The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 22
The "regular storm meeting" is mainly to stimulate the enthusiasm of employees, adjust the mentality of employees, and let employees devote themselves to work with full passion and work happily.

Let employees feel the strength of the team, find ways to solve difficulties, instead of worrying about it.At the same time, it reduces the pressure on managers and makes the enterprise standardized and orderly.

The regular storm meeting is usually held in the morning, with background music playing in the hall, and the employees gather as soon as possible after hearing the music, and the whole team counts.Then turn left and turn right, organize the formation, spread out, and start doing shop exercises.

After the store exercises, organize the team, hold a departmental morning meeting, and shout exciting slogans at the end of the morning meeting, so that employees are full of passion and fighting spirit, and quickly enter the working state.

Since [-], many restaurants have done this.

Of course, there are good ones and bad ones.Good employees are willing to participate and are motivated; bad ones are metaphysical, disgusting, and suspected of brainwashing.

According to news reports, some companies have developed a culture of gratitude, and through situational teaching, employees are grateful to their parents and bosses.The form was a bit out of line, and the employees knelt down and shouted: Thank the boss for working for me, and thank the boss for providing a platform.

Thanks to the boss, there is nothing wrong with it, but using the highest and most pious etiquette of human beings-kneeling, is a bit of a show.

Some restaurants organize managers to wash the feet of employees, tell them that they have worked hard, and move the employees to tears.

Some restaurants invite the parents of the employees, and the management personnel bow down to them vigorously, which moves the parents to tears, and then tells their children to work hard in the restaurant, to be worthy of the boss and the management personnel.

These phenomena cannot be said to be good or bad. The benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

At the beginning of the new century, the catering industry is in a period of transition from a traditional model to a new model, and any emerging phenomenon can be understood.This is the same as when the reform and opening up was first started. No one knows whether it is good or bad, only after experiencing it.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

These phenomena come from various training institutions.

The boss is trained first, and then the managers are trained. From my personal point of view, these trainings are all suspected of brainwashing.

In a specific closed environment, with heart-wrenching background music played, the lecturer speaks slowly in a language full of emotions, which often makes people cry, deeply moved, and soul-shocking.

The trainees returned to their jobs full of energy, no one but me, and personally led the employees to work as hard as themselves, and thanked the boss.

Filial piety and gratitude are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. It is absolutely correct to use it to educate and influence people, but don't go astray.

A restaurant is in good business, and the boss gives the employees a stable job and generous remuneration, all of which are reciprocal.Without the hard work of the employees, the business will not be good, and the boss will not make money.

It is only natural for the boss to pay wages on time.

It is a bit far-fetched to say that the employees in the news report are grateful to the boss and kneel on the ground to say hello to the boss.

Lao Tan once asked the manager of this catering industry, if the company is losing money and cannot pay wages, should the boss stand in front of the employees and let the employees point their noses and scold them?

As the saying goes, if you have a lot of money, you don't bring it out to work.Most of the restaurant workers are children from rural areas. Their families are not well-off, they have little education, and they come out because they have no way out at home.

Although the families born in the [-]s and [-]s are not so difficult, and they can’t starve to death if they don’t come out, they are definitely not rich and wealthy families, and they wouldn’t come out if they did.

Zhang Li said that he wanted to shout slogans, and Lao Tan did not object. What kind of slogans did he think were suitable for employees to shout.

Incentive-based slogans are fine, not brainwashing.Employees come to the restaurant hoping to have a stable job, to earn money steadily, to learn some crafts, so that they can support themselves in the future.This is going to be like other restaurants that give the staff blood, and the whole eyes are small, the head is small, the eagle beak and duck claws, if they can eat or not, then it will be useless.

Slogans must be practical, what you think in your heart, tangible and visible, and can really play a role in motivating and promoting.

From myself to others, I can’t help but think of my 16 years of part-time work experience——
These kids were me back then.

After sending Zhang Li home, Lao Tan walked home slowly, thinking about the slogan all the time.After entering the entrance of the building, my thoughts immediately jumped out of thinking about slogans. Thinking of my son's return today, I couldn't help being excited and joyful.

Open the door, lightly turn on the light, and the son is sleeping soundly beside Lin Yan.

Walking closer, seeing his son's slightly flushed face in deep sleep, he couldn't help but bend down and kiss him.

Lin Yan glanced at Lao Tan with her fluffy sleepy eyes, and said, "Be quiet, don't wake the child up."

Old Tan nodded, walked lightly to the outer room to wash his face and brush his teeth, then went back to the room, took off his clothes, turned off the lights and lay down.

I was a little refreshed after washing, and couldn't fall asleep immediately. I looked at my sleeping son with the light from the window, and thought a lot.

The little guy is five years old and has two more years to go to school.When he was in school, he said he had to buy a house. Now children have been comparing each other since they were young, comparing food, clothing, parents, and whose house is bigger.I don't have much ability, I'm just a cook, and I can't compare with those parents who are officials and bosses, but the house must have it.

Ah, life is so great and so wonderful.This cute little guy is the continuation of his own life, and he calls himself Dad.Dad, what a sacred and proud title, for nothing else, you have to work hard for this title and work hard for a future.

I grew up without a father, and a child without father's love will always have a regretful defect. I can't make my son the same as myself, and I have to give him all the father's love.
-
Gradually, my thoughts returned to the slogan.

When I was in school, "Study hard and make progress every day" was pasted on the blackboard. It was simple, clear, easy to understand, and very correct.The slogan should look something like this.

There are three headings listed in the head.

The first is goals.

The second is attitude.

The third is style.

People must have goals in life, and they must have goals in everything they do. This is the direction.

Attitude determines everything, whether it is a person or a life, you need a positive attitude.

There must also be a style, which is also a human style of doing things. This needs to be, must be.

Thinking in this way, I gradually got some clues——
Silent night, more than half of the night.

Many people fell asleep, discussing with Zhou Gong with their thoughts during the day, how to make their dreams come true in a world of unrestrained power and unconstrained style.

There are also people who think about things like Lao Tan and can't fall asleep, such as our Zhang Li, who is lying on the bed thinking wildly at this time.

At first, like Lao Tan, she was thinking about slogans, but after thinking about it, she shifted to Lao Tan.

This tormenting man thought he would never see him again in this life.Unexpectedly, they returned to the provincial capital and worked together again.

Is this someone sent by God to torture me——
12 years ago, this man subtly walked into my heart.

Thirty at that time, he was 25.Five years older than him, he has a partner and shouldn't have extravagant thoughts.

But this man was excellent, and he conquered himself with a bandit-like arrogance.Involuntarily fell in love with, and deeply in love with.

Knowing that there will be no result, but it is stupid, like a moth to a flame, without hesitation, tasting the sweetness of secret love and the bitterness of fruitlessness.

Watching him get married silently, saying insincere blessings and enduring heart-piercing pain.

This bastard, bastard old Tan, knew his feelings for him, and had been deliberately avoiding him, even running away.

But if he doesn't run away, leave his former lover and get along with him, maybe he won't love.Just because of his avoidance, he felt that he was a responsible man.

It was the man I wanted, and I fell in love more and more deeply.

Are all women this stupid?

Later, he had a child, and later he went to other places and stepped out of his field of vision.But that love didn't disappear, it was buried deep in my heart and became a memory.

In the five years he was away, he experienced a painful marriage.

Now I want to live alone in peace——
Half of my life has passed, I have experienced everything that should be experienced, and I can see many things clearly.

I have never met a good man in my life.Lao Tan is indeed excellent, but he has a family, so nothing can happen to him.It happened a long time ago. We couldn't be together more than ten years ago, and it's even more impossible now.

Like him, appreciate him, and be a friend for life.Ten years ago, I said that I didn’t even believe it, but now I believe it.

It is said that there is no pure friendship between a man and a woman. If two people are good, there must be that kind of relationship.It's true to say so, but I have been with Lao Tan for more than ten years, and I have surpassed the existence of that relationship, and I am a true friend with him.

I haven't seen him more mature and stable in five years.If he was smart five years ago, he is wise now.

The eyes are deeper, adding to the unique charm of middle-aged men.

Now he is more powerful than before, with a faint master demeanor, I can't keep up with him.

This man looks good.
