Are state-owned enterprises really that miserable?

My subsidiary of China Railway Group is an established state-owned enterprise. Let me share my feelings.

1. Stable. Compared with private enterprises, today's state-owned enterprises have survived after many reforms and integrations. The rest are basically monopolized industries, so there is no need to worry about the company facing bankruptcy or low efficiency. Take our company for example. Those engaged in the construction of high-speed railways and subways in China basically bid internally, or compete and cooperate with other central enterprises. The state will take a comprehensive approach and will not let one enterprise be too full or starve to death. Private enterprises want Don’t even think about getting the project. Have you seen any high-speed rail projects that were built by private companies? You can’t touch this piece of cake, it’s the lifeblood of the country.

2. More human touch. Compared with private enterprises, state-owned enterprises can be said to pay great attention to employees. Take the matter of asking for leave as an example. As long as you are not the kind of person who usually hangs around very casually, if you ask for leave from your boss if you have something to do, your boss will agree to it. He will also ask you for help and tell you to resolve the matter first and then come back to work. In many cases, no money will be deducted for asking for leave, or there will be a symbolic deduction.

3. The working atmosphere is relatively relaxed and colleagues are easy to get along with. These still rely on the relatively light workload of state-owned enterprises. When working, there is not so much pressure, and naturally there is time and energy to maintain a good relationship with colleagues, and there are many areas in life where we can help each other.

4. The salary is relatively stable. Although they don't earn as much as those in the Internet giants and financial circles, the general treatment of state-owned enterprises ranks among the upper-middle-class in the local area. Especially in many high-quality state-owned enterprises in small cities, such as power grids, tobacco, petroleum, etc., many people's monthly salary is three to four times the local house price, and every holiday they are given a lot of shopping cards, gift boxes, holiday gifts, etc. Our company provides food and accommodation, clothes, shoes, shampoo, shower gel, etc. It can be said that if you don't have a penny, you can live very well just relying on what the company provides you.

5. Strong sense of belonging. I believe that many people in state-owned enterprises feel a little proud when talking about their own companies when chatting with others. Even an ordinary and conscientious worker at work will be recognized by the company and leaders. Only in state-owned enterprises can there be a big family atmosphere and the spirit of a protagonist.

Let’s talk about the disadvantages

1. The most important thing is that relationships are too important in state-owned enterprises. If you have no connections, even if you have ideals and ambitions, it will be difficult to achieve them. In state-owned enterprises, relationships and abilities each account for 100 points. Even if your ability reaches 100 points, if you don't have relationships, you won't be able to compare with those who pass both abilities and relationships. The two items add up to 120 points.

2. It is easy for state-owned enterprises to boil frogs in warm water. Because of the relatively stable and relaxed atmosphere, it is easy for people to slack off and stop the habit of continuing to study. Although state-owned enterprises are very stable now, once there is an earthquake in the industry, it may be difficult to find a job with such a high cost performance. For example, I am unemployed now and I have no other means of making a living. So if you are in a state-owned enterprise now, don’t slack off and keep up the good work. Learn and develop a side job that you like, which can increase your income and add insurance to your career. If you have no connections and rely solely on yourself, then it goes without saying. You should understand and like what I share. You can support, like, and collect it. More than 20 people support me in sharing my side business with everyone. I still have a manageable income every month. .

3. It is really difficult to make a fortune in state-owned enterprises. Although the remuneration in state-owned enterprises is relatively good, it is still much worse than that in large factories and the financial circle. Working in a state-owned enterprise can only guarantee you a well-off life with no worries about food and clothing. It is impossible to have a superior quality of life.

4. The threshold for state-owned enterprises is very high. Because related households account for the vast majority, ordinary people who want to get into state-owned enterprises on their own have very few opportunities. In addition, in recent years, more and more people have been included in the examination preparation system, resulting in 10 people being recruited, 8 people from related households, and 2 places remaining. There are more and more cases where thousands of people compete for exams.

5. State-owned enterprises cannot help themselves. State-owned enterprises bear too many social responsibilities and must obey all national policy arrangements, even projects that are obviously losing money (the Electric Power Bureau spreads the power grid to villages with only a few dozen people in deep mountains and old forests.

), we must persist in doing it, so many times we cannot just consider the development of the enterprise when doing things.
