Middle school students, undergraduates – equal pay for equal work, what to do?
Thread Content
In our workshop, there are middle school students, vocational school students, technical school students, college students, undergraduate students, and postgraduate students. Those who work on shift duties receive equal pay for equal work. The middle school graduates were hired 10 years ago, the vocational school graduates were hired 6 years ago; in recent years, undergraduates have also been hired, as well as a few postgraduates. Everyone works together, and the HR department stipulates that equal pay should be given for equal work. What are the attitudes of these people – middle school graduates, university students? The middle school graduates are now experienced workers; there are also senior team leaders among them, and some of them have obtained associate degrees through self-study. Some of the vocational school graduates work on shift duties, and most of the current managers are also undergraduates. All those who work on shift duties include older, more experienced workers from middle schools, vocational schools, etc. Everyone receives equal pay for equal work. So, how should undergraduates approach this situation and maintain their proper attitude? ---------------------- Since equal pay for equal work, is it really worth it to invest 4 years of time and tens of thousands of dollars in college tuition? What’s the point? If state-owned enterprises treat college students in this way, is China’s university education moving forward or backward? This post was last edited by dxsy on 2009-4-20 03:22]
Hehe, it’s a normal phenomenon. There are more people these days, educational levels are rising, and children are becoming smarter. Moreover, the knowledge systems in books serve only as a theoretical basis; practical problems still require experienced mentors
Hehe, now that undergraduates have joined the workforce, their salaries are a bit higher than those of junior college graduates or those working in the military industry, but still lower compared to the more experienced workers. A little less than them. College students first need to have the right attitude and work hard. When the time comes, once you have learned everything you need to know or have gained some experience – usually within 3 to 5 years – you can become a technician. It’s essential to maintain a proper attitude, because there is a path for advancement ahead; you can’t stay a worker for life, unless you yourself don’t want to become a technician. That’s my understanding :) :)
It’s not that I’m trying to defend anyone; in the long run, the higher one’s educational level, the better one’s prospects, after all, a broader knowledge base and wider perspective are advantageous. But some people fail to make use of this opportunity, miss many chances, and still blame others instead of learning from their mistakes. In that case, all those years of education have been in vain: lol
Are such problems very common? Especially for workers with degrees, they generally feel uneasy, thinking that they shouldn’t be treated this way given their education. If that’s what you think, then there’s no need to continue; just leave. I’m also reluctant to leave, as the employment pressure outside is too great. You should know that as long as you work hard, you will surely achieve success. But those without a diploma will have to work shift work their whole lives, with even less hope; so how can they do their work? A poor attitude is harmful to both others and oneself. There are many successful people out there who don’t have high educational qualifications, yet they have achieved great things; moreover, they put in far more effort than you do. Is it possible to ask for only and give nothing in return? In short, effort always yields results; don’t set unrealistic goals – just work diligently and practically. Don’t start running before you’ve even walked properly.
This phenomenon is now quite common in businesses. As companies develop, they need employees with high educational qualifications to join them. At first, college graduates know nothing, so having them work in shifts is intended to help them acquire more knowledge, so that they can more easily take on management roles when the time comes. Have you noticed that many business leaders these days are younger and have higher educational levels?
It depends on the position; different roles carry different salaries. Those working in internal tasks must earn more than those working in external tasks, otherwise why would anyone choose to do internal tasks? Education level isn’t important; as long as one is capable of performing the job, that’s enough. Having too high an education level is a waste. It’s so difficult for undergraduates to find jobs these days; having any job is good enough. After all, there are plenty of undergraduates around, and if you don’t take the job, many others are waiting in line.
Regardless of educational level, if you do the same job, your contribution to the company is the same, and therefore the compensation you should receive should be the same as well. Only by doing one’s current job well can one have the opportunity to take on more important jobs with higher salaries.
It’s a very practical issue: undergraduates maintain a proper attitude, but high school students and those from vocational schools fail to adopt the right mindset. Instead, they say to undergraduates, \"What’s the use of studying so hard? I earn just as much as you do now!\" What do undergraduates think? Depressed
The key is one’s own self-positioning; only by keeping working hard can one’s goals be achieved. Hired based on IQ, promoted based on emotional intelligence – that’s good. Everything depends on effort!
Go your own way and let others talk. Work hard, and in a few years let the person who said that slap themselves.
However, it should be noted that those in high-tech fields are generally people with high educational qualifications. There is a transition for students as they move from school to society, and this requires time. During this period, you need to get to know society, and at the same time let society get to know you; once it acknowledges you, your opportunities will arise.
It's an era that values ability! In certain positions, it is normal for people with different educational backgrounds to earn the same salary, especially these days!
Normal phenomenon: Otherwise, just change jobs!
These days, what matters is ability, not your educational background; as long as you work hard and do your job well, that’s enough!
Character determines one’s life; it’s an era that values abilities. In certain positions, it’s normal for people with different educational backgrounds to earn the same salary. Special attention should be paid to character development, especially these days.
Equal pay for equal work is completely normal; I agree with that as well. If college students and postgraduate students want to surpass high school students, they must apply the knowledge they have acquired to their work, introduce technological innovations that bring benefits to companies, thereby enhancing their own value as well.
Stay positive and maintain a proper mindset. Also, if you don’t want to work shift work your whole life, learn more skills through practical experience; truly skilled workers are not something that ordinary undergraduates can compare to
I think equal pay for equal work is normal! You should obviously be paid the same for doing the same work; it’s another matter if you have the ability to get promoted in the future.
A high level of education does not necessarily mean high ability. Older workers may not have as much theoretical knowledge as college students, but their practical skills and experience are incomparable to those of college students. There are still many cases of high scores accompanied by low ability; people often make simple mistakes. College students should not think that just because they have a high educational level they are outstanding. One should humbly learn from experienced masters*. Old workers also need to strive to improve their theoretical knowledge.
This is the same in many places, not just in chemical plants. No matter which company you join, you have to start from the lowest level, whether you are a graduate student or an undergraduate. Experience at the grassroots level is essential; only by gaining such experience and understanding of it can you perform better in leadership positions in the future. These days, there is equal pay for equal work, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, a vocational school graduate, an undergraduate, or a postgraduate. The higher your educational level, the shorter the time you will spend at the grassroots level; you will have broader opportunities for development and can advance more quickly. So, don’t rely on your educational background; studying hard is what will pave the way for your future promotions.
