Losing Money to Be a Chapter 358 - New Employee Handbook

Chapter 358 New Employee Handbook

December 15th, Wednesday morning…

Wu Bin ca to Shenhua View with excitent and anxiety. He learned the results on Monday. He passed the interview! He simply cheered at that mont.

He had never been so happy since he entered the working scene.

According to Tengda’s arrangents, new employees could join at any ti after they passed. Tengda would not force them to join by which date so there was no need to worry about handover at all.

They could start officially whenever their formalities were completed.

Wu Bin returned to Hengtu Gas to break the news to his boss that he would like to resign. He was naturally retained.

There were good reasons for the retention.

For example, there was work to be handed over or that year-end bonuses were about to be discussed at the annual eting. Everyone had worked together for so long; there was a relationship. Wages could be raised, etc.

However, Wu Bin still resigned resolutely without a mont’s delay.

The reason was simple. The earlier he started in Tengda, the earlier he could get a higher salary from Tengda.

Hengtu Gas might have promised to increase his pay, but that pay would never be able to match Tengda Gas’ basic salary.

The earlier he joined, the earlier he could earn more!

Therefore, Wu Bin did not delay a minute longer. He strived to the first of the new batch of employees.

The only thing that he wasn’t certain about was that he did not know if he could still be eligible for the year-end bonuses and the gifts from the annual eting.

He would definitely get them if he stayed on in his previous company.

However, Wu Bin knew that the year-end bonus and annual eting gifts from Hengtu Gas would not be too spectacular. Their year-end bonus would be a symbolic one-month worth of salary. The annual eting gift would probably just be a door gift. It would be very good if he could receive 200 or 300 yuan of red packet.

That little temptation was not enough to prompt Wu Bin to stay.

Wu Bin was feeling emotional. Poaching people had nothing to do with the HR after all; the most important factor was to see how the company treated their employees. Tengda’s employee policies required no HR to poach talents. Job seekers would naturally flock to them as long as these benefits were to be leaked out.

On the other hand, Hengtu Gas might say all they could; but they would not be able to say anything else once they were asked ‘how do you poach talents with a lower offer?’

Wu Bin wore his most expensive suit and walked into the Shenhua View with his head high. He took the elevator to the 16th floor.

Tengda’s total floor area was already relatively larger.

Fei Huang Workspace, Upwind Logistics, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Otto Technologies, Dream Realization Ventures, and other industries were not located in Shenhua View. They were all in their own office buildings.

Tengda Gas, Zhongdian Chinese Network, and TPDb were the only ones in Shenhua View. They were located on the 17th and 18th floors.

Tengda did not have enough office space after the recruitnt this ti again.

In the past, the administrative and finance departnts of Tengda Gas were all squeezed on the 17th floor. The space was more than enough at first, but the workstations were full as the number of mbers increased.

There were also frequent ‘promotions’, but that speed was too slow. It did not help the situation.

Tas

Therefore, the original office space was completely insufficient after the intensive recruitnt this ti. They would need to rent another floor.

Tengda rented the entire 16th floor as well and decorated everything in the sa manner to welco the new recruits. It would be a little strenuous if they were to continue expanding. Shenhua View’s rent might be expensive, but it was a high-end office building after all. There were not so many floors with the entire space empty.

Expansion would only be achievable either by renting floors that were farther apart or by moving to a large space, such as a unique office building.

However, that was sothing for the future. They could start looking for a suitable location from now on, but the office space should be sufficient in the short term.

The gas departnt was separated from the administrative and finance departnts after the recruitnt this ti.

The gaming departnt was left on the 17th floor while the administrative, finance, and legal departnts were shifted to the 16th floor.

The 16th floor was more spacious because there were fewer people.

Pei Qian was on this floor. He specially set up a huge conference room on this floor and moved his office over.

Large television and projectors were installed for presentation and reporting in the office and the conference room.

Tang Yishu was naturally assigned to this level as well. That was so the departnts would be more or less affected when they ca over to report.

However, Pei Qian also felt that if Tang Yishu was on the 16th floor all year round, then the bugs on the 17th floor would be significantly reduced.

Therefore, Pei Qian planned to adopt a few more stray cats from the vet and evenly distribute them on the 16th, 17th, and 18th floors.

He could arrange for more pet supplies with so many pets around like large cat climbing fras. He could even spend more money this way.

That way, Tang Yishu would be able to take care of the cats on all three levels and bring the halo effect all around.

Moreover, Pei Qian moved the gaming departnt to the 17th floor while moving his office to the 16th floor because he was hinting the employees of the gaming departnt: Please be sloppy since the boss isn’t on the sa level anymore!

Wu Bin’s workplace would be on the 16th floor.

Wu Bin was a little nervous when he found out that he was on the sa level as Boss Pei’s office. He would be working under the nose of the boss so he could not be sloppy.

Tengda was still a mystery in Wu Bin’s eyes so far. It was impossible to guess what it was.

The information that Wu Bin learned about Tengda was all hearsay. There were many outrageous claims in it so the credibility was not very high. He did not learn much from the written exam and the interview.

However, Wu Bin guessed that Tengda would probably pay more attention to spiritual building Why would there be a Tengda Spirit compatibility test’ otherwise?

Wu Bin had successfully passed the written exam and the interview and had officially entered the job. However, according to the process, he had to undergo three Tengda Spirit compatibility tests within a month.

He could only beco a full-ti employee only if he passed these tests. Otherwise, it would all be for naught.

Therefore, Wu Bin had ntally prepared in advance that in addition to working hard to win the approval of his colleagues and Boss Pei, he would have to truly understand what the Tengda spirit really ant in his first month of joining.

The pretty front desk lady gave Wu Bin a new employee handbook after he explained his intention. She then led him to the HR departnt to report to Hao Yun.

Hao Yun led Wu Bin to his workstation after expressing his welco. He then got the administrative departnt to co over to grant him intranet permissions, arrange TPDb website accounts, and so on. During this period, Wu Bin sat on the office chair and began reading the new Employee’s Handbook, hoping to find so information relating to Tengda spirit on it. This new handbook was custom-made by the administrative departnt recently. It had also been reviewed by Boss Pei. There were no such items for employees previously because Tengda was at a relatively small scale by then. The on-boarding process was relatively simple so there was no need for these fanciful things.

It was different now. Employees joined in batches so there were many things to pay attention to. Penning it all down in the Employee’s Handbook would help the newcors integrate into the work environnt faster.

Wu Bin looked through the Employee’s Handbook and found that it was basically divided into several categories. It also talked about the precautions after entering the job.

The first large category was related to lifestyle, including advice on daily life, clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

For example, the company would uniformly order from Fish-Catching Take-Out for daily als. There were comnts on the dishes inside. In short, they were all delicious depending on personal taste.

There were subsidies for house rental and daily travel. The subsidies were very high. The specific amount, subsidy thod, reimbursent process, etc. were all clearly written.

Wu Bin was drooling as he looked at the work al on the handbook.

“Such good work als, all free?

“Full reimbursent for taxis with a mandatory monthly reimbursent limit? I can use this money to buy anything related to work?

“There are gym benefits and private training sessions for every employee?

“These… these benefits are too good…”

Wu Bin was so excited that he continued flipping

The second category was entertainnt which mainly included various leisure and entertainnt facilities on the company’s side.

For example, a variety of coffee and beverages in the pantry, various snacks in the snack area, fitness equipnt, and recreation rooms could be used freely without restrictions.

Wu Bin couldn’t help but sigh. “This might be image building, but it is not easy to do it with such care.”

Wu Bin had always felt that building gyms and recreation rooms in the company were nothing more but a ans to attract employees to work overti.

It would just sound nicer if ntioned blatantly.

‘Our company has prepared a gym and recreation room for our employees.’ Such bluffs were very suitable to deceive fresh graduates or those who had not been in the working environnt for long.

That was because most of the gyms and recreation rooms could only be used after work hours.

If they could only use it after work hours, wasn’t that just a covert trick for overti?

Moreover, when it ca to working overti, the entire project team would be imrsed in work. Wouldn’t you be embarrassed if you went to the gas room to play?

Therefore, most of the companies prepared these to build their images. The symbolic aning was greater than its actual value.

Wu Bin continued flipping to the next page. This page was a note to the previous page. Wu Bin originally thought that it would say ‘please do not go to the recreation room during working hours’, but that was not the case at all!

It was clearly stated: ‘Each employee must use four hours of fitness facilities or recreation room every week and strive to achieve work-life balance.’

‘Note: Please do not use the gym or recreation room during non-working hours. Please go ho imdiately after work.’

Wu Bin felt a little giddy. The words were similar to what he had anticipated, but there was an additional ‘non-‘ in front of ‘working hours’.

The aning had changed completely! Other companies were all about not using their gyms and recreation rooms during working hours, but Tengda was completely reversed in this case!

Did that an they could only play during working hours?

Wu Bin almost thought that the employee handbook printed it wrongly, but after thinking through, they shouldn’t make such a low-level mistake, right?

He was a little confused. He could only continue reading with confusion.

The third category was about work.

Other companies often put this category as the first, but Tengda was the exact opposite. They put it as the last, occupying only the last few pages of the employee handbook. The description was quite brief.

The life category provided not only beautiful color photos of various work als but also introduced the taste of each dish in detail. It could not be any more detailed.

The sa went for the entertainnt category. They had even introduced the various gas in the gas room with so simple reviews.

However, the style changed completely when it ca to the work category.

There were only a few simple notes.

‘Overti is prohibited in principle.’

‘If there is a need to work overti due to work, you’ll have to report to the person-in-charge of the departnt. The in-charge will apply for an overti quota and can only work overti when this application is approved.’

“Report to the person-in-charge of the departnt imdiately if you feel work pressure. They will recruit new employees as soon as possible.’

‘It’s strictly forbidden to contact colleagues for work reasons during non-working hours as it will cause trouble to your colleagues.’

The other comnts were similar to the above.

Wu Bin’s head was spinning.

The contents were basically pointing to the sa point: no overti! The content that Wu Bin was expecting did not appear at all!

For example, work arranged by the in-charge had to be completed on schedule or colleagues cannot shrink on their responsibilities…

There were no such sayings at all!

Wu Bin thought that it could be further behind, but he turned the page over only to find that the new employee handbook was done!

What about the explanation of the Tengda spirit that he anticipated?

What about the hundred expected employee codes?

Nothing!

He closed the handbook, rembering nothing but the delicious als and various benefits.

Wu Bin felt lost, vaguely feeling if there was sothing wrong sowhere.
