Just as people favored state-owned and foreign companies in the past, the booming Internet companies are reshaping young people's understanding of "good jobs" in this era. High salaries, better benefits, and clear promotion paths have made “entering a big factory” the initial career concept of many young people.

Although there are no hard and fast rules, regardless of school recruitment or social recruitment, large companies prefer young people who are "985", "211", or have a background of studying abroad. For job seekers with academic qualifications such as "double non-degree", "second degree", and "college degree", unless they have extraordinary work experience advantages, academic qualifications are the first threshold for entering major Internet companies.

If you can’t get into a big factory through normal channels, working as an outsourcer for a big factory can be considered a way to save the country.

For many employees who work outsourced jobs in large companies, some feel embarrassed and regretful, while others feel that this is just a matter of what they and the large companies need.

"You all have the opportunity to become internal employees"

After being hired by Alibaba for an outsourcing position, Bai Yunyun hesitated for a long time whether to join the company.

She searched for the name of this outsourcing company on the Internet, and the answers she got were similar to what she had imagined. "The system is very deceiving," "there is little room for development," and "social security is very low." Some people directly said: "Don't outsource, it's a trap."

Bai Yunyun, 27, has a master's degree from a "Double-Africa" ??college in Chengdu. When she just graduated, she worked as an illustrator in a small local advertising company. Monthly salary is 6,000 yuan. More than a year later, Bai Yunyun decided to resign because she couldn't stand the frequent and irregular overtime work and expected higher wages. Major Internet companies have naturally become one of her job targets. Bai Yunyun applied for illustrator positions in various major manufacturers, but almost no news came from them.

In the end, she interviewed with an outsourcing company in Hangzhou, where she was hired as an outsourced illustrator for Alibaba. The voices on the Internet made her feel a little nervous, but in the end, the monthly salary of 15,000 yuan made Bai Yunyun make up her mind. "Even if it's outsourcing, it's closer to big factories than in other companies. Maybe there will be a chance to become a full-time employee?" Bai Yunyun thought to herself.

There are not a few people who hold this idea. Long Yan is an undergraduate graduate from a second university. After failing to apply to a large company, she also tried to interview for outsourcing with a large company. The HR of the outsourcing company once clearly told her: "There is an opportunity to become an internal employee. Many people here become regular employees every year." Although the salary was only 8,000 yuan, Long Yan decided to give it a try after hearing this.

Although job seekers all know that there must be complex business divisions within a large factory, and there are many differences between functional positions, they can all be collectively referred to as "working in a large factory." In people's word of mouth, it has its own aura and is synonymous with the future. This statement holds true even for outsourced employees.

After graduating in 2017, Qin Fen, who has a college degree, originally had no idea of ??working in a large factory. The interviews were all small and medium-sized enterprises. Until one day, he received an interview invitation on the recruitment software. , the other party vaguely said that he was an HR working with a large company, and invited him for an interview the next day. Qin Fen felt flattered. Even though he didn’t know much about the outsourcing company, the title of a big company was like a certification. After successfully passing the interview, he decisively accepted the job.

On the other hand, the Internet is also full of complaints about outsourcing from large companies: wages are compressed, people cannot enjoy the benefits of large companies, "second-class citizens" are not respected, and there is no room for development< /p>

Before Long Yan joined the company, her roommate told her that when she was working in an outsourcing position in a state-owned enterprise, she had encountered unfriendly treatment from regular employees, which made Long Yan feel a little nervous. "But I think as long as you have a correct attitude, none of this matters," she said.

Are outsourced jobs “second-class citizens”?

You can vaguely feel some differences between formal positions and outsourcing positions - on the first day of employment, no one took her to introduce herself, no one invited her to join the company group, Bai Yunyun received a work computer , started working at the work station.

The workstations outsourced by each major factory are also different. The outsourcing company where Bai Yunyun works has a large number of people, and hundreds of outsourcing employees are concentrated on a certain floor of the Ali building. Their working environment is separated from the regular employees, and there is almost no opportunity for contact with each other. The direct leader is also the management of the outsourcing company, and the project team leader within Alibaba is responsible for assigning tasks to her.

As for Long Yan’s position, the five outsourced employees share the same workstations as internal employees, and the leader is also an internal Alibaba employee.

Only when the work badges of different colors are shown, the outsourcer will be identified.

On social media, "showing off work badges" once became a fixed part of many young people's entry into large factories. Work badges, afternoon tea and office buildings, different photos show the uniform joy. But no outsourced employee has a job badge unless he has been converted into a regular employee, and that is another story.

Although they all stay together at work, Long Yan still maintains a subtle distance from internal employees. During lunch breaks, several outsourced employees will always gather together naturally, because in the canteen, internal employees You can directly swipe the meal subsidy from your card, but outsourced employees can only swipe their own money. Occasionally, colleagues would have dinner together after get off work, but Long Yan only went there once three months after joining the company.

There are more obvious differences in welfare benefits. Compared with her last job, although Bai Yunyun earned more than twice her previous salary, the social security and provident fund payment ratios of internal employees were higher, while the outsourcing company paid according to the minimum standards; Alibaba’s various benefits in daily life , such as three paychecks at the end of the year and performance bonuses have nothing to do with her.

“As an outsourcing employee, you must be clear about why you want to choose outsourcing. Since you have gone to outsourcing, you will definitely be disappointed if you compare it with the treatment of internal employees. ”

Long Yan said, “I think many people online are a bit blind. I really don’t feel any obvious discrimination. Or like some people say, outsourced employees do not have authority over internal systems. These are important. What? I only care about whether the money will be paid on time at the end of the month.”

After personal experience, many people think that outsourcing is not without benefits. Except for some positions, most outsourced jobs do not require mandatory overtime. In her past advertising company, Bai Yunyun had to stay up all night at least three times a month.

But in more than a year of outsourcing for Alibaba, I have only worked overtime once, and I have never experienced the "996" situation mentioned on the Internet. Colleagues in outsourcing positions almost always get off work on time. During the work process, the outsourcing company does not have any strict assessment.

The statement “outsourcing is a career stain” is also not accurate. After leaving the outsourcing company, Bai Yunyun went to a new company for an interview. When she mentioned her past work experience, she admitted that her last job was outsourcing. She felt a slight change in the director's face, but in the end she was still accepted. Accepted.

Each party gets what it needs

Whether it is a large factory, an outsourcing company or an employee, each party gets what it needs.

Job outsourcing is undoubtedly an excellent way for large manufacturers to reduce costs. For uncertain pilot projects, or more specific and downstream work, outsourcing can directly reduce labor costs.

Bai Yunyun said that there are many types of outsourcing in large factories, including on-site and piece-based outsourcing. Similar to Bai Yunyun and Long Yan, outsourcing work to large factories is considered on-site, while piece-based outsourcing is considered on-site. The company takes on specific projects and pays them according to the workload.

For large outsourcing companies, more detailed and specific tasks can be outsourced to small teams again, creating more "packages within packages".

According to some employees, the profit of an outsourcing company is mainly the headcount difference earned from each employee. The higher the employee level, the greater the commission the outsourcing company takes. Therefore, in addition to those who do the final specific work, Employees, large outsourcing companies are also willing to recruit for relatively higher-level management positions. Correspondingly, outsourcing companies also have a promotion mechanism similar to “first-qualified” and “second-qualified” experts.

But most outsourced employees would prefer to define themselves as an executor. In Bai Yunyun’s words, they “don’t have to do anything”.

Compared with internal positions, the work content of outsourcing positions does not include formulating strategies and outputting ideas, but mostly specific, trivial and terminal tasks. Take Bai Yunyun's illustration work as an example. All she has to do is implement the clear requirements given to her by the person in charge. She does not participate in the early design and does not need to give her own opinions. When one project ends, another one is replaced, and there is no continuity.

Sometimes, the cooperation between outsourcing companies and large manufacturers may also terminate suddenly. Half a year after joining the company, Qin Fen suddenly received a notice saying that he had to sign a contract with a new outsourcing company due to "location reasons and a change of supplier," which meant he had to start a new three-month trial period. He asked other colleagues and learned that this situation often happened, and some people had changed outsourcing companies two or three times.

As for the "regular job" that many people had been looking forward to, four of the hundreds of people on Bai Yunyun's floor had succeeded.

Some people have caught up with good opportunities and been recommended by internal leaders to departments in need. But when a similar situation occurs, some outsourcing companies that originally used "can become a regular employee" as a bait have shown a relatively cunning side. They do not want their excellent employees to be poached, so they stipulate that before employees submit their resumes within large companies, Need to leave the outsourcing company for more than six months.

Most people fail to wait for the precious opportunity to become a regular employee. A year and a half later, Bai Yunyun chose to resign. Her original idea was to earn more money. Now that she has accumulated some savings, she begins to look forward to the possibility of a career rise.

Long Yan finally decided to apply to study abroad after working in the outsourcing company for one year, hoping that after graduation, she would submit her resume through the overseas student recruitment channel of Dachang and become an official employee of Dachang. staff. Nowadays, there are many courses to learn illustration. What is the salary of an illustrator?

The better the drawing, the higher the salary. Each company pays illustrators different wages, which requires further negotiation and communication between the illustrator and the company. If you can become a contracted illustrator, the price will be much higher. The price of the seal is about 1,000 yuan. The price of black and white inner pages ranges from more than 10 yuan to more than 100 yuan. Although illustrators work freely, it is still very tiring to catch up on drawings.
