The words of Superintendent Baima were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Matsumoto Kiyonaga opened his mouth wide, not understanding why he was asking Sakaki Makoto for his opinion.
Although Makoto Sakaki helped the police solve several cases, he was ultimately just a young man in his twenties.
What useful suggestions could he make?
In the eyes of Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the actions of Superintendent Hakuba were tantamount to throwing everything into the air.
"Superintendent of Police White Horse..."
Matsumoto Kiyonaga couldn't help but say.
“There’s no need to ask for his opinion…”
“We can change slowly…”
"Inspector Matsumoto."
Superintendent Baiba put away his amiable smile and his expression became solemn and serious.
“No matter whose opinion it is, there is merit in it.”
“Isn’t it because the Metropolitan Police Department has come to this point today that it is complacent?”
"Young people nowadays don't want to join the Metropolitan Police Department. Their dream is to become a private detective!"
"If we continue like this, who will be able to take on the responsibility of the Metropolitan Police Department after we retire?"
Sakaki Makoto nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The words of the White Horse Police Chief finally got to the point.
The problem is not what young people think, but what the Metropolitan Police Department should do.
Everyone wants to be a detective. Isn't this the tragedy of the Metropolitan Police Department?
"Mr. Sakaki, please go ahead."
The White Horse Superintendent said sincerely, "Whether it's advice or a reprimand, I'm willing to listen to your opinion."
As for the thoughts of young people, Superintendent Baima thought he had some say.
Because his son, Bai Ma Tan, calls himself a detective all day long.
I was chasing that Kaito Kidd around everywhere and had no appetite.
Once he gets the information about Kidd, he won't even care about him as his father anymore and will chase him all over the world.
The White Horse Police Chief had some plans in mind...
How he wished that Detective Hakuba could focus on how to be a policeman!
This was one of the reasons why he decided to ask Sakaki Makoto today.
Only young people can understand the thoughts of young people.
Maybe... Makoto Sakaki can give him some inspiration?
Sakaki Makoto stared at the bowl of pork chop rice in front of him that was gradually getting cold and swallowed imperceptibly.
No way, I'm hungry...
I was soaked to the skin and was planning to go home to take a shower and eat a bowl of instant noodles with eggs...
As a result, he was taken to the Metropolitan Police Department.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit heavy, and he was too embarrassed to pick up the bowl to eat, not to mention that he had just said that he was not hungry...
There is no other way, we can only fight quickly and decisively.
Sakaki Makoto's eyes became serious, and he raised his head:
"What Superintendent Baiba said just now is correct."
"The real problem lies with the Metropolitan Police Department itself."
"Or, in other words, it is the seniority system that has constrained Japan's development."
Hearing this, Superintendent Baiba straightened up subconsciously.
"Oh? Mr. Sakaki, are you dissatisfied with the seniority system?"
"certainly."
Sakaki took out his cigarette case, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Can we smoke here?"
Superintendent Hakuba looked at Makoto Sakaki deeply and asked someone to bring an ashtray.
Snap!
After lighting a cigarette, Sakaki Makoto continued:
"The current employment system of the Metropolitan Police Department is based on a seniority-based system and a lifetime employment system."
"That is to say, once hired, you cannot be fired unless there are special circumstances."
"With such a stable job, young people who join the Metropolitan Police Department will feel that they will have no worries for the rest of their lives. How can they work hard?"
"The seniority system that emerged at this time further dampened the desire of young people to strive for progress."
The so-called seniority system is a system of promotion based on seniority. The older the employee is and the longer he or she has worked for the company, the higher his or her salary will be.
Under the seniority system, it is the length of service rather than the position and contribution that determines an employee's basic salary.
Only if your academic qualifications, abilities, and contributions far exceed those of others can you be promoted exceptionally.
On the contrary, if you have no special contributions and your abilities are not far superior to others, you can only gain experience year after year if you want to get promoted.
Sometimes, no matter how outstanding your abilities are, it is difficult to get promoted without a certain amount of length of service and qualifications.
This situation leads to young people having no courage and hope to struggle. They become decadent at a young age and just want to get by.
With the seniority system, lifetime employment system, and economic recession, Japan has gradually entered a low-desire society.
This is the root cause.
The White Horse Police Chief nodded in agreement and said with some satisfaction:
"I didn't expect Mr. Sakaki to be able to see this. I have a new respect for you."
After hearing Sakaki Makoto's sharp words that pointed out the root of the problem, Superintendent Hakuba's gaze towards him changed.
This person is no ordinary person.
Sakaki Makoto flicked the ash off his cigarette, leaned back in his chair, took a breath and said:
"If the Metropolitan Police Department wants to change the current situation, it must address the root cause."
“The method is also very simple.”
“Abolish the seniority system while retaining the lifetime employment system.”
"It provides young people with a path to advancement, while also making them feel that joining the Metropolitan Police Department means they have a stable job."
"Under this two-way stimulation, the Metropolitan Police Department will surely welcome a lot of fresh blood."
"no!"
Matsumoto Kiyonaga stood up and sternly rejected Sakaki Makoto's proposal.
"The seniority system is a very effective and practical system!"
