Park Jin Hyuk crossed his legs and looked up at Hyun Yi Soo.
"Some bosses often say, 'You've done a good job, but if you're rewarded, those who aren't will feel unbalanced. So, let's just leave it at that for now. Don't get discouraged. Keep working hard, and I'll definitely reward you next time.' But I have to say, that's absolutely stupid! It's idiotic logic!"
Liu Zhengjie had heard these words countless times.
Every time he signed a contract, his boss would use such words to evade him. Thinking about it now, he still feels indignant.
After experiencing this kind of thing a few times, he realized that the so-called reward was purely a blank check. He no longer believed in it and his motivation was gone.
Because Park Jin Hyuk has experienced this firsthand, he would never do that if he were his own boss.
"The so-called psychological imbalance is what the people above think. In fact, the people below think, since others have won bonuses, I can also get a bonus through hard work!"
Seeing Park Jin Hyuk's extremely firm attitude, Xuan Yizhu stopped refuting.
"We have to constantly inspire the enthusiasm of those below us. You and the three team leaders have a goal in mind, which is to promote me to a higher position, but the others don't have this awareness. They don't care whether I will be promoted or not."
“Don’t you all want to revive DS construction?”
"Deputy Director Xuan, you've been at the top for too long and have no idea what people down there are thinking. You can't use your own understanding to understand those people down there. They don't have such lofty ideals and goals."
Park Jin Hyuk stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
"I can only have a future if the company thrives. People used to think that way, but now most people don't think that way anymore. If the company isn't doing well, just leave. Why hang on to that tree? The goal of most employees is to make money; making money is their biggest motivation for work."
"How much bonus are you going to give them?"
"Five times the basic salary."
"Five times?! This isn't a year-end bonus, how can you give me that much..."
"Because it's not a year-end bonus, we only considered five times the amount. If it were a year-end bonus, we would give more. Giving a few hundred thousand just for show wouldn't achieve anything."
"Director, if this is the case, labor costs will exceed the budget."
"Labor costs? ...That's not something you should be talking about. I, your boss, should be talking about it."
Xuan Yizhu fell silent.
Indeed, if you care more about labor costs than your boss, you will be scolded by other employees.
However, Xuan Yizhu always felt uneasy. Park Zhenhe's behavior was too unusual.
"Deputy Director Hyun, let's do the math. The Organization Restructuring Department has 50 employees. I don't know their base salary, but five times that, at most, wouldn't that mean each person would get more than 20 million won? That's a total of 1 billion won. A company with 2 trillion won in annual revenue can't afford 1 billion in bonuses, right?"
Park Jin Hyuk picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put away the smile on his face.
"A company that keeps clamoring about controlling labor costs won't accomplish anything great. Instead, it should consider whether there's something wrong with its own management capabilities."
In the past, Liu Zhengjie's boss always said that employees' salaries were too high and affected the company's operations. He wanted to curse whenever he thought of this.
Park Jin Hyuk had a stern face and tapped his fingers on the contract in Hyun Yi Soo’s hand.
"We should be focusing on how to avoid this kind of loss. With such a huge loss, I don't know how many bonuses we can give to our employees. We're not strict when we should be, and we're so stingy with our rewards. We can't run a company like this."
"But the organizational restructuring hasn't finished yet, and we're already paying out bonuses..."
"This isn't a salary increase, it's a bonus, my dear Deputy Director Xuan! Is it unreasonable to reward employees for their achievements?"
Park Jin Hyuk laughed.
He took a step forward and brushed off a small piece of dust stuck on Xuan Yizhu's shoulder.
"It's normal. When people take out money, they are reluctant to spend it. If the money is used well, it can produce unexpected results. Just wait and see."
Xuan Yizhu knew that he couldn't argue with Park Jin Hyuk, so he shook his head helplessly.

The news that bonuses would be given to those in the organizational restructuring department quickly spread throughout the company.
When they first heard about it, most people expressed their understanding.
It has been two months since we moved into DS Construction, and the people in the organizational adjustment department have been constantly busy.
They worked overtime all night for several weeks in a row to reorganize business directions and review ongoing projects.
They all looked haggard and exhausted, and everyone saw the hard work and effort they had put in.
Some people even said privately that Director Park was too harsh in ordering his people around, and in order to achieve results, he completely disregarded the lives of his subordinates.
Fortunately, after two months of hard work, he achieved obvious results. Unqualified executives were dismissed and the receivables from the Basmaya project were recovered. Therefore, many people recognized him.
However, when they heard the amount of the prize, there was an uproar and everyone lost their composure.
A reward of tens of millions for one person? And this is just a temporary reward, there might be more at the end of the year?
In the company's smoking area, the employees started talking while smoking.
"Isn't this too much? You're only giving bonuses to the people you brought. Is now the time to give bonuses?"
"The company is still undergoing organizational restructuring, yet they're giving employees bonuses? ...Isn't that inappropriate?"
"You're out of your mind!"
"I don't think so."
