In early spring, I have been working with my new company for more than three months. Just as I was sitting alone in the empty office area and lamenting that I was still the only employee in the department, the company's HR manager, Manager M, walked up to me with a spring on his face.
Mr. X, good news for you!”
Manager M, what's the good news?”
I've got you an assistant!”
I never seem to have mentioned to HR that I needed an assistant, and even if I had to recruit an assistant, it wasn't a priority. What I need now is sales, pre-sales, technical and other positions. No matter how good this assistant is, the two of us can't do business alone. Just as I was confused, Manager M continued:
She was met by carpool when I was at work, female, I fought with her several times, I know her very well, she is very good, eloquence and writing, she is currently looking for a job, I think she can be your assistant, so I called her for an interview. ”
Even when I was taking an online car-hailing service, I was recruiting talents for the company, and I was moved!Online car-hailing and carpooling can fight the same person many times, fate!
I came to the personnel department with curiosity and a little touch, and met this "destined person". After some interviews, it was found that she had little work experience, and had only done a little copywriting before, and she knew nothing about the Internet and intelligent manufacturing that the company was engaged in. So I fed back the interview results to Manager M truthfully. But Manager M said to me: "She can copywrite, a blank sheet of paper is easy to cultivate, she works with you every day, and soon learns the company's business." ”
Under the strong recommendation of Manager M, considering that my department will have to rely on Manager M for future recruitment, I half-pushed and inexplicably recruited a post-90s female assistant. After the female assistant joined the company, Manager M often came to my department to chat with my female assistant, asked her about her work, told her to learn hard, and bothered me to teach hard. It seems that the friendship established by these two women when they carpool is quite deep, and it is really rare for HR to care for talents like Manager M!
After a few days of getting along at work, I found out that the female assistant's copywriting skills were indeed limited and playful. The advantage is that I am more outgoing and have become acquainted with most people in the company in less than a week. It is said that a male colleague in the sales department was still her classmate in kindergarten, so she often went in and out of the sales department every day, but she did not spend much time in her own department. This is better than me, compared to her, I seem to be introverted, and I hardly go out.
After more than a month of subtle training, my female assistant was finally able to do something. At that time, the company was preparing to participate in the soft expo and needed to make a sand table. After I came up with the sand table design drawing, I asked her to contact the manufacturer to make it. Due to the tight time for the meeting and the complicated affairs, I did not participate too much in the sand table, but just asked her to find a few more inquiries and price comparisons. In the end, she found two, one reported more than 70,000 yuan, and the other reported more than 100,000 yuan. I felt it was a bit expensive, so I asked her to bargain. She told me that because of the tight time, this is already the lowest price, and some manufacturers don't accept it at all when they hear that the time is so tight. In order not to affect the attendance, I had to choose **70,000 in the end.
It didn't take long for rumors to reach my ears. Some people in the company began to talk about the "sand table incident", saying that I let the company spend ** to buy a sand table, and even said that I was filling my own pockets!When I heard these rumors, I became alarmed and began to investigate the matter privately. I investigated a few people in the company who were close to my female assistant, investigated the sand table processing manufacturer, and investigated the sand table market**. I was blown away by the results of the survey.
It turned out that the manufacturer my female assistant was looking for was opened by a relative of her kindergarten classmate in the sales department!What makes me even more angry is that the market price of making a similar sand table is less than 20,000 at most!She and her kindergarten classmates made a net profit of 50,000 yuan on this sand table!
So, I immediately talked to her. She confessed very frankly, saying that she didn't know the manufacturer that made the sand table, and she didn't know many people in the company, so she thought of her kindergarten classmates and asked him to help find it together. She and her kindergarten classmates have not seen each other for many years, and they are not familiar with each other at all, let alone know that his relatives still make sand tables, and they don't know what the market price is.
Since this matter is about my innocence, I will not leave it at that, and I must find out.
I took the initiative to find Manager M of the personnel department, told her the details of the incident and the results of the investigation, and hoped that the personnel department would interview my female assistant and the "kindergarten classmate" in the sales department in the name of the company, and give punishment or persuasion to quit, at the same time, I also admitted my work negligence and was willing to use my salary for several months to compensate for the company's losses. Manager M said he would check the matter and then come back to me.
I have to say that Manager M's work efficiency is really high, and he came to me the next day to tell me the verification results: my female assistant did not know about the sand table manufacturer, and she was also a victim. For the sake of her new employment and no relevant work experience, the company decided not to punish her, but only to punish and dissuade the kindergarten classmate. As for me, I am also a victim, and I took the initiative to find out the inside story afterwards, and there is no need to punish me.
Hearing Manager M say this, I felt very guilty, but it was also warm. The company and Manager M really rewarded and punished the culprit, but also saved my face and my female assistant. Since then, every time I see my female assistant, I feel a sense of guilt, because I used to suspect her of enriching herself with others, and doubting her innocence and kindness!
However, this guilt lasted for less than a month. One day, Manager M suddenly invited me to an unoccupied office, closed the door, walked up to me, blushed, smiling, and stopped talking, looking at me a little embarrassed, and I was a little panic......ked
Mr. X, I have a personal matter I want to talk to you about ......”
I took a half-step back, distanced myself from her, and motioned for her to continue.
How's that assistant of yours doing?”
I let out a long breath ......It turned out to be such a serious business, is it necessary to add these foreplays?!
It's good, a few things that have been arranged for her to do recently are okay, and after a period of training, she should be able to do some work independently. ”
You don't have to be embarrassed, if you think she can't do it, you can directly persuade her to quit. ”
Huh?Is there such a big contrast?Is this the same manager M who warmly recommended to me a few months ago (or to be exact, for me) a female assistant candidate?
Uh......I think she's okay, not so much to dissuade her, she used to be playful, but now she's a little more careful. ”
Mr. X, you have to understand that the company is not a school, and it is impossible to spend so long cultivating a person who is not qualified for his job. ”
I looked at her again with a surprised expression. What's going on today?Did I have amnesia or did she have amnesia?She seems to be a different person, and the deep "carpooling friendship" between the two of them seems to have never existed.
Manager M, I think her hard work and achievements are still there, and it is not that she is not qualified for her job. ”
Okay, that's just my suggestion, you think again. ”
Looking at the back of Manager M as she left in a hurry, I paced behind, thinking back to what she had just said to me. When I got back to the department, I called the female assistant and asked her:
Have you offended Manager M of the HR department lately?And carpooling made her suffer?”
I didn't offend her ......What carpooling?Who to carpool with?”
You and Manager M are carpooling?Didn't you two meet each other by carpooling at work?”
Who told you that she and I met in a carpool?I'm taking a taxi to work now, but she drives herself to work. And I've never offended her, did she say bad things about me when she came to you?”
I didn't answer her right away. Because I suddenly figured out something, because I found out that I had been scammed!
So how did you meet Manager M?”
Uh......That's how I applied for the job. ”
I wanted to keep asking, but I didn't feel like there would be an answer, so I stopped talking to her. Judging from the statements that they are completely incompatible with each other, they are both constantly making up lies. Lies and lies are intertwined and trap me in them. I went through what had just happened, and retraced how they had spoken and behaved in ...... last few months
Let's start with the female assistant. First, she said that she "now takes a taxi to work", indicating that she did not take a taxi to work before, and carpooling is even more impossible. Second, before I approached her, she should have known, or at least guessed, that Manager M would be saying "bad things" about her to me. This shows that there has been a rift in their relationship before this, but I didn't notice it. And she didn't admit to "offending" Manager M, which means that it is inconvenient for me to know the mustard between the two of them.
Let's talk about Manager M. First, she made up the lie of "carpool friendship", which was supposed to cover up the real way and reason for the female assistant's entry. Second, during the interview, she made a decision for me with the kind things she said for the female assistant, and couldn't wait to let her join, which shows that at least at that time, her relationship with the female assistant was extraordinary.
When I think about it, I feel like a clown being toyed with by the two of them. If I follow Manager M's "advice" and "dissuade" this female assistant for no reason, then the truth of this matter will be covered up by them forever, and I will become an eternal clown. I need to do something about it. What is certain is that Manager M will definitely come back to me.
Sure enough, the next day, Manager M asked me to the empty office again.
Mr. X, what did you think about what I told you about your assistant yesterday?”
I thought about it, she is really nice, and she has improved a lot lately, and has been able to share some of my work, and I really have no reason to dissuade people for no reason. ”
You don't need to be persuaded to quit this, and the personnel will be done. And I can find you another assistant, definitely better than her. ”
First of all, no matter who tries to dissuade her, I feel unbearable. People are not at fault, why should we let her go?Secondly, it took me a few months to train her, and then I had to start from scratch with another oneWhy should the company spend this unjust money?”
When she was in charge of purchasing the sand table before, she made the company spend money unjustly, isn't this her obvious fault?”
But at that time, the company's opinion was that she had just arrived and had no experience, so she wouldn't be punished first, right?It's not good to bring it up now. ”
She looked at me in silence, thoughtful, and stopped, but finally spoke.
Mr. X, let's talk to you like this, you just know about it, this assistant of yours, she used to be my brother's girlfriend, but her character is very poor, my brother has broken up with her, what else do we want her to do?!”
!Fortunately, I used "I want to get away with it" to force her to tell the truth. The truth has been revealed: a few months ago, Manager M wanted to use his position to arrange his brother's girlfriend to work in the company, so he made up the story of "carpool friendship" and turned her brother's girlfriend into my female assistant. At this point, I am actually a little grateful to her, because there are more than a dozen departments and hundreds of people in the company, and she chose my department to settle down for her "prospective brother and daughter-in-law", at least because of my character. Later, for some reason, her "prospective brother-in-law" became a "stranger", so she felt that she was an eyesore in the company, and was worried that she would reveal some ulterior secrets, so she tried every means to send this "stranger" away.
A week later, I received an invitation from a female assistant to take me to an unoccupied office. Not to mention, the two of them are really similar in this regard, and they really respond to the old saying: not a family, not a family. I like to ask men to go to a room where no one is around.
Mr. X, I'm quitting. ”
What's going on?I asked, pretending to be ignorant.
Manager M aimed at me and looked at me unpleasantly. ”
I don't think you two are very good, right?”
There are a lot of things you don't know ......”
You're right, I didn't know about it in the past, but now I know it basically.
What's the matter?I asked again, feigning dumbness.
It's useless to tell you, Manager M just doesn't like me, I'm not going to do it here, I'm going to leave today. Thank you very much, Mr. X, only you have been there for me since I came to ...... companyAt this, she began to cry.
Crying now, and there are still people watching you cry, you are much luckier than me. How could you have thought that a week ago, when I found out what you two had done, my heart was not only in tears, but in the form of blood!How you came here, I can't know;How you got there, I can't know yet. You two are playing with me nakedly!In your eyes, there is only self-interest, no professional ethics and work standards, and you will never take into account the feelings of others, the dignity of others, and the development of the enterprise. The company that pays you every month, and the colleagues who actively cooperate with your work, are just your playthings, just tools for you to pursue self-interest and selfish desires.
Half a year after my female assistant left her job, someone whispered to me, "Do you remember that female assistant of yours?"Did you know?She and her kindergarten classmate have been involved in the object for more than half a year, and I just found out about ......”
Hearing him say this, I seem to have figured out one more thing: it seems that I really didn't wronged her back then, they were not "unfamiliar", on the contrary, they were very familiar, maybe they were already together at that time. She must have found a manufacturer with her kindergarten classmates and earned more than 50,000 yuan together, which may have even been kept in the dark by Manager M (because it is impossible for her to tell Manager M's younger brother that she is also having a relationship with her kindergarten classmates). Thinking of this, I immediately found out the ** orders of the two manufacturers at that time, and searched for **100,000 companies on the Internet - as I guessed, there was no such company at all. They played a lot of plays!In order to let me purchase the 70,000 yuan, I also specially compiled a ** list of 100,000 yuan for me to compare. They really took care of me!Thinking of this, I smiled and remembered a question: If I had chosen the 100,000 yuan back then, what would they do?
No matter how busy you are with your work, you can't completely let go of one thing and entrust it all to someone to do, at least you have to personally control some key nodes. As long as the leader of the result is not a good leader. Only by attaching importance to both the result and the process can we not only get things done but also cultivate talents.
Don't just listen to reports, words and documents are the two things you can't trust in the workplace. Don't stay away from the front line, you can hear the cannonballs.
Don't recruit your own relatives and friends into the company, it's easy to ask God to send God. Smart people are people who try to keep their friends and family away from their jobs as much as possibleOnly a fool would think that "recruiting friends and relatives into the company" is his ability.
Meritocracy, not cronyism. There may be many virtuous people among your relatives and friends, but these people can be relatives and friends, but they are not necessarily suitable to be colleagues, let alone the work you have assigned them. Placing relatives and friends in an unsuitable position will do you more harm than good to her, to her, and to the company.
