It was still the familiar coffee shop. The owner at the counter was playing "Broken Bridge and Snow", which revealed his age. Zhou Yi sat opposite Fang Dazhuang, and then watched him take out the bottle of vinegar again.
He watched helplessly as the other person added it to the coffee, picked it up, took a sip, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay, Brother Zhou, tell me what's going on." Mr. Fang finally spoke.
"Ah? Oh, that's what happened..."
Zhou Yi then told the story of himself and the company. The key point was that he had signed a contract when he joined the company, but he was a rookie at that time and didn't pay attention to what was written in the contract.
He signed it as he was asked to, but not only that, they didn't give him the signed contract and just told him to keep it in the company.
This is the case with all newcomers. Many of them are thin-skinned at the beginning and believe what others say, so they can easily suffer big losses.
Hence the saying that every failure makes you wiser.
Therefore, Zhou Yi now wants to know what he should do. People are about to fire him, and he doesn't want to go to work either. He has had enough of that crappy company.
So I wanted to ask if it would have any impact if I just didn't go. After all... I had signed a contract before. This kind of thing is not a big deal if you don't care about your life, but if you really pursue it, then there will be trouble.
Across from him, Mr. Fang listened very carefully and seriously, while constantly checking some things on his notebook and taking a sip of coffee from time to time. He looked very steady and reliable.
Finally, Zhou Yi gave a brief account of the situation, moistened his lips with his coffee, and then said, "So, Mr. Fang, tell me, is there anything wrong with me not going?"
Fang Dazhuang was also drinking his coffee slowly. After finishing, he wiped his mouth and said, "Brother Zhou, you really don't want to try it? This vinegar of mine is authentic aged vinegar."
"What? Old vinegar, keep that thing away from me. I can't even imagine the smell!"
"Let me tell you, adding this aged vinegar to coffee will combine the bitterness of the coffee with the sour aroma of the aged vinegar..."
After a few words, Zhou Yi suddenly realized: "That's not right, Mr. Fang, I asked you to come here to consult me. Why are you telling me this? Hurry up, I'm paying you!"
Huh? Fang Dazhuang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then quickly sneered, "Sorry, Brother Zhou, it's my occupational disease. I always forget about our relationship..."
Zhou Yi: "..." So the occupational disease you are talking about, is it the occupational disease I understand, or the occupational disease I think of...
"Ahem, Brother Zhou, your case is very simple, just a simple labor dispute. But why aren't you going to work tomorrow?"
Now it was Zhou Yi's turn to be confused: "No, Mr. Fang, this HR, you see, has already told me very clearly that if I don't go back to work overtime today, I won't be able to go tomorrow. It will be considered as resignation."
Fang Dazhuang laughed and said, "Brother Zhou, don't worry about whether he resigned or not. He just said it to you verbally, right? There's no written agreement. Just telling you not to go to work with just words is meaningless."
"If you really don't go, then you've fallen into a trap. They just want you not to go. If you're absent for less than three days, it'll count as absenteeism, and you can be fired straight away, you know."
"Don't worry about his nonsense. As long as he doesn't fire you, just go to work as usual and don't let them find any fault with you."
Zhou Yi's face was even more confused. "But why, Mr. Fang? They really don't want me to go. If I continue to go, won't I be humiliating myself?"
"Don't worry, Brother Zhou." Lawyer Fang laughed again. "These companies are just messing with you because you don't understand labor laws."
"They'd fire you normally, but they'd have to give you advance notice and compensation. They just want you to leave on your own so you don't have to pay that money, okay?"
As Fang Dazhuang explained, Zhou Yi gradually understood that this was the root of the problem.
The company wants the employee to resign on his own, so that it doesn't have to pay a penny. However, if the company takes action, it will have to pay compensation.
"So I'll go to work as usual?"
"Yes, whatever you have to do, as long as you don't get criticized for any faults at work, just go to work and come home as usual. No matter who asks you to work overtime, just let them fire you. It's that simple."
"Also, you can secretly collect evidence during this period. I'll send the specific requirements to your phone when I'm done. If they don't give us compensation, we'll have to do what we have to do!"
"Then... okay."
Zhou Yi nodded. Since he was quitting his job now, he would stay at home anyway. It was a good opportunity to make the company uncomfortable for a while.
Otherwise it would be really bullying.
After the consultation, we paid and went home.
Zhou Yi directly set the company's HR to do not disturb messages, edited a video, and then went to bed.
As the saying goes, with books one is long, without books one is short.
Soon it was the next morning. Zhou Yi did not get up early this time. He ate leisurely, washed up leisurely, and then strolled to the company.
He kept in mind what Fang Dazhuang had taught him, not letting them find fault with their work, but still making them feel uncomfortable.
The company requires us to clock in before 9 a.m., but because of the previous internal competition, the default within the company is that we must arrive before 8:30 a.m.
Zhou Yi used to get up half an hour earlier to punch in.
And now, he really enters the company on time!
I entered the company and punched in, and then I found that the atmosphere of the whole company seemed to be off.
