Monday is June [-]st, International Children's Day.I didn't think of this at first, but it was said in the circle of friends, and it couldn't be avoided.

Many of the classmates I met in the United States have been added to the chat software in China, and many of them have become sea turtles.Of course, showing affection and posting selfies must be indispensable, although what does Children's Day have to do with these two... I don't quite understand.

Qu Zhizhi, as a Qingliu in my circle of friends, posted a popular science article early this morning: Children's Day is set up to commemorate the children who died in the war and call for the protection of children's rights.The accompanying picture is a selfie of her morning run wearing a mask, which can be forgiven for the sake of the text.

I gave a thumbs up.Hey, having someone like her as a teacher and being a student is pretty lucky.

It's just that the young lecturer has too little money, and their family's support for her to study for a Ph.D. in the United States is purely charity.

The first phase of the "circuit breaker" officially ended today, and the situation is still grim. Due to the late development of home office, our company will change to the AB group to rotate office next week.

The first thing to do at work is of course to clear the mailbox, I am absent-minded.The meeting was going to be held at ten o'clock, and it stands to reason that I had made enough preparations, but I couldn't settle down no matter what.It felt like half a glass of muddy water. The sand was just about to settle, but was turned upside down by the glass rod. The sand and gold hidden in the liquid were mixed in the mud and never saw the light of day.

I patted my forehead.What are you thinking?

The R&D director brought five people to a meeting with us.Today's conference was really lively, everyone who should or shouldn't have arrived, even the COO and CTO were rewarded, and the high-level people were almost all there, but Liang Heng didn't come.

Our CTO was airborne the year before last. According to gossip, he and Chief Liang were at odds with each other.Thinking of this, I hurriedly made an appointment on the schedule before the start of the meeting. Liang Heng promised to have dinner with me after unblocking. I invited him, so he couldn't forget this matter.

Today's meeting is the same as the first time, chaired by Miss Pender herself.Today is different from the past. Now the participants all know her weight, but they are a little slow to respond. After seeing this configuration, they know that the next battle will be tough.We have ventilated before, knowing that BCG does not intend to make too much embarrassment on the issue of data integration system, and the first agenda item at the meeting is related matters.

The R&D director responded to the omissions in the BCG documents last week and the lack of understanding of our company's special situation.The big boss also said that he supported the actual business needs of relevant colleagues and rejected BCG's suggestion to replace the system in disguise.

I had a bad premonition experience.

Xu Xin proposed that the R&D department should also be considered in the giant team model.

It turned out that this was their plan!I took a look at Miss Pender, and I was so bewitched that I would believe her nonsense.

BCG's corporate-style, expensive presentations are everywhere, reappearing on the screens of every attendee, and they are well-prepared, and they are by no means a temporary emergency thing.

Foretelling is not enough. I am not so superstitious in what age.I am afraid that their strategy is to use their tricks. Seeing that we maintain the self-developed system so much, they simply tied the R&D department to the pirate ship in advance to prepare for the company's split.Retaining the self-developed system was proposed by our side. BCG has no blood on its hands and is very innocent.

I really talked to her too much about the company's imagination before, and I was careless, thinking that she would listen to even [-]% of it.

Miss Pan De is calm and composed, and she is extremely focused at the moment, listening to Xu Xin's explanation and demonstration with all her attention, where is she distracted from me, where is there a trace of guilt?

I was so angry that my teeth itched, my lips were tightly closed, and I didn't say a word.

so bad……

The managers of the R&D department were as quiet as quails at the moment, and they didn't know if they were trying to play the role of a turtle, or they didn't hear the rattling of the knife at all.The director of R&D has an ugly face. Compared with BCG, his cold face is more like a show for us.

Even jumping into the Yellow River can't clean it up.

As long as he calms down, he won't fail to see that this has nothing to do with us-what do we need their R&D department for?Operations and technology can only be quarreled if they stay together, and they are kept in separate cages—no, it is more efficient to work separately.

But people may not have thought about calming down.The R&D department was indeed cheated by us this time.

Although it was an online meeting, no one could look at anyone, but I felt that most of the people were looking at me.Kevin must be reading a joke, right?What will other unknowing colleagues think of me now?

In my rage, I grew calmer.It is difficult to deal with BCG, but they have clear goals and easy-to-understand thoughts. If they recruit R&D personnel today, they will be the customer service center tomorrow.Important and unimportant, they will all be categorized and bundled by the optimization framework little by little, until one day there will be a prototype of the evil spirit, and if it bites back at the company, the crab shell will be half dead.

To deal with pure evil, you can't give the opponent a chance from the beginning.

"I heard that it was Yao's idea to invite the R&D department to participate in the meeting today." The big boss said, "What do you think about what Xin just talked about, Yao?"

I didn't save Xu Xin any face, and said bluntly: "I think this plan is unreasonable and irrational at the same time."

There is only electrical noise in the headphones.

Xu Xin's expression was smooth: "We will be happy to hear your opinion."

"Until today I thought that the optimization framework was all about efficiency. Most of your deliverables and amazing process ideas are built around improving efficiency. I don't understand why it is in the framework of the giant team model , BCG's thinking tends to make the overall structure more and more bloated? IMHO, there is a big difference between a giant 'team' and a giant 'nothing'."

I don't know who said "Wow" in a low voice.The meeting room was as cold as if the internet had been disconnected collectively, even Xu Xin couldn't answer my words immediately.

I couldn't help but glance at myself.

Well, there is a little sense of oppression on the screen.

No wonder last week was described as a tantrum—thinking of the joke with Miss Pender, I couldn't help but turn cold again.

"After being incorporated into the model, the communication between the R&D team and you will be closer." Xu Xin tried to bring me back into the circle, "Creating extremely smooth communication channels has always been the focus of our project..."

I patiently listened to him finish.But the latter is nonsense at all, and it is useless at all. I put it in my left ear and then it comes out of the right ear.

"This is actually a kind of resource inclination." I popped his bubble, "Forgive me, but it is difficult for me to agree with it as an optimization plan. In terms of communication with external departments, compared with absorbing People, from my point of view, should focus on channel building.”

"Teaching a man how to fish is worse than giving him a fish," said the big boss.He said this in Mandarin, and in order to take care of the non-Chinese present, he said it again in English, but of course the effect was not so good.

I didn't expect him to chime in.

It should be said that no one expected that BCG fell into a stagnation for a while.Miss Pande raised her eyebrows, but did not speak.

At this juncture, the first person to break the silence was Kevin.

He was more desperate than I imagined.

"Uh, please allow me to interrupt suddenly." Kevin cleared his throat pretentiously, "What Yao said just now may be more representative of the position of the Asian department-can I understand that, Rudra?"

There was a crack on the boss's poker face, but he covered it up very quickly: "Of course."

Kevin nodded slowly and forcefully, not knowing who it was for, and then said: "On this issue, the European department has different ideas. First of all, I want to say that we agree with the giant team model very much. The excellence of this framework lies precisely in the fact that it can integrate most resources, especially human resources, into one system in a very innovative form. From the standpoint of the department, I would say that it is critical to success Critical."

Flattery.

"In the past twelve months, I have signed several secondment orders. The European department has already begun to explore cross-departmental collaboration. According to our experience, the expansion of manpower from other departments has not changed the entire system. bloated, on the contrary, cross-departmental communication has become closer and smoother.”

Nonsense, Kevin's department has always been short of people, so if you don't poach people from other places, do you just insist on waiting for social recruitment?

"In actual work, colleagues from other departments make good use of their experience and special advantages-in fact, Ning is a perfect example." He named An Ning and said, "Colleagues and third parties are Invariably gave her a very high evaluation. In addition to her excellent personal ability, her background in data posts has also added a lot to her. As a pioneer of optimization framework to some extent..."

He can really say it, but also the forerunner?I endured and listened to his words.

"...Yao is somewhat lacking in this regard," he paused. "Let's say, she lacks experience. This may be more of her personal opinion, and it cannot be simply equated with the position of the Asian department."

My eyelids twitched a few times. He only confirmed with the boss a few minutes ago that what I said was equivalent to what the department said, and now he said it again. Isn’t this an intentional quarrel?

I looked at the boss, he still had a poker face.If we had an offline meeting, we could still exchange glances, but in this situation, I can only rely on guesswork.

This slap almost slapped our department on the face. It's not my style to suffer so hard.If someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other cheek to him—a pacifist like Gandhi might believe it, but I don't.

Dare not to fight against the wicked because people who believe in this principle still have a God, claiming that "it is up to me to avenge grievances, and I will repay them."If there were such a person, He presided over all their justice, and of course he didn't have to dirty his hands.

According to their God, I will go to Hell.

"I overestimated you before." I said deliberately lightly, "I was wrong, Kevin. It is undoubtedly a huge waste of resources to put the R&D department into a giant team model. I thought even you should understand this reason.

"It seems that I am still too naive - in your words, inexperienced. We are an Internet company, and respect for technology is our foundation. If you ignore technical experts and their actual needs, within three months, the market will collapse. Give you the most honest feedback."
