After Sun Lan, the director of the dispatch room, gave a separate report, Xu Damao took Peng Shitou with him the next day and they stayed at the dispatch room for two days.
Over the past two days, although Xu Damao and Peng Shitou had some disagreements, they reached a consensus on the idea of increasing the number of staff in the dispatch room.
This dispatch room completely treats women like men and men like animals. They work long hours during the day and have to stay on duty at night. It's like fighting a war every day, with no time to rest at all.
"I thought the dispatch room was just a little busy, something I could manage, but I didn't expect it to be this busy," Peng Shitou said, sounding unusually guilty.
During the time he was in charge of the work, Sun Lan also requested more staff countless times, but after his report was rejected by the leader once, he became too lazy to go to the leader again, and always told Sun Lan that the leader was studying it.
"Because of our leadership, the dispatch room is understaffed, causing everyone to suffer and shed tears. Today, I want to apologize to all the comrades in the dispatch room." Xu Damao bowed to all the staff in the dispatch room.
Xu Damao's apology was a direct slap in the face to Peng Shitou, but there was nothing he could do. He had indeed failed to resolve any issues for the dispatch center within a year.
“Now, on behalf of the Transportation Department, I promise the Dispatch Office that we will resolve your manpower shortage problem as soon as possible. We will submit a report to our superiors immediately,” Xu Damao said.
However, the people in the dispatch room, who had just held onto hope for Xu Damao, lost interest after hearing it was just another report; it was all the same old story in a different guise. Even Sun Lan, who was very grateful to Xu Damao, secretly turned her face away, not wanting anyone to know her disappointment.
"Ahem, also," Xu Damao coughed, knowing that the people in the dispatch room were not satisfied with what he had just said, and continued.
"In addition, I am now announcing that two people will be temporarily transferred from the General Office and two people from the Auto Repair Group to the Dispatch Room to assist you in your work and will be under your command. Furthermore, Section Chief Peng and I will also send one person to help you and be under your command. Please do not consider our status. While we are in the Dispatch Room, we will be just ordinary staff members."
"By the way, Section Chief Peng, I've been quite busy lately. The higher-ups have been looking for me with a lot of things. You'll need to stay in the dispatch room for a while. I'll come and relieve you when I'm free."
Xu Damao announced his big move.
As Xu Damao announced this, enthusiastic applause erupted in the dispatch room, lasting for a long time. The dispatch room didn't care which side you were from; they were happy to hear it from anyone. Although new recruits needed training and things might be a bit slow at first, at least it freed up some shift workers.
The people in the dispatch room were happy, but Peng Shitou felt a pain in his teeth. "You damn Xu Damao, why do you always have to screw yourself over like this? You're busy now, but when are you not busy? And you talk about being a regular staff member? Isn't this just trapping yourself in the dispatch room?"
If there were a system here, one could see the ever-increasing resentment value on Peng Shitou's head.
Regardless of Peng Shitou's mood, Xu Damao still spoke with the heads of the General Office and the Auto Repair Group. The two did not refuse Xu Damao's request to borrow the person, but they also said that they hoped to return the person as soon as possible, as they were also very busy with their own work.
In addition, Xu Damao also asked Qian Dabao to send his youngest son over.
“Let him work as a temporary worker in the dispatch room first. We’ll apply to the leadership right away for more staff. If it’s approved, your son will become a permanent employee.”
In this way, Xu Damao persuaded another person to join the dispatch room, which temporarily alleviated the labor shortage in the dispatch room.
Everyone knew this was just an emergency measure, and the others were watching to see if Xu Damao could get the man. If he could, Xu Damao would basically secure his position as section chief and gain the respect of the people; otherwise, they would only outwardly comply but inwardly resent him.
-------------------------------------
"Up there, we have far too few people in our dispatch room, which has led to several dispatchers collapsing from overwork. Therefore, our transportation department is requesting that our superiors provide us with more staff, at least five more, to ensure basic operations."
Xu Damao had someone create a plan in the shortest possible time, and then took the plan into Gao Jin's office.
"Da Mao, I've looked at the plan, and I fully support it. Let's go report to the director together and see his attitude." Gao Jin glanced at it casually and gave Xu Da Mao his full support.
When Li Wenming, the head of the logistics department, heard Xu Damao's report, and then thought about how Peng Shitou had never mentioned these people to him before, he couldn't contain his anger.
"That old Peng must have lost his mind. He didn't even report such a big thing to me. If he were leading troops on the battlefield, it would cause a mutiny. I would have shot him on the battlefield." Li Wenming directly applied his battlefield tactics.
"Da Mao, you've grasped the crux of the problem right away, which shows you get into work mode quickly. I completely agree to this. Director Gao will represent our logistics department to coordinate the rest, and you'll be in charge of the specifics."
"If there are any difficulties, report back to me later." Li Wenming made a quick decision.
With Li Wenming's support, the transportation department's affairs could be considered the logistics department's affairs, making communication with the political department easier.
Xu Damao had a good relationship with Li Hui, the head of the personnel department, so he took the report to her himself. Li Hui was very accommodating, saying that there were no problems on her end and that she would submit it to the higher authorities according to procedure, and that she estimated the political department would also agree.
However, the addition of five people at once required approval from the factory leadership meeting. Li Hui suggested that the logistics department communicate with the relevant leaders in advance to prevent any unexpected situations.
"Thank you, Sister Li. We'll ask Director Li to report this to our superiors. As long as you agree, Sister Li, I think everything should be fine." Xu Damao flattered Li Hui.
"You little rascal, you've still got a sweet tongue after all these years," Li Hui said, though she was secretly pleased.
"By the way, I heard there's a deputy section chief position available in your area. Are you planning to recommend someone?" Li Hui suddenly asked.
"Hehe, we only have one deputy section chief right now, we're short one. I'm not lying to Sister Li, I haven't made a final decision yet about whether we should recommend another deputy section chief."
The reason I said that was to motivate everyone; otherwise, the transportation department would remain stagnant.
Li Hui has always taken good care of Xu Damao, and Xu Damao should clarify this matter beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings.
“I suspect there’s something fishy about you, otherwise why would you make such a big fuss about recommending someone? I won’t hide it from you, Ma Xiaoyun from your office is on good terms with me, you might want to consider her if you’re ever interested,” Li Hui said.
“Okay, I’ll remember what you said. I can’t speak for others, but all things being equal, I would definitely recommend her first,” Xu Damao answered decisively.
What can you do if you don't act decisively? Her husband is the workshop director, and her friend is the head of the personnel department. Whether she recommends him or not, the result will be the same.
