In this fast-paced era, every piece of workplace news is like a pebble thrown into a lake, causing ripples
Recently, an incident about a woman who took bereavement leave due to the death of her grandfather and was deducted from her salary quickly sparked a wide range of heated discussions on the Internet, which made people think: How to measure the temperature of an enterprise within the framework of the cold system?
First, the turmoil is rising, and the pain of bereavement leave
The protagonist of the story, an ordinary working woman, immediately applied for leave to the company after learning the sad news of her grandfather's death
This is human nature, and it is also the most basic respect and farewell to the deceased
However, when the salary slip arrived as scheduled, a sudden deduction of 888 yuan was like a cold winter wind, which made her heart half cold
This is not only the loss of a sum of money, but also the disregard for family affection and human care
Second, the company's response: under the rules, it is difficult to be flexible?
In the face of public opinion's doubts, the company quickly responded, saying that the grandfather did not belong to the immediate family in the legal sense, so the leave could only be regarded as personal leave
They moved out of the company's rules and regulations, emphasizing that the second leave requires double salary deductions, which seems reasonable and well-founded, but in fact chills people's hearts
Between rules and human nature, the company seems to choose the former, ignoring the emotional needs and family responsibilities behind the employees
3. Netizens are hotly discussed: Reasonableness and law, which is more important?
As soon as this matter was exposed, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet
Most netizens believe that although grandparents are not immediate family members, they play an indispensable role in many families and are important companions on the road to children's growth
The exclusion of my grandfather from bereavement leave seemed too cold and heartless
Some netizens pointed out that the practice of deducting double wages is even worse, which is not only unkind, but also violates the original intention of the labor law
Of course, there are also a few voices that believe that enterprises should strictly follow the rules and regulations, and should not be arbitrarily flexible
But such a view was quickly overwhelmed by the more general consensus that "rules are dead, people are alive."
Netizens have given examples, although some companies are treated as personal leave, they will issue additional condolences to show care, which has won widespread praise
Fourth, the eye of the law: the human touch behind the provisions
An in-depth interpretation of the relevant legal provisions shows that although the law is relatively clear on the definition of immediate family members, in practice, there is a certain ambiguity in how to define family members other than "immediate family members".
This begs the question, should the law be more flexible to accommodate diverse family structures and emotional needs?
At the same time, as a member of society, should enterprises also assume more social responsibilities and integrate more humanistic care into the rules and regulations?
Fifth, the warmth of the enterprise: the power of humanistic care
In a highly competitive business environment, the humanistic care of enterprises often becomes the key to attracting talents and enhancing team cohesion
Enterprises that can find a balance between system and humanity are often able to win the loyalty of employees and the respect of society
For example, some companies have set up "family care leave" to allow employees to flexibly arrange their work when their families need it, which not only improves employee well-being, but also brings long-term benefits to the company
6. Employee Shield: Rights and Interests Protection and Self-Growth
In the face of unreasonable deductions, employees are not at a loss
They can protect their legitimate rights and interests through legal means, and at the same time, they should also continuously improve their professionalism and negotiation skills, and strive for more initiative in the workplace
More importantly, employees should learn to reasonably express their demands and emotions within the scope allowed by the rules, so that enterprises can make more humane decisions on the basis of understanding the real needs of employees
7. The Mirror of Management: The Balance between System and Human Nature
This incident is not only a sympathy and concern for personal suffering, but also a deep reflection on the concept of enterprise management
Enterprises should recognize that while institutions are important, human care is also indispensable
When formulating and implementing rules and regulations, the emotional needs and family responsibilities of employees should be fully considered, so that the system can become a powerful guarantee for the development of the enterprise, rather than a cold shackle that hinders the growth of employees
In this era full of challenges and opportunities, as an important force in social and economic development, the management philosophy and mode of enterprise directly affect the happiness of employees and the harmony of society
Let us look forward to the future of enterprise management to pay more attention to humanistic care, let the system and human nature dance together, and jointly draw a harmonious and beautiful workplace picture
At the same time, we also call on every employee to bravely protect their rights and interests and jointly promote the construction of a more reasonable and harmonious labor relationship
In this incident of a woman taking bereavement leave due to the death of her grandfather and being deducted from her salary, we have seen the fierce collision and friction between workplace rules and human care
This is not only a tragedy of an individual, but also a profound reflection on the labor relations of the whole society
As the incident continues to ferment, it is like a mirror, reflecting whether we ignore those more fundamental and humane value pursuits while pursuing efficiency and profit
We are well aware that as an important pillar of social and economic development, the improvement of the management system of enterprises is directly related to the happiness of employees and the harmony of society
Therefore, we have reason to believe that this incident will prompt more companies to start to re-examine their management concepts and methods, and strive to find that delicate balance between rules and human nature
Looking to the future, we expect to see more companies put people first and see their employees as their most valuable asset, not just a tool for profit
We hope to see that when formulating and implementing rules and regulations, enterprises can fully consider the emotional needs and family responsibilities of employees, so that the system can become a powerful guarantee for the development of the enterprise, rather than a cold shackle that hinders the growth of employees
At the same time, we also call on everyone in the workplace to bravely protect their rights and interests and dare to say no to unreasonable regulations
On the road of pursuing career development, we must not only learn to adapt to the rules, but also learn to fight for more rights and dignity for ourselves within the scope permitted by the rules
In the end, we believe that with the joint efforts of all sectors of society, a more reasonable, more harmonious and more humanistic labor relationship will gradually take shape
This is not only our common expectation, but also the mission and responsibility entrusted to us by the times
Let's work together to build a better workplace environment!
