The subway is one of the ideal jobs in the minds of many college students, however, this is not the case. The salaries of subway employees are not high, or even unacceptably low. Among the various positions in the subway, positions such as security inspectors and conductors are relatively idle, but the salaries are not high. Since most of the employees in these positions are dispatched from three parties and do not have a formal establishment, the salaries are low.
For example, a netizen who worked as a security inspector at a subway station said that after working for three years, his monthly salary was only more than 3,000 yuan at first, but now it has risen to 4,600 yuan. The working hours are from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. after the subway stops at night, and I can only take a short break on the cold tiled floor of the subway station. These employees are recruited by third-party companies, and no one can get tens of thousands of salaries. Although being able to work in the subway is relatively decent in the eyes of many people, the employees who are dispatched to work do not earn much.
In addition to the subway, many state-owned enterprises, central enterprises and public institutions also use the form of dispatch to hire graduates. However, graduates who enter on a secondment basis do not have many opportunities to become regulars. The starting salary and package of graduates hired by dispatch are different from those of regular employees, and employers reduce employment costs in this way. Graduates hired on a secondment basis earn less than regular employees, but they take on a lot of work. When something happens, they are put on the front line and become scapegoats. Faced with the pressure of busy work but meager pay, there are not many graduates who can persevere.
For college students, salary is one of the important factors when considering a job. After graduates enter the workforce, they need to bear all the expenses themselves, and they can no longer rely on the financial support of their parents. Due to the cost of living, college students often have certain requirements for salary and are reluctant to accept low-paying jobs.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the main expenses in the life of college students, and these expenses need to be paid with the money they earn. As a result, college students have higher expectations of salary and will abandon lower-paying jobs. For the low salary of subway dispatch employees, college students should carefully consider when choosing whether to work in the subway. Although the employment environment is not optimistic, the quality of life of college students after work is also an important factor.
The low wages of subway dispatch workers have triggered a wave of resignations from a large number of employees, which once again highlights the difficulty of finding employment for college students. Low salaries are not only a problem for subway dispatch employees, but also a common problem faced by many graduates who are hired in the form of dispatch. When looking for a job, college students need to make reasonable decisions by weighing their own value, cost of living, and other factors.
While low-paying jobs may offer some opportunities for experience and exercise, how to balance work pay and quality of life is a question that needs serious consideration for college students who aspire to live a decent life. We hope that employers can provide better treatment and development space, and provide better employment opportunities for college students.
In the current employment situation, college students should also be psychologically prepared, not only to seek opportunities by submitting resumes, but also to continuously improve their quality and ability to increase their employment competitiveness. We hope that our society can give more choices to college students, so that every graduate can find a decent job and get the rewards they deserve.
