Chapter 1 Getting fired at the beginning


Chapter 1: Being fired at the beginning

Rongcheng.

It is the beginning of another new week. Xu Ran, the director of the human resources department of Beifeng Pharmaceutical, is sitting in the office, holding an employee information form and scanning it carefully.

"Zhang Yang, male, second-level drug researcher in the R&D Technology Department."

"In the past two years, he has participated in the company's key generic drugs 'eltrombopag' and 'tenofovir alafenamide' ''s process improvement and excellent professional capabilities have been unanimously recognized by the R&D team leader and colleagues. ”

"...I have been employed for four years and eight months, with no record of absenteeism, tardiness, or early departure. I have only had one personal leave and one sick leave within four years. The overall actual attendance rate is 99.2%."

"...The relationship with colleagues is also good. He is relatively harmonious, and many colleagues commented that he is friendly and helpful. ”
"In general, this employee has outstanding professional ability, dedicated work, and calm personality. He is an excellent drug researcher. He may even become the company's R&D backbone in the future. It is recommended to focus on training..."

After reading the employee information form in his hand again, Xu Ran frowned slightly.

After a while, she put down the information form with some regret, and moved her eyes to another document that had just been issued by the "General Manager's Office".

The name of the file is - "Beifeng Pharmaceutical's second batch of employee optimization list."

The optimization list is actually a euphemism for the company's layoffs, and on the first column of the list is printed -

Zhang Yang of the R&D Technology Department.

......

Half an hour later, a young-faced man gently knocked on the office door, and after getting permission, walked into the office.

"Mr. Xu, I heard Director Li said that you were looking for me... I just had an experiment in hand at a critical moment, so I was delayed for a while. I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

As soon as I entered the door. , the young man explained a little apologetically.

He was wearing light blue work clothes, and his short short hair must have been cut recently. He looked very energetic. With his handsome and sunny appearance, he looked quite refreshing at the moment.

"It's okay, please sit down first."

"How are you doing at work recently? Are you busy?"

"I'm fine these days..."

Zhang Yang sat up straighter slightly.

“Some time ago, our team worked overtime for several months and finally succeeded in replicating the chemical crystal form of 'Eltrombopag'..."

"Now the sample has been submitted to the pilot test The workshop is engaged in small-scale mass production, so it is rare to have some free time during this period."

As he spoke, a relaxed smile appeared on his face:

"By the way, Mr. Xu, what do you want from me?"

Looking at Zhang Yang's relaxed smile, Xu Ran didn't show a trace of emotion on his face.

As the head of the human resources department, she has seen and even dismissed many older employees who are better and have higher positions than Zhang Yang.

"Since you asked directly, I won't beat around the bush."

Xu Ran went directly to the topic.

"I don't know if you have heard some rumors recently...such as the company's layoff plan this year."

"Now the second batch of layoff lists has been determined. Unfortunately, you happen to be on the layoff list."

Huh?

Layoffs? !

Zhang Yang was stunned and couldn't react for a while.

Of course he had heard some gossip in daily life, but he had never thought of it himself.

More than four years ago, he entered the company after graduating from graduate school.

Over the years, I have been working hard and willing to work as a cow horse. Whenever I need to work overtime, I am always the first to sign up.

Even if I occasionally catch a cold or have a fever in the past few years, I still grit my teeth and persevere, just for fear of affecting the company's research and development process.

But now...

Layoffs?

“Why?!”

Xu Ran did not answer directly.

As the head of the human resources department of Beifeng Pharmaceutical, she naturally knows some of the thoughts of the senior management.

To put it simply, reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Five years ago, Chinese officials began to vigorously support the "biopharmaceutical industry." At that time, domestic talents were scarce and there was a huge gap in pharmaceutical professionals. Fresh graduates from non-prestigious universities like Zhang Yang also received an annual salary of 180,000.

But in recent years, as more and more graduates have poured into the market, the entire recruitment market has declined. Not to mention ordinary universities, even master's students in 985 and 211 can only get 15 Ten thousand annual salary.

Zhang Yang’s salary was high when he signed the contract. In addition, his salary has increased a lot after participating in several projects in recent years. His current annual salary has reached 220,000.

The senior management will naturally feel that it is not worth it.

However, this is only one of the reasons.

According to her understanding, the most important reason was that the senior management was preparing to promote his cronies to take his place.

“There is no reason.”

Xu Ran said calmly:

“The list this time was collectively finalized by the company’s senior management, and it naturally has the company’s considerations; in fact, not only It’s you, and several equally outstanding employees have been included in the list this time.”

“So... I hope you can understand.”

Zhang Yang fell silent, feeling the coldness and ruthlessness of the company for the first time.

Two minutes later, he took a deep breath and accepted this fact angrily and helplessly.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, since it is the decision of the top management, I have nothing to say, let's talk about severance compensation."

"No problem."

Xu Ran is very He simply handed over the "Severance Compensation Agreement" prepared on the coffee table, and then turned to the last page.

"This is your compensation amount." "According to the company's compensation standard, the total is thirty-six thousand yuan."

Thirty-six thousand yuan?

Zhang Yang was watching, stunned.

If he remembers correctly,

According to the labor law, when an enterprise fires employees, the minimum compensation standard should be N+1.

It has been four years and eight months since he joined Beifeng Pharmaceutical. Calculated based on five years, he should be compensated with six months' salary, totaling 110,000 yuan.

And the current compensation is only thirty-six thousand yuan? !

“Mr. Xu, I’m afraid this amount is wrong?”

“According to the labor law, I should get at least six months’ compensation, so it should be at least 110,000 yuan, right? ?”

Xu Ran was not surprised and did not even deny it.

She nodded and said:

"You are right, according to the labor law, it is true."

"But, you may not know, the labor law also allows employers to Compensation is negotiated with the workers.”

“The compensation agreement you have in your hand is the company’s unified compensation agreement, and all employees use this standard. You can’t make it special, right?” >


"Then I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, I can't accept this plan and I won't sign it."

Zhang Yang refused directly.

This time Xu Ran was not in a hurry to continue talking.

After about ten seconds of silence, she looked at Zhang Yang again and said calmly:

"No problem, I understand your mood."

"If you don't want to sign, there's no problem if you go through the legal process. After all, it's your right."

"But... you have to think clearly. The industry circle of pharmaceutical companies is very small, and you don't have any problem." You don’t want to hear anything unpleasant when your new employer does a ‘background investigation’ in the future, right?”

When the words fell, Zhang Yang was stunned.

After a moment, the fire of anger surged into my heart.

“Are you threatening me?”

"It's not a threat. We are all adults and will always pay the corresponding price for our decisions."

"That's it for now. Think about it carefully and give me a clear answer before tomorrow morning. . ”

“But... let me remind you, if you decide not to sign, you will have to contact the legal team next time. ”

Walk out of the office. Zhang Yang's face was ashen and his hands and feet were cold.

He didn't expect that the company he had worked for for more than four years would suddenly fire him, let alone threaten him in such a despicable way!

But what’s even more uncomfortable is that, after calming down, he must also carefully consider the company’s threats.

Sign it?

Zhang Yang shook his head unwillingly.

Signing it means giving up the hard-earned money you deserve in humiliation!

Then don’t sign!

But as soon as the thought came to his mind, he suddenly turned pale.

If you don’t sign or say “background check”, will it affect your future career prospects? Once labor arbitration is conducted, can you really afford it?

The other party has a professional legal team, but he is alone and has to bear high monthly mortgage and car loans to survive!

Can’t afford it!

I can’t afford to delay it at all!

Then...

Can we just bow our heads?

Zhang Yang suddenly stopped and stood in the familiar employee corridor.

Next second.

"Bang!"

He kicked the cold wall hard!

I have no choice!

The dull voice immediately attracted the attention of several nearby colleagues, who all looked over with surprise.

At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded.

[Congratulations to the host for activating the "Medicine Life Simulator". 】

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and saw a light blue translucent light curtain slowly appearing in front of his eyes, and then subtitles appeared on the light screen one after another.

【Welcome to the Medical Life Simulator. 】

【This simulator is designed to promote the development of human medicine. The host can obtain drug results through simulation and benefit mankind; it has already intercepted key nodes in major medical development. 】

【This simulator consumes 1 energy point for each simulation, current energy value: 3 points】

[Each simulation can obtain a different number of energy values ​​based on the results. Please ensure that the energy value is sufficient. If the energy value is cleared to zero, the simulator will start a self-destruction program. 】

【Currently, the node that can be simulated is: Novice mission - ‘Blood Sorrow’. 】

Zhang Yang stared blankly at the floating letters, his heart already in turmoil as if it had been swept by a hurricane.

This is, golden finger?
