Chapter 1479: Crying For The Workers
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
February 19th, Tuesday.
After working hard for three days, Wu Bin finally arranged the special recruitment exam that Boss Pei had assigned him.
Time was a little tight. Wu Bin was prepared that not many people would participate in this recruitment exam.
That was because Tengda’s recruitment examinations had a fixed time in the past. They would sign up a month in advance. Many people who were studying or working had ample time to prepare. They could arrange all the work on hand and participate in Tengda’s recruitment examinations.
However, the special recruitment exam this time was quite sudden. It would take some time for the news to spread. Presumably, the people who participated might not be able to make time.
However, on further thought, that did not matter. After all, it was the first special recruitment exam. It was mainly to achieve the effect of ‘spending a thousand yuan to buy bones’.
As long as the special recruitment exam this time could cause a wider response, the goal would be achieved.
Thus, he could prepare for the exam again. The announcement had to be released immediately.
Wu Bin had already written a recruitment notice and sent it to Tengda’s official website and various channels early in the morning.
The content of this summary was not particularly complicated. It explained the basic factors such as the three types of people, the duration of the exam, the content of the exam, and so on.
In addition, the standards of these three groups of people and the responsibilities of current recruitment positions were also explained in detail in the attached file.
When Boss Pei made his requests, he spoke in a relatively broad manner. For example, the second type of people: Those who had a family fertility plan or had already given birth in the past two years, both men and women could. This request was obviously more vague. For example, how to calculate the specific time, how to verify the fertility plan, and so on. Such questions obviously required a very detailed rule.
It was not unreasonable. The key was that this special recruitment exam was equivalent to preferential treatment for these three types of people. If the standard was not clear, there might be people taking advantage of the situation. Those who did not meet the criteria squeezed those who met the criteria. That would obviously go against the original intention of this special recruitment exam.
On top of that, a detailed table had been laid out for the various departments’ recruitment and number of people as per usual.
Generally speaking, the number of people hiring for the special recruitment examinations this time was about 40% of the number of people hiring for the regular examinations.
After all, the number of jobs in Tengda was there, and the number of people who could be recruited was limited. If more people were recruited for the special recruitment exam, the number of people recruited for the ordinary exam would decrease. They should be preferential to the disadvantaged group. However, if they were too preferential, it would become unfair to the ordinary group.
How to grasp the speed involved was a headache.
In fact, if Wu Bin had to decide for himself, he would think that 40% was more than enough, and 15% would be enough.
However, Boss Pei resolutely disagreed and requested the various departments to formulate more recruitment plans and recruit as many people as possible in the special recruitment activities.
Wu Bin could not dissuade Boss Pei and finally agreed to the current number.
Boss Pei had said that it was precisely because the other companies did not want these three types of people that the employment requirements of these three types of people would definitely be huge. That was why they had to open recruitment in Tengda.
Wu Bin thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Since this special recruitment exam had been decided, according to Boss Pei’s character, he would definitely make it big and huge.
He still had to listen to Boss Pei when it came to the company’s development strategy. Wu Bin was just an ordinary HR. Apart from sorting out the Tengda spirit when he had nothing to do, he was usually in charge of recruitment.
Boss Pei had the final say in how many people they recruited. The HR department only needed to ensure that the best batch of people to sign up for the exam would be selected.
After posting the recruitment notice, Wu Bin arranged for others to continue preparing for the recruitment examinations while checking the netizens’ feedback.
He had to admit that news related to Tengda spread very quickly.
This recruitment notice quickly spread. First, it was in various chat groups, forums, then it was in the media and hot searches. Soon, it gained a lot of attention online!
As expected, this news attracted intense discussions by netizens.
In fact, Wu Bin had a rough estimate of the response online before he released this news. However, Wu Bin could only sigh after seeing this news rush to the various charts at an extremely fast speed. His imagination was still too limited!
“Am I seeing things? Tengda set up an additional recruitment exam? What’s more, they only recruited people who are more than 35 years old, have a fertility plan, and have won against labor arbitration?”
“Holy sh*t, aren’t these the three types of people that other companies are trying to dissuade? Tengda is doing the opposite?”
“Could it be just for show?”
“Does Tengda need to act? What’s more, open the recruitment plan and take a closer look. There are many positions available for recruitment, and there are many in every department! It’s not the kind that only recruit one or two people.”
“Tengda is awesome! The cultural level is limited. I don’t know what else to say. It’s simply the ultimate dream land for social animals like us!”
“I really want to @ various internet giants to see what a company with a sense of social responsibility is like. Compared to some companies that ‘regularly send talents to society more than 35 years old’, the difference is obvious!”
“It’s just as well. I hope that all companies would send talents over who are over 35 years old to Tengda so that they can shine!”
“The exam time is too tight. They’re taking it this week? But it doesn’t matter. I’ve been preparing for Tengda’s recruitment exam for more than a year. I failed twice. The pressure to compete this time will definitely be much lower. I have to grasp the opportunity!”
“Damn it, I’m 34 this year. What should I do! Next year, there might be more people registering. The difficulty will increase!”
“Do you have any children? If not, I suggest you have one. If you do, you can consider having a second child. You will also be qualified for the exam.”
“Huh? Just to find a job to have children? I’m afraid you don’t know that the money spent to have children is the salary of many people for several years, right?”
“You’re still thinking about raising children after entering Tengda?”
“That’s true. Most people are unwilling to raise children mainly because they don’t have enough conditions. They either don’t have money or energy. They can’t afford it. If they can really afford it, it would be good to raise one to play with.”
“Those who haven’t registered their marriage do it quick, and then come up with a fertility plan!”
“No, is this recruitment plan discriminating against young single men? What have we done to offend single men!”
“It doesn’t matter. Young, single men still have one last option: find an opportunity to arbitrate their previous companies! Everything is the same now. Most companies are thinking of ways to dissuade their employees from giving compensation. In the past, everyone was angry but did not dare to speak up, afraid that their next job would be affected. Now, it’s great. At the very most, they can go to Tengda without any means of retreat! These heartless companies can sue them all!”
Wu Bin did not expect the announcement to cause such a huge reaction.
At the same time, he deeply felt Boss Pei’s wisdom.
If he released some limited positions as he said, it would definitely cause a lot of doubts under the popularity of public opinion.
The eyes of the masses were sharp. How many people did they recruit just because of your special recruitment? That was obviously very suspicious of acting!
However, now that there were enough people, no one could say anything.
What’s more, this recruitment plan did not cause much disgust among young people. Instead, many young people cheered.
At first, Wu Bin was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, wasn’t this equivalent to opening a special recruitment channel for these three types of people? Wouldn’t they seize some positions that originally belonged to young people? Why were young people praising it?
After some time, he finally understood. This was what it meant to hurt things!
On the surface, Tengda’s special recruitment of these three types of people would indeed have a certain impact on young people. However, who would not age? Who would not consider fertility plans one day? Who would not have any friction with previous companies throughout their entire career?
It was true that the young had not encountered a mid-life crisis. They could use their advantage in age to find good positions in some large companies through the 996 working method.
However, that did not mean that they were not worried about their own future.
That was because they saw 35-year-old employees being dissuaded during their work, pregnant female employees being talked to, and colleagues who could not even get the most basic compensation when they left.
They would naturally wonder what they would do if they encountered such problems in the future.
Without Tengda’s announcement, most people could only submit.
However, Tengda’s announcement gave them hope now. They might not be direct beneficiaries now but they would not be helpless when they were old, about to have children, and about to be arbitrated by the previous company. At the very least, Tengda had a special recruitment exam that was reserved for them.
Therefore, once this recruitment plan was released, not only did it cause a heated response in these three groups of people, but it also attracted the attention of young people, making all the employees excited!
Those who fit the criteria immediately began to prepare.
The examination time this time might be very sudden but it also meant that the difficulty of the exam this time might be unprecedented and never to be. If he missed this village, there would not be this shop!
No matter what, he had to take part in the recruitment examinations this time. He might regret it for the rest of his life if he missed it!
There were even people who had to participate even if they had no conditions.
Wu Bin was very touched. It looked like every worker in the world had suffered the same fate. Everyone was becoming more and more clear-headed!
Previously, many workers complained to each other. Young people complained that middle-aged people occupied high positions, making them lack room to rise. Middle people complained that young people worked overtime desperately, causing them to lose their jobs.
However, everyone now understood that the real problem was not within the workers.
That was why Tengda was becoming more and more popular. It was heaven for workers to dream of.
Wu Bin was encouraged and continued with the recruitment.
However, he knew very well that this was just the beginning. The wind direction might change after some time.
The reason was very simple. Tengda’s move was equivalent to roasting many other large companies on the fire.
Originally, everyone had tacitly eliminated these three types of people. They were all the same in the world, and none of them were particularly outstanding. However, now, Tengda had basically removed the cover of other companies. Would these companies leave the matter at that?
What’s more, there were many elite groups online. Their thinking was unimaginable for ordinary people.
Wu Bin did not dare to be negligent.. He continued to pay attention to the public opinion online as he prepared for the recruitment examinations.
