Crisis hit, the plant stopped operating, and I ended up doing doorkeeping!
Thread Content
It’s been ten years since I graduated from college; I’ve spent ten years working on the development of pilot-scale production systems. Now, due to the economic crisis, our company no longer has the funds for such development activities. The production facilities upstream have reduced their output, and without raw materials, operations have to be halted. There have been no layoffs, but the temporary workers who were in charge of guarding the entrance were dismissed, so now we all have to do that job! It’s hard to say whether it’s nice or not; I find it quite embarrassing. They’ve all ended up as doormen! Alas! I really don’t want to keep doing this; but with a family to support, I still have to make ends meet! I saw on the forum that a fellow sailor had just graduated and been laid off; I’m actually quite envious. At least you’re still young and don’t have any financial burdens, so you can start over from scratch! This post was last edited by yanzg on 2009-2-20 00:30]
Hang in there slowly; it will pass. . . However, those peddlers can run small businesses of their own; as long as they have the right connections, they can live a fairly comfortable life. . Sigh. .
Difficulties are temporary; setbacks are inevitable and unavoidable. It’s not shameful for college students to work as doormen; it’s a job requirement. Handle and resolve every matter in life properly.
I was prepared to work as a doorman, but the company didn’t want me for that role:lol :lol
Actually, you can start over from scratch. Besides, being a doorman is only temporary~
Don’t worry; the overall economic situation is poor right now, but I believe everything is temporary and things will get better gradually. Everyone is more or less the same; a few years after graduating, with families to support, they don’t dare to make hasty decisions anymore – they no longer have the impulsiveness of their youth
Some things really have to be done under pressure; it’s better to think of other ways! !
Being a gatekeeper is also quite tiring; it’s not easy to do well, and patience is required.
Don’t be discouraged; ten years of technical work experience will surely come in handy. What’s there to worry about? Being a doorman is only temporary.
You know, what kind of world is this these days? There are just too many Chinese people, anyway. Ah
:) You can also start over from scratch.
Opportunities lie hidden within difficulties, and the key is how one approaches them. Jump out; maybe new opportunities are waiting for you.
Didn’t we just learn about eagles? It might also be an opportunity for rebirth, though there are certainly difficulties and obstacles along the way.
Use such downtime or free time to meet more people in the same industry or from upstream and downstream sectors; perhaps opportunities will appear unexpectedly. It is also important to maintain an optimistic attitude. Having a family is our motivation, not a burden. Your experience may not be valued by your company or by you yourself, but I believe there are many companies and individuals who do value it; it’s just that both sides haven’t had the opportunity to discover each other yet. Find an opportunity that is beneficial for both parties.
Take the time while you’re working as a gatekeeper to study hard and earn a higher degree; opportunities will naturally arise once this period is over. I’m also wondering, does your company have that many gates to check?
Bro, I think you should first get the idea of graduating from college out of your mind completely. No matter what you do now, if you keep focusing on getting a college degree, you might not be able to do many things well. You think working as a doorman is demeaning, but it allows you to earn money and at least make ends meet. If you really give up on getting your bachelor’s degree, you can go out! There are many opportunities out there; you can also start from scratch. Once you do well by starting from the beginning, people will naturally pay attention to you. By then, when you show your undergraduate degree, things might not be the same as they are now. A bachelor’s degree only proves that you have received a bachelor’s-level education, but as for how much money you can earn and how much impact you can have, I think one should set aside the fact of having a bachelor’s degree and instead rely on one’s abilities and skills to build a career of their own.
There are plenty of opportunities like yours with your work experience, so don’t be too pessimistic, really.
Dude, that’s great – now you have the chance to work outside. It turns out that it’s because you’ve been working in one place for too long; your knowledge becomes more and more limited. You haven’t worked elsewhere, so you don’t know how to work in different environments. So you should go out there as soon as possible, otherwise it won’t be good for your development. Hukou isn’t an excuse – if you don’t even have the courage for that, then it doesn’t matter. It depends on whether you really have skills; those who truly have skills aren’t afraid.
It’s always better to take active steps to save oneself than to wait for death
