Chapter 1220 Here Comes the Troublemaker
The so-called different perspectives certainly mean different views. Like William White, the old guy from Dalmore understands this very well.
It is true that the Thanksgiving Day promotion will increase their cost of opening a position. However, when you meet an investor who is so good at playing capital games, what can you complain about and what do you dare to complain about.
Don’t forget, the Amazon stock you currently hold is also increasing in value.
As for the liquidation of positions in the logistics system, let’s continue liquidating the positions. He didn't believe that William White would have no follow-up means. However, this Internet logistics seems not to be underestimated.
Of course it should not be underestimated, but even though a lot of work was done, the sudden freight pressure immediately overwhelmed the entire logistics system.
Well, I could have held on for a while.
Unfortunately, they suffered the legendary force majeure.
Yes, the workers gave up their jobs. Damn it, we work eight hours a day, it’s already very hard, how can we continue to work overtime?
"Asshole, fire all these guys. You don't have to work overtime. I'm not forcing you. If you extend your working hours, you will get extra pay. In addition to overtime pay, there will also be subsidies.
Damn, is this already a conscientious entrepreneur? Who is causing trouble for me? "
"Ahem, boss, it may be more troublesome this time. The Truck Workers Guild, these guys are very difficult to deal with."
Fat Cat Tom was sweating profusely. He didn't dare to do what his boss said. If this breaks out, it may spread across the United States.
The guilds in the United States are difficult to deal with, and William White certainly knows that. If not, why would he insist not to set up a factory in the United States?
Of course, things are not as simple as they appear. As long as there is a guild of some size, there will always be politicians behind it. He didn't believe that a group of muscular men could make such a big splash.
However, these idiots may not realize that they are sending William White a step down.
If you don't launch a sudden strike, my brothers' goods won't be shipped. It's so simple, and it's hard for everyone to have a good time.
"Go back to work immediately, otherwise you will be fired. We support the work of the guild, but it must be reasonable, legal, and orderly. If you cannot return to work within an hour, you will be fired."
"Asshole, you can't force me to work overtime."
"Mr., please be careful with your words. Your words involve personal attacks. I reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility against you.
Let me reiterate, in Internet logistics, overtime work is voluntary, and my client is a socially responsible company. "After saying that, a group of guys in suits and ties left, leaving behind a group of strong and strong men looking at each other. Damn it, if you don't bring such tough people for an hour, there is no sincerity in negotiating at all.
"Ghent, what do you say?"
"Damn it, I don't believe they dare to do this. Besides, there are other companies that support us."
"Carter, Carter, something seems wrong. My wife called just now and said that some shopping website made an announcement.
They may be delayed in deliveries due to a strike by autoworkers. If you have any objections to the delivery time, you can choose to pick it up yourself, and the company will subsidize a certain amount of fuel costs.
If you are still not satisfied, you can also choose to get a refund. "
Damn it, isn't that tough?
With over a billion dollars in sales, if you don’t want to play, you won’t play. Damn it, it has only been three hours since they launched the strike.
"Gent, I can't lose this job, I'm sorry, please forgive me."
"Shit, they must not dare to break up."
"Just wake up, the rumors are true. If you are fired for this reason, you will never be able to enter William White's company again."
It's not like we should all fly away when disaster strikes. At a time when the unemployment rate is rising, it is definitely not a wise move to give up such a decent job.
In fact, they were unreasonable this time.
Yes, there are guilds in the United States, and guilds can also organize strikes. These are all permitted by law.
However, no one tells you that you can do whatever you want.
Just kidding, if the company is shut down for one day, how much loss will it cost. Shouldn't there be a negotiation or two before you launch?
There is no way a sudden attack could be used in this way. Generally speaking, you keep arguing with each other for a few months, and then everyone takes a step back.
The boss does not rely on the company's profits to make a living. As long as you can get by, no one will exploit the workers to death.
The reason is simple, his money is on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq. A certain profit margin can be maintained without the need to borrow too many bank loans. The company's business grows a little every year.
If you do this, you will be a competent professional manager. Some of the following needs can also be met as much as possible. Don't be surprised, most companies in the United States follow this routine.
Obviously, they hit the wrong target this time.
If it were just William White's own business, it wouldn't necessarily need to be so drastic. No big deal, just add some more benefits. To put it bluntly, he, William White, does not live off the profits here.
In other words, this company is already losing money. No matter how much he thanks, it's not his money alone. It's not worth the reputation of being a sweatshop just for this little thing.
Unfortunately, this time we are cooperating with other logistics companies. If you give in here, others will not be able to survive. The United States is already one of the countries with the most expensive labor costs in the world. If wages are increased a little more, it will really be unsustainable.
"Andy, what's the reaction from the outside world? Let the customers get it themselves. How can this guy think of it?"
"Ahem, boss, it seems."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Tell the truth." Damo's old man was angry for a while. Is this really what you are? He has no manliness at all. Damn it, did I cultivate a rabbit? .
"Boss, the response is very dull. Many people have questioned the behavior of the Truck Workers Union.
The general meaning is that since the employer has given high overtime pay and promised a certain amount of meal subsidies, you should not mess around.
Besides, it’s not impossible to go through trouble, so don’t use this lame excuse. The notice from the Internet Express Company is very clear. Workers have the right to refuse to work overtime, and their work content will not be increased. "
"Fuck, I knew this must be a trap. Haven't these idiots noticed that although William White is domineering, he always stands on the moral high ground."
"Yes, the guild has been sued. This guy's domineering attitude is really not nonsense."
"Ahem, don't talk about this. How about Amazon? Are there any large-scale returns?"
"No, they are willing to wait for more time." At this point, the corner of Andy's mouth twitched violently. I thought to myself, these damn guys, this is the Stockholm Syndrome coming back.
The hustle and bustle of the outside world has not affected Amazon's stock surge. This sudden incident tells the world that maybe one day, humans will no longer need to go shopping.
Not only Amazon's stock is rising, eBay is also rising, and Internet-related companies are basically rising.
Online shopping, a novel shopping model, may still have many disadvantages, or it may not become mainstream.
However, there is no doubt that this is a brand new business model. For businessmen, brand new means opportunities. If you can’t do it with Amazon or William White, others may be able to do it.
An obvious fact is that the market does have this demand. This Thanksgiving promotion has stimulated this demand.
