I can understand Tang Jun's anger. After all, no boss wants his company to be in a mess.
I stated calmly, "I'm also following the rules. I'm not trying to gain authority over anyone. But I won't allow anyone to take advantage of the situation under my watch."
I said objectively, "Look at Chen Xi's performance over the past year. His performance has been declining, and it's been at the bottom for over six months. In the past two months, he hasn't had any clients follow up. No company would continue to support a salesperson like him."
After hearing my explanation, Tang Jun's expression eased a little.
She glanced at the conference room, and I subconsciously glanced over as well, only to see the employees in the conference room stealing glances at us.
Tang Jun sighed helplessly, "I know you're doing this for the company's sake, but some things still need to be done in a proper way. Many of the veteran employees in the sales department were brought over from headquarters by the previous director. As the new director, I hope you can build good relationships with everyone and lead everyone to complete the project together, rather than letting me watch you all engage in intrigue."
I accepted Tang Jun’s reminder, but I also had my own ideas.
"I just hope the sales department has its own rules. Besides, now that I'm the sales director, I think I should have the right to fire people, right?"
I made a calm decision: "Chen Xi didn't meet the company's performance targets, so I'm firing him according to the rules. Since he's a long-time employee, I can follow the normal firing process and have him go to the Finance Department to receive his salary and compensation, but I won't be keeping him."
Tang Jun looked at me deeply, with complicated emotions in his eyes.
She said nothing more and turned and left.
I returned to the conference room and everyone returned to their seats.
Chen Xi fully expected Tang Jun to back him up, so he held his head high and said to me, "Boss Lan, as long as you give me a sincere apology, I'll pretend that what happened just now never happened. I can continue to stay in the sales department without any grudges."
"You're quite generous," I sneered, "but it's a pity that I have no intention of keeping you here any longer."
Chen Xi's face changed, and the pride he had just shown completely disappeared, replaced by panic and disbelief.
"Mr. Tang agreed to let you fire me? That's impossible!"
"It was my decision to fire you. Although Mr. Tang is the general manager, he still has to follow the company's rules. Your performance did not meet the company's requirements. I have the right to question your ability. Firing you is also in line with company regulations. If you have any objections, you can choose labor arbitration with me. You can pack your things now and go to the finance department to collect your salary."
"You..." Chen Xi was so angry that he couldn't say anything to refute. He gritted his teeth and said, "We'll see!"
Chen Xi walked out of the conference room and slammed the door shut, which frightened everyone else in the sales department.
Those who were originally waiting to watch the show didn't dare to look up at me at this time, and they were obviously guilty.
And I fired Chen Xi with the purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
I made it clear to everyone, "I don't care who you worked for before or who backed you. I'm now the director of sales, and everything is based on performance. I don't like employees who are slacking off. If you want to slack off in sales and just get paid the base salary, I urge you to resign as soon as possible. It will save your face."
