Those who cut their salaries to go to state-owned enterprises now regret it
When older programmers in their 30s are in a dilemma, a high-paying position in a large factory and a stable position in a state-owned enterprise are in front of them, and many people will choose the latter. They are willing to cut their salaries by more than 50% in order to have a secure job. But after actually joining the state-owned enterprises, they found that this place is far from being as beautiful as they imagined.
Master Li is one such programmer. At the age of thirty, he was faced with a difficult choice. On one side is a high-paying position in an Internet company, although the work is busy, the annual salary is as high as 420,000;On the other side is the programming position of a state-owned enterprise, although the annual salary is only 180,000 yuan, but the job is stable and the pressure is low. After struggling for a long time, Master Li still chose a state-owned enterprise because he felt that he couldn't bear the fast pace of Internet companies.
When he first entered the state-owned enterprise, Master Li was immersed in a relaxed and comfortable working atmosphere. He no longer has to work overtime until the wee hours of the morning, nor does he have to deal with huge performance pressures. However, the good times did not last long, and a year later, Master Li found that the state-owned enterprises were also quietly changing
Overtime is no longer occasional, but the norm. The middle managers of each department took the lead in working overtime until 8 p.m., and the employees at the bottom could only follow up passively. Sometimes the company has an emergency matter, and overtime and all-night work has become commonplace. Master Li couldn't help but sigh, what about the state-owned enterprises and the previous leisure?
The intensity of the work is getting stronger. In order to improve productivity, the company has recently reduced many employees, but the workload has not decreased in the slightest. Master Li's work at hand was originally shared between him and another colleague, but now he is doing it all alone. Faced with a sudden surge in work, Master Li often felt powerless.
There is little room for promotion. In the past, as long as you worked diligently and did things step by step, it was only a matter of time before you were promoted. But now that the performance appraisal system has been implemented, if Master Li's work results are ranked at the bottom of the employee list, don't think about promotion and salary increase. The competitive pressure came all at once.
All these changes are due to the reform of state-owned enterprises. Since the reform and opening up, the market competition faced by state-owned enterprises has become more and more fierce, and if they do not reform, they will be left far behind by their competitors. As a result, many state-owned enterprises have to follow the example of Internet companies, increase work intensity, implement a performance appraisal system, and keep pace with the times.
Master Li found that he fled from an Internet company to a state-owned enterprise, but in the end he still couldn't escape lean management, performance appraisal, and involution culture. He began to regret quitting his high-paying job in a large factory, because he couldn't get out of high-intensity work no matter how much he was in **.
In fact, state-owned enterprises still have their own advantages. Although Master Li often works overtime, he has never been in arrears of wages. Every holiday, the company will also send some gifts or cash gifts. These are all incomparable to private companies.
In addition, state-owned enterprises provide a good promotion channel. Master Li found that the supervisors of his department all started from the grassroots level, and only after years of training did he rise step by step. If he has determination and patience, he can still make a difference in the cause of state-owned enterprises.
After careful consideration, Master Li decided to continue to persevere. He must adjust his mentality and adapt to the work rhythm of state-owned enterprises. Set ambitious goals for yourself and bring your work back to fun. After all, the choice has only been made for a year, and it is still too early to fight against the odds. As long as they work hard to do their jobs well, state-owned enterprises can still achieve extraordinary careers.
All in all, those who choose to go to state-owned enterprises to reduce their salaries regret it to a certain extent. But as long as you are determined to adapt to change, with diligence and perseverance, state-owned enterprises can still achieve a career. The key is to adjust the mindset and find the meaning of work, rather than just comparing the differences between state-owned enterprises and Internet companies.
