At the end of each year, small factories always face recruitment difficulties. As the Spring Festival approaches, workers are returning to their hearts, but bosses are anxious about the upcoming order delivery deadline. Despite attractive salaries and bonuses, the desire for workers to leave is hard to stay, leaving many factory owners feeling helpless.
Lao Li often went to work in a small factory on the outskirts of the city to subsidize his family. Recently, the small factory where he works won a big order with the efforts of the boss, and the delivery time is very tight. The boss wanted the workers to continue working during the Spring Festival, and even offered attractive terms of high salaries and bonuses, but with little effect.
On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Lao Li and a group of workers decided to go home early for the New Year, so they went to the boss to settle their wages. In the office, the boss said to the workers who were leaving: "If you can stay, work during the Spring Festival, the salary will be three times, and the year-end bonus will be at least 10,000 yuan." However, a veteran employee who has worked in the factory for 10 years stood up and said, "Even if you have more money, it is better to be with your family." We worked hard all year to have a good year with our families. If you can't do that, there's no point in making more money. ”
In the traditional concept of Chinese, the Spring Festival is an important time for family reunion. Sitting around for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is more important than anything else. Although some industries still need to be manned during the Chinese New Year, most people would rather give up their overtime pay and go home to spend the New Year with their loved ones. However, the reality is often harsh, and many workers worry that if they do not follow the company's arrangement and go home for the Chinese New Year, they may lose their jobs in the coming year. As a result, they are caught between family and work.
Today, many factory owners are far less honest than they once were. In the face of the workers, they always play all kinds of tricks. Regarding the year-end bonus, bosses often promise a generous amount at the beginning of the year, but when it is actually distributed, it will be greatly discounted by just finding an excuse. For example, the year-end bonus that was originally said to be no less than 10,000 yuan was issued on the grounds that the company's funds were tight, and it became 5,000 yuan. If this routine is played too much, the workers will naturally become vigilant and no longer easily believe in the boss's promises.
When the boss promised a high bonus for staying and working during the Spring Festival, the workers already knew in their hearts that most of these words were empty promises. For them, going home for the New Year is the most important thing of the year. No matter how high the income is, it is difficult to make up for the warmth of reuniting with family. The old employees said from their hearts: "No matter how high the salary of the boss is, it cannot replace the warmth of going home for the New Year." We have been working for a year so that we can go home for the Spring Festival and have a reunion with our families. ”
Although the workers know the boss's routine, they sometimes have to compromise in order to make a living. In particular, workers who need to support their families often choose to stay in the face of the temptation of high bonuses. Many more, however, prefer to abandon these and return to their hometowns to reunite with their families.
Behind the recruitment shortage faced by the factory during the Spring Festival is the deep affection of the workers for their families and the questioning of the integrity of their bosses. Despite the high salaries and attractive bonuses, the workers' determination to go home for the New Year could not be shaken. Bosses may need to reflect on how to find a balance between rules and regulations and humane management, and truly care about the needs of workers in order to retain their hearts.
