The first day of work after the new year was supposed to be an easy day, but under normal circumstances, there would be no work tasks in the first few days after the year.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes after arriving at the company, an urgent task was ushered in as soon as he sat down.
The general manager's ** hurried and direct: "There is a relative of Party A's leader who wants to join our company, you hurry up to prepare the relevant information of the subcontracting business, and he will come in half an hour." ”
It's a relative of the leader again", I shook my head. Such a scene has long been common for me who has been in the engineering industry for many years.
As a construction company, with years of experience accumulation, we have been shortlisted for many large companies, and we have more than 10 professional construction teams.
With the expansion of the company's scale, there are more and more "related households" who want to take a free ride and get a piece of the pie. In the face of these, the boss is often reluctant to accept it, after all, in business cooperation, the importance of interpersonal relationships is self-evident.
In the engineering industry, especially in construction enterprises, the existence of related households is a common phenomenon. From the old employees at the beginning of the company's establishment to the current front-line construction team, many of them have relied on relationships, acquaintances or leadership introductions to enter. This network-based business model largely determines the competitive landscape of the engineering industry.
In the past few years, the engineering industry has been booming and lucrative, attracting a large influx of contacts. Many people want to enter the industry through relationships and get a piece of the pie. At that time, even engineering-related professional qualifications, such as second-level constructors, could have an affiliation fee of up to a staggering 50,000 yuan a year.
However, with the recession of the real estate market, the engineering and construction industry is also declining. Even in such an environment, there are still people who spare no effort to join, which makes people feel how serious is the involution in the industry? How attractive are the profits in this industry? Or, in the face of the pressure of competition for jobs, what are people pursuing?
For those of us who work in the engineering industry, we know that work is not easy. But even so, when we see people who are anxious because they can't find a job or make money, we appreciate the job opportunity in front of us even more. After all, in this era of fierce competition, it is already a very happy thing to be able to have a stable job.
The engineering industry may be a world full of relationships and competition, but in this world, everyone is trying to find their place and pursue their own happiness and success. For those of us who are lucky, cherishing the present moment and working hard may be the best response to this world.
