Almost nine in the morning. The whole brass craft employee was already on the come. All are told to sit in the living room where ordinary customers or bookers meet and talk with brass. Although the guest chair only contained six people, but the employees were told to take their own seats, in order to gather with fifteen employees.
Jamil won't sit in the boss' seat. He intentionally mixed with his friends. Of course Jamil does not want to be considered arrogant and arrogant. He is not comfortable with the more senior employees.
"Mas Jamil is sitting in the boss' seat, to .." said one of the employees.
"Ah, not good .... Not my right .... I will." Jamil said with a smile.
"Come, Mil .... Starting soon .... We need that severance ...!" said one of the older employees. I can't wait to ask for a severance.
"Yes .... I just started, yes .." said Jamil who had sat down to face the employees.
"Yes, the sooner the better .... Don't take too long .... Our severance pay is awaited to buy rice .... Make a family meal ...!" said that guy.
"Alright, Father, Mas, Ma'am my brothers all .... Here I am only running the mandate of Mr. Boss, to continue this business. This is because we know Mr. Boss is still dealing with the authorities. We just pray for Mr. Boss to be released immediately ..." Jamil said opening the event.
"Already, Jamil .... Don't take too long .... I don't need your babble. What matters now is the severance please immediately given ...!!" again the almost old man demanded severance to be immediately divided.
"Prophe it, lo ..." said another employee.
"Patience ..., patience .... Share when ..?!" tell that man again. Apparently he can't wait to immediately ask for a severance.
"Yes .... I will share the severance .... But frankly, I want to give you a choice .... So not only do I give severance money, but the employees must also know the problems faced by the company .... Let's not be disappointed or sorry .." said Jamil who kept smiling.
"Dismayed how ...?! We never regret ...! Anyway quickly share the severance money!" said the man who approached the old man still insisted on asking for severance.
"Yes, right ...! The important thing is we were given severance ...!" suddenly there are other employees who support asking for severance.
"Allah .... I cannot force someone's will. Then I want to know, who really wants to get out of this job, I will give severance ..." this time Jamil's words are a bit loud, and of course Jamil does not smile. Even Jamil's face looked angry.
Everyone is silent. Fifteen employees did not answer. Even they bow their heads. As if afraid to see the face of Jamil. Including almost old men who had asked to be immediately given severance. He also silently nodded.
"Kok shut up all ...?! Wouldn't you like to be given a severance?" again Jamil asked the employees.
Again, the employees were silent. No one answered. Even they're down. No one dared to raise his head.
"Mbak Ika ..." said Jamil called a female employee named Ika, as a shopkeeper of handicrafts.
"Yes me, Mas Jamil .... Uh ..., sorry, Mr. Jamil ..." said the shopkeeper.
"I ask for help, Ma'am Ika take paper and pen .... Please offer to friends, who would like to quit work and ask for severance ... And who are the friends who want to stay in this place of business, of course, keep working ..., and who still want to be here, means they can't be severance." jamil said he asked the young woman, who was daily looking after the brass shop.
"Yes, Mr. Jamil ..." The woman named Ika immediately rushed to pick up the paper and ballpoint in the store.
Then, Jamil certainly conveyed his meaning to his friends again. He spoke again in front of the employees.
"Fathers, Mas-mas, and Mbak all .... Please listen to my words. I want to convey to all friends, that the brass craft business owned by Mr. Boss is actually in a state of bankruptcy. Last week, before Mr. Bos's wife died, this place of business would be seized by the bank, due to debt arrears and interest that had exceeded the deadline. Sure Miss Boss is stressed. Maybe that's what caused Boss to kill herself. To be honest, this company has no money at all. I happen to have savings that can be used to pay the debt of the company, and of course to save this place of business so as not to be seized by the bank. And coincidentally, Mr. Boss is currently in police custody. Mr. Boss ordered to the child and his family, asking me to help deal with this brass craft business problem. Frankly, I cannot continue my business in chrismone conditions like this. No one wants to buy brass. No money entry. Therefore, the company has no money or bankrupt. And at this time, I just want to give a choice to Mr, Mas, Mbak and brother all .., if you want to help me to maintain this place of business, work together with me, if you want to help me, but of course do not expect payment first .... Tomorrow if the chrismon has passed, hopefully our efforts will get results. But if you do not want to work without success, waiting for a chrismon that does not know when it ends, I do not mind until looking for another job aka out of this place of business. And I'll give you a severance. Please choose your own. ..., determine will join the work here with the results that I postpone the payment, or at most I help you get paid a little, or choose to leave here and get a severance. Ma'am Ika who will record the choice of sampeyan. I will not force it" said Jamil who explained to the employees, then left the place, of course so that his friends did not hesitate to make a choice.
"Where is this ...?" some people are confused about choosing.
"What is how ...?! Just choose .... Want to keep working without pay or out was given severance ..." said another explained to his friend again.
"What did you choose?"
"Yes, it's up to me ...."
"Don't follow the others, decide according to his own heart ...."
"If you are not at home here just mending out .... Mumpung was given severance ...."
"Who wants to go out ...?"
"There .... Yes, definitely not at home working here ...."
"You're looking for a good, relaxing job, big pay .... Hehehe ...."
"Quick nulis .... Let it finish quickly ...."
"Sir, you asked the severance payer to keep working here ...?"
"Haha .... Obviously ask for a severance .... What will I eat here?"
"Lha keep going, what will you do to get out of here?"
"Helah .., don't think .... Later business .... The important thing is we got severance first ...."
"Mbak Ika .., if you have asked for a severance, if tomorrow the chrismon is gone, I can work here again?" ask the confused young man.
"Just talk .... Wants to profit itself .... If it has come out already .., do not ask for its own good .... If you want a good company that set up its own company, let it easily go in and out ...!" the woman named Ika.
Finally, everyone made a choice. Of course, fifteen employees have their own decisions with their own reasons. No one is forced, and no one is forced.
Jamil went back into that room. This time he sat in the Boss' chair. And really become the Boss.
"How about, Ma'am Ika ...?" jamil asked the woman who was asked to take note of it earlier.
"This, Mr .... Sorry if my writing is not good" said Ika who handed the writing to her new boss.
"Thank you, Ma'am Ika ..." said Jamil who immediately read the list written by Ika.
All employees are silent. This time they saw Jamil sitting in the seat of Mr. Boss, really looking authoritative. There was a terrifying aura from Jamil's face. Actually not scary, but rather on a firm attitude.
"Mr, Mommy, Ma and my brothers .... Sampeyan has made a choice. There are seven people who decide to get out of this workplace, and of course I will give a severance. And I will not be stingy or miserly to friends who have already decided to go out. Even though our financial condition is getting worse, but I will give severance to the boat for three times the salary, with the hope for the next three months until you get a job that suits your expectations." jamil said with a smile.
It turned out to be true as his son, Melian, said. People who ask out and are more concerned about severance is indeed the employees who have been observing his work is not diligent. They do not include good employees. They only care about money. Even Jamil often witnessed, these people always debt to the employer. Of course, at payday, the payment received is not intact because it must be cut by debt.
Yes, employees who protest a lot, a lot of demands, are usually incompetent people, people who do not work well. Be thankful Jamil when these people, these lazy and unproductive employees are asking to get out. No problem giving severance, than later if they are still in the business place it will be a continuous problem.
Then Jamil called one by one employees who chose to resign. Jamil gives severance pay, and of course while saying thank you.
"Monggo, Sir .... Maturnuwun has been working here .... Hopefully, sampeyan can get a better job ..." so Jamil said when giving severance money.
No bad words, no grudges, and no hate. Jamil was down and kind to the employees who came out. Although not yet an employee, but they are all his fellow workers first. Jamil still has to respect and consider friends.
One by one of the seven employees who resigned had received severance. And all of them were shaken by Jamil. There are no more protests. There are no more demands.
"Pak ..., how are we?" suddenly one of the employees who chose to stay in work asked Jamil, after seven colleagues who could severance already at home.
"You're choosing to keep working here ...?!" ask Jamil.
"Yes, Mr ...."
"Rubber, Sir ...."
"I mean ..., what should we do now?"
"Oh, yes .... I want to say, this place of business is now ours together. Without a sideyan working here, this effort is meaningless, it won't even work. Then we have to help each other, we have to work together. In the current state of chrismon, with the number of employees only eight people, then we should be able to do all the work. The driver must not only wait for the car, but also must help other jobs. Mbak Ika, who is the guard part of the store, if the store is quiet, then Mbak Ika must help Mbak Sri to pack goods. And other parts too. Which ones help the troublesome ones. So next. Even I, because my expertise is sanding, then later I will also help sanding .... I see, yes ..." said Jamil who started organizing the work.
"Yes, sir ..." replied the employees compactly.
And now, eight employees only live young. He is under Jamil all. Of course Jamil was happy, because he did not feel awkward or confused to give orders to his employees.
That day, Jamil became the boss of the Brass Scouts.
