Bruce said to him in a slightly sarcastic tone.
He had expected Zach to shake his head at him and tell him that there was nothing else. However much to his dread and discontent Zach smiled.
“I also want to improve the working conditions, they work hard relentlessly and I want to find a way for them to know that I appreciate what they do.” Zach said to him.
Bruce looked to him as though he was losing some of his mind. “What do you plan to do. Decrease their work days.” Bruce said to him incredulously.
Zach widened his eyes as a smile made its way onto his face. “Well I am glad to see that you and I are on the same page. I would like to reduce their days to five days a week.” Zach said to him in a firm tone.
Bruce shook his head at him as he said, “you can’t be serious can you.” Zach however only gave him a smile in response.
“Why don’t you reduce their work hours as well.” He muttered. Zach looked towards him with a pointed look on his face before a. small smile made its way onto his features.
He hummed?before placing a hand onto his chin and Bruce couldn’t help but curse himself internally as he realized that Zach was actually thinking it over. He knew that he should have never suggested it and he didn’t know what he had thinking of at that moment.
In truth he was thinking of it as a type of joke and he hadn’t thought that he would take him seriously.
“Yes I think that we need to take their hours and cut them down. They work far too hard and we need to cut it down. Plus it isn’t as though we are having more production now we need to slow it down until it is needed. And even if we need our workers to work harder and longer in the future then that will be under the agreement that we will be paying them for the extra time.” Zach said to him and Bruce couldn’t help but suck in a deep breath ant his words.
He had never heard of anything like it before and yet here Zach was treating the workers as though they were social and for him it seemed as though they were royalty that deserved their own sense of special treatment.
“why are you doing all of this for the workers. You know that no one else would do something like this.” He said to him.
He watched as he shrugged his shoulders at him in response and he made no attempt to deny the fact. He knew that this was peculiar and that there was no one else that would do something like this but for him that was the whole point of what he was doing. He didn’t want to be like the others. He wanted to be different and he wanted to show that the workers. Deserved to be treated in a humane way and that they were worthy of being treated with the most form of respect.
“Yes and that is the point. The employees have been the ones who have been putting in all of the effort had putting out all of the stocks to ensure that everything is working smoothly in the company and it seems as though they are the ones who are never getting the recognition that they deserve. They need to know that we see them and that we value them.” Zach said to him.
Bruce looked towards him in peculiarity as though he was trying to figure out where exactly he was going with that and how that would be any benefit to the both of them.
“and how would that do anything for the both of us or the company.” He asked him and he watched as Zach shrugged his shoulders at him in response.
“Well that is simply for us to find out. I can’t tell the future so of course I don’t know with all certainty what the outcome of it all is going to be. But I know that us helping out the workers ids never going o be a bad thing. This is the company for the workers not just the employees and it should be seen as such. Maybe we will set a standard and make an example which the others will be eager to follow.” He said to him with a shrug of his shoulders.
Bruce thought over it for a moment and he couldn’t help but admit for a moment that there was a part of him that did agree that his idea did make sense but it was strange for him to see them taking care of the workers this well.
He hoped that Zach did know what he was doing and that the outcome would be worth all the trouble that they would have to go through.
However he knew that despite his efforts that there was going to be no way for him to change Zach’s mind and so there was a part of him that wasn’t even entirely sure why he was trying to do so.
When it came to Zach he knew that he would just have to go along with what he said and then hope for the best of outcomes at the end of the day.
And that was the start of it all. Following the order given by Zach the people and the workers were ushered into a new era where workers were given shorter working hours and only had to work eight hours a day. They also had better working wages and theyhad less work days.
It meant that they would have two days off to rest on the weekend before they would have to come back in to work on a Monday.
This helped a lot as it meant that they would be ready and refreshed by the time that they would have to wake up. .
“I know that you are going to think that I am going to go against you again. Buy I just have to point it out to you now that I think that is crazy.”
Bruce said to him and Zach couldn’t help but raise a brow at him. “And how is it crazy that I want to help my workers and that I want to make sure that they are able to work in the most suitable conditions ever.” Zach asked him and he watched as he shook his head at him before letting out a sigh from his lips.
“You don’t understand. No one had ever done this before. This is madness and it isn’t going to end well. That I assure you.” he said to him as he did his best in trying to dissuade him.
He knew with all certainty that this wasn’t going to end well and the last thing that he wanted was for things to become even worse than they already were now.
“Oh so you think that just because something hadn’t been done before then it is madness. because no one has acted on one thing it means that anyone else that would dare to do it must have been wrong and didn’t know what they were going into?” Zach asked and he watched as Bruce shook his head at him inresponse.
“That isn’t what I meant. Idon’t mean that it is all going to end badly. I am just trying to warm you that you have to be veery careful with what you are doing. This is going to most likely going to result in the business taking a nose dive and it will cause it to plumet effectively. You can’t just rush into this. I beg you to sit down and to think this through before you go on and do something irrational. After all there is a reason that no one had even done this before. I am sure that it isn’t because no one has thought about doing it before but it means that they know the risks and they know what it will cost . That is why they aren’t willing to risk their business and everything that they have been working hard for in order for them to be able to pursue something that they aren’t going to be sure will work out in their favor.” He said to him.
However Zach con the other hand wasn’t listening to him as he only offered him a small smile on his features. He tsked as he shook his head at him before showing off his pearly whites.
“You speak as though you know nothing about business. you cant just continue to be a pessimist. You won’t get far. Zach said to him.
Bruce furrowed his brows as he looked him over for a moment and for a second he tried to decipher what it was that was going through his head.
“Well this isn’t pessimism this is rational thinking. I am only stating it as it is. And that is something that is needed for someone as not just a business man but as a human being as well.” Bruce said to him.
He watched as Zach let out a sigh form his lips as he hung his shoulders low.
“Well you have to be willing to take a few risks. You can’t simply sat that you are going to allow fear to control you and limit yourself to this world by forcing yourself into the shadows.”
