The company has a new clerk, a single mother, with a monthly salary of 3,500. She often brings her child to the office when working overtime. Yesterday, the child accidentally broke a male colleague's 880 action figure, and the male colleague slapped the child. The boss's action was very pleasing and fair.
When seeing this scene, colleagues in the company were all shocked. A 30-year-old man actually hit a child. The child's mother rushed over crying and held the crying child in her arms.
The male colleague said aggrievedly: "I just told her not to play here, it's annoying, but she still wanted to stay here. As a result, I went to the bathroom and she took my action figure and played with it. I spent 880 yuan to buy this action figure."
It turned out that the male colleague had just finished using the bathroom and saw the little girl holding his figurine. In panic, he wanted to put the figurine back, but accidentally dropped it to the ground.
The figurine was broken at that time, and the little girl was also scared. She was about to find her mother, but was caught by the male colleague. The male colleague was also angry at the time and slapped the little girl directly.
When other colleagues saw this, they wanted to stop it but it was too late.
The clerk held the crying child and said with red eyes: "I don't want to bring my child to the company, but the company has to work overtime on weekends, so I can't do anything. If the child does something wrong, you can tell me directly and I will discipline her. If she damages your things, I can compensate you for the amount, but you are an adult, how can you hit a child?"
The male colleague said, "She is a naughty child. It is only parents like you who spoil her. She is still young now. What she broke was my figurine. When she grows up, who knows what else she will break. Will you be able to pay for it then?"
The clerk said, "Let's just talk about the facts. Why are you taking it so far? Why don't you just say that you have no humanity and even beat a child? Is there anything you can't do? I'll compensate you for the 880 yuan for this figurine, but what about you beating my daughter?"
The boss got the news in the office and rushed out. After understanding it, the boss said, "Everyone works overtime in the company on weekends, so it's not that formal. It's not the first time that they bring their children here. Since there are children here, we have to be careful."
The boss said to the male colleague, "Since you don't like children touching your figurines, and children are ignorant and can't control their hands, then you should put them away. If you didn't put them away and they were broken, then find a way to solve the problem. I tell you, if you hit a child and the clerk calls the police now, you will be suspended for at least 7 days. You are really brave."
When the male colleague heard this, he immediately became nervous.
The boss took the opportunity to say, "The child was wrong, but your slap was even more wrong. I think you need to learn your lesson. You will lose your bonus this month. If you accept it, you can continue to work in the company. If not, you can just leave. The company doesn't need someone like you who has no tolerance at all."
The male colleague had a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, and the benefits of our company were good. He thought about it carefully and agreed to the boss's way of handling the matter. At this time, the boss looked at the clerk and said, "Xiao Chen, if you have any requests, just ask. Xiao Li is an employee of the company after all. The company is also responsible for this matter, and I, as the boss, am also responsible."
The clerk thought for a moment and said, "My daughter did something wrong. I will compensate him for the money he paid for the figurine. But he must apologize to my daughter."
The boss looked at the male colleague. The male colleague thought that his bonus had been deducted anyway, and so many colleagues were watching, so he might as well apologize. He immediately apologized to the little girl.
The clerk also took out his mobile phone and wanted to transfer money to the male colleague. The boss said, "I have already said that this happened in the company, and the company is also responsible. You worked overtime for the company, so the company should naturally bear the responsibility for the child's mistakes."
After saying that, the boss took out 880 and handed it to the male colleague.
The male colleagues and the clerk were very satisfied with the boss's handling of the matter, and the colleagues also felt that it was fair and just, and were very pleased.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the boss didn't suffer any loss in this matter. Moreover, the male colleague's bonus was several thousand yuan, and the boss only paid 880 yuan. So, calculated this way, the boss still made a profit, which is quite like the meaning of "while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits".
Colleagues all said that the boss was very smart and solved the problem without suffering any loss.
What do you think about this? Clerk, clerk's child, male colleague, boss, if you encounter this kind of thing, whose approach do you support?
