Chapter 134 This promotion is too fast

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment, then called Li Shen.

“Brother Jiang, this matter is easy to handle. Just have them choose 11 people themselves. The one with the most votes will be elected Workshop Director, and so on.”

Li Shen said over the phone.

Voting is relatively the fairest selection method.

This can also indirectly exclude those who usually don't work very hard.

He had also worked in a workshop before; no matter what benefits were offered, there would always be people who would try to slack off.

However, in Manager Chen's workshop, those who originally slacked off were not so blatant in order to keep their jobs.

But if everyone's workload was tallied daily, there would still be a portion of people who did less than others.

And in their usual work, these few slow workers were indeed a bit more relaxed than others.

Everything has two sides. If you choose to be lazy in your daily work,

then in the current position selection, you will be at a disadvantage.

He believed that those who worked hard every day would not vote for those who slacked off.

Jiang Cheng said his thanks, then hung up the phone.

Looking at the employees working in the workshop, he called out to them.

“Everyone, please stop what you're doing. I have an announcement to make.”

As Jiang Cheng's voice fell, all the employees put down their work and looked at Jiang Cheng curiously, wondering what was happening.

“Since the new workshop will recruit a large number of new employees, Manager Chen has decided to select one Workshop Director, two Team Leaders, and eight Group Leaders. Once the new employees are on board, you will be responsible for leading and training them.”

“After taking on these positions, your salaries will also increase accordingly. Group Leaders will get a 1000 increase, Team Leaders a 2000 increase, and the Workshop Director a 3000 increase.”

Listening to Jiang Cheng's words, everyone showed shocked expressions.

They had just received news this morning that employees who had worked for three full months would receive a 1000 salary increase. All the people in the workshop now were old employees who had worked for three full months.

So, they had already received a 1000 salary increase this morning!

The shopping card also increased from 500 to 1000.

And the housing/transportation subsidy was also 1000.

This was already a 2500 salary increase in total.

And this afternoon, there was also a position selection.

If one were selected as the Workshop Director, then in just one day, their salary would directly increase by 5500!

Even being a Group Leader was not bad. 16 into 11, who knows which 5 people would be the lucky ones.

“Brother Jiang, aren't you the Workshop Director? Why are you still selecting one?”

An employee asked curiously.

Jiang Cheng rubbed the back of his head when he heard this, and said somewhat sheepishly.

“I've been promoted to Production Department Head, so the position of Workshop Director is now vacant.”

“Congratulations, Brother Jiang!”

The employee quickly clapped his hands in congratulation upon hearing this.

Immediately after, the other employees in the workshop also started clapping.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng quickly stopped the employees' actions.

“That's enough. Let's quickly select the personnel list. The selection method will be by popular vote. Everyone take a piece of paper and write down the 11 people you think are suitable for the positions. The positions will be assigned according to the number of votes.”

Soon,

after voting, the 11 appointed employees were selected.

Jiang Cheng took the selected personnel list to Manager Chen's office, as Manager Chen needed this list to approve the salary increases.

Soon it was five o'clock, quitting time.

The company's employees walked out of the workshop one after another, heading to the company cafeteria. Everyone's face was beaming with a brighter smile than usual.

Jiang Cheng also walked out of the workshop with a smile, took out his phone, and made a call.

“Hello, Old Lu, is it convenient to talk?”

“Convenient, Old Jiang, what's up? Tell me.”

Lu Zhenguo's voice came through, accompanied by the roar of machinery.

Clearly, the other party had not yet finished work at this time.

“Didn't you keep asking me to keep an eye out for any vacant positions at our Clothing Factory? Well, there's one now. If you still want to come, I'll talk to HR tomorrow.”

“Go, why not go?”

“Alright then, I'll talk to HR tomorrow. You can resign from your current job and then come here to work. But I must warn you, our benefits here are good, but you also have to work hard. I won't show you favoritism just because you're my friend.”

Jiang Cheng said. He had asked Manager Chen about this when he submitted the employee appointment list.

Manager Chen's reply was: You are already the Production Department Head. Small matters like recruiting ordinary employees in the workshop don't need to be reported; you can directly coordinate with HR.

So, there was no problem for him to bring Lu Zhenguo into the workshop now.

“Got it, Director Jiang. With such good benefits, if I don't work hard, am I an idiot? And after I get off work, I'll treat you to a meal.”

“I'm not a Director anymore; you'll have to call me Head after you join. There's no need to eat out; the company's cafeteria is much better than those small eateries outside.”

Jiang Cheng hung up the phone right after speaking. His wife had probably already gotten his food at the cafeteria.

As for Lu Zhenguo, he had previously promised to keep an eye out for job openings at the company for him. Now that Manager Chen was expanding the workshop and needed to recruit many new employees, he took the opportunity to ask.

Moreover, Lu Zhenguo was a good worker and not someone who slacked off.

So, he felt at ease bringing him in.

Industrial Park,

at a machinery processing factory.

Lu Zhenguo stared blankly at his disconnected phone.

He's already been promoted to Head?

This promotion speed is too fast.

He remembered that last year, they were still working at the same factory, sleeping in bunk beds.

Jiang Cheng usually spoke very little, but he worked diligently, never faking it. No matter how others slacked off, he would just quietly focus on his work.

Even when the leaders came, he wouldn't speak up.

So even though he was very capable, he was not as popular as those employees who flattered others.

At that time, only he and Jiang Cheng had some affinity, often going out to eat and drink together.

Over time, they became friends.

later, due to salary issues, Jiang Cheng had some conflict with the factory and resigned directly.

But he never expected that,

the person who was doing the same job as him last year was now already a Head.

This was too demoralizing.

However, he was also lucky. It was precisely because of Jiang Cheng's existence that he could enter the Clothing Factory so easily.

You know,

the benefits at that Clothing Factory were already famous throughout the entire Industrial Park.

Many people wanted to use connections to get into the Clothing Factory but failed.

“Hey, Lu Zhenguo, didn't I say no playing with your phone during work? That's a 50 fine.”

“Also, there's some temporary work today, you'll have to work overtime to finish it!”

A slightly overweight man walked over from a distance, looking imperiously at Lu Zhenguo who was holding his phone.

“Factory Director, I just made a call and only said a few words. Please don't deduct that 50 yuan.”

Lu Zhenguo forced a smile when he heard this.

“I don't care how many words you said. If you have your phone out, I'll deduct 50 yuan. That's the factory rule.”

“If you can do it, do it. If you can't, then leave.”

The Factory Director had an unpleasant look on his face.
