Chapter 5 Chapter 2 The Difference Between Unrequited Love and Sexual Harassment

Lara noticed that all the managers' offices in DB along this side of the aisle used large pieces of glass as partition walls. Lara asked Helen: "Is this design for aesthetics?" Helen said: "No, it is to prevent sexual harassment (sexual harassment) harassment). " Lala asked curiously: "Has there been sexual harassment?" Helen shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it." Lala asked: "Then what if there is?" Helen said bluntly: "Fry it! The company has regulations." Lala clarified in a strict professional spirit: "How does it count as sexual harassment? People say it is dating?"

Helen said: "I heard from my manager, Rose, that our director, Liszt, has given a definition. There is a clear difference between dating and sexual harassment. Dating means both are willing, and sexual harassment means one is willing and the other is not." Lala laughed as soon as she heard it: "Unrequited love is also when one is willing and the other is not." Helen was dumbfounded, she couldn't answer with her big black eyes like longan kernels. Lala approached her and joked, "Why don't I add that next time you will not be challenged when you introduce a new employee. Unrequited love can develop into sexual harassment, only if the party who is unrequited love takes action , so as to cause trouble or even harm to the other party; if people just think about it in their own hearts, it will be fine-don't tell your director that I will supplement his definition."

Helen nodded in admiration, wondering why this Lala came to be a sales assistant. She should be a supervisor, because she speaks like a supervisor, and assistants don't like her to make remarks related to summary or definition. Lala looked at the glass wall and thought: Sexual harassment can be prevented, but the glass wall may make it inconvenient for a single manager to have a relationship in the company. Helen seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and took the initiative to say: "The company has no relevant restrictions on dating, but there are regulations for employees who want to get married. Marriage is not allowed between superiors and subordinates, otherwise one of them will have to be transferred." Open——Generally speaking, one of the couples will leave the company voluntarily. It is very rare for employees to get married, especially for employees above the manager level. Up to now, I have not seen any manager fall in love in the company. "

Lara said, "Is the matter of marriage clearly stipulated?" Helen said: "Of course, it's written in the employee handbook. When new employees enter the company, don't they all sign the employee handbook to confirm their understanding and promise to abide by it? You will know after studying it." Lala heard that there was still this content in the employee handbook, so she went back and read it carefully, and found that the handbook can really answer many questions. In her first week at work, Lala signed several documents, including the employment contract, the accident insurance beneficiary designation, the employee handbook, and the code of business conduct.

The code of business conduct means that the company uses a formal written form to tell employees what they can and cannot do, and what punishment they will receive if they do not do so. The company uses this set of codes to let employees understand that the corporate culture here believes that What is moral is immoral. According to the terms of the accident insurance purchased by the company for employees, if Lala has an accident, her beneficiary can get a compensation equivalent to 60 times of Lala's monthly salary, with a maximum of two million yuan. According to this article, Lala knows that I am an extremely poor class in the company. Her monthly salary is 4,000 yuan, so the amount of compensation is 240,000. The difference between 2 million and 240,000 can be understood without division, and the 2 million obviously belongs to a certain person in the company. It's just a higher level.

As the saying goes, it's better to be surprised than not to know.Lala, who was planning to live a stable life, was immediately inspired to get promoted and get rich when she signed the power of attorney for insurance interests, which is what people often call the desire for career development. Lala has already learned from Helen that in the company, non-sales employees below the supervisory level get a year-end bonus of three months, that is, they have fifteen months of income in a year; The manager's bonus is income for 17 months a year.As for the bonus rules above the manager level, Helen doesn't know.

In addition to bonuses, there are also different levels of benefits, such as annual leave. Ordinary employees enjoy 15 days of paid annual leave, and manager-level employees also have a few days of manager leave. Another example is mobile phone bills. The upper limit of mobile phone bill reimbursement for first-line sales managers (community managers) is 500 yuan per month, and there is no upper limit for mobile phone bills for second-line sales managers (regional managers). As long as their mobile phones generate calls, they can be reimbursed. . Lala asked Helen in surprise: "Then they can report as much as they like?"

Helen said heartlessly: "Yes, you can report as much as you like." Lara said skeptically, "What if they bother to make personal calls?" Helen giggled and said, "Then they should make all the private calls. My manager, Rose, said that this is a benefit in disguise. But after a long time, you will know, how can the second-line manager have the energy to make so many private calls?" ——Anyway, the bigger the official position, the better the benefits. However, being an official is also very hard." Lala is right when she thinks about it, she has already become a second-line manager, so why make so many private calls when she has nothing to do?Compared with Hong Kong and Taiwan companies that have served in the past, either the reimbursement amount for mobile phone bills is relatively low, or employees are required to submit a bill of call bills when reimbursed.

Lala thought to herself, maybe this is the difference between foreign companies and Hong Kong and Taiwan companies. It will give you freedom and trust within a certain range, and make employees more comfortable.At least, Lala feels that DB is rich and elegant, and although she has not yet enjoyed the benefits of "report as much as you like", she is already proud and secretly happy in her heart. Lala suddenly thought of something and asked Helen: "Helen, how many female directors and regional managers does DB have in China?" Helen took out the telephone extension list and counted the numbers, saying: "There are 24 directors in total, including six female directors; the sales department has three business lines, among which the commercial customer part is divided into five regions, and there are five regions. The manager, the key account department and the public account department are divided into three regions, each with three regional managers—so there are eleven regional managers in total, and three of them are female regional managers.”

Lala immediately calculated silently in her heart that the proportion of women in the management team is less than a quarter. Helen recalled the topic of whether the regional manager would make random private phone calls, and said, "Lala, to be a regional manager, one must appear to be in good health and energy, so even if they really have some time, the male university The district manager will rush to run and play ball, and the female district manager will not have time to go to the beauty salon, so I guarantee that she will not be interested in making boring private phone calls. Otherwise, how can I be a district manager.”

Lara smiled and nodded in agreement. In the spirit of carrying the gossip to the end, Helen introduced to Lala the jokes about the class division of the company's employees, and Lala summed it up: The level below the manager is called "petty bourgeoisie", which means "poor people". Under normal circumstances, they use public transportation to commute, otherwise it will affect the repayment of the mortgage; The level of managers is considered "middle class". The class characteristic is that they do not need to rely on loans to buy their first house. The typical private car of first-line managers is "Bora". Passat", the transportation subsidies provided by the company can basically cover the daily expenses caused by the use of cars; The director level is the "high-income class", and the "high-yield" have more than one real estate. The house must be a high-quality real estate or a "villa" in a good location. They can voluntarily choose to enjoy the business car provided by the company, or take the equivalent of the company's business model. The price subsidy amount buys the car by oneself, and the expenses related to the car are fully borne by the company; The VP and the president are "rich people", they have housekeepers and concierges at home, and the company has a dedicated driver, and travel in first class. Lala thought that she couldn't be a sales assistant all the time, otherwise she would have to be a "petty bourgeoisie".
