Chapter 3047 Why not eat minced meat

He Yang said: "The most important difference between regular employees and outsourced employees is not their ability, salary, education, etc., but their mentality. Regular employees think that Ziweixing is my company, while outsourced employees think that Ziweixing is their company. This change can be seen from the consumption data of snacks and drinks."

Zhou Buqi asked: "After the adjustment, is there any effect?"

He Yang smiled and said, "It works, and the effect is very obvious! Before the Spring Festival, the daily consumption of snacks and drinks by employees in the company was about 26 yuan. After the Spring Festival, we took measures to limit the benefits of formal employees to outsourced personnel. According to current data, the daily consumption of each employee has dropped to 20 yuan, and it is decreasing month by month. I believe that after a few months, the sales of snacks and drinks for formal employees will return to the normal level of less than 15 yuan. This is actually a trend. If unhealthy trends are restricted, what will be purified and left in the end must be positive energy."

Zhou Buqi shook his head. "Even if there are a thousand reasons, this kind of undisguised differential treatment is open discrimination, especially when even the employee ID cards are different."

“When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one.”

"What? With whom?"

"If there is no difference in status, what should we do with our employee cafeteria? Should we let outsourced workers eat in the employee cafeteria? Again, it's not a matter of money!"

He Yang felt that Boss Zhou had been abroad for too long and had become a bit idealistic.

Only after people have solved the basic problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and have solved the problem of food and clothing, can they pursue higher spiritual pursuits.

The current employment conditions in the country are mainly aimed at meeting survival needs.

He Yang said: "There is actually a paradox here, that is, the better the benefits, the more different treatment will be given to outsourced employees. There is nothing we can do about it. What kind of companies have good benefits? There are mainly three categories, large state-owned enterprises, foreign companies and Internet giants. These companies have the same regulations, which is to prohibit outsourced personnel from entering the employee cafeteria. Because in these companies, employee cafeterias are company benefits. Companies will not make profits through employee cafeterias, but provide a benefit for employees, either free cafeterias or just a symbolic fee."

The cafeteria at Ziweixing is not free.

The reason why it is not free is just to limit the waste of employees and let them spend some money to buy it, thus limiting their extravagance by spending money.

This kind of ingredients can provide employees with the best ingredients, and it can even be said to be the most valuable employee benefit provided by the company.

This expenditure is much more than the expenses of snacks and drinks, and hundreds of millions of yuan are invested every year. Once the atmosphere of the canteen is destroyed and various wastes are caused, it may lead to losses of hundreds of millions of yuan.

If it is some ordinary institutions, some large companies that want to save money, or some small companies and universities without financial resources, outsiders can eat in the cafeteria. Because the cafeteria is not a welfare, but a business.

They all contracted out the canteens and turned them into real catering businesses.

If it is welfare, of course the fewer people the better, the fewer people, the less expenses; if it is business, of course the more people the better, the more people, the more money you make.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Then why don't you set a price range? Last time I went to report on the mobile phone industry, I went to eat in their cafeteria..."

He Yang couldn't help but laugh and interrupted him, "I know, we've all been there, haven't we? The cafeteria you mentioned has a meal standard of free for civil servants, 25 yuan for expatriates, and 40 yuan for outsiders, right?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It seems so."

He Yang said: "You are talking about the lobby on the first floor. What they provide is actually boxed lunches. You ate on the first floor? You must have gone to the second or third floor, right?"

"Yes, the third floor."

"Isn't that right? The first floor is for boxed lunches, which are meant for the general public. If you want something organic and clean, you have to go to the third floor. The second floor won't work."

"Can we have price differentiation in our cafeteria?"

Zhou Buqi's mentality was no longer as high-profile as it was at the beginning.

Reality is too complicated.

It's really not something that can be fully understood by just a little information you get from somewhere. There are so many twists and turns involved.

This shows the importance of mature and steady business leaders like Mr. He. Although he is not a tech person, no one in Ziweixing knows more about non-tech fields than him, so he has to continue working even though he has passed the internal retirement line of 45. In his current state, he will have to work until he is at least 55 or 60 years old, and his career life span is much longer than that of tech people.

He Yang sighed, "Some things are really different from what you think!"

Zhou Buqi asked for advice, smiling and said, "Can you give me some pointers?"

He Yang laughed and shook his head, then his expression became serious, "I know what you mean, it's nothing more than that you think some of the strategies the company uses to treat outsourced personnel are workplace discrimination. I admit that everyone knows that this does exist. And it does produce a lot of negative effects. But...some of your words may be a bit sharp..."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "What's there to hide? Just tell me!"

He Yang said: "'Why not eat meat?' Many times when we read this story, we treat Emperor Hui of Jin as a joke. But in fact, who is not Emperor Hui of Jin? Think about it carefully, are you using your thoughts to think about the outsourced employees in our company?"

"This……"

Zhou Buqi's expression froze and he looked a little dazed.

"You are right. There is indeed differential treatment of outsourced employees in Ziweixing. Outsourced employees are restricted in many aspects. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is workplace discrimination. But whose idea is this?" He Yang pointed at him, then at his chest. "It comes from people like you and me, from many people who have spiritual pursuits. Do you think those low-level outsourced employees will care?"

Zhou Buqi was stunned.

He Yang said indifferently: "I remembered a historical story again. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he felt that delicacies from mountains and seas were not delicious at all. He missed the steamed bread he ate when he was a beggar. He thought it was the best delicacy in the world. Even if he had to kneel down to beg, he didn't care at all. Even if he was the emperor, he didn't think it was so shameful to kneel down and beg. Instead, he would recall the unforgettable delicacy. Lao Zhou, you think their personality has been insulted. But in fact, for hungry people, being able to eat is their greatest pursuit. What's wrong with outsourcing? Doing outsourcing and making money is enough! Being an outsourcer at Ziweixing can be said to be the highest-paid outsourcing position in the country. Isn't that good enough?"

Zhou Buqi was speechless again.

He immediately realized the depth of human nature that Boss He had interpreted.

In fact, he understands all this truth.

The design and development of Internet products is meant to tap into human nature.

However, people are all made of flesh and blood.

Apart from philosophers and psychologists, who is willing to think every day from the deepest part of human nature?

He Yang went on to say, "You interviewed three outsourced employees, which is very representative. That girl is from Nankai University. She is not pursuing food and clothing. She has higher self-requirements and spiritual pursuits, so she is very painful to be an outsourcer. She can feel the discrimination in the workplace and the inequality of status. However, she is just an exception. She is a rare unicorn in the 'outsourcing world'. Most outsourced personnel are like the two male employees behind. They don't care about any personal insults at all. The salary of seven or eight thousand is enough for them to feel the great happiness of being an outsourcer in Ziweixing! You feel that outsourced employees are discriminated against, that is your feeling, not theirs. What they care about most is food and clothing, food, housing and transportation... In a word, it's money!"

"You really..."

Zhou Buqi was still speechless.

He Yang said: "Okay, let's talk about the cafeteria again. You mean that the employee cafeteria should be open to outsourced employees, but they will be charged a higher meal fee than regular employees, right?"

Zhou Buqi said "hmm".

The inappropriateness of this strategy has been realized.

He Yang said: "Snacks and drinks are provided by the company for free, which has nothing to do with money; the employee cafeteria refuses to open to outsourced employees, which is indeed a humiliation and workplace discrimination, but it has nothing to do with money. However, if the cafeteria is open, outsourced employees will have to spend more money to buy meals that regular employees can buy with very little money, which is related to money! You humiliated someone's personality, which is nothing, but you touched their money, which is very dangerous! If you are not careful, it will cause riots and strikes! Look at the delivery man of Fantuan, there are a lot of news about him on the Internet. You can scold him, humiliate him, or even make him kneel, and he will be fine. But if you affect his delivery of orders or touch his money, he will fight you to the death!"

Zhou Buqi felt that this topic was too cruel.

Why is this happening?

Is Ziweixing so low as to try to please everyone in such a matter that tramples on human nature?

After cutting and revising it several times, it not only lost its power, but also became vague and inaccurate.
