What's it like to work in a foreign construction site?

At the same time, let's talk about the feelings of working in foreign construction sites and spare time: First, working in Pakistani construction sites, the wages of China workers are ten times that of Pakistani workers, and Pakistani Railway regards us as gods, and the sense of superiority is sudden;

Second, among the workers in China, there are no compatriots because they are in a foreign country. Although it is not common to quarrel and fight at the construction site, there are;

Third, the foreman's attitude towards every worker in China is recorded. Workers get a day's salary in 500 yuan in the first month. If you are caught cheating most of the time, it may be reduced to 450 or 400 in the second month: the salary fluctuates according to the practicality of the job, and there is no tenure;

Four, the implementation of the eight-hour working system, the contract signed a guaranteed monthly salary of 1 10,000, and the high temperature leave was directly credited to the salary card;

Fifth, the work intensity is not as great as that in China. As long as you don't stand and praise your sister, you won't be defiled by the management.

6. On the China Festival, the company will give every worker in China something: Pakistani currency will be converted into RMB 500 yuan during the Spring Festival, and 200 yuan will be on the Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival during the National Day. Buy wine and meat on holidays (because workers usually cook with induction cookers);

Seven, China workers as long as you dare to play Batie, immediately book a plane ticket to send you back to China;

Eight, the Taliban disturb social order, site guards are a platoon of the government's internal security forces, the site wall is tall and electrified, the door is covered with linen sandbags, machine guns, rifles and submachine guns are placed outside, and the guns are facing outwards.

If the workers go out, please let them go. The labor manager needs to fill in the leave slip and the deputy secretary of the project signs it. If they come back regularly, they will be punished for overtime.

Nine, Pakistan can't help guns, and it can wear long guns and short guns if it meets the conditions, which is in stark contrast to the extinction of folk guns in China;

10. Wild animals are flooding: wild boars walk on the highway, pangolins scream in the middle of the night, and turtles can be seen everywhere in the river. ...

Generally speaking, places working abroad are used to working at home because of the differences in climate and culture. I am now working in Saudi Arabia, a Gulf country, and in war-torn Iraq for more than two years. These companies are all construction companies. Let me talk about the feeling of working in a foreign construction site.

As a translator, there is actually a lot of pressure. From eating and buying food to project acceptance, everything needs an interpreter to solve. Everything must be attended by an interpreter. In Iraq, translators not only have to risk their lives to travel to and from the streets of every city, but also "serve" local supervisors. In addition, we must improve the relationship with various suppliers. Because of the financial problem, the products needed by the company are often translated. For this reason, we have to suffer from debt collection from many suppliers.

In summer in Iraq, the outdoor temperature is as high as 50℃, and our workers have to work outdoors in the scorching sun every day 10 hours. It can be said that it is not easy for everyone to work hard during the day, but because of safety problems, they can only stay in the project after work and are not allowed to go out. These can bear the past. The most important thing is that they leave their hometown and abandon their wives. Some workers don't go home for a year or two in order to make more money.

In recent years, I have been working in foreign construction sites, all of which are Southeast Asian countries. The feeling of going to work on a foreign site is still very different from that of going to work on a domestic site. I will talk about my own feelings, hoping to learn from friends who want to go abroad to work on the construction site.

1 The first thing to do when going to work in a foreign construction site is the intuitive feeling brought by the weather. I am working in Cambodia now, and it is summer all year round. I have to fight the sun and ultraviolet rays every day. As time goes on, my skin will become bronzed. Working in hot weather, it is difficult to stay if you can't adapt to this climate.

Mosquitoes are more susceptible to viruses. Mosquitoes like places with a lot of garbage and high humidity, so mosquitoes are everywhere on the construction site. Many workers on the construction site get dengue fever because of mosquitoes every year. And I have two experiences a year. If I spend money, this seemingly cold symptom will only get worse if I don't pay attention to prevention.

3. Language problems Language problems are also some problems faced when working in foreign construction sites. In foreign construction sites, the proportion of people from China is a minority, while people from this country will account for the majority. The reason is also related to the boss, because considering the cost, a large number of local people will be hired; Second, the government considers the factors of domestic employment. There are people from four countries in my construction site, so there will be many obstacles in language communication and work arrangement. What if I speak Chinese and others can't understand me? Hand stroke; Translate by mobile phone; Or please translate it to the workers at the scene.

4. Security issues. The situation in foreign countries is somewhat different from that in China. In some countries, the legal system is not perfect, and in some private construction companies, safety norms and requirements are not strictly enforced. Therefore, in the process of work, there will also be security risks. In addition, pay more attention to your personal safety. The domestic security environment is also very poor. If you want to go out to play after work. Or call a few more friends; Go out as little as possible at night.

The above points are my impressions of working in foreign construction sites in recent years, and they are also some problems encountered in working abroad. If you are wrong, please leave a message below.

Being a stranger alone in a foreign land, I miss my relatives twice every festive season! Language and living habits are very different. Things on the construction site are complicated and dangerous. I am not abroad, but I am at the construction site. I can feel the living conditions of my workmates. I hope my relatives abroad will live a happy and healthy life as soon as possible!

As long as you are hungry at home, you are not advised to go abroad. Now domestic wages have risen a lot. I work on a construction site in the Middle East. First, the working environment is relatively poor, the weather is hot, and it can reach more than 50 degrees in summer. All kinds of flies, mosquitoes and bedbugs work nonstop for more than ten hours a day. Second, the eating and living environment is relatively poor. The food is basically boiled and tasteless. Seven or eight people have a small room, bunk beds, and more than 20 rooms have a bathroom. You have to wait in line to take a shower and go to the bathroom. Third, and most importantly, the salary is not as high as expected. I said more than 300 when I came, and I didn't know until I came, that is, 260 to 280. Fourth, easy come, hard go. Because of the epidemic, the isolation fee may have to be paid by itself.

When I came to Iran for the second time, although some people had a good impression on China people because of the epidemic, most of them were friendly and the situation was always tense. However, Iran is very safe and the price is very low. All kinds of things they don't eat in Islam are delicious to us. Even if it is too far away from home, it is not convenient to go home because of the epidemic. There used to be several flights a day, but now there is one flight a week. The fare is four or five times or more, and you have to be quarantined when you go back. Obviously it's inconvenient to go back.
