Business game conflict resolution algorithm. Business game for young professionals "resolution of conflict situations"

Homeschooling is a general name for all forms of school education outside of school: family education, self-education, additional education in the subjects of the school curriculum.

The Russian Law "On Education ..." places all responsibility for the organization and results of home schooling on school programs on parents and obliges them to return the child to school if he did not pass the certification on time.

The Algorithm Home Education Center invites you to share this responsibility with us: to organize and ensure successful home education and certification of your child in the school programs of your choice with the help of our qualified teachers, modern educational resources and technologies, many years of experience and professional knowledge.

We will help solve all the problems of school education outside of school: from choosing the best form of education and an external school from among our partner schools to preparing for the Unified State Examination.

    My son Pavel graduated from high school, passed the exam and all this thanks to a very well-organized learning process at the Algorithm school. I would especially like to express my gratitude to the teacher of Russian language and literature, Polina Leonidovna, who helped me to comprehend the wisdom of these difficult subjects for a whole year. Tatyana Evgenievna, whose concerns everything was clearly planned. The teacher of mathematics also wants to say a lot of kind words! What a blessing to have such a wonderful school! THANKS!

    How to combine school and creativity Last year at school, I dreamed of switching to distance learning, since work in the theater and the violin took up most of my time. And in a regular school, I was not satisfied with the attitude of teachers towards students. Distance learning has saved me, allowing me to free up time for my favorite activity. In addition, no school over the years has been able to give me what I received in two years of study in the program compiled by the online school. Education here fully met all my expectations. Thanks!

    Hope S.

    Plenty of time for profile studies! I finished grades 10-11 in one year - I really liked distance learning. I entered with good results to college the first time! Online training allowed me to prepare for specialized exams without wasting extra time on secondary subjects. True, it is sometimes difficult to force yourself to do it, but then the result is better!

    Now I can do everything After the 9th grade, I decided to switch to distance learning. After all, I go in for sports professionally: I train a lot, constantly at the training camp and do not have time to attend classes at a regular school at all. My parents and I began to actively look for a school: it turned out that many athletes initially study remotely. Being anywhere in the world, I can study on the Learning Portal and with teachers online, do all my homework remotely, and come to school to hand over all face-to-face work several times a year. The non-daily attendance form of study literally saved me.

    Education is important for athletes for the future life I play for the Russian Youth Rhythmic Gymnastics Team and spend most of my time at sports camps or competitions. In the spring of 2014, we became the winners of the Youth Olympic Games in group exercises! It is almost impossible to go to school with such a schedule, but I understand that studying is very important for my future life. Now I have the opportunity to remotely study with tutors in Russian and mathematics at a convenient time for me and successfully prepare for the mandatory state certification.

    The opportunity to play your favorite sport and gain the necessary knowledge I have been playing hockey professionally for many years. For several years I have been a player in the Russian Youth Team. This year, together with my team, we won bronze medals at the Youth World Championship! But I don’t want to connect my life only with sports, so studying is also very important for me. In the future, I would like to do journalism. Distance learning for me is an opportunity to play my favorite sport at a high level and gain the necessary knowledge.

    For health In the 7th and 8th grades, I was constantly sick, often skipped school, this, of course, caused a lot of questions at school, I don’t even want to talk about big gaps in knowledge. I decided to switch to distance learning in the 9th grade - to improve my health, try to fill in the gaps in knowledge and, of course, prepare for the OGE. After switching to online learning in all classes, both independent and with online teachers, I quickly received answers to difficult questions without leaving home. I significantly improved my results and successfully passed the OGE :)

    In "Algorithm" it is easier and more interesting to study than in a regular school In distance learning, I have to do everything on my own, and I have already learned this. But without the skills of self-discipline, nothing will work. Now I can count my own time. I think that ordinary school students with self-discipline have much more problems. But for me, this is a necessity. In this form of training, there is nothing superfluous, knowledge is better absorbed. The lessons of mathematics and physics are especially exciting for me - they are accompanied by excellent video materials.

My son Rama studies at Algorithm with primary school. And we have never regretted our choice. Distance learning frees up time for additional education - and this has become a determining factor for us.

In my opinion, the school has three main advantages: excellent organization of the educational process, professionalism of teachers, comfortable learning for children with a low stress component.

We are very satisfied with the education system and the high level of professionalism of the teaching staff and the school administration. The quality of teaching here, in my opinion, is one of the best in Moscow. Children like teachers, they skillfully motivate them to achieve high results in their studies. The most important quality of teachers, in addition to professional qualifications, I consider their obvious sincerity and goodwill in communicating with children.

The control of children's learning is carried out here daily, this is facilitated by a conveniently designed glider. Every six months, children take exams. We learn about the success of children both by marks in the glider, and by the curator's reports, and by test scores. Curators know their students, their rhythm of learning and are very attentive to all the problems and tasks of children. We see the success of our son, and we are very pleased with his studies at the Algorithm school.

We would like to especially note the Russian language teacher Elena Petrovna. Her professionalism and pedagogical skill had an exceptionally favorable effect on our child. Elena Petrovna managed to motivate Rama's desire to study Russian language and literature. Being professional teachers ourselves, we evaluate the work of Elena Petrovna as worthy of an example to follow. Each lesson was carefully prepared by her. All the individual characteristics of the child were taken into account, homework is always selected taking into account the possibilities and specifics of thinking.

Rama before Elena Petrovna had a rejection of the subjects “Russian language” and “literature”. Now the child reads a lot and with pleasure, he has an interest in writing essays. Rama aspires to online classes conducted by Elena Petrovna, communicates with pleasure on the topics of the subjects she teaches. We express our sincere gratitude to Elena Petrovna for her love and care for our child.

The main advantage of distance learning in Algorithm compared to a traditional school is the ability to independently plan and manage time. Alternative education should be chosen by those parents who are ready to seriously invest in the education of children, in their future. At the same time, the children themselves should understand that this form of education will require a lot of independent work, they should set a clear goal related to the choice of a profession that they dream of acquiring.

Dear teachers and school leaders! I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for the tremendous work that you are doing so that modern, effective and interesting educational tools are available to children. Children are different, everyone has their own characteristics, their strengths, which the current education system does not always allow to reveal. And your technique helps to focus on knowledge that is really important for each child. Thanks from me and my son! If today I myself were so old as to go to your school, I would go without hesitation! To everyone who wants education to become not an imposed boring and unpleasant obligation, but an interesting and valuable thing, to which it is worth instilling love for life, I recommend sending the child to your school.

I am sure that this is the only way to learn today - saving time, effort and working at your own pace. Before joining Algorithm, we changed several schools, we even had the experience of studying abroad, but it was in your school that we found what we were looking for - a high level of teaching, a comfortable format and strong programs in the necessary disciplines. Children are interested in learning here, and your teachers are truly authoritative teachers for children.

Alexandra P., student's mother

We chose the Algorithm school 2 years ago, respectively, we studied the 9th and 10th grades, this year we will finish the 11th and take the exam. My daughter is professionally involved in sports, and training is our priority, which is why distance learning attracted us. But knowing how difficult it is for a child to organize himself, I chose a part-time form of education.

In the ninth grade, 6 subjects were taught full-time, in the 10th grade - 4, those that we take for the exam. For the last two years, we chose the 10+ form, that is, in a year we completed the program of grades 10 and 11, and this year we will prepare only for those subjects that are needed for admission.

I really like that not only school teachers who are USE experts, which means they can prepare students well for the USE, but also university teachers who can prepare the child for additional university entrance tests, teach. You can always choose convenient groups for classes or go to a group with a teacher you like. To be honest, I was afraid that studying would be just a formality, but it's not. There are also homework assignments that are checked, tests and tests for each subject. Due to the small number of students in groups, everything is under the close attention of the teacher. At the same time, classes are not every day, homework is given for a week. That is, it becomes possible to plan your own time.

The administration resolves all issues promptly, both remotely and in person. Always ready to help, offer different options for solving emerging issues. Total: the ability to plan your time, a clearly defined scope of tasks, a new level of independence and responsibility of the child, since the format is more reminiscent of a university one, there are no nannies, but they will help, if there is a desire.

"Algorithm" fully met our expectations, and we would like to continue to study with you next year. We express our gratitude to the administration for the excellent work. We are very pleased that for a whole year we were together with such wonderful teachers as Elena Petrovna, Tatyana Viktorovna, Sergey Pavlovich.

I want to thank your team! We spent the academic year in a calm environment and were able to achieve our goal. Communication with you has always been constructive. All issues that arose were resolved promptly. We were also pleased with the results of such training. We will recommend you to friends and acquaintances. Good luck, patience and further success in your work!

I thank you and the entire RBS Algorithm team for fruitful cooperation. You have helped us a lot. Thanks to your technologies, Serezha was able to catch up with the entire program elementary school and it will now be much easier for him to continue his studies in high school. I wish prosperity and success to your project!

Anastasia P., student's mother

I am the mother of Polina, a student of the 1st grade. We like you! We will continue to study with you next year (2nd grade) in the same form of study. Thanks to the approach, methods and teachers of your school, I have a healthy, inquisitive child who likes to learn.

Polina is registered at the local school, and what she learned in the first grade is taught in the second grade at our school. So we go on an accelerated program and pass the exams three times: 1) when moving from elementary to high school 2) then to high school 3) final exams.

Polina's main success is this: Polina herself decided to learn English, chose the courses herself, passed the test herself and signed up for classes, left the phone. They called me from the English school and said: “Are you Polina's mother? She passed the test with us and left your phone. I didn't know anything about it. I liked the act, free and fearless (I know other opinions on this subject, but I would have done the same in her place).

What is family education

Family education is the education of the child according to the programs of the general school, organized by the parents. At the end of the basic school or upon reaching the age of 18, you can master the program of grades 10-11 on your own - in the form of self-education. In Moscow schools, since 2013, it is also possible to study full-time, part-time and part-time, reducing the number of full-time classes at school. Regardless of the form of education, all students have the right to free midterm school assessment (externship), the right to use the school library and other general rights of schoolchildren.

Homeschooling at Algorithm Center

Depending on the choice of the form of education and relations with the school and the Algorithm programs you have chosen, you can study with us completely, online (at an online school), full-time - in one of our training centers located in the center of Moscow, or by combining face-to-face classes in these learning centers with online classes on our learning portal. All classes are held individually or in groups of up to 12 people.

Our programs are online and offline.

We offer:

  • school curriculum from grades 1 to 11
  • preparation in all subjects for the OGE and the USE
  • additional and in-depth coursework in individual subjects,
  • with the final certification for the GSCE and A-level programs in our examination center in Moscow (international external student)
  • parallel training in Russian and international British and American school programs (for example, preparation for the OGE and GSCE)

All programs are accompanied by a personal curator.

About certification

All "homeworkers" undergo mandatory regular intermediate certification by an external student at the Center's partner schools - in all subjects included in the mandatory component of the curriculum. "Algorithm" provides constant consulting and organizational and legal support in all relations with the external school, on all issues of training and certification. We take the British international exams GSCE and A-level in Moscow, in our examination center for the international external study "Algorithm", accredited by Pearson Edexcel International.

How to switch to family education

According to the Law "On Education ...", you only need to "notify the local government municipal district or city district. However, of course, serious preparation for this crucial step - the organization " parent school” - requires careful planning and consultation in a family education center - for example, in our Algorithm.

METHODOLOGICAL WORK

At the same time, it is necessary to strive to simulate actions in an environment as close as possible to specific production conditions; holding conversations of the meeting, formulation and adoption of a decision on a collective complaint, preparation of the proposed event;

GAME MODEL

The object of the simulation of the business game is the team of the food department.

To conduct a business game, you must select the following characters:

    Central store manager

    Chairman of the trade union committee of the store

    Head of food department

    Seller leader.

The remaining students are divided into sellers who signed the complaint and sellers who did not sign the complaint.

The analysis of the conflict situation takes place in an auditorium designed as a manager's office. In the office, tables are arranged in the shape of the letter "T". In the center of the table sits the “manager”, on the right side is the “chairman of the trade union committee”, on the left is the “head. department."

INITIAL DATA OF THE BUSINESS GAME

The manager received a complaint from the sellers of the food department with the following content: (the complaint is read by the manager) “We earnestly ask the supermarket administration to remove the head of the department, since we can no longer work under his leadership. Productivity and efficiency of work largely depends on a good working mood. And our working day begins with scandals, with the analysis of slander, a five-minute usually turns into a half-hour "bazaar". The conversation is not about shortcomings in the work, but about everyday issues that are not relevant to the case. Therefore, we often do not know where to start the working day.

The head of the department does not conduct proper work with senior salespeople, does not give them a specific task for the shift. It happens that the seller of goods unknown to him, which he encounters for the first time. This reduces the quality of customer service, increases the time required to communicate with the buyer, which entails a decrease in the volume of sales of goods and turnover.

The head of the department poorly provides the process of selling goods. Sometimes several times he has to be reminded that there is no proper inventory and tools.

At the end of the month, as a rule, the results of the work of the team and each seller separately are not carried out, which discourages employees. A difficult critical situation has developed in the team, an unfavorable socio-psychological climate that can affect the stability of the team, causes staff turnover and, as a result, a sharp decrease in economic indicators and the efficiency of the department.

Signature of 10 people.

THEIR CHARACTERISTICS

(the teacher reads, the students have copies of assignments on the tables,

information, characteristics)

INFORMATION AND TASK FOR THE MANAGER

In the process of fulfilling the role, the manager is not a supporter of the removal of the head of the department from his post, but a collective complaint is a serious signal that cannot be ignored, rumors about the complaint have already reached the administration of the company. The manager needs to make a decision. In his actions acting as a manager should be guided by the knowledge of psychology and management.

The task for the manager is to highlight the economic and socio-psychological factors that contributed to the conflict in the content of the collective complaint.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MANAGER OF THE DEPARTMENT

Age 45, married, has 2 children. Five years ago he graduated from the correspondence department of the Institute of Economics. He has been working at this enterprise for 12 years, in the department for 9 years. He grew from a salesman to a department manager. He was repeatedly awarded with valuable gifts and prizes. The head of the department has been working for the third year. During this time, the composition of the team led by him changed by one third. Of the four senior salesmen, two are of considerable age. In general, the team works unevenly. This has become especially noticeable in the last year. There are cases of absenteeism, violations of production discipline. At meetings of the trade union committee, conflicts between sellers were discussed twice. The issue of the work of the team was considered at a meeting of the supermarket team in the presence of a representative of the company's administration. This representative proposed to the manager, the chairman of the trade union committee and the head of the department to take measures to normalize the situation in the department.

The head of the department in dealing with people is gentle, friendly, avoids quarrels and disputes. Painfully endures all troubles. He asks and convinces more than he demands and commands.

Conscientious, honest. Highly developed sense of responsibility Six months ago, he filed an application with a request to dismiss him from his post as department head.

Senior salespeople fulfill their duties, but each of them tends to limit himself to the interests of his shift only. They do not participate in the unification and cohesion of the entire team as a whole. In fact, the head of the department turned out to be without assistants in the team.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TEAM

The department employs 25 people. The workers are quite young: the eldest is 32 years old. The earnings of the majority are relatively high, despite the economic situation in the country.

There is no particular desire in the team to rationalize and improve trade and technological processes, use modern methods of customer service, and improve the organization of work. Everyone relates to work without initiative, there have been cases of shortages of cash and inventory.

The department has its own informal leader - one of the most experienced salesmen, whom the head of the department trusts completely. Makes important decisions with him.

Until the last year, the informal leader enjoyed the trust of the entire team, but then conflicts began to arise between him and the team. From this moment on, the team changes its attitude towards the head of the department.

INFORMATION FOR PERFORMANCES

ROLES OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE TRADE COMMITTEE

The department head is your personal friend, you treat him very well, appreciate in him a specialist and a charming person, a collectivist in the best sense of the word. It was you who initiated the nomination of his department head.

The current situation in the team makes you very sad, and you are at a crossroads, on the one hand, you cannot but admit the facts of the collapse of work at the site, on the other hand, you sincerely feel sorry for this person who no one helped to become a good leader.

In addition, you understand that the removal of the head of the department can now have a negative impact on the team: they know him, are used to him, although they use his gentleness and inability to be strict. At the same time, the interests of the commodity department require decisive action.

INFORMATION FOR THE CONTRACTOR

It seems to you that misunderstandings have arisen due to the fact that somehow deliberately creates the ground for conflicts and clashes, but you know who is "muddying the waters." In addition, it is difficult for you to be a boss - you simply do not know how to command and prefer to be on an equal footing with people. You were not happy when you were appointed head of the department, repeatedly asked to be relieved of these duties, and finally wrote a statement about this, but the manager refused. Now the situation has become even more aggravated, and you are determined to demand dismissal.

DISCUSSION OF INFORMATION AND DECISION-MAKING

In the process of discussing information, the head of the department, the chairman of the trade union committee, and the manager first act. The manager turns to the sellers to speak out on the merits. Each of the speakers speaks out and puts forward their ideas for resolving the conflict situation.

The final decision on a collective complaint is made by the manager.

IV. EVALUATION OF ACTIONS OF PARTICIPANTS OF THE GAME AND ITS

RESULTS

After the end of the staging, formulation and justification of the decision of the manager on a collective complaint, the participants of the lesson, under the guidance of a teacher, discuss and evaluate the actions of the participants in the game, noting the advantages and disadvantages, evaluate the decision made by the manager, as well as the decision of the chairman of the trade union committee.

One of the important requirements in this case is the students' argumentation of their assessments and, if possible, the proposal of their own options for actions and solutions.

As a result of the discussion, the most acceptable and legitimate procedure for the participants in the business game under the proposed conditions is determined, the participants of the lesson evaluate from their point of view:

the ability to correctly understand the current situation, analyze facts and events;

The correctness of the actions of each participant in the game;

The clarity and logical relationship of the actions of the participants in the game at various stages;

    the manner of behavior and style of work of the participants in the game;

    the correctness and objectivity of the decisions made by the participants in the game;

GAME MODEL

The object of the simulation of the business game is the team of the food department.

To conduct a business game, you must select the following characters:

1. Manager of the central store

2. Chairman of the trade union committee of the store

In the center of the table sits the “manager”, on the right side is the “chairman of the trade union committee”, on the left is the “head. department."

INITIAL DATA OF THE BUSINESS GAME

The manager received a complaint from the sellers of the food department with the following content: (the complaint is read by the manager) “We earnestly ask the supermarket administration to remove the head of the department, since we can no longer work under his leadership. Productivity and efficiency of work largely depends on a good working mood. And our working day begins with scandals, with the analysis of slander, a five-minute usually turns into a half-hour "bazaar". The conversation is not about shortcomings in the work, but about everyday issues that are not relevant to the case. Therefore, we often do not know where to start the working day.

Head the department does not conduct proper work with senior salespeople, does not give them a specific task for the shift. It happens that the seller of goods unknown to him, which he encounters for the first time. This reduces the quality of customer service, increases the time required to communicate with the buyer, which entails a decrease in the volume of sales of goods and turnover.

Head department poorly provides the process of selling goods. Sometimes several times he has to be reminded that there is no proper inventory and tools.


At the end of the month, as a rule, the results of the work of the team and each seller separately are not carried out, which discourages employees. A difficult critical situation has developed in the team, an unfavorable socio-psychological climate that can affect the stability of the team, causes staff turnover and, as a result, a sharp decrease in economic indicators and the efficiency of the department.

Signature of 10 people.

information, characteristics)

INFORMATION AND TASK FOR THE MANAGER

The manager needs to make a decision. In his actions acting as a manager should be guided by the knowledge of psychology and management.

The task for the manager is to highlight the economic and socio-psychological factors that contributed to the conflict in the content of the collective complaint.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MANAGER OF THE DEPARTMENT

Age 45, married, has 2 children. Five years ago he graduated from the correspondence department of the Institute of Economics. He has been working at this enterprise for 12 years, in the department for 9 years. He grew from a salesman to a department manager. He was repeatedly awarded with valuable gifts and prizes. The head of the department has been working for the third year. During this time, the composition of the team led by him changed by one third. Of the four senior salesmen, two are of considerable age. In general, the team works unevenly. This has become especially noticeable in the last year. There are cases of absenteeism, violations of production discipline. At meetings of the trade union committee, conflicts between sellers were discussed twice. The issue of the work of the team was considered at a meeting of the supermarket team in the presence of a representative of the company's administration. This representative suggested the manager, the chairman of the trade union committee and the head. department to take measures to normalize the situation in the department.

Head department in dealing with people is soft, friendly, avoids quarrels, disputes. Painfully endures all troubles. He asks and convinces more than he demands and commands.

Conscientious, honest. Highly developed sense of responsibility Six months ago, he filed an application with a request to dismiss him from his post as department head.

Senior salespeople fulfill their duties, but each of them tends to limit himself to the interests of his shift only. They do not participate in the unification and cohesion of the entire team as a whole. In fact, the head of the department turned out to be without assistants in the team.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TEAM

The department employs 25 people. The workers are quite young: the eldest is 32 years old. The earnings of the majority are relatively high, despite the economic situation in the country.

There is no particular desire in the team to rationalize and improve trade and technological processes, use modern methods of customer service, and improve the organization of work. Everyone relates to work without initiative, there have been cases of shortages of cash and inventory.

The department has its own informal leader - one of the most experienced salesmen, whom the head of the department trusts completely. Makes important decisions with him.

Until the last year, the informal leader enjoyed the trust of the entire team, but then conflicts began to arise between him and the team. From this moment on, the team changes its attitude towards the head of the department.

INFORMATION FOR THE CONTRACTOR

It seems to you that misunderstandings have arisen due to the fact that somehow deliberately creates the ground for conflicts and clashes, but you know who is "muddying the waters."

You were not happy when you were appointed head of the department, repeatedly asked to be relieved of these duties, and finally wrote a statement about this, but the manager refused. Now the situation has become even more aggravated, and you are determined to demand dismissal.

I recently played this game with exactly the same rules. There really is no end goal. In addition, it is difficult to play, since many moments of the story itself have not been worked out, and it is impossible to work through (invent) them all in advance.

We use this "alaverda" exercise suggested by Rost.
Instead of a coach, a participant is in the role of a client.
Main goal: to get "feedback" from a complaining customer, i.e. determine how the conflict can be resolved.
And so everything is the same.

The purpose of the business game is obtaining and developing skills in working with young workers and specialists, taking into account the requirements of the ethics of relationships between the manager and subordinates.

Production situation

Leonid Kovshov, a vocational school graduate, came to the Stroydetal plant half an hour before his shift. The day before, in the personnel department, he was given the phone number of the master of the reinforcing shop, on the site of which he was to work. For about 10 minutes he tried to get through to the checkpoint, until, finally, he found the master on the spot. "Sent to me? he asked. - In 10 minutes, a planning meeting, come to this time, ”and hung up. The plant was large, unfamiliar. Only 15 minutes later Kovshov found his workshop and site. All the workers had already received their assignments, and he only heard how the foreman “tune” everyone to perform an urgent task, now persuading, now threatening. When everyone left, the master noticed the newcomer: “Ah, is that you? Let's go to the machine."

They made their way through the workshop for a long time until they came to the machine, which stood somewhat to the side. The shavings around him were not removed, the tools were scattered, but the machine (it could be seen) was new.

  • - What, you had to work on this?
  • - Not...
  • - Brand new, received only three months. You see, we trust you right away. That's just not lucky for those who worked here before you. The day before yesterday I went to dinner, and from there - to the hospital. For now, stay in his place, and when he returns, we'll see. You tidy up here for now, prepare the machine, and I’ll run to the head of the shop for 20 minutes, then we’ll talk about what’s what.

The newcomer readily began to clean up, collected the chips, laid out the tool. But when he was sweeping the floor, he was startled by a sharp whistle: he was almost run over by an electric car. After that, Kovshov kept looking around with apprehension. He had already noticed that it was necessary to beware not only of the electric car, but also of the crane, which often scurried overhead. The master returned half an hour later.

So, you say, you never worked on such a machine? Then listen. - And he began to tell what a good machine it is, on what principle its operation is based, what are the parameters and characteristics, how to take care of the machine, periodically asking: “Clear? Understandably?" - Kovshov timidly agreed. Satisfied with such a detailed and intelligible, in his opinion, conversation, the master patted the beginner encouragingly on the shoulder: “Well, begin. There are enough blanks for you, but you can ask Terentyich about the tool. The novice wanted to ask who Terentyich was and where to find him, but he did not dare, and the master would not have heard him.

The work went well, but out of habit, he still cut his finger. I wanted to ask where I could get the dressing done, but again I did not dare: everyone was concentrated - the task was urgent, not up to it. Somehow he tied his finger with a handkerchief and again set to work.

I broke away from the machine unexpectedly - I noticed that there was less noise. Judging by the time, dinner began and everyone left without it. While he was looking for a dining room, lunch was over.

At 4 p.m. Kovshov was about to turn in his work (as a teenager he worked an hour less), but the master was not in sight. The foreman approached him only at the end of the working day, checked the work done, praised him and immediately hurried, referring to worries: “Your shift is over, but I have an irregular day.” Kovshov had many questions: how much he had earned, what kind of work would be tomorrow, but he did not dare to bother with these petty things, to tear the master away from more important ones, especially since he was already far away, and all the workers had dispersed. There was nothing else to do but go home with your questions. And what will happen tomorrow?
