Chapter 122 We quit
In the storm of the financial crisis, Jiang Xue was like a lone boat struggling to move forward in the raging waves. Every step she took was extremely difficult. Although she tried her best, running around, constantly negotiating with investors and repeatedly dealing with banks, the results were minimal.
The omnipresent demon of funding shortage still holds the project back.
The huge funding gap, like an unshakable mountain, stands in the way of the project.
Faced with this almost desperate predicament, Jiang Xue had to harden her heart and make a series of difficult decisions, trying to save costs internally and give the project a glimmer of hope.
She sat in the office, surrounded by a depressing silence. The mountains of documents seemed like helpless sighs.
She frowned, the pen in her hand moved unconsciously on the paper, her mind was a tangled mess, she was thinking hard about all the possible ways to save money.
First, Jiang Xue resolutely decided to cut unnecessary administrative expenses.
The once lively team-building activities and fun-filled entertainment expenses have all been cancelled as unnecessary.
The procurement of office supplies for various non-critical positions must also be strictly controlled.
Those training courses and overseas study opportunities that people had been looking forward to had to be temporarily cancelled.
Next, there should also be appropriate reductions in employee benefits.
The once generous and attractive meal subsidies and convenient transportation subsidies have shrunk significantly, like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind.
The holiday benefits that once made people happy suddenly became dim.
These changes, like heavy hammers, hit the employees' hearts hard, making their eyes, which were originally full of expectations, instantly filled with disappointment, and their dissatisfaction could not be contained.
What was most difficult for the employees to accept was Jiang Xue's decision to increase working hours.
She knew that in this difficult time, only by asking everyone to work overtime could the delays caused by funding shortage be made up.
So she decided to increase her working hours.
She knew that this decision would inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction among employees, but at this critical moment of life and death, she seemed to have no choice.
So, Jiang Xue soon reaffirmed her idea. She felt that she had to make a difficult decision for the success of the project. "Now is an extraordinary period, and everyone should work hard for the future of the project.
I believe that as long as we get through this difficult time together, the future will be better.”
Jiang Xue encouraged herself in her heart, and her eyes revealed a hint of firmness and determination. She believed that her decision was for the common good of everyone and she had no choice.
This decision was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing huge waves and a storm.
Normal working hours have been ruthlessly extended, and the time originally reserved for rest and relaxation has also been taken up by work.
When employees learned of these adjustments, dissatisfaction quickly spread within the team.
At this moment, the workers on the construction site were even more angry and irritated. Their sweat and hard work seemed to have become worthless at this moment.
"This is too much! The benefits have been reduced and the working hours have been increased. How can we survive?"
A worker complained loudly, his voice full of despair and anger. His face was full of fatigue and dissatisfaction, as if he had lost all hope for the future.
"That's right, is she Zhou Baopi? She is a cannibal. We work so hard, but now we are treated like this." Others echoed this, their eyes revealing deep disappointment and frustration, and they were full of confusion about the future.
"We have to talk to Manager Jiang. We can't just accept these unreasonable arrangements." Another employee suggested, with a hint of firmness and courage in his voice.
They felt that they could not just endure it in silence and had to fight for their rights.
As a result, their dissatisfaction with the company became increasingly intense, their work enthusiasm was greatly affected, and their work efficiency dropped significantly.
They used resistance and defiance to silently protest against the injustice of all this.
Jiang Xue was a little disdainful of the employees' reactions.
Employees have an obligation to stand together with the company, and there is nothing wrong with her doing this.
She feels that in this critical moment, everyone should work together to overcome the difficulties.
She kept telling herself that her decision was for the continuation of the project and for everyone's future.
However, as dissatisfaction continued to accumulate, the employees finally could no longer tolerate it.
"We quit." Instigated by some radical employees, a strike action quietly came.
That feeling of dissatisfaction was like a volcano about to erupt, depressing and dangerous.
One morning, when Jiang Xue arrived at the construction site full of hope, she was stunned by the scene before her.
The construction site was silent, the machines stopped running, and the workers were nowhere to be seen.
Her heart tightened, as if being grasped by an invisible hand. Only then did Jiang Xue realize that the situation was not good.
The office was also empty; the employees were on strike!
Jiang Xue felt a wave of despair, she had never expected things to develop to this point. Her heart was filled with pain and helplessness, as if she had been abandoned by the world.
The news of the strike spread quickly and attracted attention from all parties.
The project partners began to worry about the progress of the project, and the investors also questioned Jiang Xue's management capabilities.
What made Jiang Xue feel most stressed was that her superiors were also alarmed.
When the superior learned about the strike, he was furious. He immediately called Jiang Xue to his office, his angry eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.
"Jiang Xue, look at what you have done! Why did the employees go on strike? How did you manage it?" The leader's face was terribly gloomy, and his voice was full of anger and disappointment.
His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Jiang Xue's heart hard.
Jiang Xue lowered her head, not daring to look her leader in the eye.
Although she realized that she had made a big mistake this time, she was still indignant in her heart: Is it necessary to make such a big fuss? Was I wrong to do this?
Her heart was filled with grievance and helplessness at the same time, so she defended herself.
"Boss, I have no choice. The financial crisis is too serious. I can only take these measures to save money." Jiang Xue tried to explain, her voice revealing a trace of fatigue and helplessness. She felt that she had tried her best, but she was not understood.
"No way? That's your excuse? What you're doing is just a drop in the bucket and won't do anything to ease the financial crisis. Do you know how much loss this strike has caused to the company?
Projects were delayed and reputations suffered.
You must solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself." The leader's tone was stern and resolute, and there was no room for negotiation in his words.
Jiang Xue felt a surge of grievance and dissatisfaction.
She felt that her employees did not understand her difficulties and that her superiors' reactions were a bit extreme.
She raised her chin slightly, a hint of disdain in her eyes, and said coldly: "They only know how to complain, and they don't think about the company's current situation.
I did this for the project to continue, why can't they be more understanding? The leader shouldn't blame me so indiscriminately. "
But Jiang Xue also knew that now was not the time to be angry. She had to resolve this crisis as soon as possible, otherwise her career might end here.
The project came to a standstill, and every day of delay resulted in huge losses.
Jiang Xue was extremely anxious. She knew that the crisis must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the project would face the fate of complete failure.
However, she didn't know where to start.
The employees' strike left her helpless and she fell into deep confusion and pain. She felt as if she was in a dark maze, unable to find the exit and seeing no glimmer of hope.
