Always send the courier to the company, will it affect your personal image?

The income of the courier brother has dropped, and the "gold business" in this blue-collar mind has also dimmed. Express delivery doesn't smell good. Does it mean that the routine of working to make money is better than that of white-collar workers?

Once upon a time, couriers, bricklayers, welders, Lamian Noodles masters, car drivers ... these blue-collar workers began to catch up with white-collar workers, and some even earned a lot more than white-collar workers. Their income makes some people call "going against the sky". In the past two years, the recruitment advertisements of take-away companies have also shaped the image of making big money by express delivery. The recruitment content promises that the minimum salary of the courier is 6,000 yuan per month, and the maximum salary can reach 1.2 million yuan. There are also various holiday order subsidies, grade subsidies, and phased awards and year-end awards.

On 20 17, Liu made an "advertisement" for a Jingdong courier. The average salary of Jingdong couriers is 50% higher than that of the same industry. Any courier who has worked in JD.COM for five years can bring enough money home to buy a house. Of course, if you receive two customer complaints in a row, the shiny identity of Jingdong courier will be gone. At the peak of courier image, the monthly income of couriers in JD.COM reached 80,000 yuan.

But just this year, the housing market is booming and the volume of express delivery has increased greatly. Express companies are hot in the capital market, and their share prices have hit record highs. However, the income of courier buddies did not increase with the increase in delivery volume, but decreased. According to CCTV reports, some couriers "can deliver more than 200 orders every day, get up at six in the morning and deliver them to the evening, basically without rest." The previous invoice 2 yuan, now only needs 1 2 ". There is also an extreme situation. "In July, the delivery fee has dropped to 0.4 yuan/piece. After deducting the SMS fee and telephone fee, you can only earn 0.25 yuan per order. "

This may be an extreme situation. Many express delivery companies are light assets, providing brand and software construction in the logistics chain, surrounded by franchisees. By the nerve endings of the express delivery industry, the distribution of goods has been subcontracted layer by layer, and the distribution cost may be relatively low. As low as 0.4 yuan/film, it should be a place with fierce competition. The profit is so thin that some people do it, which shows that the labor supply in this area is abundant.

On the general trend, the express delivery industry is indeed experiencing crazy involution, and the price war between giants has mushroomed. In July, SF's single ticket revenue was 17.87 yuan, down 20.96% year-on-year; Dayun's single ticket revenue was 2.0 1 yuan, down 36.19% year-on-year; Tongyuan's single ticket income was 2. 16 yuan, down 23.10% year-on-year; Shentong's single ticket revenue was 2. 12 yuan, down 24.29% year-on-year.

The so-called single-ticket income is the income that the courier company obtains from customers by delivering every email. Every order has lost so much income, and there must be a courier link to bear. The completion of a single express delivery should go through four links: collection, transit, delivery and information service. It seems impossible in transportation. After the epidemic, expressway has re-charged, and the information service itself has no potential to be tapped. What is left is only the profit of the enterprise and the labor cost of the courier brother. Enterprises are growing bigger and bigger together in Lian Heng, and they have enough confidence. It seems that only the courier brother has no confidence. In this way, it is very common that the income of the courier brother will be wiped by one or two percent this year.

As early as the beginning of last year, JD.COM, an enterprise providing five insurances and one gold for couriers, announced that the gold content of the courier's golden rice bowl had dropped because of the change of payment method. At that time, JD.COM canceled the basic salary of the courier, increased the task of receiving the courier, and recorded the documents in the performance. According to another source, JD.COM also lowered the provident fund coefficient of couriers from 12% to 7%, with a reduction rate of 5%. In this regard, Jingdong Logistics responded that the original salary structure is not suitable for the new model. When most enterprises rely on franchisees to control costs, JD.COM. COM's "high on the market" lacks competitiveness and has to adapt to the market environment.

Once, express delivery and take-out were the best choices for factory workers to escape from the assembly line. A motorcycle and a mobile phone travel all over the world, although they have self-knowledge, but the piece rate and salary catch up with the grassroots white-collar workers. According to the statistics of the State Post Bureau, the number of couriers in China has reached 4 million, and it is increasing at the rate of 2 million per year. Their average salary is higher than the average social income level, and their natural labor intensity is also quite high.

The problem is that express delivery is also inseparable from the soil. With the delivery of labor bonus, the remuneration of manual workers in China has made great progress in recent years. However, in a country with a population of 600 million and an income of 1 000 yuan, the income is still limited by the productivity level of the whole country. According to the 2065438+2009 report released by China Post Express, 75% of couriers earn less than 5,000 yuan a month, and the proportion of their income exceeding 1 10,000 yuan is less than 1%, or 0.73% to be exact. The report also shows that 46.85% of the express delivery employees in China work 8- 10 hour a day, 33.69% work 10- 12 hour a day, and nearly 20% of the employees work more than 12 hour.

In fact, this is the portrayal of factory workers in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta. Small garment factories with dozens of people there are basically pieceworkers, earning about 6 thousand a month, but they don't have any holiday benefits or five insurances and one gold. The scale of the electronics factory is relatively large, with basic welfare guarantee, five insurances and one gold. Take a day off every week, and the holiday salary will be doubled. You can deduct your social security and accommodation, and your salary is relatively low. Calculated by 12 hour per day, the monthly salary around first-tier cities is between 4,500 and 5,500 yuan, and the salary in third-and fourth-tier cities will be between 3,500 and 4,500 yuan.

This kind of salary has made a substantial leap compared with neighboring countries such as Vietnam and India, and it is also bursting with happiness compared with the general level of 1,000 yuan ten years ago. But in the past ten years, house prices have risen faster than wages, food can hardly keep up with wages, and rising prices have eroded wage growth.

But this year, the factors that organize salary increase have become particularly prominent. Affected by the epidemic, enterprises have moved overseas, and the income of factory workers has generally declined this year. At the same time, automatic delivery robots appeared. During the epidemic, the vegetable delivery robot ran on the streets of Shunyi, Beijing.

Just a few days ago, BP said that due to the changes in epidemic situation, government policies and consumer behavior, the global dependence on fossil fuels will be weakened, and the demand for crude oil may reach its peak in 20 19. This is the first energy giant to look down on his industry.

Artificial intelligence technology is accelerating progress, and the physical labor of takeaway brothers and even factory blue-collar workers is facing the same fate. China's social structure is far from olive social structure, and manual workers are not scarce. It is difficult to realize that the income of construction workers and repairmen in western society is comparable to that of professors.
