Workplace story, choice of conscience

Zhang Wen went to work in the city from the countryside, and worked as a salesman in an electronics factory. After two or three years of hard work, his performance was not bad. The boss, Mr. Liu, also values him very much and intends to promote him.

this morning, Mr. Liu called him into the office and said, "You've been in the company for almost three years, and you've done well. I'm going to promote you to be the manager of the business department and ask for your advice." Hearing this, Zhang Wenyi was so grateful that he thought that Liu really respected him too much, and he had to ask for his advice in advance to promote him.

The business department is the most important department in the company. In the past, Mr. Liu's younger brother was in charge of it. Later, when he went abroad to study, the position of manager remained vacant.

Mr. Zhang said, "Mr. Liu, we country people don't play tricks, we just talk about conscience. You value me and I will do it well. " The boss smiled and said, "Zhang Wen, sometimes you can't just talk about your conscience, and this brother should also settle accounts clearly!" Before I promote you, you have to do one thing for me, and I can officially promote you. "

It turns out that two new production lines have been added in the factory recently, and a large number of operators need to be recruited. Seeing that Mr. Zhang is honest, Mr. Liu wants to invite him to the countryside to recruit people. Manager Liu said, "I'll give you a hundred yuan referral fee for every worker I recruit!" " Zhang Wenyi was happy when he heard this, thinking that his brothers and sisters in his hometown and countryside couldn't find a job yet. Isn't this the easy thing to do? Zhang Wen said, "Mr. Liu, I don't want money. I'll go back to my hometown and help you recruit people!" "

Mr. Liu said, "Zhang Wen, if you do this, I will be unhappy. When you come back, you must go to the finance department to get the money, and ask the intermediary to recruit 2 yuan a person. You have saved me money!"

in less than half a month, Zhang Wen recruited 6 people in his hometown, chartered two buses and returned to the factory.

Mr. Liu was very happy after interviewing the newcomers. He praised Mr. Zhang and repeatedly reminded him to go to the finance department to get the referral fee.

Zhang Wen thought, manager Liu told me to recruit people because he respected me. How can I ask for this 6, yuan referral fee? I only went to the finance department to reimburse the charter fare.

a month later, Mr. Liu announced the appointment of a new business manager at the company meeting. Actually, it was not Zhang Wen, but his colleague Xiao Sun.

Zhang Wen suddenly froze, thinking, didn't General Manager Liu say that he would be promoted? Why did he suddenly change his mind? Did he do something wrong? Mr. Zhang suddenly remembered that he still had several big customers whose payment for goods had not been paid back in time. Mr. Liu had reminded him many times, but he never got it back. Zhang Wen thought, be a man with a conscience. He didn't do his own work well. How can he blame Liu for not promoting him? We must be more conscientious in the future.

In this way, Zhang Wen didn't take this matter to heart, but he was still preoccupied with his work.

One afternoon, Zhang Wen and Xiao Sun had a conflict over a business, and they had a bitter quarrel. After calming down, Xiao Sun asked Zhang Wen to go to the restaurant to drink and apologize. After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Sun said drunkenly, "Brother Wen, are you holding a grudge against me for promoting the manager? Think I tripped you up? "

Zhang Wen said, "There is no such thing. It's all my bad temper today. Brother, don't hold grudges!" Xiao Sun spat at the alcohol and said, "I know you're blaming me. In fact, it's your own fault. Do you know why President Liu didn't promote you?"

Zhang Wen asked, "Why? Blame me for not doing my job well? " Xiao Sun said, "No, Mr. Liu told you to go back to your hometown to recruit people. Why didn't you go to the finance department to get the referral fee later?" Mr. Zhang suddenly realized that he still remembered that Mr. Liu had told him that his brothers should settle accounts clearly. Mr. Liu must blame him for not separating human feelings from work, and he is indecisive and not suitable for being independent.

Xiao Sun laughed when he heard this: "You are so naive to think of Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu thought that you didn't get the money, and speculated that you took kickbacks when you were doing business, so you didn't care about the 6, yuan! Seriously, brother, have you ever taken a kickback? "

Xiao Sun's words were like a bolt from the blue, which completely woke Zhang Wenzhen up. No wonder manager Liu has always been lukewarm to him recently, and he often finds fault with him. Mr. Zhang said that he would go to Liu and make it clear that he should be conscientious, but he has never done anything wrong to Liu. Xiao Sun quickly stopped and said, "Aren't you hurting me? If manager Liu knows that I told you, he can't skin me alive! This kind of thing can't be explained clearly, so just pretend that nothing happened. " After listening to Zhang Wen, he had to do so.

Time flies, and the end of the year is coming, but the factory hasn't paid the workers for several months. The fellow villagers recruited by Zhang Wen were all ready to go home to do the new year's goods, but they had no money, so they all found Zhang Wen and asked him to ask the boss when he could get paid. Mr. Zhang doesn't know what Mr. Liu is up to. The company's business has been very good recently, so why is it still dragging on without paying? Upon inquiry, it turned out that Mr. Liu took the money to buy a villa, which is now being renovated and plans to move in when it is completed years ago.

Zhang Wen was furious when he heard the news. It is understandable for the boss to buy a villa, but he can't help but pay the workers! Mr. Zhang found Mr. Liu and asked him to pay some wages to the workers, but Mr. Liu said sarcastically, "Mr. Zhang, why did you ask for money this time?" I thought you didn't care about money! "

Zhang Wen heard something in General Manager Liu's words, and quickly explained, "General Manager Liu, I have never taken a penny kickback from a customer in all my years in the company. We country people are talking about conscience, so you must believe me!" After listening to this, Mr. Liu laughed: "When did I say that you took kickbacks? You don't want to recruit yourself, okay? "

Zhang Wen realized that he had slipped his tongue. He wanted to say that Xiao Sun told him, but in this situation, he didn't want to implicate Xiao Sun. Zhang Wen changed the subject and said, "Mr. Liu, be merciful. The villagers are all waiting for money to go home for the New Year!"

Mr. Liu said with a sneer, "I didn't say I wouldn't send it. The company has no money for the time being. Can't it be delayed?" Zhang Wenyi was anxious when he heard this, and blurted out: "You still have to buy a villa without money?" After listening to this, President Liu got angry: "It's not your turn to teach me a lesson. Let's make your problems clear first!" "

Zhang Wen left General Manager Liu's office aggrieved and almost cried. When the villagers saw Zhang Wen coming out, they all asked about the situation. In desperation, Zhang Wen had to prepare to organize these poor brothers to complain to the Labor Bureau. When Liu learned that Zhang Wen was going to sue him, he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he quickly paid all the wages owed to the workers, and then he said that Zhang Wen had framed him.

Zhang Wen knew that this contradiction could no longer be resolved, so he had to resign voluntarily. On the day he submitted his resignation to President Liu, Zhang Wen said, "President Liu, you really misunderstood me. I haven't received a penny rebate for so many years. I'm going to sue you this time, but I'm also forced to ... "Liu didn't finish listening to Mr. Zhang's explanation, so he wrote a stroke of a pen on his resignation report and told him to settle his salary, and let bygones be bygones.

Mr. Zhang left the office sadly, and Mr. Liu shouted at the back: "Let's settle accounts with our brothers, and you should also receive the referral fee of 6, yuan!" It doesn't matter if you don't mention the referral fee. When you mention Mr. Zhang's tears, you can't help it anymore, and you can't stop flowing downwards.

When he returned to the dormitory to pack his bags and prepare to leave the factory, he saw that more than 1 fellow villagers and workmates were standing in front of the factory gate. Everyone said, "if you go, we will go, and we will not work with this heartless boss!" "

Zhang Wen said, "Thank you for your kindness. It's not easy to find a job for this New Year holiday, so don't worry about it. Let's do well here!" At this time, a fellow villager took Zhang Wen and said, "There is a newly opened electronics factory nearby, which is recruiting people. Let me go with you and have a look!"

after hearing this, Zhang Wen came to the newly-opened electronics factory with his fellow villagers. When the factory owner heard that Zhang Wen was coming, he happily promised to make him the workshop director, but asked him to bring all the fellow villagers over. After listening to Zhang Wen, he hesitated a little. If all his fellow villagers left, all the production lines would be shut down, and Mr. Liu would not be anxious to die!

The factory owner said, "I've heard all about you. He is unkind to you. What conscience do you have to tell him?" The fellow villager also said, "That is, we didn't want to work there long ago. If it weren't for your face, we would have jumped ship!" "

Mr. Liu is well informed, and he is a little flustered after learning this news. In order not to pay insurance for workers before, he never signed a labor contract with workers, and in order to keep workers, he has been in arrears with wages. Now, the salary has been paid, and the workers have no scruples. Don't they just want to leave? But with this move, production will be stagnant, and it will be troublesome to finish the order. This is a big New Year, where to recruit!

Mr. Liu hurried to find Mr. Zhang to apologize and begged him not to take anyone away. Zhang Wen said: "You can leave without them. You must sign a labor contract with them, pay insurance, pay wages on time, and improve food standards. I can promise you only after these procedures are completed!" On hearing this, Mr. Liu was so happy that he quickly ordered people to go through all these procedures. And Zhang Wen also kept his promise and persuaded the villagers to stay.

After this incident, Mr. Liu felt that he was really wrong about Zhang Wen, so he begged him to stay. But Mr. Zhang was unhappy. He said that after so many things, he was not in the mood to work here. General manager Liu said, "If you don't pull people over, will that company still want you?"

Zhang Wen smiled and said, "As long as you have a conscience, you can make money everywhere!"

Mr. Liu looked at the figure of Mr. Zhang's resolute departure, and his heart faintly felt a trace of regret. Before that, he had never regretted anything. Unfortunately, it's too late to regret!
