mahjong, resentment. I don't have the heart to do my work, and the failure is becoming more and more obvious. The working group is about to enter, and everyone is guessing with trepidation.
At the beginning of July, a working group composed of Cheng Tie, the new head of the provincial bank, and the director of education and personnel stationed in the school, and the former president of the provincial bank, Luo Liang, went to the newly established organization. The school has finally entered a major adjustment period from a long waiting period, and no one knows what the adjusted outcome will be.
Principal Park is facing the most pressure, and he does not have this experience, the key is how to deal with it. The working group first exchanged views with the school team.
At the meeting, the president of the provincial bank first talked about the key points of the provincial plan, the adjustment period of personnel freezing, several principals one does not move, the head office to determine the retention index, how to retain people can be qualified to take the method of voting and examination, allowing the buyout of the length of service to implement a one-time compensation, the school that submitted the transfer application to provide procedures, logistics to the end of the year stripping.
Cheng Tie paused slightly, and the people who observed the meeting did not show any unusual reaction. He went on to say that in order to reduce the burden on the school after the adjustment, the surplus personnel will be resettled by the city bank on the spot, and all the retirees will be transferred to the city bank for management.
The key to the adjustment is the whereabouts of the redundant personnel, as soon as this question was raised, the atmosphere of the venue suddenly became extraordinarily quiet, according to the retention index determined by the head office, the reality of the school is that there are too many redundant personnel, although everyone has expected in the past, it really becomes a reality or feels that the situation is very grim. Cheng Tie seemed to feel everyone's mood, and said in particular, before we came, we greeted the city bank, and the city bank specially held a party committee to study and then said that how many people came to the school to pick up how many people. Cheng Tie said with great emotion, listening to President Daniel Zhang of the City Bank, he is still a student of your school, and he especially expressed his intention to share worries and solve problems for his alma mater, so it will be much easier.
After Principal Park and other members of the working group finished speaking, he opened his mouth and said that all those who meet the requirements should be retired, and the school will still be in charge of the retirees after the internal retirement. The other team members were very surprised when they heard this, since the superiors had decided to divert all of them on the spot, why did they start a new stove and take care of everything? If there is an opinion and trouble, it is said that the provincial bank has decided, and the attitude of the city bank is very positive, and it is easier to digest the redundant personnel who are diverted to the city bank and dispersed for resettlement, and leave a way out for the young and better quality. Thinking about it again, now the industry is also laying off employees, and people in schools can't do anything decent when they go to the city and don't know how to do anything decent, so they are all shunted to the grassroots industry, and they catch up with the industry and then lay off employees to vote, even if they go, they can't escape the fate of being laid off, no matter how you look at it, there is no good way out.
Cheng Tie listened to Principal Park's opinion, thought about it for a while, and asked, how about retreating on the spot if you have enough conditions?
The director of personnel said that there are two lines of layoffs, one is to control according to internal retirement, the age of 52 years old male and 45 years old female 45 years old; The other is to be treated in parallel with the withdrawal of 25 years of service for men and 20 years for women. Those who are not enough to retire and cannot be retained can be diverted to the city for resettlement. There are also some workers, President Park said, and will wait until the end of the year when the logistics are divested.
During the discussion, Wu Wei raised a question about whether special consideration should be given to those key teachers when considering the teachers of the future school.
If someone raises an objection, it is not the same as naming and retaining people, and it will cause trouble if someone is left behind.
Later, it was agreed that the retention of personnel should be carried out in accordance with the half-to-half ratio of administrative staff and teachers, examinations, and democratic voting. The overall situation of the adjustment was thus decided.
Wu Wei felt that Principal Park had taken a thrilling step and should be reminded that he also felt that there was a problem when he told the director of education in the working group. After the meeting, Wu Wei, Yin Yuan, and Zhang Luo invited the working group to go out to eat, take a bath, and relax.
At the wine table, Wu Wei asked Principal Park if he could play chess?
Principal Park said that he could see and know how to go, but he was reluctant to play chess.
Wu Wei said that Principal Park took a risky move, and the danger was at the peak.
President Cheng Tie hurriedly asked, what kind of risky move? Wu Wei said that the secret of heaven must not be leaked.
Cheng Tie was dissatisfied, Xiao Wu and I are still doing this? Back in the resting room, the director of education said to Wu Wei with a smile, I understand what you said, they don't know what to say. I told President Sung about it, and he said that President Park was very determined, so let's do it.
Cheng Tie said to Principal Park alone, your team has different opinions and is not united, you have to hold a meeting to talk about it and ask for it.
Principal Park convened a meeting of the team early the next morning, obviously aiming at Wu Weilai, and strictly asked the team to be consistent, although the other vice principals did not have the same understanding of such a major problem faced by the school, because they did not sit together in advance to study it carefully, and it is not easy to say anything now, some are too lazy to help come up with good ideas, and let Principal Park block them if there is a problem, and some do not squeak when they encounter all problems.
After the team meeting, a general meeting was held immediately, presided over and delivered by the president of Chengtie, he first announced the adjustment plan agreed between the working group and the school, in the process of his speech, some employees have been worried for several years and finally became a definite fact, and the venue gradually sounded suppressed crying.
President Cheng said, I often go to the grassroots line of the merger, I said to those employees who have been laid off, when encountering such a thing, don't say crying tears, even crying bleeding is not cured, everyone should adapt as soon as possible to find another way out, to recognize the situation, obey the overall situation, now the country is being laid off everywhere, the school should actively deal with the aftermath.
Captain Chengtie is from the forest area, tall, stout and mighty, and his speech is quite imposing, very overwhelming. He went on to say that in the past, we did not have enough understanding of socialism, we did not go too far with propaganda, and enterprises did not go bankrupt and workers did not lose their jobs. If we really continue to follow the road of poor socialism as we did in the past, and we would rather have the grass of socialism than the seedlings of capitalism, and everyone would not work there to suffer poverty, and we will not be able to talk about any compensation for the reduction of personnel and layoffs in the past few years, but thanks to the reform and opening up in recent years, there has been an appropriate accumulation of sustained and high economic growth, and appropriate compensation can be given to the laid-off personnel. We have been deeply affected by this kind of education for a long time, so we can't adapt to the changes that come, we can't think about it, and some people still want to make trouble. Many companies go bankrupt and workers don't even get a minimum amount of compensation, and our situation is much better than that of companies. Judging from the course of reform in the past few years, we need to pay a price when we enter the stage of tackling tough problems. Therefore, I will tell you this in advance, to have a psychological preparation, the school in the cultivation of talents for the reform and development of the bank has made an important contribution, now we also have to think clearly, the transformation and adjustment of adult colleges and universities is inevitable, academic education has completed the historical mission, just like people to retire when they are old, now the school is also time to step down, the staff in the industry should make up for the academic qualifications of the almost, the future recruits are just graduated college students, continue to run academic education can not be done at all, With the large-scale expansion of ordinary colleges and universities, who still comes to adult colleges like ours to go to college? Engaging in cadre training and short-term training does not need such a big stall with so many people, and it is not a matter for so many people to be raised for nothing, and people are delayed if they do not work for a long time. Now in accordance with the policy of the higher level of adjustment, everyone may not be able to accept it ideologically for a while, working together for many years, emotionally will feel that it is not clear, not only can not stay easy to think about, even if the exam vote is left behind, it may feel that the future is bleak, this can be understood, it will pass slowly. Everyone should take the situation they are facing correctly and adjust their mentality as soon as possible for their future.
Cheng Tie looked at everyone's reactions, and said, I still want to talk about discipline here, and it can be regarded as a reminder to everyone, there are some things that they are not easy to say. In the past two years, I have often gone to some of the parallel banks and seen some scenes, and some of the presidents of the parallel banks cried vigorously when they heard the news of the withdrawal, and they cried for several days. I saw it and said, are you still the governor, now the masses urgently need to do ideological work, you yourself collapsed first, hurry up and cheer up. What I mean by this is that the school adjustment will impact many posts, there are so many directors and deputy directors, and many are teachers, who have been educated by the party for so many years, and are in a place like the school to educate and cultivate people. The bank involves property, some people take the opportunity to engage in some illegal activities, I want to emphasize here, no matter how to adjust, we are still people in the bank, even self-employed also need the school to provide personnel files, out of the bank there is a problem on behalf of the school's image, in the future to do things and be a person, don't think that no one cares about this, you can do your own thing, the monk is lawless with an umbrella, you see if there is anyone to care. I just remind everyone to pay attention to the fact that ugly words come first, and we must not forget to abide by the law. That's all I have to say.
After listening to Cheng Tie's speech, everyone was dissatisfied, and they were speechless for a while, and those who wanted to vent their questions and make trouble on the spot, after he said it, they couldn't remember what to say for a while, and they seemed to be shocked and persuaded, and the meeting ended in an indescribable state.
The school's past was too comfortable and laid-back. The work is not like the industry, there is no index assessment, the income is considerable, the house is good, the welfare is generous, the work pressure is small, and there is a long-term psychological foreshadowing of the superiority of unemployment. In a closed environment, large-scale cultural and artistic activities are often held, and even long-distance coastal tours with families are organized, creating a happy atmosphere. The leaders of the provincial bank also said in front of everyone that they could not lose anything to the school, saying that the school was the only institution of higher learning in the provincial bank and the cradle of bankers, so that everyone had been immersed in a state of happiness. Especially on the eve of the adjustment, President Luo also made a very popular reassuring speech in the face of everyone, and still has illusions about the upcoming adjustment, and is content with a leisurely and comfortable life.
In particular, in the face of the fact that most people have to face the problem of laid-off workers being diverted, and it turns out that a unit is like brothers and sisters and is harmonious, and when such an adjustment is made, the atmosphere suddenly becomes extremely tense, and confrontation appears, and even the enemy is regarded as an enemy. At the beginning, I can calmly put forward some requirements, or I feel unclear and have questions to explain and answer, and the leader can also explain patiently with a pleasant face, and I can't open the face of the leader and subordinates, colleagues, brothers and sisters in the past, and slowly realize that my fate is irreversible, and my face has gradually changed. A harmonious group is rigidly divided, feelings are torn apart, and both laid-off and non-laid-off feel pain. The taste of pain is different, the pain of being laid off is the pain of unemployment, especially the unit and group that have left the work and life for many years, and lost the dependence, the pain caused by the loneliness and weakness is just like a young child leaving his parents, such pain is even more profound than the pain of income reduction and loss of interests, and it is more difficult to heal and recover, and some are very young or even less than 40 years old, because according to the withdrawal and mastery of the length of service meet the conditions for internal retirement, thinking that the long days in the future need to be sent to face by themselves, It's really a feeling of not being in decline.
It is better to be able to stay, but looking at the entanglements that can't be left, in the face of that kind of dazed panic and pain, resentment and dissatisfaction arise from pain, and the two sides gradually move towards confrontation. Dissatisfaction also needs to be slowly accumulated, fermented, brewed, and collided, how can the intimacy and maintenance of face that have been formed over the years disappear all at once, besides, someone has to be active to activate it.
