Why do some people prefer to work as a shop assistant for 2000 yuan rather than work in a factory for 5000 yuan?

As it happens, my shop assistant did it and so did the factory workers. Let me share my little experience.

I worked as a part-time candy salesman in the supermarket during my sophomore summer vacation, earning 120 per day. Let's first open some loose sugar and put it in the tasting box, then pull people coming and going to taste it, and then let everyone take one or two bags and put them in the shopping cart. At first I thought it sold a lot, but later I found that many people just came to try it and didn't buy it. Even after putting it in the shopping cart, I went out.

My legs are sore after standing all day. My aunt at the booth next door opened the curtain and told me to sit down for a while. It's a small storage yard, dark and unmonitored. Aunt said that when they are not busy, they will come in to have a rest (actually lazy), play with their mobile phones, drink water and chat for a while. Dirty air, closed space and dim light, I don't want to stay for a moment, but it is a kind of enjoyment for menstruation.

After more than a week of part-time experience, my aunts took good care of me as a senior. Will give me something to try or improve, let me study hard. From the conversation with them, I learned that the supermarket has to buy social security for them, with two shifts, one shift is usually eight hours. A month's salary depends on the promotion commission, usually three or four thousand. However, the work intensity is not great. I take four days off a month and walk in shifts. Get three salaries for working overtime on legal holidays.

It was also the summer vacation of the university, and I went to a factory to work as a summer job. The task is very simple, that is, to tape the product packaging, with an hourly wage of 13 yuan, working 10 hours a day, working long shifts and taking one day off every week. If there is no timely rest during childbirth, it shall be calculated at twice the salary. The statutory holidays are 3 times. Because I am a summer job, naturally I didn't buy social security, but only accident insurance. But as far as I know, other regular employees have five insurances.

I stayed there all day, and I couldn't stand it. Mechanical repetition and simple operation, I seem to be not me, but more like a robot without emotion and body. I don't have to communicate or move. I sat there all day, only my hand kept tearing off the label, picking up the product, labeling it and throwing it aside. With the rumble of the machine, I felt annoyed several times. After doing it all morning, I was obviously dull-eyed, inattentive, unresponsive, taciturn and depressed.

But I kept doing it for a month, and my hands were covered with calluses, scarred and exhausted. After settling my salary, I took almost 4000 yuan, and I couldn't help but sigh: this is hard-earned money in the true sense.

1. Interesting: factory work is obviously monotonous and rigid, so you can only stare at the repetitive operation of the work at hand. Shop assistants can chat and talk at work, deal with all kinds of people, have a rest when they are tired, and have flexible teaching.

2. Working environment: The factory is a closed environment. Most factories are located in remote places, and most employees live in dormitories. Therefore, the daily life of factory workers is generally three points and one line in factories, canteens and dormitories, and they often work all day. The working environment of salespeople is open, and the people they meet are different and more novel every day.

3, wages: Although the factory salary is better, but it is hard-earned money, hard money, flowers are reluctant to spend. Although the wages of shop assistants are not as high as those of factories, they will not be much lower than those of factories in recent years, and some even exceed the wages of factories.

4. Labor intensity: Many jobs in the factory are piecework. If you don't work hard, you won't get a high salary. If you are lazy, someone will chase you and fall asleep as soon as you get off work. Shop assistants can have a rest when replenishing goods or when there are few guests, so it is easier to go shopping at the end of the day and there is no need to rush.

5. Dignity: Although there is no distinction between high and low occupations, we have to admit that salespeople are more decent than factory workers in terms of social recognition. If three aunts and six wives introduce marriage partners, the success rate of sales is higher than that of factory workers.

So it is not difficult to understand why people would rather be shop assistants than enter factories.

Anyway, let me express my opinion first. No one is looking for a job just for money. More money and less money is a very important aspect, but it is definitely not all!

When you work alone, you will consider the following aspects.

First, income, that is to say, how much money can this job earn? On the surface, the salary of a shop assistant is 2000 yuan, and that of a factory worker is 5000 yuan. It seems that working in a factory is more cost-effective, but you have to consider two issues. First of all, how long are the working hours in the factory? Working ten hours a day in a factory can get 5,000 yuan, while working eight hours a day as a shop assistant can get 2,000 yuan. This actually shows that working in a factory does not earn much more than working as a shop assistant. Secondly, another cost to consider is that the economic costs you put into this job, such as factories that can generally open a salary of 5,000 yuan, are concentrated in larger cities. If you let a person rent a house in the city, plus his transportation expenses to and from work, these are all costs to consider! Well, if the wages in the factory are not much higher, many people are reluctant to enter the factory. Why is this happening? The main reasons are as follows!

Second, the management in the factory is too strict. I wonder if you have ever worked in a factory. Many years ago, I lived in a large electronics factory for a month because of my work. Workers who don't live in it have to go to work every day like entering the airport, and they have to do a full-body security check when they enter the factory. When they leave the factory after work, they also have to do security checks and change their slippers. After entering the factory, they still have to wear that disposable hat. Moreover, many workers work standing, and managers such as line leaders and team leaders will walk back and forth to supervise. Management is too strict! This is one of the reasons why many people are unwilling to work in factories. As a shop assistant, there are no such strict restrictions. At the very least, you don't have to queue up for work every day, but you have to do security checks!

Third, the work in the factory is too monotonous! Every day is a repetitive work. If you work there alone, you can work for two or three months a month, but if you can persist for three years, you will definitely be a hero for five years! Let me ask you a question. Your job is to have sex, and you just stand there and have sex every day. How long can you last? The minimum job content of being a shop assistant will not be so boring!

Fourth, it is difficult to learn real skills in factories, especially assembly line factories! When a person is young, he has just left school, and he has no skills, no education, and no skills. It is ok to go to the factory and earn a higher salary, but can he live in the factory like this all his life? Life imprisonment? I believe that most people will not let their lives become like this! As a shop assistant, you can at least learn some knowledge about dealing with people, purchasing goods and pricing. Moreover, the entry threshold for opening a store and opening a supermarket is not high. When you have accumulated certain funds and experience, you can go it alone! These are all screwed in by the factory!

To sum up, so many people would rather be a shop assistant with a salary of 2000 yuan than work in a factory to earn 5000 yuan!

Why don't many people go to work in factories now? I prefer to do low-paying jobs, such as supermarket salespeople, hourly workers, temporary workers, hotel waiters, etc.

Especially after 95 and 00, I don't want to go to work in factories, which leads to many factories not recruiting people. I used to work in a factory. In the past, the factory was very good at selecting people. As long as it did not meet the requirements, it was more difficult for more girls to enter the factory. At that time, many boys tried their best to enter the factory with many girls. It used to be a candidate factory, but now it is a candidate factory and has become a candidate factory. There are several factors:

1. You are not free to go to work, and there are many rules.

Now, as long as you enter the factory gate, many factories have many rules. It feels like prison. No cell phones. If you want to go to the bathroom and give a report, you have to endure smoking. You must wait until the break. Rest time 10 minutes, and then continue to work.

2. There is no future.

Nowadays, young people come out to work, first of all, not to consider wages, but to see if their jobs have a future. Without a future, they would never do it.

3. The object cannot be found.

There used to be a lot of girls in the factory. Many boys just want to find someone, but now there are few girls in the factory. Boys are aunts when they enter the factory, so it's strange not to run, so now boys don't want to enter the factory.

4. Working hard, working too long, staying up late.

The factory basically has two shifts 12 hours, day shift 12 hours and night shift 12 hours, and this is an infinite cycle. There are few shifts, let alone long-day shifts. Some factories work standing up, which makes people very tired. In addition, staying up late and standing to work, young people nowadays simply can't stand it.

5. disrespect.

People who work in factories are deprived of many rights. The factory was forced to work overtime and the vacation was not approved. These bosses just regard people as machines and tools to make money, which is totally inhuman.

Then why would you rather work as a clerk in a supermarket than go to a factory? Although the salary is low, but close to home, life is free, there are not many rules and regulations. The most important thing is to feel like an individual, not a machine that only makes money.

Tell me how I feel. I am a 32-year-old child. I gave birth at the age of seven and took care of my children at home until I went to kindergarten. Family conditions do not allow me to continue playing at home. There is a woven bag processing factory not far from home. When I first entered school, I sent my children to school in the morning and picked them up at the factory at 4: 30 in the afternoon. The first month was over 1400, and I didn't have any time of my own. Until now, I still work in that factory, and my salary is only over 4000, and I haven't paid 5000 yet. The workers changed again and again. Sit there with your head down every day, your hands keep moving, and you can't get in touch with any new friends. I can't help it No one takes care of the children, no salary is paid every month, the boss won't take care of you, and there is no New Year's Eve bonus at the end of the year. In rural areas, children take themselves to work to earn more than 3,000 yuan. I don't know how tired it is to go to work every day. Children are helped to take care of them. Who will go to work in the factory? Tired and dirty. It is still very hot in summer. It is not easy to do things in winter. It is best to work in a supermarket.

The factory salary looks high, so it's not worthwhile to be careful. Let me give you an analysis based on my personal experience:

First of all, factory work is boring and labor-intensive, and overtime is common. My body aches every day, my sleep quality is poor, and I feel dizzy every day. A few years ago, I worked as an intern in an electronics factory for a long time, from 7 am to 9 pm. It's still official this time. In fact, we rarely get off work before 12 pm, because it was piecework at that time and we were desperately grabbing goods every day. After working for a while, my wrist is swollen. One of my classmates is responsible for cleaning oil stains on the surface of products with alcohol. After a week or so, my hand was festered by alcohol bubbles.

Second, wages. We worked for two months at that time. 4500 in the first month, 240 for high temperature allowance and meal supplement, and 4200 in the second month. However, due to the early resignation, I only gave 100 yuan as a meal supplement, and there was no high temperature allowance. In the past two months, I spent about 1200 on meals, 300 on water and electricity, and deducted some taxes, making a net profit of 7000. For two months, because the factory was in a hurry, I only had a rest for three days, and I worked 14 hours a day on average. The salary is actually very low.

Third, the promotion mechanism is narrow and there is no future in sight. In the factory, a workshop director manages dozens of team leaders, and a team leader manages dozens of employees. Take our production line at that time as an example. Two employees have worked for more than ten years, and they are still assembly employees in an assembly line. They repeat mechanical actions every day and can work with their eyes closed. Stay in the factory for a long time, people will be numb and their eyes will become dull.

The factory's products have low technical content, which leads to low profit. The way they make profits is to make money by quantity. Looking at the high salary, in fact, I sacrificed a lot for myself, which was not worth the loss. The salary of salespeople seems low, but they work short hours and have more control over their own time. If they are close to home, they can take care of their families conveniently. These advantages are incomparable to the factory. Personally, if it's just for money, you can choose to go to the factory. If you want to balance family and work, it is not a wise choice to go to the factory.

Needless to say, young people nowadays can't bear hardships. They would rather have a relaxed but not sleepy job than a job that works hard and stays up late with high pay.

Once I stayed in a boss's villa for one night and lived in a small study. As there are no quilts and pillows, I want to go to the room where three or five young people live next door to see if there are any pillows I can borrow. Before turning on the light, I saw that their quilts and pillows were dirty and smelled a little unacceptable. This is probably the case with young people nowadays. They would rather take a low-paying job and call it a day, and then go to a bar to play late at night.

Nowadays, young people change jobs frequently, and it is really not easy for many factories and enterprises to recruit young and hard-working workers. Sometimes they can't stand it. If the boss dares to scold them, they may leave quietly the next day, let alone resign politely.

This problem is actually very representative, especially at present, more and more young people don't want to go into factories, but would rather give up the relatively high wages in factories and do other jobs?

In fact, if we can put ourselves in the shoes, we will find that the answer to this question is actually very simple, because finding a job and money is not the only appeal. In addition to money, growth space, value orientation, working environment and humanistic environment are also one of the factors that job seekers are very concerned about.

We might as well analyze why young people prefer to do other jobs rather than work in factories.

First of all, I think this matter should start with the views of this generation on work.

It must be admitted that young people nowadays prefer to run their own business as a business. As long as TAs have a recognition of the work at hand, what is overtime, what is hard work, and what is a long way to go, in a word-it doesn't exist. Compared with realizing self-worth, these small difficulties are not bumpy at all.

Moreover, TAs believe that work is the embodiment of their own abilities, and they don't need to be stingy with their talents and means. They also hope to make a difference in their work, provided that they love this job and can realize their self-worth and show their excellent skills through this job.

On the other hand, we see that jobs in factories are a little unfriendly to young people compared with many emerging occupations. For example, the work content is boring, often guarding the assembly line, and the same work has to be repeated for a long time. People are not as good as machines, and their enthusiasm for work will be greatly reduced.

For another example, people who work in factories are generally older, and young people have gone in. What can we talk about? I told you about the blind monk kick in League of Legends, but you told me that video games are poison and harm young people. There is really no point in dealing with each other every day.

Secondly, compared with the work of salesmen, salespeople and other contacts, the work of the factory does have fewer advantages. Working in a factory, it is difficult for you to get in touch with more people outside of work, and it is also difficult to expand your cognitive boundaries. For young people, there is really nothing worse than not studying and not growing.

Third, let's go back to young people. To tell the truth, this generation of young people is different from us after 80 s and 90 s. At least on the material basis, they are obviously superior to us. Most of their parents have laid a good economic foundation for them, but our generation still has to struggle for a lifetime.

Having an economic foundation means that they have a choice, so they will be more inclined to their favorite jobs. When considering salary, money may become the second choice, or even the third choice.

As for how to recruit people, especially young people, in my opinion, the most important thing is to learn to distinguish between "going to work" and "working".

Let's just say that in the world of young people's values, going to work and working can never be equated. Going to work is going to work, and going to work is working. These are two completely different concepts.

A greasy old uncle like me actually likes hanging out with these young people, because in Ta's dictionary, work equals self-worth, and going to work is a passive behavior. Now you can hear a lot of social news, demonize these young people excessively, resign if they disagree, and so on.

But in my observation, I found that it is often not because of these young people, how unruly their personality is, or how poor their treatment is, and how pedantic their business leaders are, as described in the news. Perhaps just the existing job can't make TAs feel recognized and realize their self-worth, so naturally they just say goodbye, which is not surprising.

As for how to recruit these young people, what is certain is that the old management system and thinking obviously cannot keep people in the new era. If you don't affirm the value of employees as "people" first, you can let these young people move forward. First of all, must we have a young heart?

When choosing a job, people first look at the comprehensive cost performance of income, then at the development prospect, and finally at stability and safety. Specific problems must be analyzed in detail. Practically speaking, the attraction of front-line work in the assembly line is greatly reduced, and this trend will continue, which makes it difficult for some processing plants to recruit suitable workers, and some factories are about to move to poorer Southeast Asian countries.

First, people nowadays pay attention to comprehensive cost performance when looking for a job. For example, 2000 yuan at home may be more cost-effective than 5000 yuan away from home. The cost performance of physical strength, energy and remuneration is easily 2000 yuan, which is more popular than the 5000 yuan that works overtime and even has occupational diseases. Sitting on the assembly line for 10.5 hours every day is 5000 yuan, which is not as good as a waiter who can walk around at any time, and it is not as good as a clerk who can take time off.

Second, young people should consider their own growth and development prospects when looking for a job. This story is very popular, that is, a girl would rather have a Starbucks of 4,000 yuan than an assembly line of 5,000 yuan. This is the choice of growth. Working on the assembly line for a lifetime will also process a certain action of that part, which is stupid. Working in Starbucks, you can meet many business elites, maybe you can meet true love, you can also learn coffee technology, or you can switch to a barista and be promoted to a manager.

Third, look at stability and security. The children of many employees in our unit would rather earn 2000 yuan in state-owned enterprises than work in big cities. Don't blame children for not suffering. Many enterprises are unstable. Today they are good, and tomorrow they will be closed. There are also some girls who go to work in small private enterprises and always say that the boss is flirting. Can parents rest assured?

In short, more and more enterprises cannot find qualified front-line workers. The main reason is that the money is not given in place. Young people's concept of choosing a job has also changed, and they are pursuing a better working environment. Even this year's recruitment season shouted the slogan "No company will go without a coffee shop". The talent market is also a market economy, and the specific figures of wages are no longer the most important comparative factor. People should also comprehensively consider various factors such as income, stability, security and long-term employment.

It turns out that my aunt works as a clerk in a supermarket. Later, I felt that my salary was low, so I went to Zhuhai and went back for two years.

After I went back, I worked as a shop assistant for two years and opened a small shop with my own loan. From her case, I feel that there are three kinds of salespeople, so it depends on which one you belong to.

The first kind of shop assistant, although her salary is low in the process of doing it, her purpose is to accumulate sales experience and make a detailed understanding of the market in her industry. Only when she does everything herself can she manage and understand the market better.

The second is that you have to take care of your family, you can't run too far, you can pick up your children from school, you can do sales, and you have to take care of your family. Always more fulfilled than a stay-at-home wife, and some of them have several jobs. When I was a shop assistant, I did odd jobs.

The third category is pure, and I don't want to be too tired in sales.

To sum up, it doesn't matter whether you are a shop assistant or a part-time job. It is important to eat by yourself, but the social division of labor is different. There is nothing to compare.

Factories and shops are two working modes.

Seemingly the same, they all go to work on time and get off work on time, but from the working period, it determines the living conditions of two kinds of people.

Factory: closed working environment, doing the same job every day, you can't go anywhere in the factory during commuting time. If you work slowly, you will be scolded by people who are not as good as you. If you take a break, someone will come and scold you constantly. People you meet every day are the same, and you will be led by the nose after a day of chatting.

Shopping Mall: Open working environment, repetitive but not fixed work content every day, you can go where you want to go when you go to work, no one will scold you when you are slow, you can rest when you are tired, and you can meet different people every day.

More importantly, the working atmosphere in the factory is depressing, and it is necessary to work like a robot to death.

On the contrary, shopping malls can do whatever they want.
