Chapter 76: Coming so early?
The wife pressed the light switch on the wall, making the room a little brighter.
The two of them walked forward together and read the thick employee code of conduct together.
"The first rule of the employee code: The company will not allow employees to come in early or leave late, or to behave in a way that seriously affects work efficiency!"
Well, not allowing lateness or early departure is reasonable.
Most companies will deduct wages if you are one minute late, and being late for more than an hour will be considered absenteeism and a full day's wages will be deducted.
"Wait, that doesn't seem right!" As the wife was reading, she suddenly realized that the order of a sentence in the first employee code was not right. "Is this sentence in your employee code wrongly ordered? It should be about being late and leaving early, right?"
What is early arrival and late departure? "It should be a typo. It's not a big deal. Let's look at the next rule." Song Lixin looked down. "The second rule is that our company does not allow any form of overtime."
The wife couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw this rule, and her tone was filled with dissatisfaction towards her husband's new boss: "It means that all overtime work in the company is 'voluntary' and no overtime pay will be given... You, hey. You must take care of your health."
Although the salary is high, it can be seen from this employee code of conduct that the boss is a rather harsh person towards his employees.
How can your body handle the constant high-intensity overtime work?
Song Lixin smiled: "The boss offers such a high salary, it is impossible for him to hire someone who loses money. It's okay to work overtime, just relax."
At least Mr. Yang is different from other bosses who only talk empty words but don't give benefits. Although he talks a lot about dreams, he is also very clear when it comes to paying wages.
As long as the money is in place, you will be motivated to work hard!
The wife also understands this truth. Good jobs are hard to find these days, and it is not easy for her husband to get this opportunity.
"Let's take a look at the third one..."
"Article 3: The company does not allow employees to discuss work-related matters outside of working hours."
After finishing reading, Song Lixin and his wife fell silent.
If they could use their reading comprehension ability to analyze Yang Ruoqian's intentions for the first two employee rules, this one was really difficult to understand.
"Maybe they are worried that their employees might leak business secrets?" The wife was confused and could only think of one possible explanation.
Song Lixin turned the page of the employee code of conduct and continued reading.
"Article 4: All employees can take one day of paid personal leave each month."
"Article 5: All employees must take half an hour during working hours (9:00-12:00, 14-17:00) to relax in the massage room every day."
"Article 6: Being late or leaving early for less than one hour is permitted by the company and will not result in salary deductions."
"Article 7: If employees are too sleepy, they can sleep during working hours to restore their energy and thus improve work efficiency."
"Article 8: All work-related expenses of employees must be reimbursed by the company and are not allowed to be paid out of their own pocket."
"Article 9: The company will provide different free meals every day. You can apply for what you want to eat at any time."
"Article 10..."
The more they read the employee code of conduct, the more confused Song Lixin and his wife became.
"Is this employee code of conduct really correct?" The wife's eyes were full of confusion. "Why does it feel like it's just a joke?"
It seems that the person who wrote this rule wants all employees to just get paid and not work! If an employee works even one extra minute, it will cost the boss his life?
Song Lixin shook his head, and suddenly his mind popped up the incredible entertainment areas and the extremely luxurious employee canteen of Kuiguang Company. For some reason, a very absurd and incredible guess emerged in his mind.
Could it be that this is the nature of the company?
No, how could a big company that rents an entire floor of an office building be so casual?
It must be that as a newcomer, I didn't understand the mystery behind this employee code of conduct.
"I'll ask my colleagues tomorrow. It's a very formal and large entertainment company. It should be that we just misunderstood it." Song Lixin said, and suddenly frowned, "Why is there a burnt smell?"
The smell of burning...
The wife jumped up and ran to the kitchen: "The kitchen forgot to turn off the fire!"
"Why are you so careless!" Song Lixin was shocked and hurried over to help.
"It's not all your fault. I was so busy reading the employee rules with you that I forgot to turn off the stove!"
…
The next day, Song Lixin dressed up carefully, hoping to leave a good impression on his new colleagues.
Song Lixin has worked in a place like a TV station where interpersonal relationships are complicated, and he knows some workplace skills better than other employees.
He knew that arriving too early would be inappropriate, as it would appear too deliberate or flattering, which would easily lead to his colleagues' dislike. Arriving too late would be even worse, as the boss would definitely not appreciate an employee who was late on the first day of work.
So, the time point of 8:55 is just right.
Song Lixin looked in the mirror in the elevator, straightened his collar, and walked into the office with confidence.
"Good morning, everyone..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that the entire company was empty, except for a night-shift security guard who was dozing off at the elevator door! Where was he?
How could such a large company still be dark and desolate at nearly nine o'clock? If he hadn't seen so many employees busy in the company yesterday, Song Lixin would have suspected that Kuiguang Company had gone bankrupt.
What's going on?
Could it be that there was a temporary holiday notice, but the new employee was forgotten to be told?
Song Lixin was disheveled in the wind, at a loss, when he suddenly heard a question in a thick dialect.
"Nian Qingren, are you new here?" The night shift security guard yawned. "In our company, the earliest employee to arrive is after 9:05. You're here too early."
"The earliest one didn't arrive until 9:05?" Song Lixin felt like he was listening to a fairy tale. "They come so late, aren't they afraid that their boss will deduct their wages?"
The security guard chuckled, "Our boss doesn't deduct money for being late, but only for coming early. No one wants to be deducted, so they have to come late."
No deduction for being late, only deduction for being early...
Song Lixin was shocked and suddenly remembered the first item in the employee code of conduct.
That “leave late and arrive early” that my wife thought was a typo, could it be that it wasn’t actually a typo?
What kind of company did he enter? "8:55, you can go in, take a seat first." The security guard checked the time and let Song Lixin into the office.
Song Lixin sat on the sofa near the front desk as if sleepwalking.
It was not until after nine o'clock that a sound was heard from the elevator. Wen Lianji, who had also just started working, came out and skillfully turned on the company's power with a few clicks.
When she saw Song Lixin, she was stunned for a moment: "A new colleague, you came so early?"
Song Lixin had memorized everyone in the company, and knew that the young woman in front of him was his agent, so he quickly stood up and greeted her: "Ah, hello, Sister Wen... I'm new here, sorry..."
Although I am definitely much older than Wen Lianji, I should call her "sister" in the workplace.
Moreover, she was also present during the interview yesterday, so she could be considered as my superior.
"It's okay, you'll get used to it." Wen Lianji remembered that she was like this a few days ago, and couldn't help laughing, "When the boss comes, we'll discuss your live broadcast plan together."
"Thanks……"
Before he finished speaking, another voice came from the elevator.
Then two senior executives of the company, Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing, came out and greeted Wen Lianji: "Xiao Wen, why are you here so early again today?"
"Good morning, Mr. Yang!" Wen Lianji said loudly.
Yang Ruoqian never accepted the flattery from his employees. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you two come to my office to discuss the content of the first live broadcast."
