In large state-owned enterprises, when will instrument repair technicians get a chance to succeed?
Thread Content
Graduated in instrument automation; have 10 years of experience in instrument maintenance, working with instruments that have evolved from type 2 to type 3, to intelligent types, and finally to bus-type instruments. I have seen, used, and maintained control system MCUs—PLCs—DCSs—FCSs. The upgrade of automated products has not changed the status of instrument technicians – they remain in auxiliary roles with low salaries, and managers consider them dispensable. Many of my classmates from that school have long since become leaders and own cars; should I persevere or stay at that company?
This is a common mindset among instrument maintenance technicians. In my opinion, one should also conduct a comprehensive self-assessment, including an evaluation of the risks they are willing to take. There are no free lunches; what others achieve shows only the superficial successes, while the hard work involved behind the scenes must be tremendous.
As long as we hone our skills, there’s no need to fear having no chance to succeed.
Practice the basic skills diligently, learn more new knowledge, and make sure your English is good – good times are just around the corner!
You’re not that kind of person; if you were, you would have changed careers long ago. Contentment brings happiness. . . . . . .
What does it mean to have a chance to succeed? Part of it comes from one’s own efforts, while part is innate; having such a chance is conditional. Agree with the person above; contentment brings happiness.
What does the original poster consider to be standing out?
I don’t know what it means to stick one’s nose out. If you’re not satisfied with your current job, you can definitely look for another one. Besides, you’re talking about a gauge technician – a position that is inherently auxiliary, and such people will never have any chance of rising to higher positions in a company.
It is important to focus on the connections between different aspects of the business in order to develop a systematic understanding of one’s area of expertise. For example, if you work with instruments, you should also connect that knowledge with the processes involved in production; learning more about chemical production theories and on-site operations will make it easier for you to get started and earn the approval of your supervisors. You should know that leaders must take care of those who are skilled in supply chain management, production, and sales – as these are the aspects that truly determine the survival of a company. Other departments are relatively less important; they serve merely to ensure the smooth operation of the company. It’s my personal suggestion, but I leave it up to the original poster to consider it for themselves. :Lol, wish you success in the new year
In my humble opinion: Secure your footing and broaden your horizons； Get close to leaders and connect with the masses ； Change yourself and seize opportunities ； Seize the opportunity and seek a better job. If you have ambition, want to achieve something, and are not concerned about fame or fortune, then keep going. If you are ambitious, eager to achieve something, and concerned about fame and fortune, then choose a new field. Beware of being indecisive and overthinking. It is recommended to seize opportunities and act promptly.
There have been many comprehensive reviews before; the key is to determine one’s own position； Location determines everything. When you see one mountain, you realize how tall others are; but have you noticed the hills as well? Look up at the sky and down at your feet; have great ambitions, but also stay grounded in reality ； So rather than focusing on the world around us, it’s better to look within ourselves and gain some strength, so that we can reach new heights when unexpected opportunities arise. Of course, when you stand on a higher mountain, you have to look up at another one. Hehe
I suggest you work in a different environment, but I don’t recommend changing careers. If possible, our company is in need of talents like you.
If you have the skills and know what you’re doing, you should change careers; otherwise, be cautious.
"If you are ambitious, eager to achieve something, and concerned about fame and fortune, then choose a new field. " But I’ve been doing this for 16 years now, and I haven’t learned any new skills; what should I do?
Thank you all for your advice; actually, I still prefer the field of instrument automation. I will try my best. It’s just that sometimes we are affected by external stimuli.
