Chapter 496: An Irresponsible Business?

Hearing Luo Yin's words, everyone's hearts ached. Isn't it a layoff of employees?

They also expected that there would be layoffs, but they felt that Luo Yin would focus on the development of the company first, and even if there were layoffs, it would be later.

After all, the development of the company, especially a trading company like theirs, is in the greatest need of manpower. But they didn't expect that Luo Yin had just taken over the company and was about to start drastic layoffs.

In that case, there may be only one possibility - this new boss wants to use Hengyun Company to go public through a backdoor listing!

If you ignore the remaining time, Hengyun is a better one

"Shell", but precisely this time can not be ignored. So these executives have different conjectures from ordinary employees, and they feel that it is unlikely that the new boss will go public because of lack of time.

They have learned about other companies, and there are companies that plan to go public recently, and they have already prepared them in advance, and they don't need Hengyun Company.

And those quasi-listed companies that are not ready, Hengyun Company, which has only one month left, is obviously too late.

That's why they guessed that the new boss was most likely not going to go public through a backdoor listing. And now, it feels like it may be after the backdoor listing, the minds of these executives are alive.

As we all know, listing can be equated with circle money. If they could buy some shares of Hengyun before going public, wouldn't they be able to make a small profit?

However, they are executives of Hengyun Company, and if they want to buy and sell their company's shares, they will be restricted by various rules, and now at this sensitive point in time, they have no way to buy stocks in the market...... Unless the new boss is willing to give them some of his shares.

Thinking of this, many executives are much more eager. If they perform better before the company is backdoor listed, and get a little bit of the stock, it's blood!

Luo Yin didn't know what everyone was thinking, he looked at the executives who suddenly had a light in his eyes, and he was suddenly a little inexplicable.

He said that one was going to lay off employees, why are these people so excited? Do these people want to receive a compensation for being laid off?

couldn't figure it out, so Luo Yin didn't think about it anymore. The layoffs he is talking about are not just layoffs of ordinary employees, these executives also have to be laid off.

Some of the companies are too bloated, there are too many useless things, and these are completely unnecessary. At this time, someone frowned and said, "Mr. Jack, may I ask us to lay off employees - oh no, what is the proportion of optimization?" Luo Yin thought for a while and said, "More than eighty percent." ”

"......" everyone was dumbfounded, laying off more than 80% of the staff? This is outrageous, isn't it? If it is a normal time, it is very troublesome to want to lay off so many people at once.

As a regular large company, you can hire many people at once, but you can't lay off too many people at once.

Layoffs above a certain number need to be reported to the relevant authorities. However, now the situation of Hengyun Company is different, not to mention that the company has come to the end of the road, but it is really difficult, and if it is not good, it will directly file for bankruptcy.

If you go bankrupt, you're laying off 100 percent of your employees. If the company does not go bankrupt, it is not unacceptable to lay off 80% of its workforce at once.

Of course, having said that, this large-scale layoff is still very troublesome, and there are still many links that need to be cleared in between.

After Luo Yin's words, these executives had to break their legs. The manager of the personnel department said with a sad face: "But Mr. Jack, if we lay off so many people at one time, we won't be able to handle the goods in our warehouse, these are the ones that need a lot of manpower...... "Hengyun Company still has goods worth five million, and if you want to deal with these goods, you need a lot of manpower.

"Don't worry about those goods. I've taken care of it all. Luo Yin said directly. Hearing what the boss said, the HR manager moved his mouth, and finally nodded and didn't say anything.

He didn't know how Luo Yin dealt with it, but since the boss said so, he could only trust the boss.

After the layoffs were finished, Luo Yin listened to the work reports of some senior executives, and then waved his hand directly.

"Adjournment." This adjournment caught everyone off guard. The first formal meeting of the new boss should not talk about the future development direction of the company, and draw a picture of the pie or something.

How can a layoff be announced and it will be over? Executives are now a little confused, and they are a little skeptical that they are right to stay.

However, they soon need not be confused...... After the meeting was disbanded, Luo Yin already had his own list of layoffs in his heart.

The layoff plan he asked the executives to give was to lay off ordinary employees. And the list in Luo Yin's own heart is for the layoff of executives.

The information given to Luo Yin by the old chairman is very detailed, including the achievements of these executives in Hengyun Company.

Luo Yin had a score in his heart before, and now after observing the meeting for a while, he decided on the final list.

Those who are messing around are all gone, and those who have a certain ability can stay and observe. Those who are less capable but diligent and down-to-earth can stay.

As for those who are very capable...... There is no such person in Hengyun Company, even if there was before, people would have already jumped ship.

Now those who are still in Hengyun Company are not crooked melons and cracked dates, but in terms of personal ability, they are definitely incomparable with the talents of those large companies.

There are only a few two or three people who are still qualified in Luo Yin's eyes. Therefore, Luo Yin is ready to directly lay off a large number of executives, just leave a few people in charge.

And Luo Yin pondered whether to recruit a general manager to work. Hengyun Company did not set up a CEO, in fact, there was before, but later the old chairman abolished this position.

Hengyun Company does not have a president, and the general group will set up a president. The highest executive of Hengyun Company is the general manager.

The previous general manager was concurrently served by the chairman, and when he left, the position of general manager was naturally vacant.

And Luo Yin, the other executives of the company, can't look down on it, so it's best to hire an external one. However, with the current situation of Hengyun Company, it is obvious that it will not be able to recruit any good talents, so it can only wait first.

Luo Yin wants more than just a general manager, he prefers to be a shopkeeper, so he needs someone with certain decision-making ability, and he can be promoted to president or CEO when he turns around.

An ordinary general manager is obviously not going to do it. …… Luo Yin's arrival quickly spread in Hengyun Company, after all, the executives were in such a big battle to greet people, as long as they had long eyes, they could see it.

However, everyone still didn't know who it was, but soon, a well-informed person broke the news that the chairman had left!

All the shares in his hands were sold! The person these executives greet is their new chairman! It is also the largest shareholder who took over Hengyun Company!

The employees were very excited to get the news. At this time, if you dare to take over Hengyun Company, you must be prepared!

Doesn't that mean that their company is saved? Soon, though, they found themselves rejoicing a little too soon.

Before the end of the day, the company suddenly notified all employees that the company was going to carry out a structural optimization next.

And the so-called structural optimization is layoffs! And it's a massive layoff! Wow - now, the employees are undecided.

They don't know exactly how large the layoffs will be, but since the company has said it

The word "massive" is certainly not a figure of speech. Layoffs are the second most feared situation for employees, and the first is mass layoffs.

The job is gone! Employees are worried, panicked, and even angry. But none of this helps, and layoffs are not subject to their will.

Even if they report to the government department, it is useless, the company is about to go bankrupt, what is the big deal about laying off a person.

The next day, a lot of reporters came. It is estimated that some employees who knew that they would be laid off were unhappy and poked this matter out.

Maybe it's the idea of disgusting Hengyun Company, or maybe it's to see if you can kidnap it morally.

Anyway, a lot of reporters came, and they were aggressive. When the reporter indicated that he requested an interview, Luo Yin did not refuse, but set the time for the interview to be in the afternoon.

Of course, Luo Yin himself will definitely not show up, it is the manager of the public relations department who shows up. The PR manager is a woman in her thirties with a flamboyant appearance and a devilish figure, named Andrea.

At her age, she is full of femininity, and she is a well-deserved flower of the company. Of course, it is definitely impossible to be a vase who can be the manager of the public relations department, Andrea's ability is actually okay - Hengyun Company is lonely like this, but her reputation is okay, and she also has a credit in it.

This is also one of the few capable people that Luo Yin feels. It's just that now, Andrea looks at so many reporters, and her heart is bitter.

Mr. Jack has a big problem for her! It's not that she doesn't know how to tell reporters, but that if she says these things, she will offend other executives in the company.

The layoffs were proposed by Mr. Jack, but Mr. Jack was both the chairman and the majority shareholder...... How dare she say?

So what to do? Then you can only find someone to carry this pot. When Mr. Jack handed her a layoff document in front of everyone, she knew who was going to carry the pot - because it was signed by many executives.

However, Andrea is also a little lucky, fortunately she is from the public relations department and did not participate in the discussion of layoffs, otherwise it is estimated that her name will be published in the newspaper like everyone else tomorrow.

Alas...... She sighed in her heart, but Andrea still showed a look of control on her face, and walked to the stage with a smile.

When the reporters saw Andrea, they were like cats seeing fish, and they all spoke very quickly.

"Ms. Andrea, I heard that your company plans to lay off 50 percent of its workforce? Is there such a thing? ”

"Ms. Andrea, some people say that such a large-scale layoff in your company is an irresponsible act for society, what do you think about this?"

"Ms. Andrea, who is leading the mass layoffs?"

"Ms. Andrea...... "In the face of so many reporters' questions, Andrea did not panic at all, she pressed her hands weakly, and waited until no one spoke anymore, she smiled and said: "Our company will carry out a structural optimization in the next period of time." It will cut a lot of departments with duplicate responsibilities and easy to cause waste of resources. Naturally, then, there won't be a need for so many employees, so layoffs are real. But I would like to correct that the number of people in our structural optimization this time is not 50 percent, but 80 percent...... "Wow - all the reporters on the scene were in an uproar."

A 50% layoff is already unprecedented, but I didn't expect it to be more than that, and it was even 80% off!

This is outrageous! The reporters were a little skeptical that they had misheard. Although Hengyun Company has experienced several layoffs, which one time has not been laid off a little bit before, which is like this time, directly cut so many!

"Some people say that our company's layoffs are an irresponsible act for society? I'm sorry, but I beg to differ. Because there are too many departments with duplicate responsibilities, they will actually waste a lot of social resources! After our company is optimized, each employee will be able to give full play to his or her ability, and there will be no waste. We want to use less resources and create greater value to give back to the society! "The reporters are also people who have seen the big scene, but listening to Andrea's words, they don't know what to say for a while.

In the past, when I interviewed other companies about layoffs, they didn't say anything, the overall economic situation was bad, the company's profits were too poor, it lost money, and it couldn't afford to support anything.

How can there be a person like Andrea, who directly says that in order not to waste social resources? This reason is too fresh and refined!

Looking at the reporters in the audience dumbfounded, Andrea felt a little proud in her heart, this excuse for layoffs was what she said according to Mr. Jack

"Structural optimization of the company". Since it is optimized, it means creating more value with fewer resources!

"As for who came up with this layoff plan...... Of course, this is not decided by one person, but by our marketing manager, production manager, sales manager and other people to jointly study and decide! As soon as these words came out, the company executives who were watching the reporter's interview were dumbfounded.

No, can that be said? At this time, shouldn't you pretend that you didn't hear this kind of question, or simply refuse to answer?

What the hell did you confess us all? For professional workers like them, although reputation is not so important, they also have to be embarrassed!

This layoff is clearly - they didn't propose it anyway! Everyone stared at Andrea with hatred.

If you don't dare to say the name of the chairman, just throw the pot at us! As for whether it will be secretly explained by the chairman...... The chairman doesn't care about such a trivial matter, and the chairman has been with them today, and may not even have taken into account the sudden arrival of the reporter.

This must have been said deliberately by Andrea in order to curry favor with the chairman! What a hateful woman!
