Chapter 521 Staff Number Allocation
Even large factories with a thousand employees, such as those with women's federations, typically have three to five staff members.

The main factor is the percentage of female employees.

For example, Lin'an Machinery Factory was a large factory with 10,000 employees. Director Lin was also a famous director of the Women's Federation, with about 40 Women's Federation staff under her. Later, because she needed to take her team to perform in various places, the number of staff expanded to an astonishing 64.

For example, in a sportswear factory with a thousand employees, that would be three to five.

Shen Weihong's application is perfectly reasonable.

Chen Qing: "My personal suggestion is that we could apply for a male colleague to handle the domestic violence case."

This suggestion was simply something Chen Qing mentioned because he thought Director Lin's approach was excellent.

Because the women's federation at the machinery factory had a burly man who specialized in handling domestic violence cases.

Shen Weihong immediately nodded: "Okay, then I'll have three female comrades and one male comrade."

Chen Qing asked, "Does anyone else have any opinions?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Decisions regarding positions within the Women's Federation are the easiest to make; a show of hands is all it takes for unanimous approval.

Next, the directors of the three workshops began applying for employee ratios.

The three women were initially sitting very upright, but when their own interests were involved, their posture changed, especially the head of the sewing workshop, who said, "Our sewing workshop is of paramount importance; we need at least 650 people!"

This statement immediately sparked an argument among the audience.

Because the adjustment work requires about 100 people, and the cutting, warehousing, ironing, and machine repair are all places that need a lot of workers, if everyone is divided up to more than 900 people, the sewing workshop will instantly take up two-thirds of the space. Who can be satisfied?

In order to ensure the completion of the mission, the five people immediately started arguing heatedly.

Wei Jianping mediated: "Let's talk things out calmly, don't rush things."

"If this isn't urgent, then what is? We have millions of orders that need to be completed quickly. If we don't have enough people, how will we finish the task!"

"That's right, even if the sky falls, we still need 150 people in our cutting workshop."

"You're dreaming! If you need 150 people, what will we mechanics do?!"

"The ironing workshop also needs a hundred people!"

The department heads were red-faced and angry, and the logistics director, who was trying to get staff for the warehouse, was ostracized.

Because packaging was not taken seriously, Qin Qiuhe, the logistics director, immediately complained to Chen Qing: "Comrade Chen, look at these people! They don't care about logistics at all. Packaging is very important for our sportswear factory, but they don't care at all!"

The four people arguing: "!!!"

Let them argue if they want.

This person actually dared to badmouth me to my face!
Chen Qing said, “Logistics does need to be taken seriously. You need to manage imported and exported goods, as well as packaging and other matters, but you’re trying to get eighty people, which is too many.”

Qin Qiuhe immediately chimed in, "You're right, is fifty enough? We'll definitely need about ten junior staff in the logistics department to handle miscellaneous tasks, six to inspect the goods, thirty to pack them, and then there are the workers to move the goods..."

"The number of workers doing packaging and miscellaneous tasks can be reduced," Chen Qing reminded again.

Packaging workers in other garment factories can handle two to three hundred pieces of clothing, but the packaging in sportswear factories is more rigorous, so an estimated one to two hundred pieces is about right.

Qin Qiuhe hardened her heart and said, "Forty-five people, this really can't be any less."

"Let's vote by raising our hands."

If a show of hands is required, it means that Chen Qing personally agrees. If Chen Qing agrees, then there is basically no problem.

The number of employees in the logistics, women's federation, factory committee, and finance departments was quickly finalized.

Only frontline positions remain.

Cutting, sewing, ironing, and machine repair.

The department with the fewest personnel needs is machine repair, with the foreman requiring fifty people to ensure the machines run non-stop.

Chen Qing frowned slightly. The machine repair department of the Third Garment Factory had as many as 106 people.

This is because the machine repair department is a hub for connections; the wages are high, and there's a chance to be transferred to more important positions, and sometimes even to skim some extra cash. Chen Qing: "As far as I know, machine problems in garment factories are basically just changing needles, oiling, and adjusting thread tension. What's the point of having so many people?"

The head of the maintenance team, Tie Xinlan, was taken aback.

Everyone turned to look at Tie Xinlan.

Tie Xinlan gritted her teeth.

She admitted.

She's a bit vain.

When you're about to take over a department, you want more people; the more people you have under you, the more prestigious you feel.

However, she also considered production, so compared to other large factories, she has already cut the number of people in the machine repair department in half.

Why doesn't the factory manager agree yet?
Chen Qing tapped the table, his expression cold: "Tell me about the uses of the machine repair department."

"Comrade Chen, what do you think is a suitable amount?"

“I personally don’t understand machines, but I used to be the director of the factory committee in the machinery factory and I have worked with the people in the technical department. When there are problems in the workshop and they are needed, they tend to drag things out. A small matter can easily be blown out of proportion and take a whole day to complete. I hope Comrade Tie will not engage in vanity projects.”

"I do not have……"

"Then tell me in detail what exactly fifty people will be used for."

Chen Qing looked at her quietly.

Tie Xinlan was already thirty-seven years old. Chen Qing's gaze made her heart race, and she explained, "Our garment factory's equipment needs maintenance, parts need to be controlled, and also, since our garment factory is a large factory, the electricity issue is also under the jurisdiction of our machine repair department."

"So how many people do you think would be suitable?"

"Seventeen mechanics, three spare parts managers, and five electricians, totaling twenty-five people."

This is what Tie Xinlan personally considers the effect of compression to the extreme.

The equipment in the garment factory breaks down very easily; there's always something wrong with this or that. We don't have enough staff, so we simply can't keep up with the workload.

Chen Qing: "Let's vote by raising our hands."

Wei Dajiang watched them discuss matters, and it was entirely Chen Qing's one-man show.

Chen Qing said no.

There was no voting process involving a show of hands.

Chen Qing agreed.

Everyone raised their hands in unison.

This is not democratic at all!
Wei Dajiang said, "Comrade Chen, if you don't mention a show of hands, they don't even have the right to vote. Your behavior is completely contrary to the workers' right to autonomy."

Wei Jianping was instantly drenched in sweat.

His son was standing perfectly fine, what was he saying?
The meeting room fell silent instantly.

Chen Qing looked at him in surprise.

Based on her work experience and the secretaries she has met, secretaries are generally important figures who plan ahead for their superiors, handle all the trivial matters, save their superiors time, and allow them to focus more on important matters.

As a secretary, one should not cause trouble or create chaos.

This is of utmost importance!
Perhaps a meticulous and insightful secretary can help a leader with a lot of preliminary work and even make important decisions, but such a person is hard to come by.

Chen Qing doesn't have high requirements for her secretary, and Wei Dajiang isn't even her secretary. She originally didn't bother with him, but isn't this a bit strange now?

"Since you think it's inappropriate, why don't you report it?"

Wei Dajiang, filled with righteous indignation and displaying the spirit of a young man who would rather die than submit, declared: "I definitely will."

"Then you can go." Chen Qing withdrew his gaze: "The meeting continues. Comrade Wei, please take care of your matters before we have a proper chat."
