Chapter 1159 There are always people who want to harm me
"What's going on with that employee?"
Late at night, the steady-looking Knight XV parked his car in the underground parking lot of the Mingliu Group's headquarters. As soon as Zhou Anan got out of the car, she saw the beautiful special assistant, CEO Qi Liang and others waiting there. She asked as she walked towards the elevator.
Originally, Qi Liang and others had already been in Yazhou today, driving the private yacht he received as a reward, preparing to take their families on a wonderful vacation, but because of a video that went viral on the Internet, they flew back overnight.
"Chi Jiangfeng, male, 35 years old, joined the company in August 2007 as deputy director of the third technical department, currently at level M6. During the routine physical examination in mid-December this year, he was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer. As he was unable to cope with the current workload, the HR department transferred him to the logistics department. His level remained unchanged for one year, and he was paid 1.5 times his basic salary as usual."
Following the big boss, Huang Ying quickly introduced the information of the protagonist of the video, straightforwardly and concisely.
"Um."
After hearing what the beautiful special assistant said, Zhou Anan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and waited for what to say next.
Normally speaking, the HR department did a pretty good job and adhered to his consistent requirement of treating employees well.
Even though the employee was seriously ill, the company did not fire him and instead provided him with 1.5 times the basic salary. Which company offers such good treatment?
However, how could the way the group's human resources department handled the matter lead to the terrible news event of "an employee of the Mingliu Group was dismissed without reason due to illness and someone tried to set himself on fire at the gate of the group"?
It is so difficult to do business these days, there are always evil people who want to harm me.
"However, Chi Jiangfeng was originally in charge of the design of a web game. After the game is successfully launched, he will receive a considerable bonus if he reaches a certain profit. Chi Jiangfeng has a relatively good family environment. He has two children who are still in elementary school, his wife is a full-time housewife, and he has three elderly people from both sides of his family to support. The expenses of the family are all on Chi Jiangfeng alone. In addition to his current high medical expenses, he may not be able to support himself for too long with only 1.5 times the basic salary. Chi Jiangfeng wanted to continue to stay in his original department, but the human resources department did not agree considering his physical condition."
"This morning, Chi Jiangfeng suddenly poured wine on himself at the gate of the group headquarters and held a lighter to demand that our human resources department change the appointment. The incident happened during rush hour, and many people stopped to watch and took videos with their mobile phones. The video was quickly uploaded to major video websites. So far, the number of viewers has exceeded 10 million. Some videos with high clicks are very clear, and the person behind the scenes has not yet been identified. According to the decision of the public relations department and the president's office, our Mingliu Weibo account has not taken any flow control measures. The number of reposts has exceeded 300,000, and the number of comments has exceeded one million, ranking third on the hot search list of the day."
"Planned by the public relations department and authorized by General Manager Qi, we will hold an impromptu press conference in the large conference room on the second floor of the headquarters at 8 o'clock tonight to clarify the whole truth of the matter. The entire process will be broadcast live on the WeChat official account and tomorrow's video."
After listening to the quick narration of the beautiful female assistant, Zhou Anan walked out of the elevator that had already reached the top floor and asked, "How is Chi Jiangfeng now?"
"Chi Jiangfeng is currently under police control and is receiving treatment and mental status assessment in hospital."
Faced with the big boss's question, Huang Ying answered without hesitation.
"Do you think this response can calm down public opinion online?"
Sitting in the main seat in the small conference room, Zhou Anan looked at several executives present.
"I don't think this matter is that simple. The person behind the scenes will definitely direct public opinion to Chi Jiangfeng's family difficulties and the inhumanity of our human resources department, and then attack our group's indifference."
As a mature CEO, Qi Liang could naturally guess the weaknesses that the mastermind might find.
Although Mingliu Group has always handled sick employees in a humane manner, the onlookers on the Internet have never been rational.
It is a common problem among Chinese netizens to watch the fun without caring about the consequences and to sympathize with the weak without caring about the consequences. This is also caused by the late development of the Chinese Internet and the excessively rapid development speed.
"The focus of this matter is the future of Chi Jiangfeng's family. Everyone knows that once Chi Jiangfeng leaves our group, his family will face tragedy. I think, from a humane perspective, the group can bear the cost of Chi Jiangfeng's follow-up treatment and provide a certain amount of financial assistance to their family. In this way, public opinion on the Internet will soon subside, and people will appreciate our group's responsibility, which will increase the sense of belonging of all employees of the group."
As the technical director, Pan Shaofu, who even faced the difficulties of technical personnel, proposed a more reasonable plan.
At present, simply explaining the progress of the matter is definitely not enough. The key point is to resolve the worries of Chi Jiangfeng's family.
This amount of money may be an unattainable sum for ordinary people, but it is not much for Mingliu Group, which has a valuation of 20 billion and more than 2 billion in liquid funds.
"I don't agree. If our group opens this loophole, if other employees encounter similar problems in the future, do we have to bear all the medical expenses and family compensation?"
As soon as Director Pan finished speaking, CFO An Jie objected: "Our group's welfare benefits are much higher than those of similar industries. We try not to fire seriously ill employees. We have done a good job. However, our group is not a charity after all. We cannot open the door to convenience in this regard. If we don't, there will be endless troubles."
"Besides, Chi Jiangfeng has only been employed for less than two years. During his tenure, his working hours were normal and he worked overtime no more than five times a year. These are all well documented. His illness cannot be unilaterally attributed to our group's work system."
“Once we agree to bear all subsequent expenses of Chi Jiangfeng’s family, there will still be conspiracy theorists who think that it is because of our group’s system that Chi Jiangfeng got sick, and they think we are being too generous. By then, we will still be in a passive position, and the loss will outweigh the gain.”
Unexpectedly, Mr. An reacted so excitedly. Mr. Pan opened his mouth but didn't know how to refute.
Now someone is fanning the flames behind the scenes. If their group makes such concessions, it is very likely that people will criticize the group for being in the wrong.
According to the thinking of ordinary people, their Mingliu Group has already handled the case so humanely, so why should they still bear the cost of Chi Jiangfeng's medical treatment and subsequent family support? It is obvious that it is the institutional problems of the group that caused the person to become seriously ill.
"Manager Zhang, what do you think?"
Seeing that Pan Shaofu was speechless, Zhou Anan asked Zhang Yiqi, the head of the administrative department who had not spoken.
The other party is an old man who has been following Mingliu Group since it was not yet established. Although he is less than 30 years old, he is in charge of the logistics support of the entire group. He can be said to be a young and promising person.
Moreover, the other party holds a power that ordinary people don't know about, and will look at things from a different perspective.
Hearing the big boss asking about her, Zhang Yiqi said, "I think what Mr. Qi and the others said makes sense. Relatively speaking, I am also inclined to provide assistance to Chi Jiangfeng's family to the best of my ability, but can we think of a way to have the best of both worlds? One that allows the group to maintain the existing rules and regulations, and one that allows Chi Jiangfeng's family to have follow-up protection, taking into account both human feelings, reason and law. After all, we have to consider the reactions of netizens, and also take into account the feelings of all employees of the group."
"Manager Zhang's idea is good. Let's follow her method. In the next press conference, in addition to arranging for President Qi to come on stage to explain the whole story, there will be a session for the president to speak, and I will go on stage myself."
