Chapter 35 34. Who didn't recognize the situation
Lala was taken aback by Huang Guodong, she threw down the microphone as if she was burning her hands, and walked quickly to open the door to let Huang Guodong in.
Huang Guodong just finished talking with Li Weidong.Although he didn't care about oppressing Du Lala, even if it had no purpose and no benefit—but this time, after doing it, he felt that it seemed to be a little too much.Therefore, after Li Weidong left, he could have called or sent someone over to call Lala, but he deliberately called Lala to make up for it.
Standing by the door, Huang Guodong said with a pleasant face: "I interrupted your call? You can continue to call, and go to my place after the call."
Many times, people in trouble really don't ask for much. A glass of water and a little smile are not enough, but they are very effective.
Huang Guodong's gentle face lifted Du Lala's heart out of the frying pan.Lala hurriedly said: "It's okay! I'll make this call later." After finishing speaking, she followed Huang Guodong back to his office.
The two discussed the salary increase plan that Lala had prepared, and Huang Guodong was more concerned with understanding Lala's thinking and whether there had been any changes in SH's approach from previous years.
Lala saw that Huang Guodong was very concerned about maintaining the original practice, so she asked Huang Guodong: "For employees who have served for a full year, should their salary increase be PRORATE? ?”
Huang Guodong immediately asked: "How did you do it in the past?"
Lala told him: "In the past, they had to make a discount."
Huang Guodong guessed what Lala was thinking, and said, "You want to change your ways?"
Lala nodded and began to explain to Huang Guodong in Cantonese.Her mood hadn't completely jumped out of the shock and pain, but because she still had to use unsalty Cantonese and stammered, this shock and pain was covered with a funny color, which seemed Awkward and weird.
Lala said: "According to the past practice, for example, an employee who has been in the company for half a year can get an 8% salary increase based on his performance, but once converted, he can only get 4%. Some European and American companies have different practices, so I am worried that employees who have joined for less than a year will feel at a disadvantage."
Huang Guodong said: "Since they have been doing this in China for so many years, it means that this method can guarantee fairness for employees."
Lala said: "If you want to ensure fairness, you can only fully consider the conversion factors of the next year's salary increase in the offer when you start a job, but this will increase the workload of C&B, and the managers of various departments may also have to worry about it. Opinion. Regarding this point, I asked George Shen and Ma Lai, and they both confirmed that employees are dissatisfied with salary increases every year.”
Although Huang Guodong also felt that Lala's words were reasonable, firstly, his personal style was to be frugal in everything he could, regardless of whether the money was spent by the public or his own; Do, always safe.If there is a reform, someone will definitely jump out and ask him for a reason.
Therefore, Huang Guodong said: "Lala, here, you and I are newcomers. Many things seem to make sense on the surface, but how do you know that there is no reason? To be safe, I think we will do it this time. Follow the old way and consider reform next year.”
Lara nodded.She has already said what should be said, here Huang Guodong is the one who said YES OR N0.
The two of them had reached a conclusion on the plan.Huang Guodong asked Lala, "What are you going to do next?"
Lara took out a timetable and showed it to Huang Guodong, saying: "I want to send this plan to Charlie for review immediately. After he confirms the plan, I will present the plan at the meeting of directors of various departments next week. Come out to explain and answer questions. At present, C&B is still preparing the basic data. Before the second week of May, C&B will distribute the salary increase form to the directors of each department. At that time, they can follow the unified game rules and do it separately. A salary increase is proposed."
Huang Guodong cut in and asked a question: "When will G&B start preparing basic data?"
Lala told him that she started the work right away after she spoke with Shen Zhiqiao last Tuesday.
When Huang Guodong heard it, oh, you have been working for a week, so why wait another two weeks to complete the preparations?He frowned and questioned, "Isn't the basic data already available in the system? Why did it take three weeks to prepare?"
Lala explained: "Because C&B needs to compare the current salary of employees with the market level, if the current salary level of employees is lower than 10% of the market benchmark, it must be marked one by one. These data are needed." When Lala finished this explanation, she suddenly realized that Huang Guodong himself had never done C&B directly, so he didn't understand the workload involved.
Huang Guodong asked in surprise: "Are you going to compare the salaries of the two thousand employees one by one?"
Lara confirmed, "Yes. Match all."
When Huang Guodong thought about it, he couldn't help but blurted out, "This is a lot of work!" Lala nodded and said, "The main time is really tight. We will work overtime during the May Day holiday to ensure that the comparative analysis is completed before the end of the holiday."
Huang Guodong asked uncomfortably: "Who will do this job?"
Lala told him: "I will compare the salaries of employees above the manager level, and the selected comparison benchmark is the 75th percentile of the market level; for employees below the manager level, Shen Qiaozhi will do the comparison. It is the 50th percentile of market year-over-year flatness. "
Huang Guodong thought for a while and said, "Well, yes. After George Shen completes the comparison, you have to check all his things before sending them to various departments."
Lala nodded and said, "Of course, I will be responsible for the results of his work."
Seeing that Huang Guodong didn't raise any new questions, Lala continued to explain the timetable: "In the second week of May, the directors of each department will have one week to complete the salary increase proposal of their department. Then, I set aside a week for C&B is used to complete the summary and check the proposals of various departments. The last week of May is reserved for He Charlie. In case he wants to make adjustments after reading the summary results, then C&B will have another round of back and forth Work."
Huang Guodong said: "Your reservation is right, Charlie will probably want to modify something."
Lala nodded and continued: "In this way, on June 10th, we can report the salary increase results in China to Asia Pacific as scheduled. If we can successfully get the approval from Asia Pacific in mid-June, we will have two weeks in late June , used to compile a new salary table, and prepare a salary increase communication letter for 2,000 employees, and the employees can receive the new salary as scheduled in the current month."
After listening carefully to Lala's introduction of her schedule, Huang Guodong reminded, "It sounds like your arrangement is fine. It's just that you can't make mistakes in any link, or you will lose control."
Lara nodded and said: "Boss, I'm preparing a PPT to explain the salary increase plan to the directors at the directors' meeting. I have already put this timetable on the PPT-if Charlie confirms that there is no modification to the salary increase plan Comments, I will send you the PPT - I will ask everyone to support my work and remind everyone not to let the work be delayed in their own links. Of course, during this period, C&B will send a mass email every week to remind relevant personnel to pay attention schedule."
Huang Guodong was satisfied with the whole plan, and felt that Lala had indeed considered it more thoughtfully.However, he still didn't get rid of the habit of despising Du Lala, and lost the reason and purpose of his despise. His despise has fallen into a kind of Singaporean blindness.Fortunately for Lara.This contemptuous arrogance.Just like the cold wave that crossed the mountains, it roared all the way and gradually weakened all the way.
Huang Guodong didn't say a word of approval.Lara didn't expect praise from him either.Seeing that the discussion on the salary increase plan was relatively smooth, Lala took advantage of the atmosphere and proposed to Huang Guodong the idea of adding manpower to the C&B team.
Huang Guodong waved his hand and said: "Chen Jie mentioned this matter at the beginning of the year, but David did not approve it. I don't want to bother him with the same matter again. Lala, I advise you to wait until the second half of the year to talk about this matter. Right now, after all, you I’m a newcomer, and I’m also a newcomer, so I can’t ask for it before I’ve finished my job!”
Lala saw his attitude that the needle could not be inserted and the water could not be splashed, and after thinking about it, she held back the matter of Sheng Emma.
Talking about Hewitt's salary survey, Huang Guodong said that McDavid means that in addition to Hewitt's salary survey, he should also participate in Mercer's salary survey, so that the data from both sides can complement each other.
Although this meant that Lala and Shen Qiaozhi's workload went up again, they were quite happy.This kind of work, they love to do, it is valuable.
Coming out of Huang Guodong's office, Lala immediately emailed a salary increase plan to He Charlie, and then printed a copy of HARDCOPY and sent it to him, so as to urge him to read the plan face to face.
Lala was asking Charlie He's assistant, "When is it convenient for Charlie, I want to occupy him for twenty minutes." Charlie He had already seen Lala in the room, and he raised his voice: "Lala! Want me? Come in, come in !"
Charlie He's assistant smiled at Lala: "Good luck! Come in!"
He Charlie briefly looked at the salary increase plan, and asked Lala: "Are you still planning to ask for a PR0RATE (converted) salary increase this year?"
Lara told him.What Huang Guodong meant was to follow the old rules this time.Whether reforms are needed will be determined next year.
Charlie He frowned and said, "Did George Shen tell you that when the salary was raised last year, many department directors raised their opinions on this, and HR also promised to reform at that time."
Lala hurriedly explained: "Both George Shen and Ma Lai have said it. My boss is mainly worried that he and I have just taken over and don't understand the situation. If we rashly change our original approach, there will be problems."
Charlie He said disapprovingly: "What will go wrong! The key is not to exceed the budget for the monthly fee! As long as the cost does not exceed the budget, what problems can happen! My opinion is to change the practice of PR0RATE this year, and don't delay it to It's next year."
Lala promised to pass on Charlie He's opinion to Huang Guodong immediately, and asked Charlie He to take time to see if there is anything that needs to be revised.Charlie He promised to reply to her within two days.
Lala felt that the matter was over and got up to leave.He Charlie stopped her and said, "Lala, do you have time to sit down for a while?" Lala thought that the general manager still had work to do, so she hurriedly said, "I have time."
Unexpectedly, Charlie He said with a smile on his face: "How is it, Lala? This is your third week working at SH, right? How do you feel? I've been busy all the time, so I didn't care about you and Li Weidong."
Lala told He Charlie: "I just came here, and I am still familiar with the personnel and various work tasks. Right now, I mainly focus on doing a good job in the annual salary increase. The employees are all looking forward to the salary increase. .Then we have to start the preliminary preparations for participating in the salary survey of European and American companies, and Hewitt’s consultants will come to have a meeting with us next week.” Lala said, and couldn’t help making a comparison between Charlie He’s attitude and Huang Guodong’s attitude. In contrast, I felt emotionally in my heart: Even if it is the most hypocritical concern, if Huang Guodong is willing to give me a little, I can feel better!If only the reporting line hadn't changed!Then Charlie He is my boss's boss, and Huang Guodong must not dare to bully me so arrogantly.
He Charlie found that, regardless of what Lala said about Ding's work, there was not a single word in her answer about feelings, and his question was clearly "how does it feel".
He Charlie is a person with a very high IQ. He was sensitive to something immediately, and said with a smile: "I think you don't look as good as when you came to the interview before. Are you under too much pressure? Are you too busy with work? Pay attention to your body rest." .I have to remind your boss that he should take great care to keep you two new managers. You are very important to him. By the way, Lala! Later, tell Li Weidong for me. After the department director meeting is over next Monday, I invite you two to dinner!"
As soon as Lala returned to her office, Li Weidong came over. "I saw you passing by my door, so I came here quickly, lest you be taken away by the boss when you turn around." Li Weidong said with a smile.
Lala said: "I have something to tell you too." She told Li Weidong about Charlie He's next week's treat, and Li Weidong sighed: "Old He is smart and knows how to behave! If our old He is so Good logic is fine!"
When the topic came to Huang Guodong, Lala immediately shut up.She lowered her head and flipped through her notes, waiting for Li Weidong to get down to business.
Li Weidong came to Lala to discuss with Lala, and work with Ma Cai to jointly reform and improve the recruitment process.Lala understands what Li Weidong means, because she thinks the existing recruitment process is not professional enough.
But Lala felt that, in fact, the recruitment situation was passable. In comparison, C&B was just waiting for someone to deal with.Lala really doesn't have the energy to allocate to the recruiting team right now, but she was too embarrassed to say it too bluntly, she thought for a while and said: "Weidong, you and I are very busy now, I'm afraid I don't have enough energy to make specific plans for this Thing - I have a suggestion, why not take one person from each of the three recruiting teams to form a team and work together to fix the recruiting process. Pan Jiwen on Marley's side is the recruiting supervisor, so let him be the team leader, what do you think? "
Li Weidong thinks this idea is feasible, but he has a good idea in his mind. Regardless of Pan Jiwen being the recruitment supervisor, his ability is not as good as Lala's Emma, so Li Weidong said: "Lala, in fact, the recruitment task of your group is the most important. The heavy one has the most hands—I think it’s better to let Emma take the lead!”
If Emma is allowed to take the lead, it will inevitably add another burden to her already heavy workload. This is something Lala doesn't want to happen. In addition, she doesn't want to rectify the recruitment process at this stage, so she declined: "Wei Dong, to be honest, I also think that Emma's mind is quite clear-but if Emma takes the lead, I'm afraid not only Pan Jiwen will feel uncomfortable, but even Marley may feel uncomfortable."
Li Weidong really didn't consider Marley's feelings, and he hesitated when he asked Lala to talk about it.Lala came up with another compromise idea: "Why don't you choose a team leader, let the three of them discuss together and decide on the division of labor!"
Li Weidong had no better way, so he had to accept it.
Even if the two agree on a point of view.Lala didn't expect that in order to rectify the recruitment process, there would be so much unhappiness between herself and Li Weidong later.
After talking about the business, Li Weidong said to Lala with concern: "Lala, I think you don't look very well today, are you in a bad mood?"
Lara immediately stopped talking.In order to prevent Li Weidong from seeing Huang Guodong's attitude towards her, she has worked hard.However, Huang Guodong's rage at her in front of Li Weidong today is tantamount to tearing her fig leaf completely.Lala felt that it was no longer necessary to hide in front of Li Weidong.Thinking of this, Lala said with a wry smile: "You have seen it all today."
Li Weidong comforted Lala and said, "He's the boss, he likes to play tricks. Just let him go, don't take it too seriously."
Lala shook her head and said nothing.Li Weidong also knew that his consolation was rather empty, so he thought for a while and said: "His attitude today is really strange to me. He needs us very much now, and we are all working hard. Normally, he should treat us better. We As long as one of the two escapes, he will be in a very troublesome situation. He has also been a professional manager for so many years, why can't he recognize the situation?"
Lara said, "He's still good to you."
Li Weidong was stunned for a moment, and persuaded: "Yes, he is really good to me. But, Lala, don't be too sensitive. I know. You came from DB, and DB is a good company. The two HR directors you used to I've heard of them too. You can't expect Huang Guodong to be at their level!"
Lala nodded, but still looked sluggish.Li Weidong looked at him and couldn't help laughing: "Lala, let me tell you, you are used to being in a good environment, and you become delicate. In the companies I worked in before, some interpersonal relationships were very tense. I have experienced quite a few things between colleagues who slapped the table face to face and stumbled behind their backs, so what? I am not living a good life yet!"
When Li Weidong said this, Lala felt a little embarrassed, and she said, "Weidong, thank you for comforting me."
Li Weidong smiled and said: "Lala, Huang Guodong really didn't say anything about you in front of me. He really made a big fuss today - I might as well tell you that he was discussing with me about the financial director Rong Miaozhi. Several departments have reported that Rong is very egotistical and is used to messing around. If you really have a problem, it is difficult to go to him to solve it for you. So the company may consider replacing him—you just know about it , don’t tell others. I’m afraid you won’t be able to let go of what I was discussing with Huang Guodong at that time if I don’t tell you today.”
Li Weidong's words hit Lala's heart, she couldn't help but blush a little, and said from the bottom of her heart: "Weidong, thank you for your kindness, really. Don't worry, I won't go out and say it."
While Du Lala and Li Weidong were talking in the room, Charlie He and Huang Guodong were also talking behind closed doors.
He Charlie first talked about Ding PRORATE, and Huang Guodong immediately agreed to modify the salary increase plan according to He Charlie's intention and cancel the PRORATE practice.
Charlie He changed the topic and said: "Chen Jie did a great thing for us before he left - you two new managers are good! Smart and hardworking! Chen Jie spent a lot of effort to recruit these two people , it is finally effective! But he himself has not enjoyed the benefits of these two managers for a day. Old Huang, you are better off!"
Huang Guodong smiled reservedly: "It's okay. Li Weidong is really smart!"
Charlie He saw that he had no more to say, and immediately said: "Du Lala is equally smart! Both are smart! I was a little worried that Du Lala had never done C&B before, and she would be struggling at work, but I found that she was relatively quick to get started. The focus is very clear, and the communication is very proactive. Lao Huang, these two HR managers are really good, you should keep them well, and don’t let them be pried away by others! If you want to find such a good one again, But it's difficult!" Charlie He laughed heartily after saying that.
Huang Guodong also laughed.He somewhat felt the reminder that there was something in He Charlie's words.He couldn't help secretly comparing Du Lala and Li Weidong again. Li Weidong always reacted quickly and appropriately. As for Du Lala, her reaction was always half a beat slower than Li Weidong's, and she couldn't speak smoothly. She looked like she lacked confidence. Son, like a stupid little daughter-in-law who has to minimize the space occupied so as not to be unpopular.
Huang Guodong couldn't help being surprised by He Charlie's emphasis on Du Lala's intelligence, which was the same argument as Chen Jie's.Huang Guodong thinks that Charlie He said this because he hasn't seen the situation clearly. In a month or two, Charlie He will understand that Li Weidong and Du Lala are not the same.
