Not long ago, I went to visit my uncle, who was depressed and worried me. So I sat down next to him and asked softly, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Did you encounter any difficulties? If you need to, just let me know that while I may not be able to help much, I can at least take some of your worries out of it. The uncle shook his head with a bitter face and said, "It's okay, even if there is, you kid can't solve it." ”
Later, I gradually understood my uncle's distress. As a contractor, he had a batch of projects waiting to start after the New Year, but his workers left one after another, leaving him in a dilemma of lack of manpower. Seeing that the project can only be handed over to others, the anxiety in my uncle's heart can be imagined. That night, he took my hand and poured out his inner anguish. Slightly drunk, he said more: "Why are you so sad these days? ”
It turned out that the uncle paid the workers a daily wage of 120 yuan. He calculated that in a month, the workers could earn at least 3,600 yuan. However, after listening to this number, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. No wonder my uncle can't recruit people, this salary level is indeed too low. I advised him, "Uncle, don't give 120 yuan at all." Now working on the construction site, how can I get about 200 yuan a day. You give them a salary of 250 yuan a day, so you can definitely recruit people. The uncle's eyes widened and he said angrily, "What are you kidding! 250 yuan a day, how can I afford it? Even if I can give it, I only earn 50 yuan for a foreman, is there such a contract foreman? I smiled and didn't say anything more. My uncle himself knew that this level of salary was really unattractive.
In fact, some construction sites are indeed facing the problem of labor shortage. Sometimes there is even a strange phenomenon that a large number of migrant workers cannot find jobs on the one hand, and there is no recruitment on the construction site. The reason for this is nothing more than low wages, poor working environment and other factors. In my fourth-tier city, the average worker's daily wage on the construction site should start at least 150 yuan. If it is a high-risk job such as aerial work, the daily salary is as high as 400 yuan. Because workers know the value of their labor, they know how much they can earn for a hard day on the construction site. If the salary is lower than they expected, they would rather choose other job opportunities.
However, a contractor like my uncle is not alone. In order to reduce costs, many contract foremen will use various means to squeeze the wages of workers. The promised high salaries often end up being a dead letter. The workers are not stupid, they have been on the construction site for many years, and they have long known everything about the **. If the contractor can't even afford a reasonable wage, then why should they work for it?
In addition to the issue of wages, the office environment is also one of the important factors influencing workers' choices. In my city, there was a construction site where employees were leaving one after another because of the poor office environment. The office was tossed to a miasma, and employees had to wear thick masks to work. However, even so, their masks are still stained with a thick layer of dust when they are removed. Naturally, such an office environment made employees unbearable and finally chose to leave.
Therefore, for the contractor and the boss of the company, instead of complaining about the inability to recruit workers or the serious turnover of employees, it is better to reflect on whether their treatment and conditions are attractive enough. If higher wages, better benefits and a more comfortable working environment can be provided, I believe that more workers will naturally be willing to work for it. After all, employees want more than just a job, but also respect and recognition.
