美老板自降年薪為員工加薪

CEO Dan Price took a 90% pay cut and slashed his company's profits just so he could give his employees a raise.
首席執(zhí)行官丹·布萊斯自降九成年薪、大幅降低公司利潤(rùn),以提高員工薪水。

Price, who heads up the Seattle payment processing firm Gravity Payments that he founded, has pledged to make sure all of his staffers make at least $70,000 annually in the next three years.
布萊斯是西雅圖信用卡支付處理公司Gravity Payments的創(chuàng)始人兼執(zhí)行官。他承諾:未來(lái)3年內(nèi),所有員工的年薪將不低于7萬(wàn)美元。

To do that he's cutting his $1 million salary to $70,000, and dipping into the firm's annual $2 million in profits.
為此,他自降百萬(wàn)年薪至7萬(wàn)美元,并動(dòng)用公司200萬(wàn)的年利潤(rùn)。

This will double the pay of about 30 of his workers and will mean significant raises for an additional 40.
由于該計(jì)劃,30名員工薪水翻倍,另外有40名員工薪水得到大幅度提高。

Price told employees of the new pay policy at a meeting Monday. For several moments there was stunned silence before people broke into applause and high fives said Phillip Akhavan, a merchants relations worker whose $43,000 salary immediately jumped 16% to $50,000.
據(jù)該公司商戶關(guān)系專員菲利普·阿哈萬(wàn)稱,老板宣布這一消息后,所有人先是陷入不可置信的沉默中,隨后全場(chǎng)爆發(fā)猛烈的掌聲和歡呼聲。阿哈萬(wàn)的工資提高了16%,從4.3萬(wàn)美元上升至5萬(wàn)美元。

"It took us a moment to understand what he was saying," said Akhavan. His first call was to his wife, who he said didn't believe him at first.
阿哈萬(wàn)說(shuō):“過(guò)了一會(huì)兒,我們才找到了北?!彼紫却螂娫捊o他的妻子,他的妻子剛開(kāi)始還不相信這個(gè)喜訊。

Nydelis Ortiz, a 25-year old underwriter who only started work there in January called her parents with the news. The family had struggled with homelessness after they moved to the states from Puerto Rico when she was a girl, and Ortiz, who also is now paid $50,000 said she now makes more than both her parents combined.
今年1月才來(lái)到公司的25歲核保人奧爾蒂斯立即打電話告訴父母這個(gè)消息。奧爾蒂斯一家自從在她小時(shí)候從波多黎各搬到美國(guó)以后,這么多年來(lái)總是為房租發(fā)愁。現(xiàn)在,她的工資漲到5萬(wàn)美元,比她父母加起來(lái)的工資還要高。

"My mom cried when I told her," she said. Her $36,000 salary was one of the lowest in the company.
她說(shuō):“我媽媽聽(tīng)到消息后哭了?!敝埃瑠W爾蒂斯年薪3.6萬(wàn)美元,是公司里年薪最低的。

Jason Byrd, 38, had struggled to get by in Seattle on his $40,000 salary as a technician. "This gives us so much freedom to just do our jobs and not have to worry about money," he said. He said he'll save some of his extra pay, and try to pay down some of the $42,000 he owes in student loans. "I almost bought a new Jeep today, then I decided I'll keep driving this one until it dies," he said.
38歲的詹森·伯德是一名技術(shù)員。以前,他以4萬(wàn)美元的年薪在西雅圖勉強(qiáng)度日。“漲薪后,我們可以有更多的自由時(shí)間花在工作上,不用擔(dān)心錢的問(wèn)題。”他表示將存下多余的錢,付清助學(xué)貸款4.2萬(wàn)美元?!拔医裉觳铧c(diǎn)買下一輛吉普車。要是買到了,我要開(kāi)到報(bào)廢才換。”

Price said he's the majority owner of the privately-held firm, which he started in his college dorm room 11 years ago. His older brother, who gave him seed money to get started, is the only other stockholder.
布萊斯表示他是這個(gè)私人控股公司的大股東。11年前,還是大學(xué)生的布萊斯在宿舍成立了該公司。哥哥資助了他,是公司僅有的另一個(gè)股東。

"My brother Lucas reacted with caution and questions, but not objections," said Price. He's single so he didn't have to explain his pay cut to a spouse.
他說(shuō):“我哥哥盧卡斯對(duì)我的計(jì)劃很疑惑,保持謹(jǐn)慎態(tài)度,但是他沒(méi)有反對(duì)?!庇捎谖椿?,布萊斯不用向妻子解釋其中緣由。

Price decided to hike his employees pay after he read a study about happiness. It said additional income can make a significant difference in a person's emotional well being up to the point when they earn $75,000 a year.
他做出這一決定是受一項(xiàng)關(guān)于幸福的研究的啟發(fā)。該研究表明,年薪超過(guò)7.5萬(wàn)美元后人們的快樂(lè)程度大大增加。

He'd also been hearing employees talk about the challenges of finding housing and meeting other expenses on their current salary, and decided there shouldn't be such a big gap between his pay as CEO and that of his workers. He described the raises as a "moral imperative."
此外,他還曾聽(tīng)員工訴說(shuō)過(guò)以目前的薪水要租到合適的房子以及應(yīng)付其他開(kāi)銷很有難度,這讓他決定自己與員工的收入差距不能如此之大。布萊斯將加薪形容為“道義上的需要”。

Price told CNNMoney he isn't the only CEO looking to close the income gap. He's heard from almost 100 other CEO via email and text who say they support his move. "I don't know if we'll see enough to move the needle, but i think people of my generation are committed to making a change."
在接受美國(guó)有線電視新聞網(wǎng)財(cái)經(jīng)頻道專訪時(shí),布萊斯說(shuō)他不是唯一一個(gè)試圖縮小與員工收入差距的公司高管。有媒體報(bào)道后,已經(jīng)有近100個(gè)其他公司的首席執(zhí)行官發(fā)電子郵件或短信表示支持?!拔也恢牢覀兪欠褡阋酝苿?dòng)現(xiàn)狀,但我認(rèn)為我們這一代人需要作出一點(diǎn)改變?!?/p>

Price said he'll stick with the reduced paycheck until he can restore Gravity's profits.
布萊斯表示,他會(huì)接受低薪直到公司恢復(fù)原先利潤(rùn)。

"My goal is to get back to previous profit levels within two to three years," he said.
“我的目標(biāo)是在2年或3年內(nèi),利潤(rùn)回到原來(lái)水平?!?/p>

Price said the 50 workers who already earn more than $70,000 were nearly as excited about the news as their lower paid co-workers.
布萊斯說(shuō),50位原先工資高于7萬(wàn)美元的員工與低薪員工一樣高興。

"They are happy that the folks that enable them to be high earners -- their team members -- will be taken care of," Price said.“高薪員工的工作需要底薪員工的支持。所以看到團(tuán)隊(duì)員工漲工資,他們也很開(kāi)心?!?/p>

Customer reaction has also been positive.
客戶的反應(yīng)也很積極。

"They love our service level and think the team deserves it," he said.
布萊斯說(shuō):“顧客喜歡我們的服務(wù)水平,認(rèn)為我們的團(tuán)隊(duì)值得漲薪?!?/p>

One thing he didn't expect: "We are all surprised at the coverage this is getting," Price said.
他說(shuō)沒(méi)有預(yù)料到的是:“這件事情會(huì)被大幅報(bào)道?!?/p>

News of Price's pay cut was reported earlier by the New York Times.
之前,《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》已經(jīng)報(bào)道過(guò)他的降薪新聞。
