As soon as Manturov finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became quiet again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not that they don't want to talk about the problem, it's not that they don't dare to talk about the difficulties that exist at work, but they don't know what the problem or difficulty to talk about.
Manturov is a rather harsh person, and many Novosibirsk cadres here know this, so they dare not say some big problems to Manturov, and even if they do, they are all problems that are not on their own.
If the problem is too serious, Manturov will hold these cadres responsible, and if the difficulties are too great and cannot be solved in the end, these cadres will have to look at Manturov's face again.
"Comrades, is there really no problem at all? Don't have any difficulties at work? Manturov spoke in a neutral tone and without expression on his face, and it was impossible for anyone present to tell what was going on in his mind from his tone and expressions. Did he know something about the situation and wanted to take this opportunity to criticize everyone? Or do you really not understand the situation and really just want to know about some problems?
"Comrade Secretary...... No! Comrade People's Commissar, the last time I went to inspect the military-industrial complex, I found that there were problems with the enthusiasm of some comrades. The deadlock was broken by Chernenko, the current first secretary of the Novosibirsk Party Committee, who knows Manturov's style of work very well and can understand his current mood.
Manturov came all the way from Moscow, and he couldn't tell him that "there is no problem" to perfunctory him. On behalf of the central authorities, people have made a special trip to find problems and help solve them, not to listen to people's reports on their achievements.
Since he is here to find a problem and solve a problem, there must be some problems for him to find, let him solve them.
Chernenko then raised the question of sabotage that would occur in all institutions of the Soviet Union (including party and government institutions, factories, and collective farms).
In the Soviet Union, especially in the Stalinist era, there was almost no corruption of cadres. However, the problem of laziness and sabotage exists in almost every department and factory.
These problems are prevalent because they are difficult to solve. Neither the central government nor the local governments of the USSR came up with a better solution.
As a result, the phenomenon of sabotage and laziness has not only not been suppressed, but has become more and more serious, and more and more people have problems, and over time it has become a common phenomenon, and some leaders are too lazy to take care of it, and let the problem continue to exist, because it is really impossible to manage it.
At the mention of this thorny issue, Manturov began to frown. When he was the secretary of the state party committee before, he also worked a lot on this issue.
In order to solve the problem of sabotage, Manturov asked the leaders of the factories in the Novosibirsk region to strengthen supervision and let them add a work-attendance bonus to reward workers with good work performance and high motivation to maintain this performance, and also to encourage other workers to strive for the bonus.
In addition to this, Manturov deliberately had the local newspapers and radio report on the highly productive workers, and the Stakhanov movement was launched. (Alexei Grigorievich Stakhanov was a coal miner.) At one point, 102 tonnes of coal were mined in 5 hours and 45 minutes.
On August 31, 1935, the Soviet press reported on this achievement, and from then on the "Stakhanov Movement" began, a competition for workers' productivity. )
Just after the implementation of the policy, some "super workers" like Stakhanov appeared in the Novosibirsk region, and the production efficiency of various regions was greatly improved.
However, those workers who are accustomed to slacking off are too "self-aware"! They know where their level of ability is, they feel that they are not capable enough, and they are simply not able to reach the level of those people in Stakhanov, and they have no intention of competing for the attendance award and the honor of Stakhanov, and continue to maintain the status quo and continue to slack off.
You may ask, "Isn't it enough to punish those who slack off?" ”
How could Manturov not think about punishing the workers? How could other Soviet officials not think so? At this time, the Soviets were masters of punishment, but if punishment was useful, why did the Soviet Union still have the problem of sabotage?
This is mainly because the standard of punishment is difficult to quantify, and some leaders have adopted relatively lenient standards for punishing workers who are sabotaging in order to avoid brain drain in factories and avoid damaging the relationship between leaders and workers. If they can, they will not be punished heavily, and if they can, they will not be punished.
Because of the punishment, it will affect the relationship between employees and leaders, and it will also lead to the loss of talent and labor. If the punishment is too much, too severe, more and more people will leave, and the number of people willing to work in the factory will also decrease, which is a considerable loss for the factory.
Fortunately, the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War provided Manturov with inspiration to solve the problem of sabotage.
"Comrades, this is a tense time." Manturov stood up, waved his hands like an orchestra conductor, and said: "In this tense time of war, the soldiers of the Red Army fought at the front, and our workers also fought in the rear!"
Why? Every tank, every cannon, every gun produced by the military factory, kills a certain number of enemies.
The more equipment a military factory produces, the more enemies it can kill. The less equipment a factory produces, the fewer enemies it can kill.
We must do a good job of propaganda work, make good use of the media and propaganda resources, and make the comrades in the factories aware of this and let them know that they are also participating in the war. Whoever produces actively is a hero who resists the fascist invasion! Whoever is not active in production is an accomplice of the fascists!
This concept can be conveyed to them through our media and propaganda resources, and it is necessary to constantly propagate patriotism, to constantly inculcate the relationship between the production of armaments and the Great Patriotic War, as I just said, to let them know that they have the responsibility to defend their homeland and the country, and to let them know their contribution to the Great Patriotic War!
As long as we can make the productive workers heroes and the saboteurs into accomplices of the fascists, we can theoretically motivate them to work harder. ”
Kulakov, the oldest local leading cadre (in fact, only 31 years old), the first secretary of the party committee of the Krasnoyask Territory, took a pen while listening to Manturov's speech and jotted down the key points in his notebook with a pen. Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of a question: "Comrade Manturov, you have a good point, but ......"
