Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 39 Chapter 38: I haven’t met Factory Director Zhang yet, but I don’t want to see him at all

At this check-in, according to this era, the best thing is toffee, which is very expensive. You may not be able to buy it even if you have fructose tickets, because Luo Cheng saw that although the supply and marketing cooperative here has candies, there is no toffee. . You should go to the Friendship Store to buy this.

If liquor were in later generations, it would probably be the most valuable thing in this contract. It would still be a system sign-in product and one of the three nos. The soy sauce comes in a bottle. If you don’t get it by signing in later, this bottle can be used to make soy sauce. Most soy sauce in this era was sold in bulk, so you had to bring your own bottle.

One-size-fits-all cloth shoes, size 40. Yebu knew how this standard of one size came about. Anyway, Luo Cheng was wearing a cloth, so the two sisters must be too big. Luo Bing is shorter than him, and is about the same height as his father Luo Wen, both about 1.7 meters. It should suit both of them. I’ll take it back to see which of them wears it.

What left Luo Cheng speechless the most was that he actually signed in for a dustpan. This was a bamboo product that was still used in some rural areas in later generations, but people in the city basically didn’t use it much. It has many functions and is used in many kitchens for washing rice and the like.

“Comrade, how did you cut this cotton gauze?”

After signing in, Luo Cheng walked directly to the place where cloth was sold. He couldn’t just hang around here because he had to go to the factory later.

“Of course it depends on the size you want. We have lengths ranging from three feet to six feet, it just depends on how wide you want it.”

After hearing this, Luo Cheng understood that three feet is one meter, so he must buy at least one meter long, and the longest is two meters long. Luo Cheng wants a five-foot-long one, which happens to be available here. If you need four and a half feet, you have to buy a five-foot one. The width is not much. The two sisters together only need to be 40 centimeters wide, which is a width of one foot and two. There is a soft ruler for cutting cloth here, and they can cut as much as they want.

The size Luo Cheng wanted was only six feet of cloth in total. Cotton gauze costs one foot and eight cents, and six feet costs four and eight cents. Cotton gauze is a cheap fabric, and the cheapest is a relatively thin white cloth, which costs six cents a foot. And cotton cloth, which is denser than cotton gauze, costs a dime a foot.

One dollar is enough to buy cloth to make clothes yourself, but one dollar is valuable these days, mainly because cloth tickets are difficult to obtain.

After paying the money and the cloth ticket, Luo Cheng left. He had to go to the factory. You should be able to meet the director of the repair shop today. The Human Resources Department said yesterday that he actually came by accident. When the street office called, the director was still there. It happened that I received a call not long ago to repair a car. The level of cars that can be equipped with it these days is not low.

Early this morning, factory director Zhang Lin came to the factory and asked the logistics department to inform the canteen that there was a reception task today. The reception level should be prepared according to the high level.

Generally, factories also have grading assessments. Different factories have different assessment times and times. According to the level, the basic theory is that it will be held at least once a year. Some high-level skill assessments need to be specially organized in many places and will only be held every two years.

One month after the beginning of each year, many factories will conduct the first assessment, which is usually an assessment for apprentices to be promoted to full-time workers. Then in July and August, there will be an intermediate assessment, which is probably an assessment below level six. The highest level for many types of work is level nine, and those above level six are actually senior technical workers.

In auto repair shops, the highest level for car mechanics is level eight, level six is ​​considered a senior technician, and levels four and five are intermediate. A repair shop must have a senior repair technician, so grading assessments below the intermediate level can be conducted internally.

To be honest, although the factory director Zhang Lin has not met Luo Cheng yet, he feels a little unkind to him. He knew the content of yesterday’s phone call from the subdistrict office. Luo Cheng must have decided to get a salary as a fourth-level repairman because he had a high school degree and was a veteran.

In other factories, the treatment of a reserve cadre would not be excessive. But this is a car repair shop, at the provincial enterprise level. The salary is already higher than that of workers in other factories. The salary of a fourth-level repairman is almost the salary of a regular college student.

The Human Resources Department is only willing to provide third-level staff, which takes many factors into consideration. Because of such an incident, the sub-district office took the matter directly to the veterans who were about to join the work.

Now that there is such a situation where expatriates are assigned to conduct assessments, if the people at the sub-district office are kinder, then this kind of thing will not happen. Their automobile factory can conduct internal assessments themselves and give the new comers a level 4 assessment. It’s nothing, it just takes a little effort.

Factory director Zhang Lin was angry at the thought of transferring external assessors, but after all, the people who came to assess Luo Cheng were innocent. He still has to do his reception work well, but he is just guessing who will be sent to do the assessment work and what level it will be. But according to what was said on the phone yesterday, Luo Cheng would probably have received a Level 4 assessment at most. If it were more advanced, the sub-district office would not propose a Level 4 assessment for him.

For the assessment of Level 4, the most people who come are Level 5, because multiple people with the same Level 4 can assess Level 4. For a single assessment, the assessor is required to be one level higher than the assessment level.

“If someone comes today, just meet him and ask Lao Li to receive him.”

Zhang Lin thought in his heart that after being a factory director for several years, he would be able to put on some airs. If someone with a lower level met him, it would be polite, so why should he, the factory director, accompany him.

In fact, if Zhang Lin had either his household registration or was a local here, he wouldn’t have wanted to be the factory director at the beginning. Some factories grade employees based on position, while others grade employees based on skills. Auto repair shops are graded according to skill levels. Otherwise, they are officially labeled as provincial enterprises. A factory director only gets the salary of a level 6 repair technician. Of course, being a factory director comes with additional subsidies and the like.

Like those textile factories, steel factories, clothing factories, etc., if the scale and number of employees are large and meet the standards of provincial enterprises, the position of factory director will be higher, and the salary and benefits are several times that of Zhang Lin.

But for those actual provincial enterprises, the factory employees basically have thousands of people, and there are many kinds of affairs. It is difficult for people without real management ability and means to be competent.

As for the auto repair shop, the formal staff, including personnel, publicity, organization, post-production, canteen, etc., add up to less than half a hundred. There are no production tasks from above, and there is no need to go to the grassroots level. You can become a manager with a little prestige. When the Ngee Ann Repair Shop was established, Zhang Lin was the only sixth-level repairman. No one had any objections to anyone who had more prestige than him and elected him to be the factory director.

(In the eight-level work system, many workers’ lifelong goal is to succeed in the eighth-level work, and they are not willing to waste time on management)
