Chapter 193 Clear Rewards and Punishments
"The date is set for next Monday, County Chief Wei. I would also like to make a request regarding the factory, in addition to recruiting people. If you can agree to this, I can consider hiring not only thirty, but fifty people."

Another request? Director Yan, standing nearby, broke out in a cold sweat as he listened. One after another.

No wonder Sisi called him over.

County Chief Wei wasn't annoyed; he was just curious about what Ji Sisi would ask for. "Tell me," he said.

"It means I have the authority to dismiss people at will."

Strictly speaking, Ji Sisi is now the person in charge of the factory and has the authority to dismiss people. However, there is no reason in this society to dismiss people arbitrarily. Even if someone makes a mistake, it is usually just a verbal warning or a public notice.

"What do you mean?"

"They have the right to fire anyone who violates the rules, or who does something that is bad for the factory or even damages the factory's reputation."

Ji Sisi voiced her concerns, "I'm worried that people will say I'm exploiting and oppressing others, so I came to County Chief Wei to ask for a get-out-of-jail-free card."

There will only be more competitors in the future, so she has to keep a close eye on the people in the factory.

Let them know that if they don't do a good job, they'll be fired; the idea of ​​just loafing around won't work. If they don't want to do something, someone else will be waiting to do it.

This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one; as long as it doesn't escalate, it's all minor.

Of all the factories in Lu County, there really isn't one like Ji Sisi.

County Magistrate Wei's expression tightened and became serious.

Ji Sisi also had her own considerations in this regard, hoping that the Huaihua Food Factory would continue to grow and prosper.

"Why do you think that?"

Rather than whether he agreed or disagreed, County Chief Wei was more interested in knowing Ji Sisi's thoughts.

"I'm a straightforward person, and if I've said anything that's offensive or unpleasant, I hope County Chief Wei won't hold it against me."

"This is because the country provides too comfortable a life for its employees, leading some to become overly indulgent, resulting in a lack of motivation and drive to climb the corporate ladder."

It's unfair that responsible employees are overworked while lazy, unproductive employees enjoy the same benefits.

This is also the main reason why the "iron rice bowl" system failed in China.

If they can enjoy the same welfare benefits no matter what, then why bother working so hard? It is China that will provide for them.

However, regardless of whether the factory makes a profit or loss, wages will still be paid as usual. Later, around the 80s, state-owned factories that were flooded by individual businesses gradually declined and began to go bankrupt.

Ji Sisi's remarks, though bold, are also a reflection of reality.

After considering it several times, County Chief Wei nodded in agreement, "Okay, I agree with what you said."

Ji Sisi was relieved. If anyone dared to report her again, she would bring this up.

It should be noted that this matter was approved by the county magistrate, who was not an ordinary commune leader, which would reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble for the commune leaders.

"Thank you so much, County Head!"

County Chief Wei shook his head helplessly. This woman really had ideas; she could think of so many things.

Director Yan, standing nearby, was dumbfounded, never expecting that the county magistrate would actually agree to everything.

Once the schedule was finalized, the commune would handle the rest of the arrangements, and the food factory would simply need to make the payment.

Back at the factory, Ji Sisi made a list, most of which contained items from the employee handbook.

The only change is that the prohibition and public criticism have been replaced with the serious offense of dismissal.

Everyone was in the workshop during work hours, but when it was time to leave, it started to cause discussion. Instead of leaving, everyone stood on the bulletin board.

"What does the manager mean this season? He wants to fire people. Big factories don't dare to fire people easily. Does that mean we're really going to be fired for doing these things?" A more educated person said, "A shallow pond has many turtles, and a small temple has many demons. Our factory's conditions are not as good as others, and our rules are stricter than other factories."

"Say less, if everyone just stops doing this, then none of this will happen. Why are you all worrying about this?"

"In other words, open your eyes and see for yourselves. Do you still have the nerve to stay after doing these things?"

The two sides were arguing fiercely.

"Excuse me, everyone, please make way! I still have some stuff to put up!" Ma Xiaoqin couldn't squeeze in and could only stand outside the crowd and shout at the top of her lungs.

The crowd immediately fell silent and turned to make way for them.

When everyone saw Ma Xiaoqin posting things again, some people asked without even looking, "Xiaoqin, what are you posting this time? Is Manager Ji's statement real or fake? Will people be fired if they really do something wrong?"

As Ma Xiaoqin posted the stickers, she explained, "If they're all posted, how could they be fake?"

"Sister Niu is right. If you hadn't done it, none of this would have happened."

"What I'm posting now are the promotion rules. From now on, there will be one promotion opportunity and one salary adjustment opportunity per year. It all depends on everyone's performance. Those who perform well will definitely get promoted and receive a raise."

"In addition, as long as our factory is profitable, we will not only receive year-end gifts but also bonuses at the end of the year. If we do well, it will be a month's salary, and if we don't earn much, it will be half a month's salary."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

This is a rule that other state-owned factories do not have.

This good news warmed people's hearts, and the group that was arguing just moments before started cheering.

The salary is secondary; what matters most is the wages you actually receive!
Ji Sisi watched from the second floor as everyone happily dispersed and went home.

"Manager Ji, aren't you leaving yet? You've been out all day, why don't you go home and rest earlier?"

Ji Sisi gathered her thoughts and looked away from the notice board.

"I'll go back as soon as I'm done. Your home is far away, so hurry back. It's getting cold now, and it gets dark faster every day."

Winter is fast approaching, and it's only five o'clock now, but the sky is already overcast. It gets dark even earlier when it rains.

"Then I'll head back first." Ma Xiaoqin finished packing her things and went downstairs. Soon, her figure could be seen at the gate.

Once the factory stabilizes and major expenses cease, Ji Sisi genuinely wants to build another dormitory building to make it more convenient for those who live far away, especially women, as walking at night is unsafe.

For people like Ma Xiaoqin who live far away, it's already pitch black by the time they get home, so they have to rely on flashlights for light on the way.

Huaihua Primary School.

Ji Sisi and Hu Zhibin arrived at Huaihua Elementary School early in the morning with their goods.

Ji Sisi had only heard locals say that Huaihua Primary School was dilapidated before, but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she realized that it was much more dilapidated than she had imagined.

The roof leaked light, and because of the rainy season, there were several puddles in the classroom, and there were barely ten desks to spare.

Ji Sisi heard from her teacher that the desks were brought from home and there was no tuition fee, but the prerequisite was that students had to bring their own desks. Anyone who had a desk could attend school.

The teaching environment was so harsh that Ji Sisi even considered donating more.

"Principal Zhang."

Hu Zhibin, who was standing nearby, walked over to an elderly comrade.

The old man had gray hair and a hunched back. He was dressed in a faded light blue Zhongshan suit, appearing in formal attire before everyone.

"This is Principal Zhang of Huaihua Primary School, and I am also his student."

Hu Zhibin proudly introduced Principal Zhang.
