Chapter 89 Adjustment of salary structure
The news that Kennard has assumed the position of general manager of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce immediately caused a sensation as soon as the news came out that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would attract the attention of many people in Bonta City and several surrounding cities.
The first thing people focus on is Kennard's identity.
It is said that this Kennard is actually the younger brother of the Emma family, so according to tradition, even if he wants to engage in business, he should enter the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce, why should he work in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?
The second concern is the meaning of the word "general manager".
General Manager: There is no such title in any chamber of commerce on the Sainz continent, what the hell does this do?
"What is the job of a general manager...... In fact, he is similar to the president, mainly responsible for managing all the specific affairs of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, such as the internal work arrangement of the Chamber of Commerce, various external negotiations, etc. Of course, I don't have ownership of the Chamber of Commerce, but I just want to help me manage it. ”
For this matter, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce even held a special press conference.
At the press conference, Xu also made the above explanation.
The reporters of the major newspapers who attended the press conference thought about it carefully and felt that although the name of the position of general manager was very strange, the work in charge was actually similar to that of the vice president of most chambers of commerce, and it was just to assist the president in management, so they were no longer surprised, but began to pay attention to another issue.
Although Kennard Emma was born in the Emma family and claimed to have been trained in the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce since he was a child, he is only 27 years old this year, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Wal-Mart Chamber of Commerce are engaged in completely different industries. It can be said that Kennard Ella does not know much about magic machinery at all, so he will be the general manager of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Can it really be done well?
"Ignore the questions of the reporters, since I chose you. Then you will definitely choose to believe that you have such ability. After the press conference, Xu Yi patted Kennard on the shoulder and comforted.
Kennard smiled slightly, his face did not show the slightest expression that had been loosened by the reporters' questions just now, and he was still as confident as usual.
"Rest assured, President, I believe in myself more than you do. ”
"That's good. If you don't even have the slightest bit of confidence, then I'm sorry for the fifty gold dollars a month I've offered you. Xu Yi nodded.
"Speaking of salary...... Kennard muttered for a moment, "President, I have studied it carefully in the past two days, and I have also discussed it with Director Sebas. I feel that the current salary structure of our chamber of commerce is a bit unreasonable. ”
"Oh?" Xu Yi looked at Kennard who was quickly entering the working state with some surprise, and asked with interest, "What's unreasonable?"
"You see, this is a report I did yesterday. Kennard pulled a piece of paper from his bosom.
When I spread it out, there was a simple chart drawn on it, which counted the salaries of different types of employees in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which looked clear at a glance.
Xu Yi glanced at it and couldn't help but nod appreciatively.
"Yes, Kennard, you're a professional, and you should have done this report on your own, right?" But he doesn't do that kind of thing. ”
Kennard smiled modestly, "It's nothing, Director Sebas just didn't spend time on it." ”
"Well, well, what do you mean by unreasonable?" Xu Yi asked, pointing to the report.
"Look, President. As can be seen from this chart, the monthly salary of ordinary workers in our chamber of commerce last month was as low as 11.6 gold coins and as high as 17.3 gold coins. The average monthly salary is 13.72 gold coins, plus the benefits stipulated by the Chamber of Commerce. In fact, the average monthly income of each worker has exceeded fifteen gold coins. ”
"Well, Sebas has already reported it to me. Is there anything wrong with that?" Xu Yi asked.
"In the past few days, I have done a small survey, and found that even if you look at it individually, the current monthly salary of the ordinary workers of our chamber of commerce can basically be regarded as the highest in Bonta City. Except for our chamber of commerce, most of the ordinary workers in other chambers of commerce have a monthly salary of about ten gold coins, and only the workers in charge of road works in the Amrley chamber of commerce occasionally have a higher salary than our chamber of commerce. But in contrast, the workers of the Amritri Chamber of Commerce work more than 12 hours a day, while the average worker of our Chamber of Commerce only needs to work 8 hours a day, and even if there is occasional overtime, they will be paid overtime. ”
"So what's wrong with that?" Xu Yi asked with a smile. "If you think that the salaries paid by our chamber of commerce to ordinary workers are too high, then this topic can be put to an end. I have carefully considered the wages offered to the workers at this rate, and it will take a lot of effort to explain the reasons, so I will not explain them to you for the time being. ”
Kennard shook his head: "No, President, it's not that I don't think the salaries of ordinary workers are too high, but the current structure is not very reasonable, and the salaries of other employees are too low in comparison. ”
Hearing that Kennard was not like President Crews before, who simply thought that the salaries he offered to ordinary workers were too high, Xu Yi suddenly became interested again.
"Tell me, what are your specific thoughts?"
"That's right. President, in the past few days, I have carefully studied the main structure of our Chamber of Commerce, and I have found that for our Chamber of Commerce, the work of ordinary workers is actually very unimportant, even less important than ordinary workers of any other Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"Because most of the work of our chamber of commerce is actually handed over to the magic machine tool to complete, and all form a complete production line, the work that each ordinary worker needs to complete is actually very simple, any normal person can master it after simple training, and after a short period of familiarity, it can achieve the same proficiency. Kennard explained.
"So you don't think their work is important?"
"It's not accurate to say it's not important, it's just that it's not that important in comparison. Because in my opinion, even within the same factory, different workers should have different skills, and the energy and technical content required to work are also different. In that case, it is obviously not reasonable to pay them the same salary. Kennard said.
"In other words, you want to divide the ordinary workers in the factory into a grade, and then give them different levels of salaries according to different grades?" Xu Yi asked.
"Yes. Kennard pulled another form out of his bosom. "This is a rough count of all the employees in the automatic magic rice cooker production line in the production workshop of household magic machinery in the past few days. As can be seen from the statistical table, the workers responsible for the production of the automatic magic rice cooker top cover beam bracket have the highest requirements, because this beam bracket has strict requirements, even one millimeter more or one millimeter less may become a waste product, so the responsible workers must concentrate on controlling the magic lathe, and cannot let the turning tool of the magic lathe have even the slightest deviation. In my opinion, this job is the most difficult and technical content of this production line. ”
"So what about the least difficult and technical content, is it the workers in charge of assembly?" Xu Yixiao asked.
Kennard was stunned, Xu Yi didn't look at the statistical table, but he said his thoughts.
"Don't be surprised, because I know this question even better than you do. Xu Yi smiled slightly. "But it takes a lot of effort and time to break down all the types of work in the factory and make a detailed statistical division according to the technical content contained in them, and you should know that what I lack the most is energy and time, so I haven't been able to complete this work before. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Yi patted Kennard's shoulder with a smile and continued: "Before you came, no one had the ability to complete this. Now that you have proposed it, it is very good, you can complete this work as the first important work you have when you join our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Half a month later, I hope to see you come up with a detailed report. ”
"Half a month?" Kennard's eyes widened in disbelief. "President, this job is so complicated, you only give me half a month's time?
"Can't you do it?" Xu Yi glanced at him and sighed deliberately. "I thought that the business elite carefully cultivated by the Emma family must be extremely capable, but I didn't expect it to be just that. ”
Kennard couldn't help but laugh: "President, did you provoke you before taking revenge on me? Well, half a month is half a month, even if I work hard, I will do this job well." ”
Seeing Kennard's confident smile on his face, Xu Yi was greatly relieved.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Kennard was able to make so many statistical studies in just a few days, and quickly grasped the key points, and found a problem that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce urgently needs to solve, is enough to prove that his ability is definitely extremely strong.
Although Xu Yi had discovered this problem before, neither Heinze nor Sebas had the ability to deal with this problem, and he didn't have time.
Now with Kennard on board, this problem seems to be solved.
"That's good. General Manager Emma, please work hard. ”
Xu Yi patted Kennard on the shoulder again, leaving him alone to meditate, and he came to Camilla's Grand Magician Tower.
As soon as he pushed open the door of Camilla's exclusive research room on the top floor of the Wizard Tower, Xu Yi immediately shouted.
"Your Excellency the Great Magician, Steele said you have two pieces of good news to inform me, what is it?"
Grand Magician Camilla was doing a magic experiment, and after hearing Xu Yi's voice, he raised his head and glanced at him, and instead of answering, he beckoned to him and motioned for him to come over to help.
Xu is also a little strange, with the strength of Camilla's great magician, what magic test does he need to help with?
Walking over and looking down, Xu Yi immediately exclaimed, with endless joy in his tone.
"Your Excellency, Grand Magician, you ...... You're done!" (To be continued......)
