Almighty Coach

Thor is in his fifties this year. He used to be a fitness instructor when he was young. Later, he opened a small community gym from scratch. After several years of operation, the small community gym turned into a medium-sized gym, and then became a Now it has become a more advanced "Thor Physical Training Center".

More than three months ago, Thor poached a coach from Dai Li. In Thor's view, he made a pretty good deal. Because Dai Li's salary for that coach was not considered high, Thor proposed a 30% salary increase, and successfully poached that coach.

Thor is very satisfied with his decision. The coach he recruited has performed well in Dai Li's training center. Even with a 30% increase in salary, Thor thinks it is worth the money. After all, a qualified Physical fitness coaches cannot be cultivated in a short period of time. Coaches with good abilities and certain work experience will be able to start work immediately after arrival, and no physical fitness training center will reject them.

At that time, Thor also inquired about the news that the Iron Man Training Center had poached more people. Thor felt very regretful about it. He thought it was too late, otherwise, he would definitely be able to poach more talents from Dai Li. .

However, after three months, Thor changed his mind, and he even regretted his decision to poach people.

The coach is not a scientist. It is fast for a scientist to produce results in a few years after doing a scientific research. Many scientists spend their whole life researching a project and wait until they are in the coffin to produce results. Some scientists even have scientific research results until they die. It will take decades to prove it.

For a coach, three months is enough to see the coach's training level and coaching ability. For example, an NBA team changed its coach in the new season. After the new coach took office, he experienced less than a month of preseason training camp, about 20 days of preseason games, and then played another month of regular season. It can be seen how the coach's coaching level is. Soccer is similar. A coach coaches a team for three months. After looking at the team's performance, he can basically make an evaluation of the coach.

As for physical fitness coaches, the time for this evaluation is shorter. Short-term physical training can take 10 to 15 days to see results. Generally speaking, if the physical fitness training for a month still does not see the effect, it can be said that training Failed.

It has been three months now. It is said that the new coach should have shown results long ago. However, the reality is just the opposite. Instead of making any progress, several clients in charge of the coach have shown signs of improvement. There have been varying degrees of regression and, at best, stagnation.

Thor has realized that he has misjudged the person. What he dug up is not an excellent coach, but a thorough "parallel import" coach. This coach's ability is not worthy of the salary at all.

...

At the same time, Robin, the owner of another physical training center in Los Angeles, also had a depressed expression.

Opposite Robin, sitting was his partner Johnson. At this time, Johnson kept nagging: "No wonder that Walker can only get a seemingly meager salary in Coach Lee's training center. It is the embodiment of his ability!"

"Sorry, my friend, I misread the person this time. Walker is not a qualified physical fitness coach. His real level is only entry-level in a physical training center like ours." Robin continued: "However, when he was in Coach Li's training center, he performed very well. I also saw the successful cases he was in charge of, so I decided to hire him with a high salary. But after he came to our training center, he did not show his previous performance. Ability."

"In fact, you made a wrong decision. So I have a suggestion, since a mistake has already occurred, why not correct this mistake in time? We don't need to raise such a useless person!" Johnson said in a low voice.

Robin was silent for a few seconds, then nodded with approval, and said happily: "Have you heard that? Other training centers also poached coaches from Dai Li, and those who were poached They all performed poorly. Fortunately, we only poached one person from Dai Li. If we poached a few more people at that time, we might have lost a whole year's profit."

"I've also heard that as long as the coaches poached from Dai Li, none of them will achieve results, let alone take charge of their own. If we didn't take the initiative to poach people from Dai Li, I even suspect that Dai Li is doing it on purpose. What the hell, put some useless people on us and cause us losses." Johnson said and shook his head: "I really admire that Dai Li's vision now, he knows that those coaches are not worth so much salary, so When we went to dig people, he didn't keep them at all, but we took the waste as treasure."

"What I'm wondering now is why these coaches performed very well when he was there, but after being dug out to other places, one by one is worse than the other." Robin said.

"Who knows? Maybe it's witchcraft from the East! Think 'Blade' Phillips, who is missing two legs but can beat top able-bodied players, and Kevin Taylor, who at 32 hits the It seems impossible to me to be in a stronger state at the age of 22, but he did it." Johnson showed a helpless expression.

"Maybe this guy is really a wizard. His training center should be renamed, don't call it Coach Li Training Center, it's more appropriate to change it to a wizard training center." Robin teased a bit, then changed his voice, and continued: "By the way, did you know that it was Max from the Iron Man Training Center who poached the most people from Dai Li. He spent a lot of money but dug up a bunch of trash. I think he must have suffered a heavy loss now."

...

Ironman Training Center.

Jones looked decadent.

Jones feels that he has been working very hard. He arrives at the Ironman Training Center very early every day and leaves very late after work. He puts almost all his energy into work, even on rest days. Considering how to develop training programs for clients. In the past few months, he didn't go to the movies, he didn't go to the ball game, he didn't go to the bar, and he didn't even play video games.

But Jones' efforts did not pay off. Not long ago, in the physical fitness training class he was in charge of, all the trainees were wiped out, and no one passed the 24-hour frogman challenge. After that, the training effect of several clients he was in charge of was also very bad. Some people were even dissatisfied with his training and directly complained to the boss Max.

This made Jones feel very confused. He put in so much effort, but in the end he went further and further in the opposite direction.

"I was not like this when I was in Coach Li's training center. At that time, my training was very efficient. Even professional athletes can make obvious progress under my training. After coming here, I put in more work, but the training effect is several grades lower than before, why is this?"

Jones looked not far away, and standing there was a coach named Claude, who was Jones' colleague, is, and was.

Claude used to be Dai Li's coach, and was dug here together with Jones. His situation is the same as that of Jones. When he was with Dai Li, he was like a fish in water and received rave reviews. After coming to the Iron Man Training Center, he seemed to be A different person, and the level of training dropped off a cliff.

"I heard that Claude was also complained by a client yesterday, and his situation is as bad as mine." Jones thought silently.

At this moment, a person shouted at Jones in the distance: "Coach Jones, the boss asked you to go to his office!"

Jones felt a "thump" in his heart,

...

Max sat in his office with a very serious expression, and in front of him were several dismissal letters, the first of which had Jones' name on it.

"It's time to make a conclusion." Max murmured.

"You should have done this a long time ago." Opposite Max, the bearded coach continued with a smile: "Continue to let guys of that level stay here, we will only lose more and more. In fact, after the physical training class ends Then you should have fired them."

"You're right, they cost me an extra month's salary and lost several clients, which is another big loss. Fortunately, we won't have to lose any more next month." Max nodded.

"But according to the regulations, you still have to pay him an extra month's salary." The bearded Hu said.

The United States allows employees to be fired at any time, and it can be said that typical employers have the final say. In most states, dismissing employees requires a reasonable reason, such as being late for work, low work efficiency, lack of professional ethics, negative impact on the company, etc., while in California, the law allows employers to directly dismiss without reason For the employees, the squid will be fired if they say so.

In terms of labor laws, the U.S. does not mandate "unfixed-term contracts". The U.S. labor laws mainly protect the employment of certain vulnerable groups, such as avoiding racial discrimination in employment, gender discrimination in employment, and employment of disabled people. Discrimination and so on.

It is also for this reason that there are very strong trade union organizations in the United States. When workers join the union, they will have more say in the face of the employer. If the employer dares to fire someone, everyone will strike together and quit.

Of course, compensation for dismissal is indispensable. Generally, it is 1+N months of salary compensation, where N refers to the number of years of work in the enterprise. Those like Jones who have worked for less than a year can only get one month's salary compensation if they are fired.

...

Jones walked out of the Ironman training center, still holding the dismissal letter and a check for one month's compensation in his hand.

"I'm unemployed!" Jones still can't believe what happened.

More than three months ago, he was a "talent" poached with a high salary, and he came here full of ambition, ready to show his talents.

Three months later, he walked out of the Iron Man training center in a state of embarrassment, howling like a beaten water dog.

"If you don't stay here, you have a place to stay! There are many physical training centers in Los Angeles. Based on my work experience, am I afraid that I can't find a job!" Jones began to motivate himself again. He took out his mobile phone and came to a recruiting office. On the website, start to check the latest recruitment information.

Behind Jones, footsteps sounded, and Jones' former colleague, Coach Crowder, also came out with a letter of dismissal.

...

Thor Fitness Center.

The boss Thor looked at the young interviewer in front of him, and then opened the resume that the other party had just sent. However, one line of employment experience on the resume immediately attracted Thor.

"Mr. Jones, your resume says that you once worked in the Coach Li Physical Training Center, so why did you leave there and go to the Iron Man Physical Training Center?" Thor had already guessed in his heart, but pretended to be calm ask.

"Because Mr. Max from the Ironman Training Center gave me a higher salary." Jones said proudly. In his opinion, a salary increase is something worth showing off, at least it can show that he is valuable.

However, Thor showed a wry smile, and said in a very low voice as if talking to himself: "It turns out that this is the case, this Jones has caused Max to lose a lot..."

"Mr. Thor, what are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly." Jones asked.

Thor narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Jones with a half-smile: "Mr. Jones, my job here is not suitable for you."

"Mr. Thor, we can talk about salary again..." Jones thought that the other party was planning to lower the salary.

"No, no, Mr. Jones, this is not a matter of salary." Thor leaned back and continued, "My training center does not need employees who have worked with Coach Li."

"Why?" Jones asked instinctively.

"Because I just fired an employee, he was once Dai Li's coach just like you." Thor said and stretched out two fingers: "There is a big hole in the ground, if you fall into it for the first time, you can It would be foolish to say it was careless and fall in the second time!"
