Chapter 267: Something Wrong with You
Chen Bo pushed open the door to the office building, which was as white as the sky, on the west side of the port, sticking to the old road and extending to the nearby town, and he smelled a foul smell, which felt like falling into a trash can that had not been cleaned for several days, and body fluids and water mixed in the air, even if he pinched his nose.
"There are so many garbage bags piled up in the hallway, and there is no one from the cleaning company to deal with them?"
Wang Xu looked at the notice on the wall and shared the clues he had with everyone, "I have been in arrears for a long time here, and if I don't pay in time, the water and electricity will be cut off in three days." ”
"I believe you that you are hiding here, the lights are flickering on and off, and I don't know where the wind is blowing." Chen Bo didn't pay attention, he tripped over something hard under his feet, and planted a strong heel with a straight face.
"Your blood bar is less again, and if you don't complete the mission, you will die in the line of duty." Wang Xu jumped over the obstacle blocking the road and helped Chen Bo, who had fallen to the ground, up.
The eyes of the two of them noticed the white man next to the clutter pile at the same time, only to see that he was drunk, the scar on his forehead was faintly visible under his messy long hair, and the vomit on his body was splashed down the neckline to the belt, it seemed that he had been lying in the aisle for a night after a hangover yesterday.
"We're not going to have to deal with this bunch of muddy guys who can't hold up the wall later."
Chen Bo can't say whether to be happy or sad, looking at the other party's appearance, most of them are not very smart, flickering is good and flickering, but the purpose of the assessment is not only to successfully reach a negotiation agreement, if the follow-up implementation is not good, it will also be judged by the system to fail.
Wang Xu tried to wake people up, but the old brother scolded a few words, the whole person was in a fugue state, and coughed a few times from time to time, because they were worried about getting their clothes dirty, everyone decided to ignore this guy for the time being.
Passing by an office, a short-haired guy in it was full of energy, thinking that he had met a rare workaholic, but he didn't expect to push open the door, and Chen Bo saw paper balls all over the ground.
"Oh, you guys, why don't you knock on the door and come in." The old brother raised his hand in a panic, and the fragrance of heather hit his face, Wang Xu told the other party to pay attention to personal hygiene, and helped close the office door again.
"These guys are not saved, I think the port should remember to come back to life, and all employees who are lazy must be fired." Follow the girl assigned to the same task to secretly make up her mind behind the crowd.
The negotiation venue agreed by the trade union was in the conference room in the center of the hall, and Chen Bo walked through the side door when he came in, so he saw a lot of unbearable scenes, as an external arrangement, the decoration of the conference room at least has the appearance of an office space, there is no littering garbage, and the delegates are also neatly dressed, and will not suddenly spit out some inappropriate crazy words.
The woman at the head said: "Welcome to the Chinese representatives from afar, I would like to introduce myself, I am the head of the Piraeus Port Authority, Delis, and the few people sitting next to me are representatives from the port union." ”
"I am against layoffs, if you and these officials are of the same virtue, the strike will continue."
is different from the polite female official, the bearded man on the side directly dismounted, not only loud, but even tried to show his presence by pounding the table.
"Let's sit down first, the discussion process may be longer."
Dai Lisi stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation, several people first looked at each other, and Wang Xu took the lead in sitting opposite the beard, facing each other's angry eyes with a detached expression.
Negotiations with unions focused on whether or not to lay off workers, and if so, how, the number and specific plans needed, as well as the usual wage packages for workers, as well as regulations on working hours.
The first draft drafted by the system for Chen Bo's side involved the above issues, and everyone saw it for the first time, so they inevitably spent more effort on reading the provisions.
The port of Piraeus, as a port with excellent natural conditions, has not been developing smoothly in recent years, because of the aging of port facilities, the turnover rate of goods has been stagnant, coupled with redundant personnel and chaotic internal management, resulting in many ocean shipping companies preferring to set up a transit station in Genoa or Naples, a little farther away, than to dock here.
The top management has tried to reform, but the more reform, the more chaotic, the more chaotic, the slower the flow of goods, the slower the circulation speed, the fewer orders, the fewer orders, the worse the economic benefits, the worse the more we have to change and seek innovation, and then we fall into a chaotic cycle.
In fact, the idea and direction of reform is right, the equipment is old, then replace it with a new one, introduce an advanced management system to improve the speed of circulation, and personnel redundancy, then lay off staff and streamline the organization, eliminate those who are messing around, attract foreign investment, slowly regain credibility, and eat back the lost market share little by little.
But the problem is that there is no money to change equipment, Piraeus has continued to expand its debt scale in recent years, and the bonds issued have not been subscribed.
As soon as the laid-off workers union organized a strike, three months ago it was carried out, causing the port to stop for a few weeks, that is, at that time, the cargo throughput of the port showed a cliff-like decline, after all, there is a time cost for people to transport goods, you are happy, the owner is not happy, this time suffered a loss, next time it will be shipped on the ship in another place.
Chen Boguang felt that his head was big when he looked at it, and the solution to the problem was obviously in front of him, but this road was just like the ancient Shu Road, and if he was not careful, he would never recover.
Last time, it was only said that the optimization of 20% of the personnel caused thousands of people to strike, and the clause mentioned that 60% of the staff would be laid off, which was not outrageous, and the bearded man was afraid that he would turn the table and leave on the spot.
Of course, there is a controversy to be discussed, this reason Chen Bo understands, negotiation is originally a process of mutual compromise between the two parties, but the terms do not seem to be negotiable, what layoffs of 60%, collective salary cuts of 20-40%, annual paid leave is reduced by half, and it is difficult to accept it casually.
Only this voluntary Saturday overtime, if you fool properly, may be acceptable.
Saturday overtime is the usual thing in the country, on the surface of the law is five days off and two days off, but in practice, most of the enterprises are large and small weeks, or simply six plus one, and the real implementation of the two-day holiday system is a minority.
The atmosphere was silent for a long time, everyone's faces were embarrassed, the trade union representatives were waiting for Chen Bo to open conditions, and Chen Bo and several people couldn't find a suitable chatterbox.
Working overtime on Saturday was like a lifesaver, Chen Bo organized the language, prepared to go from simple to difficult, first solved some of the less controversial ones, and then talked slowly about the big ones.
Just thinking about opening his mouth, Wang Xu was indeed confident, and directly showed the terms to the bearded man opposite.
"I think it's okay to follow the instructions above."
