Chapter 195 We do not encourage employees to work overtime
"So in this regard, we have specially formulated a set of regulations on employee exercise and listed it as one of the important criteria for quarterly employee evaluations.
We require the company's employees to exercise no less than thirty hours per quarter, and on this basis we have also introduced many incentives.
For example, employees can use our smart voice assistant or sports bracelet to upload their own sports data, and then exchange for certain points.
These points can be exchanged for rewards, such as a sumptuous lunch, desserts, drinks, dolls, etc."
"Thirty hours a quarter, isn't that a little too much?" Lu Yu asked him.
Wu Hao shook his head at this, then looked at the employees exercising in the distance and said: "The issuance and implementation of any system regulations are universal, so we must take into account the actual situation of each employee.
Our goal is to allow employees to gain health and happiness through exercise, rather than letting it become a burden and pressure for everyone. This is not our original intention."
Lu Yu nodded after hearing this, and then continued to look at the environment in the park, as if he was curious about everything.
Then the two came to the company's restaurant, where many people were dining. After seeing Wu Hao and the others walking in, the employees were a little curious, but they still greeted Wu Hao warmly.
"Everyone seems to like you." Lu Yu smiled upon seeing this.
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head and said, "I don't usually exaggerate like this. Maybe I saw you guys coming, so I just wanted to give me some face."
"Haha, it can be seen from their words and deeds that they are not afraid of you at all. Are you usually a very easy-going person?" Lu Yu asked him while observing everyone's expressions.
When Wu Hao heard this, he glanced at the employees who were still looking at him from time to time, then nodded slightly and said, "That's right. Outside of work, I'm still very easy to get along with."
Upon hearing his words, Lu Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately grasped the key points in his words and asked, "So you are very serious at work."
Well, Wu Hao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, it's just that we are more serious. Normally everyone can play and make trouble, it doesn't matter, we don't have any hard and fast rules. Everyone can do whatever you want.
, as long as it’s not excessive.
For example, they pet cats, play games, watch videos, walk dogs, play with irons, and some female employees wear sweaters, etc. But once they start working, they must be serious.
In fact, we do not have any rigid working time requirements for technical employees. What time must they come, what time can they work until what time they can leave, etc. There is no such thing.
Employees can come at any time, and even some who like to sleep in may not come all morning. But there is a prerequisite, and that is that the work assigned to you must be completed with quality and quantity.
There is a saying we highly recommend within our company, that is, what you pay is directly proportional to what you get, and the more you pay, the more you will get."
"It's a great system, a bit like G song's corporate culture. But in this case, wouldn't you worry that someone would be passive and fish in troubled waters?" Lu Yu first praised it, and then asked.
Wu Hao did not answer, but picked up the tray and asked her: "What can I eat?"
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at the various breakfasts on the dining table, including steamed buns, fried dough sticks, pancakes, steamed buns, bread, porridge, soy milk, milk, some fruit salad, etc.
Seeing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a little regretful, as if he had eaten a little too much in the morning.
"Thank you, I'll do it myself." Then she picked up the tray and started ordering herself, first a small pancake, a salad and soy milk.
Wu Hao also casually ordered a few items, then walked to a seat by the window with her and sat down.
"Your breakfast is very rich. Is it always like this?" Lu Yu said, taking a bite of pancakes.
Wu Hao nodded, then drank a sip of juice and said: "It has been like this since it opened here, and it provides uninterrupted catering services to employees 24 hours a day."
"round-the-clock?"
Wu Hao nodded: "Yes, 24 hours a day. The company often has employees working overtime. In order to ensure that they can eat at any time, I require the restaurant to be open 24 hours a day to ensure everyone's needs."
"So the employees are under a lot of work pressure and often have to work overtime." Lu Yu asked Du Juan after taking a sip.
Wu Hao nodded and smiled: "Indeed, as our business continues to expand, everyone is facing a lot of pressure.
But in fact, we don’t encourage everyone to work overtime, but some R&D departments have heavy workloads, so they have to work overtime. And some technical staff also have a habit of having inspiration only at night.
Going back to your question just now, in a relaxed working environment, there will definitely be people who are passive and fish in troubled waters, but they are only a very small number.
As I said before, efforts and rewards are directly proportional. The more you pay, the more generous the rewards will be.
Such incentives have also given rise to the bad habit of many people who like to stay up late and work overtime.
In fact, except for some important projects and work, we do not encourage or even want employees to work overtime. On the one hand, it is harmful to health, and on the other hand, it will also increase the company's operating costs.
It has even been labeled by some netizens as a bad company that squeezes the value of its employees, etc."
Haha, Lu Yu smiled knowingly, then looked at him and said: "I have interviewed many entrepreneurs, and they are very shy about the issue of employees working overtime. Basically, the answers are given in a few words. I didn't expect you to be very good in this regard.
He was calm and gave a very different answer."
Wu Hao smiled and wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then said: "Actually, there is nothing to avoid. This is a problem that companies must face. But now this problem has been deliberately magnified and has become a taboo for everyone.
topic.
Regarding this matter, you can actually look at it separately and see what the needs of the company and employees are respectively.
Companies simply need employees to create more value, so some companies encourage employees to work overtime.
The reason why some employees want to work overtime is that they can create more value for themselves. Especially now that many companies have implemented performance appraisal systems, the more you do, the more your salary will be.
Therefore, I think everyone should look at this issue rationally.
Of course, there are some bad habits in the industry that need to be denounced and criticized by everyone. For example, some companies impose uncontrolled mandatory overtime and wantonly squeeze the value of employees, which is very undesirable."
