Are the current design institutes all caught in the whirlpool of salary cuts?
In a design institute in Henan, a piece of paper, like a heavy stone, fell on the heart of every employee.
In order to welcome the unknown year of 2024, they decided to make drastic adjustments to the originally stable wage system from February.
The basic salary, which used to be the foundation of our life, is now like a cliff **50%, prepaid performance, that was our expectation.
Now it has vanished, leaving only the ethereal promise of performance-based pay, which is like the distant star, although it shines, but it is out of reach. For design employees, most of their income depends on the performance bonus, which is the hope of their life and the motivation for them to persist in their dreams.
However, the current performance calculation model is like a fog that makes people unpredictable.
The unclear workload statistics and the serious shrinkage of the engineering industry market have all made them face the dilemma of having more monks and less meat.
They toiled hard for a year, but in the end they couldn't even taste a mouthful of hot soup. The design industry, once a glamorous industry, is now like a frog in warm water, and although the water temperature is gradually rising, they cannot escape this dilemma.
Today, however, this dilemma seems to have reached its climax, and the design industry is being carried directly on the grill and facing unprecedented challenges. Those leaders, in order to force employees to leave voluntarily, are really painstaking.
They may forget that it is these employees who use their sweat and wisdom to create value for the company and bring progress to the industry.
Now, they are treating those employees who have contributed to the company in this way, which is really sad. Design, once a creative and passionate industry, may now be a vulnerable group in the industry.
Those leaders, perhaps, should reflect on the fact that their well-being is based on the hard work of their employees, and when they enjoy the results, should they also share some responsibility for the plight of their employees? Civil engineering, once a field full of challenges and opportunities, is now a bumpy life.
Those young people who once had dreams are now facing the pressure of life, can they still stick to their original intentions and continue to pay for this industry? The salary cut of the design institute is not only an impact on the lives of employees, but also a blow to the entire design industry.
It makes people wonder if the industry has a future, and if there is still value worth holding onto.
