Abstract: A few days ago, a document on the "well-known construction state-owned enterprise - Hefei Construction Engineering Group Personnel Optimization Program" was disseminated on the Internet platform, and the monthly income of the optimized personnel may be less than 1,000, which has aroused widespread attention and discussion inside and outside the industry.
According to industry sources, the well-known construction state-owned enterprise - Hefei Construction Engineering Group is suspected of optimizing personnel, and one of the optimization documents signed for Hefei Construction Engineering Group has been spread on the Internet platform, causing a lot of controversy. According to the content of the document, affected by external pressures such as Evergrande's debt crisis and the overall downturn in the real estate market, Hefei Construction Engineering Group has had extremely difficult production and operation since 2022. After careful consideration by the company's management, it was decided to arrange some employees to enter the state of standby from March 1, 2024. Employees who are assigned to work need to complete the work handover before March 5, and do not need to come to the company to sign in and check in after the handover until the company's operation returns to a good state.
It is worth mentioning that in the above-mentioned optimization document, Hefei Construction Engineering Group also mentioned the salary of employees who are waiting for work. According to the content of the document, the deadline for this standby is December 31, 2024, and the company will pay the normal salary in the first month of standby; Starting from the second month of waiting for work, the company will pay it according to the local minimum wage standard of 2,060 yuan per month, and deduct personal social security and provident fund from the salary; If the salary of the employee on the job is less than 924 yuan, it will be paid according to 924 yuan. It has to be said that the monthly salary of 924 yuan is indeed very low, and it is even difficult to maintain basic survival. For employees, whether to stay on the job or find another way has become a new choice.
According to public information, Hefei Construction Engineering Group is a state-owned construction enterprise, which was once affiliated to Anliang Group, and in 2018, it became one of the member enterprises of Conch Group, one of the world's top 500 enterprises. As a large state-owned enterprise, it is unbelievable that it needs employees to stay on duty to relieve the pressure on its business.
In fact, Hefei Construction Engineering Group's "special situation" is not unique. In 2023, a state-owned construction company in the south issued a notice saying that the company was struggling, and encouraged employees to start their own businesses to maximize their income. At that time, many people did not care about this, thinking that the construction industry would not reach this point. However, with the outflow of Hefei Construction Engineering Group's employee optimization plan, the industry and outside the industry have begun to worry about the prospects of the construction industry. All kinds of signs show that the first period of the construction industry has ended, and the industry winter will follow.
According to data released by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development at the beginning of 2023, there are about 600 million buildings in China; Another statistical office** revealed that there are enough houses in the country to live in 1.4 billion people. In other words, today's real estate market is in a state of oversupply, and major real estate companies are facing a certain degree of inventory pressure. Against this backdrop, the real estate market will gradually return to a rational state in order to absorb the pressure of existing inventory, that is, the number of new developments will decrease, and the related construction and design industries will also begin to face the pressure of overcapacity.
There are fears that the construction industry will disappear. In the author's view, the construction industry will not disappear, but will gradually clear the bubble and return to a more rational state of development. At the same time, the overabundance of talent in the construction industry is inevitable, and most practitioners have once again come to the crossroads of re-choice.
In 2023, when some colleges and universities began to cancel civil engineering majors, the glory of the construction industry has really come to an end.
