– Hello Dan! It’s me, Helen! I’m calling you up to ask for you
r help.
– What’s up Helen?
– I don’t think so. You‘ve been working for our company for
3 years and I must say you’ve made a lot.
****
– Good morning everybody! I hope all are here. Let’s start. Firstly, all of you
know that we have been waiting for an opportunity to enlarge our presence at the
Karachaganak field by providing as much services as possible since last February.
This chance has arisen at last. We’ve signed an attractive contract with General
Customer for three years. And now our main task is to arrange good service without
hiring extra hands. How do you think, is it possible or not?
– May I have a word?
– Sure.
– Having signed new contracts for providing extra services we have to hire
definite number of specialists. Our people will be overloaded with work. They can’t
work overtime constantly. It’s illegal from one hand and we can lose valuable
specialists from other one.
– Aren’t overtime hours paid well?
– Yes, it’s paid well, but people aren’t robots. They can’t work non-stop without
having a rest. If people are tired they hardly can focus on a task to be done
immediately or accurately. It can lead to accidents at work place.
– Well, you are right. So, what do you suggest?
– At first we need to estimate forthcoming scope of work and find out how many
people we need to cover all work. Then it’s necessary to arrange work on rotation.
– Ok, I’ll report to top management concerning to required steps to be done and
let you know about their decision.
– Shall we start looking for extra people right now?
– Oh, HR specialist has woken up! No, dear, first engineers should evaluate the
scope of work and quantity of required specialists and only after that you will start
your work.
****
– Is your Manager easily convinced?
– No, I wouldn’t say so! He always stands on his point of view. He rechecks any
information several times.
– Is it hard to work with him?
– No, he is clever and knows his deal excellently.
– Is he predictable?
– If only for me, as I’ve been working with him for ten years and can predict his
reaction to many different situations.
****
– Good afternoon! Let’s get started. I’ve a good news. We are going to sign
a long-term contract and work is going to be started in fortnight.
– From one side it’s good, but it’s hard to realize from other one.
– You mean our uncompleted object, don’t you?
– Yes, construction of new facilities will require enlarging of work forces. While
we haven’t finished previous object where are involved all our vehicles, equipment
and work forces.
– How much time will it take us to complete this object?
– We should complete this object by the end of August but taking in attention
weather conditions, it can take more time then was planned.
– How we can solve this problem?
– I suggest attracting of Subcontractors. It just makes sense in order not to lose the
contract.
– If I didn’t have any idea I wouldn’t sign this contract. Let’s have a look at the
key problem. We have a very profitable contract but we haven’t got enough work
forces to start object in two weeks.
– We must learn the situation carefully. Most definitely Customer will require
starting of work immediately after signing the contract as they want this object to be
constructed as soon as possible.
– Any way, we can attract Subcontractors and provide them with our technical
support. Having completed present object we will evacuate all our vehicles,
equipment and work forces to a new one.
– Really, only it has a sense.
