Once you ask these people to work overtime, they're sure to make trouble, or even resign.
Double pay won't do either.
So, recruiting the right people is very difficult.
Ma Lin said, "If they don't want to work overtime, don't make them. We can hire more staff and lower the base salary a bit, can't we?"
"They will be very dissatisfied, thinking the salary we offer is lower than what the developed areas provide."
"But this isn't a developed area, and they haven't undergone systematic training. Their professional quality doesn't match such high wages."
Zhu Sanmao said, "They would rather be jobless than accept the wage standards we set. That's why it's so poor here, people are lazy and bad by nature and that leads to poverty."
Ma Lin said, "Don't talk like that. I've seen people working as porters on the street, earning only ten yuan an hour without complaint. So these people are just being obstinate, when in fact they are quite resilient and hardworking."
