Approval Hall Management Office.
Deputy Director Liu Li walked into Zhao Jie's office and said with a smile on her face, "Director Zhao, we have been strictly enforcing discipline during this period, and the comrades have performed very well. New Year's Day is coming soon, so you think... should we relax a little..."
Zhao Jie smiled and looked at Liu Li, saying, "Deputy Director Liu, holidays are holidays, and working hours are working hours. How can you confuse the two? Rest well on holidays, and work hard on weekdays. What do you mean by relax a little?"
Liu Li smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that the work of the approval hall has been good recently... I want to let the comrades take a half-day holiday in advance..."
Good job?
Zhao Jie put away his smile, looked at Liu Li seriously and said, "What do you mean by good work? Look at what they did well? Aren't there a group of people who are late and leave early every day... Is this what you call a good job? How many days do ordinary people get to rest in 365 days a year? You always ask me for two more days of rest. If we all rest, who will the people go to for help? I tell you, strictly follow the rules. Whoever delays the people's work will be held responsible!"
Liu Li felt a little aggrieved, because she was not the first to bring this up. This was a common practice in her previous workplace, and she was usually able to take a half-day break in advance...
She stammered, "Director Zhao, I just suggested it. This is what our unit has always done before. Taking a half-day break early doesn't affect anyone. This is not my fault..."
Zhao Jie sighed helplessly and said, "I didn't say it was your fault, but this bad habit should have been changed long ago. Tell your comrades that from today on, they must strictly follow the regulations on holidays and work hard when they are on duty. No one is allowed to slack off!"
"But..." Liu Li said half of the sentence with a look of grievance.
"But what?" Zhao Jie asked with a frown.
"But we don't have any duty allowance! Although the documents stipulate that workers on duty during holidays will receive triple salary allowance, no unit in our county has ever enjoyed it... How can you expect our comrades to be willing to be on duty?" Liu Li said.
If there is no subsidy, you won’t be on duty?
Is this still our party member and cadre?
Is there a spirit of "service"?
Zhao Jie frowned.
He glared at Liu Li and said, "There are so many units in the county, but people won't work without triple pay? Don't tell me so many reasons. You can tell them that anyone who doesn't follow the rules can get out! I won't try to keep them!"
Liu Li just felt incredible.
I thought, you can just say it at the meeting.
The comrades have not done anything wrong. Are you really planning to drive all of them away?
Okay, now that everyone has left, who the hell will do the work?
Aren’t the employees human beings? Can they buy a car, a house and eat their fill just by believing in something?
Do you know what the national minimum wage is?
Do you know that employees in Shannan County enjoy the lowest standards in the country?
What do you expect others to do with more than 2,000 yuan?
If everyone leaves, are you still a leader?
Liu Li sighed and said to Zhao Jie unceremoniously, "Director Zhao, then you should find a way to triple the wages of the employees... Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to arrange for them to work on duty."
After saying that, Liu Li turned around and left without looking back, showing no regard for Zhao Jie at all.
Zhao Jie held his forehead with one hand in distress. Only then did he truly feel the difficulty of being the head of a county-level unit.
No money. The employees dare not argue with you on the surface, but secretly no one is convinced by you, because you can't increase their income, you can't affect their lives, and you can't give them the future they want...
What authority does such a leader have?
To put it bluntly, if I want to respect you, I will respect you. If I don’t want to respect you, there is nothing you can do to me.
What's the point of managing a unit like this?
Even if a god came, he wouldn’t be able to manage it!
"No wonder my brother-in-law said that the approval hall is beyond the reach of ordinary people to manage... No wonder my dad said it's not easy to be the head of a county-level unit... So it's really like this..." Zhao Jie couldn't stop sighing and had a headache.
It's been half a month and even the management office can't manage it clearly, let alone manage the approval hall downstairs!
Zhao Jie knew very well that the staff at the window units downstairs were even more undisciplined. They would talk back at you if you said something. How could you manage them without some means?
He even felt a little regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would have been better off being a leisurely organization committee member in the village...
Thinking of this, he slapped himself!
"County Magistrate Li Lin trusts me so much, how can I let him down?" Zhao Jie thought.
...
Liu Zhong, the number one scalper in the approval hall, was standing at the door of the approval hall and giving a passionate speech to his subordinates.
He said, "I tell you, no matter which county leader comes, we "service staff" will definitely make contributions! Without our help, how can those who come to do business enjoy convenient services? Without us, the service level of our county will drop a lot! So don't be afraid, don't listen to the nonsense of those people in the management office, no one can replace us!"
After he finished his speech, the people in the audience should have been excited, but instead they just crossed their arms, looked at each other, and said nothing.
Liu Zhong pointed at the audience and questioned, "If anyone has a different opinion, please speak up! If anyone doesn't want to make money with me, you can get out now!"
After a while, someone stood up and cautiously refuted, "Captain Liu, it's not that I don't believe you... I just heard that the county leader in charge of the approval hall is not an ordinary person. He seems to be sent by some unit in the province. He is very tough... I am worried that what we did in the approval hall violated the law and he will be held accountable... My family depends on me to make money and eat, I can't follow you and take this risk."
Hearing this, Liu Zhong burst into laughter.
"You idiot, what law have we violated? We are doing practical things for the people! We just charge a little handling fee, which is what we deserve. It's reasonable. What do you have to worry about?"
There was a moment of silence in the audience.
At this time, a sudden voice was heard.
"Liu Zhong, what are you yelling about? Go home right now! If you try to cheat at the entrance of the approval hall again, I'll send you to jail right now!"
Everyone looked up in the direction of the voice, and saw Zhao Jie coming down from upstairs at some point. He was standing at the door of the approval hall, looking at everyone with a serious face.
