You're Fired !

Song Kang also finally reacted at this time, and he could barely resist rushing to Jungkook, “How could you do this? How could you?” He looked at the personnel director with wide teary eyes, “General Manager Han, during all these years of ups and downs, when did Simon Paper not rely on us, old employees, to carry it down together? And now you’re treating us like this?”

Song Kang’s emotions were completely out of control, after pulling the collar of the personnel director, he rushed to Sujin, “Lawyer Kim? Didn’t you say to me that this case was a sure win? Now what? What’s the situation now!”

Sujin was shocked and habitually took a step back. She avoided Song Kang in disgust and tried to calm down, “Isn’t this proposal quite good? Didn’t you complain to me that it was difficult to find a job at your age? Now that the company has shut down production, they are still willing to support and pay you without letting you work, isn’t that quite good? Isn’t this the same as you lying at home and counting your money?”

Sujin really has no idea about the actual life of workers.

Lisa gave her a look, “At this time, don’t talk coldly. Can these older employees support their families with 2,480 yuan a month? Are they thinking about making such a small amount of money lying down? What they want is not money, but job opportunities! It is an opportunity to get a normal salary!”

Song Kang almost collapsed, his lips trembling as he said, “I just bought a house and have a mortgage of 4,000 a month. With this salary of less than 2,500 a month, I can’t even afford to pay the mortgage ……”

Lisa rubbed her brow and frowned at Jungkook, “This method of yours is really too chickenshit.”

Jungkook did not look ashamed as he shrugged his shoulders, “So am I breaking the law?”

Naturally, it was not illegal. Jungkook’s operation can be said to be completely within the limits of the law. He completed the siege of old employees like Song Kang and shut down the production process. It sounds very good. Lying at home, you can get money every month and have a happy life. However, these old employees of Simon Paper, each of them were raising their family on this salary as they were the main labor force in their respective families. Most of them have more or less the same mortgage as Song Kang, and some of them also have the responsibility to raise a child. The pressure of life was not small, and they can’t lie down and enjoy this 2,480 yuan.

With Jungkook’s move, it was obviously impossible for Simon Paper to resume production after one or two months of shutdown. Recently the paper industry was suffering from setbacks. The cost of raw materials has increased, along with the legal requirements for environmental protection. For every batch of products produced, the paper industry needs to discharge a large amount of sewage. Not only does it require expensive purification and treatment, but they also often have to pay excessive fines for exceeding the standards. Not only can they not make a profit, but they also lose money.

Most of the companies, when they shut down their production line still have huge expense burn to bear such as expensive factory rents. Under consideration, it was usually better to directly dismiss workers and pay economic compensation. However, Simon Paper does not have these worries. Because in the early years when Simon Paper was founded in A city, they bought the land and built their factory themselves. At that time, the land price was still cheap. In the past few years, when the paper industry was in good condition, this cost was already earned back. Therefore, the shutdown for a period of time will not have much impact on Simon Paper at all.

However, old employees like Song Kang couldn’t bear to stop work for a few months and only take the minimum wage. In the end, they were bound to be unable to afford it. As a result, they would have to take the initiative to terminate their employment contracts with Simon Paper, and there would be no financial compensation or indemnity for employees who resigned themselves.
