Foxconn has got Apple's big order again. Why can't it recruit workers?

We all know that. As the world's largest 3C-generation factory, Foxconn produces Apple mobile phones and computers, which cannot be separated from the day-to-day assembly of ordinary front-line workers. Behind the high-intensity work, their wages are not brilliant.

Anyone who has worked in a factory knows that the basic salary of ordinary front-line workers is the local minimum wage, and the only way to get high income is to work overtime. In 58 cities, we found a job for Foxconn, mainly in the assembly and assembly of Apple mobile phones, tablets and smart watches.

According to the salary description above, if you want to get a salary of 4,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan, you need to work 10 hours every day, and you must give up weekends. At the same time, Foxconn will provide employees with accommodation and canteen meal cards, and will also hold a variety of cultural and sports activities for employees as holiday benefits. Although the salary of 5,000 yuan looks good, only ordinary workers can work overtime day and night, which just exposes the real reason why Foxconn can't recruit people.

I believe many people will have questions. Foxconn has been working overtime day and night upside down. Why can't it recruit people now? In fact, this is a process of changing ideas. After the reform and opening up, assembly line production methods have sprung up. The assembly line production mode attaches workers to the production line to form a unified production process, which greatly improves production efficiency. This will inevitably lead to the need for a lot of manpower to achieve production.

At the same time, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, the income levels in different places were different. Migrant workers enter big cities to work, hoping to create better material living conditions for their families through efforts. Therefore, migrant workers born in the sixties and seventies are more likely to accept working on the assembly line for a long time.

Now, ordinary workers born in the sixties and seventies have reached a certain age, or have completed the mission of supporting their children. Foxconn's workforce has been transformed into post-80s and post-90s. Most of the post-80s and post-90s children are post-60s and post-70s. They have lived in a high-quality living environment created by their parents since childhood, and their thinking and concepts will be more advanced, and they will pay more attention to the working environment. They can't accept simple and boring production line work.

The external factor is that with the transformation of China's economic development mode, the profits of labor-intensive industries are actually getting lower and lower. After all, corporate profits are low, and it is difficult to give employees higher wages. However, with the improvement of people's living standards and prices, low wages have been difficult to meet the needs of daily life. From this, we can often see that people on the Internet are often voicing all kinds of bad things about Foxconn. It can be seen that resentment is accumulated under long-term dissatisfaction with the enterprise.
