When Zhang Xiaobox got home from work, he threw his coat and handbag on the small sofa, thinking, "I really can't go to this class for a day." In the afternoon, the team leader called his colleagues into the meeting room one by one, and Zhang Xiaobox was still curious about whether he was going to increase his salary.

Thinking that if the salary rises by a few hundred yuan and life is a little more relaxed, he looked around very happily, looked at the colleagues who came out expressionlessly and thought: "I must be happy and I don't know how to express it, I am so calm, when will it be me." The team leader walked to the door and shouted, "Zhang Xiaobox, come in." Zhang Xiaobox's ass walked into the meeting room with small steps.

Seeing the team leader sitting on the couch, Zhang Xiaobox immediately sat on the single leather sofa next to the team leader, so he asked plainly, "Is there anything wrong with the team leader?" The team leader looked at Zhang Xiaobox with calm eyes and said: "Xiaobox, you have also been in the company for more than a year, and you are also gravity cultivation, and you usually don't work much overtime, and your salary is also in the middle and upper reaches of your peers, right?"

"The team leader is right, thank you for the company's cultivation, and the work will be more attentive to repay the company's training." The team leader said: "Now that the market is sluggish, the company also has its own difficulties, and now is the time to advance and retreat with the company." Zhang Xiaobox's heart was nervous, and the team leader continued: "So the salary may be reduced, of course, this is just the current situation, when the economy improves, as an employee who pays for the company, it will definitely be more considerable than the previous salary, what do you think after I say it, let's refer to it." ”

"You're done, what can I say, no, I can say." Zhang Xiaobox muttered in his heart.

"Team leader, can you ask how long it will take for the company to get through," Zhang Xiaobox asked.

"This may be half a year, and I will definitely get a salary increase at that time." Zhang Xiaobox was relieved and thought: "It's only half a year to spend money without spending a lot of money." ”

"Okay, I see, the team leader has worked hard." Zhang Xiaobin smiled and said to the team leader. The team leader said, "That's it, let's go out and get back to work." ”

"Okay team leader." Got up and walked out of the meeting room.

"Now the company is also difficult, and I can persist in half a year, after all, it is the first job after graduating from college, and it is also a test to encounter. I plan to work until I retire, after all, I don't work much overtime and the pay is good. Zhang Xiaobox thought to himself, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The colleague turned his head and asked, "What are you laughing at?" Seeing Zhang Xiaobox's relaxed expression, he said: "Now keep a low profile, don't you see that there are still old employees who will retire in a few years, and they have been laid off." Zhang Xiaobox didn't react and asked: "Didn't you cut your salary, why was you laid off, and you are still an old employee." "Colleagues usually have a good relationship with Zhang Xiaobox, five years before Zhang Xiaobox entered the company, Zhang Xiaobox just graduated from college and just entered the company a lot of don't understand, often ask the colleague next door, colleagues can't be busy, Zhang Xiaobox also helps her do some chores, come and go very close.

A colleague whispered: "What a salary cut, isn't it a layoff, the company has no salary cut, I entered the company and saw that this is the second batch of layoffs." After all, you have to make room for new employees. It is said that young people need to be active and energetic. My colleague sighed and said, "I just want to do more projects now, make more money, and live while waiting to be laid off." The colleague looked at Zhang Xiaobox: "You also have to work hard, making money while you are young is the last word." Zhang Xiaobox was already in tears in his heart: "There is no salary cut, the team leader didn't say so." Zhang Xiaobox got up and wanted to go to the team leader to ask what was going on.

But the door to the meeting room was closed, and the team leader was still talking to the others. Zhang Xiaobox saw his colleagues who came in at the same time in the pantry, and got up with a cup to go to the pantry.

walked up to his colleague and decided to take the initiative and asked in a whisper: "Do you know that the team leader just talked to me, saying that the company is currently in a recession, and said that he would cut his salary, do you know?" My colleague saw that it was Zhang Xiaobox, who entered the company at the same time, and said

"You also know, the team leader also told me, I went back and asked other colleagues, it turned out that those who had been in the company for a year were all paid cuts, and the old employees were also laid off a lot, saying that they were going to rectify and optimize. The young ones with experience and seniority didn't move much. The colleague sighed and said: "I haven't heard that the company has the habit of laying off employees before, it may have only grown in the last few years." Let's go to work and save money. Zhang Xiaobox was also worried about whether he could retire stably in the future.

When Zhang Xiaobox took a glass of water and turned around, he looked up at the floor-to-ceiling window and muttered, "It's going to rain heavily this weather." ”
