Braddock's Town Hall is a slightly fat L-shaped flat-story building, oriented east-west, with the top of the L on the east side. There are two conference rooms, one large and one small, distributed along the middle corridor to the west, on both sides. Along with some offices, the third one ahead of the Redevelopment Bureau is the Public Utilities Bureau.
Outside the police department, the Public Utilities Department is the department with the most employees in the Braddock government, with three full-time employees and the same number of part-time staff subsidized by the finance.
When Wang Lei walked into the Public Utilities Bureau office, the people inside were not as busy as he had seen at the Reconstruction Bureau, but when they looked up and saw him as the new mayor, they still showed hostility, and No one paid attention.
Emily and the others seemed to have left. They were really not suitable here. The place was too small and would affect their work. However, Emily's mother, Donna, saw him. Donna smiled bitterly and leaned back in her chair: "Oh, Rex , you always surprise people.¡±
Donna is the director of the Public Utilities Bureau, but she does not have a separate office here. Instead, like other staff, she enjoys an open office partition.
Wang Lei walked to Donna's partition and smiled at her: "Haha, I'm doing what I think is right, according to our agreement"
"No, no, no, Rex, you're giving me a hard time. You know, I've worked here for a long time, and they all work hard and well." Donna shook her head and pointed to the office again. of other people.
Wang Lei once discussed with Donna that he needs someone to help him handle the daily affairs of the government. This person needs to work full-time, be familiar with government work, and can cooperate well with him. He hoped that Donna could help him and serve as the assistant to the mayor. After some communication, the two reached a consensus on this issue.
But now, it seems that Donna has changed her mind.
Wang Lei knew why. Donna was worried that Wang Lei's plan to abolish the organization would fall on the Public Utilities Bureau. She already had feelings for this place and those staff members, and she didn't want to abandon them at this time and would personally remove them. Cut out.
Wang Lei shrugged, with a playful smile on his face: "Really? In fact, I am also in a dilemma. In my plan, the reorganized town government should provide more and better services to residents, and the Public Utilities Bureau It will be the most important department. If you leave, I don¡¯t know who can take on this responsibility and whether the Public Utilities Bureau can continue to operate well"
"Ah, you mean the Public Utilities Department isn't going to be laid off?" Donna exclaimed in surprise, loud enough for everyone in the small room to hear clearly, and they all looked over eagerly. , wanting to know how Wang Lei would answer.
Wang Lei looked at them and nodded: "Yes, not only will it not be abolished, I also plan to merge some similar functions into a larger public utility bureau."
"Wow, this is really good news." Donna smiled and clapped her hands, then stood up from the chair and said to the others: "You all heard it, the new mayor will not lay off you, we are It¡¯s not something that should be celebrated.¡±
There are three full-time employees and three part-time employees in the Public Utilities Bureau, including Donna. Today, only one part-time employee came. They all cheered: "Mrs. Scott invites you to a buffet for lunch. This news will be even better."
"I think she deserves a treat, because I have appointed her as Braddock's assistant to the mayor on a temporary basis." Wang Lei said with a smile.
"Wow!" The employees of the Public Utilities Bureau cheered again, while Donna looked at Wang Lei dissatisfied: "Rex, I haven't agreed yet"
"You will agree, right? Otherwise I will lay off your people and make you unable to become the director." Wang Lei pointed at the employees and made a joke.
Everyone also saw it. A white woman who seemed cheerful and young made a plea: "Mrs. Scott, please agree. In order to save us suffering people, please agree. "
"Just agree!" When they heard that they would not be laid off, everyone was very happy and started making fun together.
Donna shook her head dumbfounded: "It seems I can't do it even if I don't agree. Rex, I think you can do a great job as the mayor. You see, just a few minutes after you came here, all my subordinates stood beside you. Went over there.¡±
"Haha, as long as everyone can support my work, I will definitely succeed." Wang Lei clenched his fist and waved it in the air.
He has reason to be happy. Because of Donna's relationship, the Public Utilities Bureau may be the department with the best attitude toward him, and because of what he said at the council meeting, the Redevelopment Bureau should be the department that hates him the most. For these two departments, he adopted strategies of disintegration and co-optation respectively, and the results seemed to be very good.
He never thought that these government employees were monolithic, even if they had a small union organization-this organization was a branch of the Allegheny County Government Employees Union. Union organizations in the United States seemed to be very powerful. It can even influence presidential elections. In this organization, about 60 to 70 percent of the members¡¯ employers are the U.S. government. In other words, the U.S. labor union seems to be turning into the U.S. Government Employees Union.
He is planning to eliminate about half of the redundant departments and personnel, but only half. Half of the positions and employees will be retained. This gives them hope that they will not necessarily be laid off. Through competition, If there is still a chance to stay, can they still work together as a whole to fight against Wang Lei? Obviously not.
The most critical part of this is that Wang Lei¡¯s decision to eliminate redundant work has good reasons and there is no legal problem. After this news is made public, it will definitely get the support of small town residents. Those who want to make trouble have no confidence at all. Except for some die-hards, there must be many people who are unwilling to continue making trouble.
Of course, if Wang Lei acts a little weaker and lets them see that if the quarrel continues, the issue of institutional reform will be aborted, then many people will follow suit. Therefore, Wang Lei cannot be soft at all. He must not only show his toughness and let them have no illusions, but also use flexible means to treat different departments and groups of people differently and divide and disintegrate possible alliances.
With a two-pronged approach, they won¡¯t be able to cause trouble.
The response from the Redevelopment Bureau and the Public Affairs Bureau did not surprise Wang Lei. Although everyone clamored for Donna to treat them to dinner, everyone ordered their own takeout in the end. However, Donna also agreed with them that they would do it at home in a few days. It¡¯s a party, please come and have fun.
Wang Lei saw that there was no free lunch and was not in a hurry to go to other departments. He ran outside the town hall. Emily and the others were waiting for him in the parking lot. Colin and Wang Yang also arrived at this time. , shouting that they want to support him, but first they have to fill their bellies.
