Chapter 2 Salary Cut
"That's right, I raised another 300 million to pay everyone's salary and for the final fight!" Feng Feifei said.
"300 million? What's that enough for? Can it support the completion of a new product?"
"Yes, even if it is completed, what if the research and development direction goes wrong again?"
"I understand everyone's concerns, and I thank you all for your unwavering support for the company and me along the way. The future is uncertain, and I have no confidence. Therefore, to thank everyone for their efforts, if you voluntarily resign now, the company will still provide N+1 months of compensation!"
Not to mention voluntarily resigning, many companies will try every possible means to avoid compensation when laying off employees. Feng Feifei was able to do this during such a difficult period. I have to say that this woman's character is worthy of praise.
"It's true, although Ms. Feng is a woman, she is really generous in her actions!"
"So what should we do? Should we leave or stay? Mr. Feng treated us like this. It would seem unkind of us to just walk away."
"A favor? If you leave now, you can get N+1 compensation. But when she goes bankrupt, you won't be able to give her any compensation even if she wants to."
"Yeah, we still can't be soft-hearted. Let's take the money and leave."
In the end, most people chose to take the compensation and leave, leaving only two people at the scene.
Feng Feifei felt very complicated, feeling relieved, sad, and surprised!
Now that everyone has left, it's like she's starting a business for the second time, with a lighter load and no longer feeling guilty about facing the old employees.
Everyone left, and no old employee was willing to stay and share the hardships with her. Although she had expected this, the fickleness of human nature made her feel mixed emotions after experiencing it.
What surprised her was that there were actually people willing to stay. One was in finance, and since most of the people in finance were her own people, it was not surprising that they stayed. The other was actually a new employee who had just been working there for a month.
She was the one who interviewed Chen Xiao. She had the impression that he was a young man with no industry experience. He had just been working there for a month and had just finished his pre-job training. He had never even had any contact with clients.
"Boss Feng! Everyone's gone!"
Everyone went to the Human Resources Department to settle their wages and compensation. Xia Yun, the finance officer who stayed behind, said with some sadness.
"Yeah, everyone who shouldn't have left has left!"
Chen Xiao looked a little embarrassed. What does this mean? Does it mean that those who should have left didn't leave?
Feng Feifei obviously noticed that Chen Xiao's expression was not right, and quickly said, "Chen Xiao, don't get me wrong, I mean that even the R&D and marketing staff have left, and the core team will be reorganized later!"
Chen Xiao thought to himself: "It doesn't matter whether it's a misunderstanding or not. Even if you really think I should leave, I won't leave for the sake of the overall situation of the minimum living allowance."
He took a few steps forward and said, "Mr. Feng, don't be discouraged. With a technical expert like you and a salesperson like me, the company will definitely be able to revive!"
Feng Feifei made him laugh. She wondered where his confidence came from. She wasn't worried about the technical aspects, as she was the chief scientist. As long as she could thoroughly research customer needs, she could handle product development. The key was funding. As for his sales, Feng Feifei didn't hold out much hope. He'd only been there a month and hadn't even finished his probation period.
"Chen Xiao, thank you for your encouragement and support! To be honest, I don't have that much confidence, because 300 million is a drop in the bucket for product development. Moreover, after deducting the compensation for everyone, there will only be less than 300 million left, which is all I have!"
Perhaps it was because Chen Xiao was the only non-direct employee who stayed, or perhaps Chen Xiao's concern for the company was too sincere. She even had a feeling that Chen Xiao cared about the company's growth more than she, the boss!
But as a newcomer, he thought things were too simple. The business done by Dr. Feng's Robot Company is all TOB or TOG. Without strong personal connections, it is very difficult to advance the business.
The company's previous business team did not receive any orders this year, and some orders were still from previous years.
Perhaps she couldn't bear to dampen Chen Xiao's enthusiasm, so she spoke in a very gentle and apologetic tone, "Chen Xiao, the company definitely can't rely on the three of us, so we still need to add new people immediately, especially to the sales team!"
Chen Xiao nodded. This was as it should be. Not only did the business team need to expand, but pre-sales personnel were also needed. Pre-sales personnel were responsible for product plan formulation, roadshows, and introductions to product technical points, and they would work closely with sales staff.
"However, the company's cash flow is very tight right now. Regarding the salaries of sales staff, I plan to lower their base salaries and increase their commissions. This way, if there are no orders, the company's expenses will be reduced; if there are orders, the sales staff will earn more for their work."
There is another meaning behind this, which is screening. Those who are not sure that they can get the order will not come. Those who dare to come must be sure and believe that they can get more returns with high commission bonuses. This type of people often have good industry customer resources and strong personal connections.
She needs the second type of people more now.
She informed everyone of the company's financial situation today. On the one hand, this was because she was responsible for her employees. On the other hand, she wanted to streamline the workforce by preventing those who had not shared the company's hardships from leaving on their own. Those who stayed were truly willing to work with her, and these people would serve as her core team in the future.
The first goal was achieved, but the streamlining was a bit excessive, and the number of people who stayed was unexpected.
Chen Xiao's face was a little ugly. Looking at Feng Feifei who was hesitant to speak, he said, "Mr. Feng, can you please tell me clearly?"
Feng Feifei apologized, "You know, we have the same salary for the same position, so your benefits may also need to be adjusted. After the adjustment, the base salary will be 4000 yuan per month, and the sales commission will be increased from 2% to 5%. I know this is difficult to accept, so if you choose not to accept it now, I understand. I am willing to give you an extra month's salary as compensation!"
The same position she refers to is business personnel at the same level. For example, Chen Xiao's department is the business department, and his level is P5. The newcomer is also P5, so they should have the same salary and pay. Of course, there is an issue of seniority here. If the length of service is long, there will be a small salary increase. Chen Xiao has only been here for a month and obviously there is no such problem.
Of course Chen Xiao was unwilling to accept it. His heart was bleeding. Miss, do you know how much my subsistence allowance has been reduced by your policy?
"I'm sorry, Chen Xiao. You can think about it. Stay or leave. I can accept either outcome!"
Chen Xiao's expression was as if he had constipation, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I've thought about it. I'll stay!"
Feng Feifei was a little touched. What a good employee. No matter how hard he was treated at work, he still treated his work like his first love.
