An older member was scolding a younger, newer member.
The new member blushed and stammered an explanation, but was impatiently interrupted by the other party.
"Alright, alright, stop standing here in the way. Go over there and move the 'fluorescent stones.' They're low-grade materials; if you make a mistake, you can afford to pay for it."
Similar scenes occur frequently in various corners of the island.
This disharmonious atmosphere makes people feel uncomfortable and seriously affects the overall construction efficiency and team cohesion.
"Pfft! Some guys are dishonest. I saw someone deliberately hide the new guy's tools, making him search for ages and even get yelled at! That's too much!"
Yanlin likes to wander around the island when he has nothing to do, and he often encounters some friction, which he then complains to Gu Xi.
Although it can be loud and boisterous at times, it is simple-minded by nature and can't stand such despicable behavior, which reminds it of the wicked fish of the merfolk.
In fact, even if Yan Lin didn't say it, Gu Xi knew that this phenomenon was not an isolated case.
If left unchecked, it will not only dampen the enthusiasm of new members, but may also cause division and rift within the team, which is absolutely unacceptable in the face of strong competitors.
"Sun Yiming, what do you think we should do?" Gu Xi asked Sun Yiming.
Sun Yiming pondered for a moment, “Sister Xi, it’s better to guide than to suppress. The old members have indeed made many contributions. Although the new members are dissatisfied, they have also put in their labor in exchange for resources, which is understandable. Forcibly suppressing them may not be effective and may even exacerbate the conflict.”
"My idea is to clearly define the rules, strictly prohibit bullying and exclusion, and hold violators accountable. At the same time, we should create opportunities for everyone to interact and get to know each other better, eliminate barriers, and enhance relationships."
Gu Xi nodded: "That makes sense. What do you plan to do?"
“We can organize some group activities.” A shrewd glint flashed in Sun Yiming’s eyes.
"For example, pairing experienced and new employees to work together to complete challenging tasks, and giving generous rewards upon completion."
"For example, we could hold 'skill competitions.' Some newly arrived survivors possess unique skills but lack opportunities to showcase them. Letting them demonstrate their abilities would not only earn them respect but also enrich everyone's lives," Sun Yiming said, becoming increasingly excited.
Flame Scale's eyes lit up. "Pfft! We could have a cooking competition! Let's see who can grill the best fish! The best fish I've ever eaten is yours!"
Sun Yiming blushed with embarrassment at the praise, "Ahem, that's just a hobby of mine, a hobby of mine."
Gu Xi was amused by them, and the gloom in her heart dissipated considerably.
Sun Yiming's suggestion is indeed very constructive.
“Okay, I’ll leave this to you.” Gu Xi said decisively. “From now on, you and Li Ruoyang will be responsible for developing detailed work standards and reward and punishment systems, clearly prohibiting workplace bullying and passive resistance, and establishing reporting channels. Once verified, there will be zero tolerance.”
“Yes!” Sun Yiming solemnly replied.
Thus, a series of activities aimed at promoting integration between new and old members were launched in full swing on the island.
The activity, though simple, was very effective. This chapter has been read (please click to continue reading the next chapter!).
