Retirement is a turning point in everyone's life, meaning the end of many years of working life and the beginning of a stage of leisure and enjoyment. However, the amount of pension varies depending on the nature of the ownership of the unit. For example, after the provincial research institute where I worked was restructured from a public institution to a state-owned enterprise, my pension was more than 3,000 yuan less than that of a public institution. This change made me deeply feel the importance of unit ownership, and I realized the mystery of destiny.
As a graduate of a teacher training college, I had planned to work my way up as a teacher. However, at work, I came across a colleague who took a graduate exam and was successfully accepted, which sparked my urge to further my knowledge. So, I also decided to take the graduate exam and was finally accepted into an engineering school. This transformation has transformed me from a glorious teacher who went to the city from a peasant kid to an engineering researcher at a provincial research institute. I have made more than ordinary efforts, and by studying the business and undertaking projects, I have obtained the title of senior engineer and the honor of receiving the ** special allowance. At one point, I felt that my career was going smoothly and everything was so good.
However, the turning point of fate does not seem to stop at the stage where I enjoy the fruits of my career. The institute was restructured and transformed from a public institution to a state-owned enterprise. Although there was no significant change in salary income at first, the remuneration package gradually increased over time. Just as I was immersed in the glory moments of my career, a fact that could not be ignored emerged - I retired in October 2021, and I realized the impact of the different nature of the unit on the individual.
Because the graduate school belongs to the company, I retired as a company, but the pension was not satisfactory. Compared with retirees from public institutions with the same qualifications, my pension is more than 3,000 yuan less. Whenever I sit with my old colleagues and make small talk, the topic of pensions always comes up in the middle of our conversations. Each of us is full of emotion, life is like the interweaving of fortune and fate, we can't choose, we can only accept. Despite the unfairness of the pension amount, we know that if we work hard, we can live in peace and happiness in our old age.
After retiring, I am even happier to live. Although the pension is relatively low, it is enough to meet my daily living needs. I can enjoy my food, watch TV series and movies with my family, and have more time to catch up with friends and travel to relax. I cherish this precious time very much. Retirement is not the end of life, but the beginning of another. Through self-adjustment and a positive mindset, I was able to live a happy and contented old age.
In my personal opinion, there is indeed a certain unfairness in the impact of the nature of unit ownership on individual pensions. Factors such as the system, resources, and policies on which different units are based will directly affect the treatment of individuals. In addition, I realized that the change of workplace does not change my talents and abilities, but only affects my salary and benefits. Therefore, we should pay more attention to the internal cultivation of individuals and the improvement of their own professional ability, so as to be invincible in different environments. Retirement does not mean that I will be left alone, I still have many plans and dreams to achieve, and I believe that as long as I continue to work hard, my life will still be full of excitement and hope. My past experiences and experiences have made me have a more positive attitude towards life, and I believe that everyone will find their own happiness on their own path.
