My career
Author: Zhang Chuanguang
1981, after I graduated with paid study, I returned to my original company office and report. Because I graduated from the Chinese department, I was assigned to work as a clerk in the company manager's office.
Passionate Personnel Section Chief
At 8:00 on Monday morning, I arrived at the company's Personnel Section. A female section chief, who was about forty, stood up from her seat with a smile on her face and received me. She simply asked me which work area and which team I worked in before going to school. I heard that I used to be a carpenter. She looked at the cocoon on my palm and said, "I have been working in carpenter for eight years. Haha, then you are a young master. Now I want to change your job. I will work as a clerk in the company manager's office, and a lot of writing work is waiting for you to do."
Then she introduced in detail the scope of responsibilities of the manager's office and the matters to pay attention to, and also specifically reminded me: "The manager's office is a place of right and wrong; be cautious in words and actions, do less and do more; study humbly, and have a bright future." I felt very kind and encouraged after hearing this. He kept saying, "Thank you! Thank you!"
Indifferent director The irritable secretary
arrived at the manager's office, and I respectfully reported to the office director. But the director pointed to the dusty old table beside the door with expressionless expression and said, "That table was used by three people in succession, so you can sit there." After that, he lit a cigarette and left the office. The dusty old table means that the director does not welcome me to work in the office at all; "three tables used by officials" means that I will be fired sooner or later. Although I am so unpopular, I can only "because I come here, I will be safe."
I quickly swept the floor full of cigarette butts and paper, and wiped all the desks clean. As soon as I sat down to take a breath, the director came back. He threw a list and a phone book on my desk and said, "Immediately notify all units of the company to go to the third floor of the company to attend the manager's office meeting at 9 o'clock on Thursday morning." After that, he left again, he was really busy.
I immediately picked up the list and the phone number book, came to the phone in the corridor (at that time, there was only one office phone on each floor) and started making calls. The company has four working areas under its jurisdiction, including paint, water and electricity, installation, equipment, materials and other units. On the phone, I asked the leader first, then introduced myself, and then notified the heads of each unit to attend the manager's office meeting in the third floor conference room of the company's office at 9 a.m. Thursday.
is still normal when notifying the first and second work areas. But when I informed me of the third office area, I became excited. Because this is where I worked for eight years. As soon as the concierge called, I shouted, "Master Luo!" But I heard the voice of a familiar woman from the other end of the phone: "Master Luo is not here! Who are you? What's wrong?" I quickly said, "So it's Master Luo! I am the Xiao Zhang who wears glasses in the carpentry team!" "Xiao Zhang of the carpentry team? Wear glasses? Ah! Doctor! (My nickname when I was a worker) Didn't you go to college?" "I'm back from graduation and I'm divided into a clerk in the company manager's office. Please trouble Master's wife. I know that Director Wu went to the third floor conference room of the company's office at 9 o'clock in the morning to attend the manager's office meeting. "Okay, okay! Come and play when you have time! The days pass so fast, three or four years have passed in a flash!"
After I finished all the calls and just wanted to sit down and drink water, a lady came over and said to me, "The secretary of the general branch of the company wants you to go to his place." After that, he took me to turn a corner on the long walkway to the secretary's room.
I was about to shout "Hello" by Secretary. The secretary scolded me loudly and said, "You are new to me, right? The company is a very formal office.When you call, you say your master's wife very unseriously! "When I heard this, I was shocked, so I asked back, "What should I call you, according to you? "Then I don't care! You just don’t be serious when you call your master’s wife! Forget it this time, don’t be like this in the future! Go! "After saying that, I stood up and was about to close the door, so I had to retreat. I heard a "bang" sound and closed the door.
I thought at the time, is this the killing stick described in "Water Margin"? But am I not a prisoner? I had nothing to say when I met such a completely unreasonable leader. On my way out of the secretary's office, several young people from the department stood at the door of the office, watching me. Some were shaking their heads, some were sighing, and some were gloating.
Later, when I got familiar with them, I realized that when they first came, they didn't know that they had to go to the government secretary to " to worship the wharf " first, but the government secretary scolded him for various reasons to "establish his authority". They reminded me that in the future, they would pass him to join the party, promote and raise wages, and they must not offend him.
After a while, I realized that the secretary of the agency was the most annoying to others to say the word "master's wife" in front of him. Because the mattress's skill when he was a worker was too poor, his former colleagues always laughed at his craftsman for not learning from his master, but from his master's wife, but I ran into the gun without knowingly.
The director of the agency held a meeting and was slapped in the face
is in the company's office, and the manager's office is called "management"; the party committee office is referred to as "party office". In the afternoon of the same day, the director of the agency held a meeting. Two officers, typists, and archivists, including me, attended the meeting. At the beginning of the meeting, a female officer named Zhu first attacked me and said, "Are you new here? I heard that I am still a college student, why don’t you understand the rules? On the office phone, joking with my master's wife? Destroy all the image we handled!
"Good talk! Be serious at work and be solemn. I miss you as a first offender, solemnly forget it this time!" said the director of the agency.
But at this moment, the phone rang. Secretary Zhu answered the phone and said to the director, "Manager Xiong of the head office called you." As soon as the director answered the phone, he smiled and said, "Why do you always care about your wife like this? Want to be a gray father? Haha! The matter of your wife's salary being upgraded to a higher level has been resolved! Haha! No thanks! No thanks! Just prepare the wine." Other departments laughed at the sound.
"Shouldn't the office space be very serious? How can I say such low-level interesting words as father and wife on the office phone?" When I was wondering, Director Zhu said shamelessly: "The affairs of the superiors are also ours; the personal affairs of the superiors are also ours. We should solve the problems of the leaders and liven up the atmosphere with the superiors. That is to be qualified."
Her strange and strange talks and flattery surprised me, and also made the two young female typist and archivist slapped, and the director who was slapped in the face blushed and immediately announced the end of the meeting.
Uncle admitted to the master lifted the suppression
It is only three days before the manager held the office meeting. I want to know the situation in each work area, I only have two days. So I asked the director of the agency to go to each work area to check out some situations and prepare to write Manager Hu’s speech at the annual employee representative meeting. After hearing this, the director said coldly: "Go, it's OK, but there is no bus picking up, you can go on a bicycle."
"Bus picking up? I have never thought about it." I bought a cigarette and prepared to get familiar with the leaders of all sizes in each work area, so that I can do my best to do my work in the future. In the heavy rain, I rode my bicycle on two days. I went up to Gutian and went down to the various engineering offices of the Meglian (the extension line from the starting point to the end point of Jiefang Avenue in Hankou, and there are dozens of bus stops). I met with all the leaders, full-time person in charge and technicians, learned about some data, and found several problems. I listened to some opinions and suggestions and sprinkled a cigarette. After I went home to sort it out, I also attached some instructions.Early on Thursday morning, I arrived at the unit and handed over the materials I had learned, sorted and explained to the director. After seeing it, the director immediately handed it over to Manager Hu.
On Thursday morning, it was still raining moderately. From 8:30, the company manager, deputy manager, and leaders of various departments had arrived at the venue. Several leaders of the work area also arrived at the venue one after another. They were smoking cigarettes, drinking tea, and talking to each other. Only the leaders of the Sangong District and Equipment Department, which are far away, are trapped on the road due to traffic jams.
At this time, the company's manager Hu suddenly said to me: "Xiao Zhang, I heard that you have been working on the site for eight years, so I will ask you a few questions." As soon as Manager Hu spoke, everyone's attention was focused on Manager Hu and me. I think you can’t use the language of college when you are in college, but the language of the construction unit. The secretary of the agency and the director of the agency were staring at me fiercely. Although I was a little nervous, I still answered to the manager: "Can you ask!" Manager Hu smiled and said, "Okay, the first question is, what does 'falling hands clear' mean?" After Manager Hu asked, he lit a cigarette and looked at me. I replied: "That is to say, no matter which type of work is completed, the construction site must be cleaned and not lost. For example, our carpenters should pick up the nails left on the ground during construction, put them in the tool box, and use them tomorrow; reinforcement worker should clean up the unused wire and take them back to the engineering office for further use; similarly, the welder has not used welding rods , the concrete worker has opened the bag and has not used it, and the shelf worker has not used it for the time being fasteners and so on must be brought back to the sheds in various places and used them the next day. This not only cleans up the site, but also saves costs." After hearing this, the leaders present nodded and praised, "That's what it means, right! Well said!" Manager Hu also smiled and said, "It's still very sensible!"
"The second question, what does 'three connections and one level' mean?" Manager Hu asked again. I immediately replied: "'Three-way and one leveling' refers to the preparation work before the on-site construction.'Three-way and one leveling' means that the site must be 'water, electricity and roads' before the construction;'one leveling' means that the construction site is level. If the 'three-way and one leveling' is not reached, the construction machinery, materials, and construction teams cannot enter the site." "Haha! It really came out of the construction site." Manager Hu and some other leaders nodded together. The secretary of the agency and the director of the agency looked at me in surprise, as if saying, "Do you know this?"
"The third question is, how can construction units make money?" After Manager Hu asked, some of the leaders in the conference room stared at me with their eyes.
"Dear leaders, this problem is too big. I can only talk about it according to my experience and immature ideas from eight years of work. Please correct me." "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Tell me, it seems that you have a lot of ghost eyes and a few tricks." Manager Hu said. After hearing this, the other leaders shouted loudly, "Spray smoke! Spray smoke!"
I quickly got up and greeted the prepared cigarettes, and then said, "1. Rely on qualifications, quality, and reputation to take over projects. You can make money by doing projects. Qualification is very important. It is not enough to have construction workers in the construction team. The important thing is to have engineers, or even senior engineers of ! With such qualifications, the Party A can be assured to hand over the project to us. For example, our carpenter brothers helped friends outside on Sunday, "pick up shrimps". If there is no Level 6 master ink, we will just rely on our "two" Tuo Candy’, (second-level carpenter), who dares to hand over the furniture to us? Hahaha! The venue laughed like a ball. "
" Quality is also very important. If concrete turns into honeycomb horny noodles , and even steel bars are exposed, do you still want to take the next project? I remember one year, we were constructing at the Hankou Paper Factory, and there was a big mess. There was a workshop with driving beams, which needed to be supported by many columns, and the beams were placed on the ox leg of the column. But we had a fifth-level carpenter who put the drawings in his armpits all day long, for fear that our youth workers would learn to look at the drawings and asked us to support the template according to the line he placed.While we supported the template, we felt something was wrong. It seemed that the direction of beef legs was reversed. Where to put the driving? After the template is supported, the steel bar worker is also confused. I will build steel bars wherever your carpenter's cow leg form is.
Seeing the supported formwork and the tied steel bars, I thought that when the concrete poured and solidified tomorrow, the loss would be too great! Without further ado, we ran back to the carpentry team and reported that the person in charge rushed to the scene with us. When he opened the drawings, he took a breath and we were shocked. It was indeed wrong, so we and the reinforcement workers worked overtime overnight to rectify the problem. Very dangerous! If something really happens, the loss is unimaginable! I'm afraid that Party A will drive us out of the Hankou Paper Mill. There is no need to say much about "reputation". If the quality is good and the construction period has not been missed, then there will definitely be repeat customers. If the construction period is scheduled for the twelfth lunar month and you have not delivered the house on August 15th of the next year, then the Party A will definitely argue first and then worship, and everyone laughed.
2. Make money by materials. This is for sure. Because of the material payment, Party A will allocate it to us. If we use the , which we have used before, and have better preserved , turnover material, , we will continue to use it on the engineering, and we will make money on the materials. As for labor costs, you can't make money. At this time, I found that the leaders of the Third Engineering Office where I was originally located arrived, and said that unless the "mixed platoon" was done by the Third Engineering Office, we had finished our work during the day and worked overtime at night without any fees, dragging the cement truck and making bricks, the labour fee will be saved and money will be made. When everyone heard this, they pointed at the heads of the Third Engineering Office and burst into laughter. "You boy, dare you say this?" Manager Hu said loudly. As a result, I laughed even harder. The heads of the Third Engineering Department looked at me with their beards and stared at me.
3, make money by budget. How can you make money by relying on budget? Everyone laughed at me. "The budget is more calculated, and the review is more important" cross policy cannot be spread. Of course, this can only be done, not said... "You said everything at the conference, but you still said you can't say it?" Manager Hu shook his head and said. "It's all my own people, no outsiders, just think I'm talking nonsense..." I quickly lit another cigarette for Manager Hu, and kept laughing at the venue. The heads of the
device department have not arrived yet, everyone has to wait. Manager Hu looked at the constant rain outside the window, sighed and said, "It's raining in the middle of the night!" "It's getting up in the middle of the night, three or five or seven." I answered. Manager Hu looked at me in surprise and said, "Close up", "Stop in the morning." I continued, "Oh! Do you still know these words, tell me, what does it mean?" Everyone looked at me. I replied, "I heard from the master: 'The rain that gets up in the middle of the night will take three days, five days, or seven days in a row; if it is the rain that gets closed at dusk, it will stop and turn sunny the next morning.'" "Xiao Zhang, is your kid's master Huang Yuanen or Huang Shuwa?" Manager Hu asked with a smile.
I was shocked and said, "Do you know my master? Huang Shuwa is my master, and Huang Yuanen is my master. Both of them have taken care of me. Both of them are top six-level masters." Haha! Manager Hu smiled and said, "Huang Shuwa is my senior brother, Huang Yuanen is my second senior brother, and the three of us are learning skills together. Boy, I am your uncle!" Ah? When I heard this, I stood up and bowed deeply to Manager Hu and said, "Uncle Master is here. I don't know if it's Uncle Master in front of me. There is courtesy here!"
Manager Hu looked at me and smiled, "This is not a matter of bowing. Find a time and find a place. If you invite those two masters, I will participate too. You must kowtow to toast!" I quickly agreed and said, "Kowtow, toast!" At this time, the conference room laughed and shouted, "Kowtow, toast to smoke!" After a while, the leader of the equipment department also arrived.
Under Manager Hu's instructions, the venue became quiet and the meeting officially began. Manager Hu gave a detailed explanation of the tasks for the remaining two months in the fourth quarter. Each unit is also required to make written explanations based on the annual indicators of its unit and in combination with the completion of the indicators in the first three quarters. Report existing problems and measures to be taken to the company.
Finally, Manager Hu joked to the director of the Party Office: "Central Director of the Party Office, I'll hand over Xiao Zhang, the apprentice to you. Teach him how to write my speech at the post congress." The director of the Party Office immediately said: "Okay! OK! I and Chuanguang learn from each other and learn from each other. When the
was finished eating lunch boxes at lunch, the secretary of the agency and the director of the agency squeezed over and sat with me for dinner. The director of the agency said to me: "Your desk has been replaced with a new one, and it is also equipped with a glass plate. In the future, I will work with me; the secretary of the agency said to me kindly: "You are a clerk in the administrative office of the company and will be promoted to secretary in the future. It is not that you are not a party member. After you have been busy in the field for a while, you will write an application for joining the party and hand it over to me, and study with the activists who strive to join the party in the agency, listen to party classes, and strive to join the party organization as soon as possible, and carry out your work better." After hearing these two people, you may finally understand that with the backing of the manager and uncle, their suppression of me was finally over.
After lunch, when I returned to the new desk where I handled my new office, Director Zhu made a cup of tea for me very enthusiastically, holding his hands on my desk. I looked at her eyes and the expression on her face intently. She was so sincere and approachable. I sighed with great admiration, "You really know how to play the show!" So I said thank you to her and then lay down on the table and took a nap. The office bell rang, and when I woke up, I found myself wearing a woman's spring outfit, and suddenly felt creepy.
The secret trick of the director of the Party Office
After lunch break, I went to the Party Office to meet the director. The director poured me a cup of tea and said, "Dissemble, don't panic, write a report, let's talk first. I am a military employee and like to stand straight. I appreciate your work attitude, passionate and serious, but you have no experience in work. You want to summarize the work of all units for almost a year in half a month. Is it possible? There are also comparisons between data and different periods, and it is even more impossible for you to summarize it, right?" "But what should I do? If I can't write the report, will it affect the convening of the staff congress?" I said the director laughed. He said, "Don't worry! You graduated from the Chinese department. Have you ever been to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou?" I replied. "Do you still remember that famous couplet?"
"Remember, remember, things in the world are still not over, why not let it go. There is no fixed law in the world, and then you know that it is illegal."
"Haha, that's great, then tell me what these two sentences mean?" The director picked up the teacup and clinked my teacup. I said, "The first couplet means that if you want to solve the whole world completely, but you still can't solve it. Why not solve it with an attitude of not solving it?"
"Very good! Very good!" the director clapped his hands and said. "What about the next sentence?" the director asked again. I continued, "People in the world want to find a solution to all problems, but they still couldn't find it. Later, I realized that they could use a method that is not a solution." The director laughed and said, "Excellent! Wonderful!"
"I will teach you how to use a method that is not a solution to solve the report of the manager of this staff congress." I was shocked. I really have such a solution?
At this time, the director opened the drawer and took out some printed information and said to me: "You see, these are the data and descriptions of the production situation of each department and unit of the company in each quarter; now the data difference in the fourth quarter has come out. There is also a comparison with last year and the previous year. We don't care whether their data is moisture or not. You write according to what they report, because you must not refuse to admit what they say, let alone the staff congress is just a formality." After taking these reports and data, I laughed and felt relieved all over. Can I still operate like this? What a good thing is not a solution! I bowed deeply to the director and expressed my gratitude and called him the master.Director
continued: "In the future, you should pay attention to the company's monthly "State Reflection" and the production reports and instructions of the following units every month and quarter; as well as the written speeches of the company's leaders, and the monthly and quarterly reports of the company's departments; you usually leave one copy, or copy a piece for reference. In this way, whether it is the year-end summary, the staff congress report, or report to the head office, you can write it at any time, without any need to panic. You can write it in at most two days and hand it to the typing room for printing. Moreover, the upper, middle and lower units will be satisfied and will admit it, because the data and instructions on the report were originally written by them." Director
said to me again: "As a officer or a secretary, you must understand a truth: it is not what you want to write, but the leader needs it. What do you want? If you write poorly and do not match the leader's intentions, you will be eliminated; if you write according to the leader's ideas everywhere, the leader will appreciate you and use you. That is, when scholars in ancient times wanted to pass the imperial examination, they said: I don't want articles to be the whole world, I just want articles to be examined by the examiner. Your articles meet the tastes of the examiner's examination, you will pass the exam, otherwise you will lose the title."
"The three previous tasks you did not write well, they did not match the leader's intentions, and they did not accept opinions, but were demoted to the Engineering Office below. I hope you can learn from their lessons. This is not about writing literary works to appreciate. You can express your opinions. This is to guide the work. One is one, two is two, you cannot be ambiguous, and you cannot be ambiguous, so that the lower part can be at a loss. "I was deeply inspired after listening. "As a clerk and secretary, you must be able to endure loneliness. No matter how well your article is written, it is still a leader's work in the end, and it has nothing to do with you. Do you understand?" said the director. "I understand, I understand." It's better to listen to your words than to read for ten years! I was sincerely impressed.
After handling the work, I combined the information in the hands of the director of the Party Office, interspersed some data descriptions reasonably, and then used the speeches of the leaders of the Engineering Department and the company leaders in various periods as the main line of work, and arranged them into the report of the company manager. The effect was not average. I have received unanimous praise from leaders from all over the country. In later writing work, this method was always unfavorable.
