My sister was laid off by the company and received 80,000 yuan in compensation.
After more than half a month, the boss called to ask if my sister had found a job.
My sister said: I've been working for over ten years, it's just the right time to relax, so I didn't plan to find a job so soon. The boss said: "What a coincidence, the project you were in charge of before suddenly needs you to come back and sign the contract, and the client specifically requested that you be in charge, hurry back to start working." My sister was very excited to hear this news because the project had been modified four times before and still did not satisfy the client, and the boss started to question her work abilities, ultimately laying her off.
Now that the project has restarted, she immediately went to the company to handle the onboarding procedures.
Upon arriving at the company, the HR manager took out a new employee contract and asked my sister to return the compensation she had previously received. My sister naturally disagreed, as she was being rehired as a new employee; if she had to return the compensation, it should include her previous work experience. The HR manager consulted the boss, and the boss agreed that she could proceed with the onboarding procedures.
While handling the onboarding process, my sister found that her monthly salary was still the same as before, so she requested a 20% raise. The HR manager said he couldn't make that decision, so my sister called the boss to explain her request.
Unexpectedly, the boss became very angry and said to her: "Are you kidding? As a new employee, I haven't paid you according to the new employee's salary standards, which is already generous enough; don't be ungrateful!"
My sister retorted: "Where can you find a new employee who is personally called back by the boss?
I have experience, asking for a 20% raise is not unreasonable; please think it over?"
In the end, the HR manager said my sister's request was excessive, but he felt he was not wrong. Does everyone think it was a mistake?
