Li Yang's expression immediately soured. Just as Dan Biao braced himself for another outburst, Li Yang spoke.
"Fine. Give him a 6,000 yuan raise budget. Take the rest from the budgets of your other teams in the operations department."
Dan Biao was stunned.
'You son of a bitch. So the only reason you're not angry is because you're not spending a single extra cent! It's all just being scraped from my other teams. After these raises, won't I be the one who has to smooth things over with them?'
"Xiaodan, the economy is in a rough spot. Forget raises, a lot of companies are cutting pay. Some aren't just cutting pay, they're laying people off. So you need to manage your team's expectations. Don't let them think an annual raise is something they're entitled to. If their performance keeps slipping, they'll be out of a job."
'What the fuck am I supposed to say to that?'
