Naruto: After traveling through time, I became the disciple of the first generation

"Don't worry, Manager Kato wouldn't use such methods to warn us, and it's Lord Tofu's prerogative to implement a comprehensive pay cut for everyone in the factory."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved and stopped thinking about their relationship with it.

Since they haven't done anything wrong, they naturally aren't afraid of scrutiny.

Some of those who participated were already trembling in a corner.

"I think the factory is going to undergo a major overhaul this time, so we should just focus on doing our own jobs."

Hinata Gen said somewhat seriously.

Ueno expressed his strong agreement: "Who knows, even Lord Torifu might be paying attention to this matter."

Laziness is a minor matter, but if it affects product quality and damages the reputation and credibility of the Konoha Village brand, then even execution wouldn't be enough to vent one's anger.

When the group arrived at the top of the mountain, they found a large number of workers gathered in front of the factory, but they were not going inside to work, and the atmosphere was rather serious.

"Looks like they're going to give him a lecture, so the expulsion is probably for real."

The group quietly approached the back of the line and asked a colleague in front of them.

"Hey, bro, what's going on here?"

The older man whispered, "Stop asking, the boss is furious. Those fifty people have already been fired."

Ueno and Hyuga were both very surprised; it seemed this time it was for real.

Kato Hisashi had always had a good temper and had never given a long lecture or fired anyone.

This led some people to develop the idea of ​​being lazy.

Now all the employees hate them. It's one thing for them to bring trouble upon themselves, but they shouldn't drag others down with them.

Kato Hisashi stood directly in front of everyone, without saying a word.

He only spoke slowly when it was time for work.

"Everyone should be aware of what has been happening recently."

No one spoke, they just nodded, while Kato Hisashi continued.

“I have always thought that everyone works in the factory to support their families, so I have never made things difficult for anyone or punished anyone.”

"Because I think everyone here is an adult, able to control their words and actions, and knows why they are working."

"You're not working for the village, nor for me, but for your wives, children, and parents!"

Kato Hisashi's tone gradually rose, and all the workers could hear the anger in it.

"I made things easier for everyone at work so that everyone could work easily and happily, but some people actually found a way to cheat and shirk their responsibilities because of it."

Kato Hisashi himself couldn't help but laugh: "Fifty people actually teamed up to form a group to monitor my inspection route in real time and report it to the next workshop to be inspected in advance."

Kato Hisashi clapped his hands: "All I want to say is that these people are intelligent. Working in a factory really restricts them, and they probably feel the same way."

"I don't object to people who believe they are smart and capable and can achieve greater things outside the factory; in fact, I fully support them."

"So last night, I processed their resignation procedures directly. All fifty of them left our factory to pursue better futures. Let's wish them all the best for the future."

"That's it, let's break up the meeting."

Kato Hisashi made no mention of any sanctions or increased oversight measures taken against other employees throughout his article.

He felt it was unnecessary, as it was merely the individual actions of those fifty people.

It's unfair to generalize about the actions of one person in a factory with so many members.

Kato Tsuneya never liked to impose collective punishment; simply expelling those people was already a punishment.

After Kato Hisashi left, all the employees breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"I was so scared, I thought we'd all be punished together."

"That's right, thankfully the boss isn't that kind of person."

"Alright, everyone go back to work. Those fifty people probably won't be able to stay in Konoha Village any longer."

Although there was no official reprimand, Konoha Village is only so big, just a town of tens of thousands of people, so it's easy to find out.

If they can't work properly in such a great factory environment, how can we expect them to work properly elsewhere?

Once their name is revealed, they will essentially have no place to stand in Konoha Village.

Their only option was to relocate to another village.

Although life in other villages is alright, it's worlds apart from Konoha Village; there's simply no comparison.

But so what? People always have to pay for their actions. If you make a mistake, you naturally have to bear certain consequences. Otherwise, everyone will develop a sense of侥幸心理 (a mentality of taking chances).

Kato Tsune originally didn't intend to use such harsh methods, since it was his first offense and he thought a little education would suffice.

His father at home also told him the same thing: to be forgiving when possible.

However, Kato Hisashi felt that this was not enough; the punishment was not severe enough, and they should not tolerate it just because it was a first offense.

If you are caught the first time and are simply lifted up high and then gently put down, then you will be caught a second time.

His authority would also be greatly diminished, and in the end, Kato Hisashi made the decision himself to fire those fifty workers.

Because they were fired for making a mistake, they received no compensation whatsoever.

Of course, they themselves had no face to ask for compensation.

Even now, they may not necessarily be without a way to make a living in the village.

However, if he were to demand compensation, he would instantly become infamous and would be completely unable to establish himself in the village.

Kato Tsune returned to his office and calmed himself down. This reprimand was a warning to anyone who had such thoughts or still harbored wishful thinking.

Whatever you do, don't get caught, or you'll be expelled.

Actually, Kato Hisashi doesn't think there's anything wrong with being lazy. After all, everyone is human, and work can get tiring at times.

Even he felt tired handling these clerical tasks in the office, let alone the workers in the factory.

So when you're tired, it's perfectly fine to take a break, go for a walk to refresh yourself, and then come back to work.

But those fifty people didn't work at all and kept a close watch on Kato Hisashi. They would only pretend to work during the time he was inspecting the place, and rested the rest of the time.

This was nothing short of a provocation, and Kato Hisashi could not tolerate it under any circumstances.

Firing fifty workers in one go is considered a major event in Konoha Village.

Because we've always been hiring, we've never heard of anyone being fired.

Later, when the villagers inquired further, they were all furious. Many of them had been desperate to get in, but these people didn't cherish this opportunity at all.

So everyone started searching to find out who had been fired and whose family they were!

As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and in less than an hour, all fifty people were found.
