“Yes, Cohen respondedwitha hint of reluctance.
His attitude towards Kylie had always lacked respect, maintaining his assertiveness in every meeting.
“Compared to last month, your KPI targets have decreased by three percent. I’d like to ask the reason.” Kylie inquired.
Cohen defended, saying. Aren’t you well aware of the current market conditions! Our traditional industry has managed to maintain a decrease of only three percent in such an economic downturn. This is already a risky and remarkable achievement. We’ve compared ourselves to other peers, and the declines are even more significant.”
“But as far as I know, the Stargazer Group, which operates traditional catering and hotels, increased their financial report by five percent this month compared to last month.” Kylie countered.
“How can we compare ourselves to Stargazer Group? Are we on the same level? We operate affordable restaurants and chain hotels below four stars, while they take the high-end route. Our scales are not comparable. They are in a different league than us!” Cohen argued.
“So. Mr. Stafford, you have no ambition at all? Haven’t you thought about becoming a large corporation like Stargazer Group?” Kylie asked.
“What a joke. Stargazer Group is a century-old enterprise. Its foundation is not on the same level as ours. It’s absurd to dream of reaching their standards.” Cohen sarcastically remarked in front of everyone. “Miss Kylie, you only come to the company one day a week and don’t understand the internal workings and operations. Don’t speak nonsense. It’s laughable.”
Kylie remained composed and said. There’s nothing impossible Years ago. Galaxy Group was not as prominent às Stafford Group, and now it’s become something Stafford Group looks up to. Have you ever thought about it? Galaxy Group achieved this in just three years.”
Cohen felt somewhat embarrassed in front of Kylie, who now held various glamorous titles such as a businesswoman, entrepreneur, and socialite in Beliey.
Cohen couldn’t come up with any strong arguments in front of her.
He said furiously. “If you’re so capable, why don’t you take charge
“If everything is left for me to handle. what value do you have! Or perhaps you should retire considering your age. Kylie retorted, mocking Cohen.
“Kylie, don’t force me. I was elected as the general manager by the board of directors. You can’t dismiss me just because you want to. Cohen replied.
“I have no intention of dismissing you. I just hope that you can elevate your perspective. Instead of constantly focusing on underperforming businesses, as leaders of Stafford Group, we should be thinking about how to improve the income and quality of life for our 1,000-plus employees. Rather than continuously laying off and cutting salaries to reduce losses, Kylie said, slamming the performance report onto the table.
Her momentum was strong, and Cohen’s face turned sour.
Yes. Cohen had reduced a significant amount of labor costs through layoffs and salary cuts to maintain the balance of Stafford Group’s finances.
He didn’t expect Kylie to notice this after visiting the company only four times a month.
“Of course. I don’t oppose your approach. In unfavorable circumstances, appropriate layoffs and salary reductions can boost employee motivation and morale. However, if the leadership lacks a good plan, the efforts of the lower-level staff will be in vain. Kylie’s voice lowered. “While the average salary of the lower-level employees has been reduced by five percent, our leadership has received a three percent increase in compensation from the previous year. Mr. Stafford. I don’t understand your purpose in doing this?”
