In their hearts, they would only feel immense gratitude towards the base leader.
This results in the fact that the lower-level workers can never unite and are constantly mired in internal strife.
Li Yi was very adept at using this management approach.
Even among these high-ranking leaders, he would often use methods to sow discord and suspicion among them, thus preventing them from forming a strong opposition force.
However, the current workers at the bottom are all being exploited by high-intensity work. This unprecedented work enthusiasm, while improving the base's production efficiency and resource accumulation in the short term, is also a double-edged sword, quietly sowing hidden dangers within the base.
After all, in the past, when people worked 12 hours a day, more than 10 of them would die from exhaustion and freezing every day. Now that they work more than 16 hours a day, how can they cope?
Every day, dozens or even hundreds of people will die. If this continues, everyone will realize that they will eventually be worked to death.
Once this idea spreads, no matter how lofty his slogans are, his subordinates will not buy it; knowing they are doomed, they will fight to the death.
Although the ant's struggle couldn't shake him, it was still a troublesome matter. He would have to recruit more people and rebuild a stable system, which was really not worth the loss.
But this matter was ultimately provoked by his incentive plan. If it were rejected outright, it would not only damage his authority, but also disappoint and anger the lowly laborers who had already invested a lot of effort, thereby exacerbating the instability of the base.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Yi made a compromise decision.
He decided to adjust the working hours and intensity of the lower-level workers, but not to completely restore the previous state. Instead, he sought a balance that could maintain productivity without overworking them.
Working more than 16 hours a day is definitely not allowed. Working for such a long time in such an extreme environment is no different from suicide.
He first shortened the working hours to 14 hours a day, emphasizing that while he was pleased to see everyone's enthusiasm, health was the foundation of everything. He stressed that fixing the working hours to 14 hours was to ensure the health and safety of every member at the grassroots level, and also for the long-term stable development of the base.
Secondly, he has seen and appreciated everyone's hard work during this period. In order to recognize everyone's hard work, the base has decided to commend a group of exemplary individuals and give them generous rewards, or even opportunities for promotion.
This idea was suggested to him by Qian Peng (Chen Yu), the hero of the company he had just promoted, and he was very satisfied with it.
It seems that not all the people below are good-for-nothings; some of them are quite intelligent.
Li Yi thought that such a suggestion would not only motivate lower-level members to work harder, but also further consolidate his ruling position.
Moreover, it also legitimately increased the working hours of the lower-level laborers by 2 hours. With this combination of punishment and incentives, and the commendation of a group of role models, wouldn't the people below be extremely grateful to him?
With just a small benefit, all the cattle and horses would work an extra two hours without complaining. Li Yi felt that he had played this move very well.
Overjoyed, he immediately entrusted the selection of "model fund investors" to "Qian Peng".
