After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

The atmosphere at Monday's regular meeting was particularly solemn. Xiang Yu and Yan Jin sat side by side at the head of the conference table, both of them looked a little solemn. It was originally planned to formally announce the details of the reform plan at this meeting and make the next deployment. However, the public opinion that began to ferment last weekend cast a shadow on this meeting.

Department Manager Liu was the first to speak out. He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said sharply, "Boss Yan, I personally think there are still many problems with this reform plan. The new performance appraisal system is too harsh and is not conducive to employee stability and team harmony. Moreover, large-scale department adjustments will also cause chaos within the company and affect normal operations."

Manager Liu's speech was immediately echoed by several other department managers. They all expressed their concerns about the reform plan. Although their words were not as sharp as Manager Liu's, they also revealed obvious resistance.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense. Yan Jin's eyes swept across the people present, his expression calm, but with an invisible pressure.

"Boss Xiang and I understand your concerns." Yan Jin spoke slowly, his tone unhurried, "This reform is to cope with the increasingly fierce market competition, for the long-term development of the company, and to allow every employee to have more room for development in a fair environment."

"But, Mr. Yan, ideals are full of hope, but reality is very skinny." Xiang Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. His eyes were sharp and his tone was a little questioning. "The original intention of the reform plan is good, but when it comes to its implementation, it faces huge resistance. We must face these problems squarely, instead of just avoiding them."

Xiang Yu's words made Yan Jin's heart sink slightly. She knew that Xiang Yu was not really against the reform, but was worried that the reform would have a negative impact on the company.

"Mr. Xiang is right. We do need to re-evaluate the details of the reform plan and minimize the negative impact as much as possible." Yan Jin took a deep breath, his eyes firm, "However, the direction and determination of the reform will not change!"

After the meeting, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin returned to the office. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat dull.

"Do you really think that this reform will succeed?" After a long time, Xiang Yu broke the silence.

"I don't know." Yan Jin shook his head and looked out the window, "But I believe this is the right choice."

The computer screen on the desk suddenly lit up, the icon of the company's internal forum kept flashing, and a new post was pushed to the front page.

“I support reform!”

Xiang Yu and Yan Jin leaned close to the screen at the same time and clicked on the post. The poster was Chen, an employee representative, a young and energetic young man who had worked at the grassroots level of the company for many years and had a deep understanding of the company's development and the needs of employees. Below the post, there were dense replies, most of which were solidarity and support for the reform.

"It seems that we are not fighting alone." A smile appeared on Yan Jin's lips, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

The post by employee representative Chen was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. On the company's internal forum, more and more voices supported the reform. They spontaneously organized themselves to form online discussion groups to share the significance and cases of the reform and offer suggestions for the reform plan. Offline, employee representative Chen also actively worked to organize employees to have face-to-face exchanges, listen to the voices of grassroots employees, compile their concerns and suggestions into a book, and submit it to the management.

In order to resolve the resistance to reform, Yan Jin specially invited professional management consultant Wu, who was experienced in corporate reform. After a period of research and analysis, he proposed a compromise plan, trying to find a balance between the goals of reform and the interests of employees.

However, the compromise plan proposed by consultant Wu did not achieve the expected effect. Manager Liu and others still insisted on their own opinions, believing that the reform would harm their interests and were not buying into the compromise plan. The employees who supported the reform, led by employee representative Chen, believed that the compromise plan was too conservative and could not fundamentally solve the company's existing problems. They hoped for a more thorough reform.

The two sides were deadlocked and the advancement of the reform plan came to a standstill again.

"It seems that successfully completing this reform is more difficult than we thought." Xiang Yu rubbed his eyebrows, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

“When people are united, even Mount Tai can be moved.” Yan Jin looked out the window with a firm gaze. “I believe that as long as we persist in our determination to reform and communicate with our employees honestly, we will be able to find a solution to the problem.”

At this time, there was a knock on the office door and Human Resources Director Zhou walked in with a thick report in his hand.

"Mr. Yan, Mr. Xiang, this is the attitude survey report we conducted on all employees of the company regarding the reform plan..." Human Resources Director Zhou paused, "The survey results show..."

Human Resources Director Zhou took a deep breath and spoke in a heavy tone. "The survey results show that more than 70% of employees support the reform, and the support rate of grassroots employees is as high as over 80%. Among middle and senior management personnel, the proportion of those who support the reform is less than 40%."

After hearing this result, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin did not speak, but their expressions became serious. This survey report undoubtedly confirmed their previous judgment: the resistance to reform mainly came from middle and senior management personnel, who were worried that the reform would affect their own interests, and therefore resisted the reform.

"This report is very valuable, Director Zhou, thank you for your hard work." Yan Jin was the first to break the silence. She took the report and read it carefully. "It seems that we need to take some more effective measures to promote the reform."

"I agree." Xiang Yu nodded, his eyes showing a hint of sharpness, "We can no longer tolerate those who hinder reform."

A few days later, a personnel transfer notice was posted on the company's internal bulletin board: Manager Liu was transferred from his original position for personal reasons and was assigned to another job. At the same time, an open letter signed by Yan Jin was posted on the company's internal forum. In the letter, Yan Jin once again emphasized the necessity and urgency of reform and expressed her determination to promote reform. At the same time, she also called on all employees to unite and overcome the difficulties together.

The news of Liu's transfer was like a thunderclap, causing a huge shock within the company. No one expected Yan Jin to be so swift and decisive as to target the company's veterans. For a time, people in the company were in a panic, and those middle-level managers who had been on the sidelines about the reform also began to re-examine their positions.

In the office, Yan Jin calmly processed documents and turned a deaf ear to the outside world's discussions. She knew that any reform would affect the interests of vested interests and would encounter resistance and challenges. But she knew even more clearly that reform was the only way for the company to develop, and she had to go on without hesitation.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door, and Human Resources Director Zhou walked into the office again with a serious look on his face.

"Boss Yan, something happened..." He handed a document to Yan Jin, "This is..."

Yan Jin took the document and took a look at it, then his face suddenly darkened. At the top of the document, the words "Joint letter requesting to suspend company reform" were written in large letters.

Yan Jin quickly browsed the contents of the document, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. Just as Director Zhou said, "something went wrong." In this joint letter, Manager Liu and several other department managers claimed that the reform plan implemented by Yan Jin was too radical, seriously damaging the interests of the company's middle-level managers, causing panic within the company and seriously affecting the normal work order. They asked the board of directors to immediately stop the reform, restore the original management model, and hold Yan Jin accountable for his decision-making mistakes.

"They are forcing me to abdicate!" Director Zhou couldn't help but growl, his tone filled with anger and worry.

Yan Jin took a deep breath, threw the joint letter back on the table, and sneered, "It seems that they will not give up unless they are serious."

Two days later, the atmosphere in the Xiang Group's boardroom was solemn. Xiang Yu and Yan Jin sat side by side at one side of the conference table, facing several company veterans headed by department manager Liu.

"I think the reform plan proposed by General Manager Yan is too idealistic and out of touch with the actual situation of the company." Department Manager Liu was the first to speak out. He adjusted his glasses and said sharply, "Reform should be carried out step by step, not in a one-size-fits-all manner like it is now. Otherwise, it will only cause chaos within the company and ultimately harm the interests of all employees of the company!"

"I don't think there is anything wrong with the current reform plan." Employee representative Chen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. He represented the voice of the company's grassroots employees. "In fact, grassroots employees are very supportive of the reform because we all see that the company's current management model has many drawbacks and has seriously hindered the company's development."

"You are just a small employee representative, what do you know?!" Manager Liu glanced at him with disdain. "We are the company's veterans who have worked diligently for the company for decades. Don't we see things more clearly than you?!"

"Every word I say represents the voice of the company's grassroots employees." Employee representative Chen met the gaze of department manager Liu without flinching, "We are the backbone of the company's development. We hope that the company can grow stronger than anyone else!"

The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense and the two sides were arguing.

"Enough!" Xiang Yu slammed the table, and his powerful aura instantly shocked everyone. "Reform is imperative. This is my final decision. If you have any opinions about the company, you can raise them directly to me instead of attacking each other here!"

He turned to look at Yan Jin, his eyes firm and gentle, "I believe in President Yan's ability, and I also believe that the reform plan she proposed is most beneficial to the company's development."

Yan Jin looked at Xiang Yu gratefully, then turned to the board members present, her tone calm but full of power, "I understand your concerns, but please believe me, everything I do is for the better development of the company. Reform will inevitably affect the interests of some people, but in the long run, the benefits of reform will far outweigh the immediate losses. I assure you here that I will lead the company to overcome all difficulties, realize the company's transformation and upgrading, and let Xiang Group create greater glory!"

However, just as Yan Jin finished speaking, Manager Liu suddenly stood up with a resolute expression on his face, "If that's the case, then I have nothing more to say." He slammed the document in his hand on the table, "I resign!"
