Chapter 68 7. Lazy people are raised with high salaries

Sweeping Shuang'er's rule of doing nothing, Fang Yi first formulated strict management regulations, divided the foot-washing girls into several groups, and registered for going to and from get off work. The number of customers served by each employee, personal leave and sick leave are treated differently. Once these measures are promulgated, they will immediately enter the implementation stage. However, after a week of trial implementation of the system, the business of Lichun Hospital not only did not improve, but plummeted. The feet-washing girls came to work on time, but no one was motivated to greet customers. Although Fang Yi repeatedly urged them, they still did not see Effect.Once, she happened to pass by the door by accident, and happened to see some customers coming in and was about to come in to wash their feet, but was stopped by the foot-washing girl in front of the door: "Don't go in, our store is closed today." The customer was very angry and asked: "Why?" The foot-washing girl replied: "No reason, it's just closed, you can go to another place to wash."

This situation made Fang Yi furious and puzzled, how could these foot-washing girls be like this?The door-to-door business was launched. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she might not have believed it even if someone told her about it.So, what caused this to happen?She couldn't figure it out, so she went to ask Wei Chunfang. After hearing this, Wei Chunfang laughed loudly: "Ayi, why are you so stupid. Let me ask you, how much money do you pay each foot-washing girl?" Fang Yi replied: "This salary level was established when Shuang'er was here, and it was twenty taels of silver per person per month."

"Then," Wei Chunfang asked again, "How much bonus does the foot-washing girl get for washing each customer's feet?" Fang Yi replied: "Every time I wash a customer's feet, I will get a bonus of 1 denarii." "So," Wei Chunfang continued to ask, "How many pairs of feet can a foot-washing girl wash in a day?" Fang Yi replied: "Based on two hours for one wash, if you work eight hours a day, you can wash four customers." "Okay," Wei Chunfang said, "Then let a foot-washing girl wash four pairs of feet a day and one hundred and twenty pairs of feet a month. Then, how much bonus can she get in a month?"

Fang Yi is a beautiful girl. Boys always pay the bills when going out. This conversion is a little unclear. After a long time of calculation, she replied: "Is it a tael a month? Probably." "Yes, yes." Wei Chunfang laughed loudly, "They worked hard for a month and only got one tael more, but they stayed comfortably for a month, but they only got one tael less. Twenty taels of silver is enough for them to eat and drink, and they are already well-fed. Who would work hard for just one tael of silver? It’s worth spending one tael of silver to buy a month’s comfortable life.”

Fang Yi suddenly realized: "Yes, it's my fault that the basic wages I set for them are too high. This is not possible. They must be given daily work tasks. If they cannot complete the tasks, their wages will be deducted." "Deducting wages is worse than deducting bonuses." Wei Chunfang pointed out, "The best way is to lower their basic wages and increase their bonuses, so that they will be motivated and work hard." Fang Yixi said: "Mother Wei, I found that you are an expert in management. I just thought that I should not be too harsh on them. After all, they are helpless and it is not easy to find a job. Who knows that if the salary is set high, they will On the contrary, they lack self-motivation and become lazy. Mama Wei, how did you come up with this trick?"

Wei Chunfang rolled her eyes: "What the fuck, when I was a foot-washing girl, my boss always did this." Fang Yi came back and revised the salary level of Lichunyuan. Only then did she realize that the neighbors were also footwashing shops, but the monthly salary of the footwashing girl was less than half of Lichunyuan. The reason why the salary is so high is that the bosses of the footwashing shop are very mean and intentionally keep the salary of the footwashing girl low. Life can be called barely. Shuang'er is kind by nature, so of course she can't be as mean as those small bosses, so she intentionally set the salary of the foot-washing girl high. The reason for supporting her is: only provide a relaxed working atmosphere for employees Give them full trust, delegate power to the greatest extent, and let their work enthusiasm be brought into play, which is easier to see results than management under pressure.

This is what is said in classic management books. Although Shuang'er has not done specific management work, she has read several management books after all. It is understandable to apply the theories in books to practice. . However, the actual situation is far from what Shuang'er imagined. Fang Yi has tried several times to find out what those foot-washing girls are thinking. Like Shuang'er, she doesn't understand that they should cherish a good manager like Shuang'er. It is tantamount to harming themselves. Can't they judge such a simple right and wrong? Regarding this question, Wei Chunfang laughed loudly: "You think they are stupid? They are not stupid at all. Not only are they not stupid, but they are better than each other."

"If they are smart, why would they make such an unwise choice?" Fang Yi asked. "This is not a smart choice, this is a smart choice." Wei Chunfang said, "They know better than anyone else that it is impossible for an honest person like Shuang'er to compete with those small bosses. It is impossible to make money, so they all want to make some money before Lichunyuan closes. You want them to share the same fate with Lichunyuan. When the courtyard prospers, I will be proud, and if the courtyard declines, I will be ashamed? Just dream .” "Since this is the case, there is even more reason to lower the wages." After hearing Wei Chunfang's words, Fang Yi made up her mind.

The salary cut has caused an uproar in Lichun Courtyard. Everyone has no objection to raising the salary, but if it is to be lowered, it will be a big trouble.As soon as Fang Yi announced this decision at the staff meeting, she immediately seemed to explode, and immediately burst into chatter.Some of the feet-washing girls cried, some made noise, some used scissors desperately, and some hanged themselves with a rope. Fang Yi opened her eyes and slapped the table and threw teacups, but it had no effect at all. The key occasion was Wei Chunfang with a high voice, and yelled a few times: "Spicy mother, the wages will not be lowered, let alone not lowered, just a little longer. But hot mother, you earned it for me Don’t you have any money? You didn’t earn me a penny, so what can I get you to pay your wages? Get out, get out, get out of here. From today onwards, Lichun Courtyard is officially closed. These idlers."

After Wei Chunfang's scolding, the feet-washing girls finally calmed down, and reluctantly accepted Fang Yi's request to reduce their wages back to the original level.Now, in order to earn enough wages, they have to work as hard as before.This situation made the foot-washing girls very angry. They used all kinds of methods imaginable to carry out passive sabotage, but slowly, when they got used to this new situation, they went to the foot-washing shop next door. After making a comparison, I found that my situation was still much better than that of my peers, and everyone accepted the reality calmly.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed. Fang Yi happily paid the bill, her brows furrowed again. Lichun Hospital is still at a loss, not only at a loss, but also has new problems in management.
