This post was last edited by Their crimes have finally come to light on 2014-4-19 at 16:15. Such low standards of personnel quality are the reason why safety accidents occur frequently in this company. Take a typical accident as an example: there was work being done involving fire in a grain storage facility; two workers were supervising the fire, while another person was sitting on the conveyor belt. Someone upstairs started the conveyor belt, which pulled that person in. The second worker rushed upstairs to tell that person to stop, but they refused to do so. After the last person came out of the conveyor belt, his spine was broken and he could no longer move; he was only 19 years old and had just returned home from military service. A handsome man standing at 1.85 meters tall would now have to spend the rest of his life in bed. The person who pressed the start button was a **; before joining the company, he worked as a farmer in the fields. It was also at this company that I truly started working as a front-line worker. Before joining this company, I applied for the position of professional engineer, and the salary offered was higher than what I had expected. Once I started working there, the chief engineer told me to first get familiar with the production process in the workshop before taking on a role related to scheduling. The first place visited was the DDG workshop; its production process is simple and the level of automation is not high. Those in charge of this area had no knowledge at all about production and manufacturing processes after coming into contact with them. But the workshop workers regarded him as a god; most of them were from a state-owned enterprise and went to great lengths to flatter him.

This is when I began to realize the significant impact that companies have on people; those who come from state-owned enterprises tend to prefer to build relationships and engage in conflicts, in other words, to form factions. Laa pulls in those who are useful to him; those who cannot be utilized are punished. Such pranks happen every day in the workshop; the workers from a local township enterprise can only endure them without daring to speak up.
Since the identity of those who started going there was different, this is also a feature of this company. Different job positions are distinguished by the color of the work uniforms: leaders wear brown ones while workers wear earthy-colored ones. Since my clothes were also brown, the workers initially gave me some leeway. That company has a term for those who do work on behalf of other parties, called “outsourced workers.” It is a supervisor from that state-owned enterprise who assigns tasks every day; the heavy and tough jobs are given to those honest people, while the easier tasks go to the company’s own employees. Sometimes, if someone doesn’t meet their standards, they will say something about them.
Later, I went there with a group of workers to help Party B carry the cables, and first had an argument in the warehouse with a so-called supervisor. The reason seems to be that there aren’t enough people to push the cable reel. After that person left, he got very angry because he thought we were working too slowly; one of the workers said that using a forklift would make things faster. As a result, they were unwilling and spoke in an offensive manner; hearing that made me angry as well, and we started arguing. Seeing that I didn’t dress well and wasn’t like the workers, this guy left dejectedly. I was told to go up on the bridge frame to pull cables, with the chief engineer directing operations below. Seeing the chaotic situation there, I immediately told the chief engineer that I have acrophobia and can’t go up. Later on, I found out that this chief engineer was also an uneducated and petty person who was very skilled at playing political games. He placed a great deal of emphasis on face in crowded situations; if someone was rude to him in public, he would hold it against them.
My familiarity with the production processes in various workshops was put on hold; after being notified, I started working at DDG. Fortunately, my salary wasn’t reduced, so I still had the means to confront those despicable people. A small group tried to recruit me, but I quickly became close friends with the ordinary workers there.
There, I met many friends, who are all the most honest farmers in China – enthusiastic, dedicated, hardworking, and conscientious. This is my first time, since leaving the state-owned enterprise and stopping to work with workers who had vocational school qualifications, interacting freely with such simple and unpretentious workers. After I left the company, I needed money to buy a house, so I reached out to an old friend of mine, who gave me the money without hesitation.
It was such a workshop, with so many good workers, yet accidents kept happening there both while I was working there and after I left. Pre-job training is perfunctory, and the skill level of workers is generally low. The equipment in the DDG workshop mainly consists of centrifuges and dryers. The dryer is simple to operate, while the centrifuge is equipped with a control panel; anyone familiar with chemical production can get to know this control panel after looking at it a few times. For those who have no experience in chemical production, it might be quite difficult. The team leader from that state-owned company and his group took control of the centrifuges, preventing others from learning how to use them*. At that time, I dismissed their behavior as unacceptable; later, when I worked for a foreign company, I encountered people from that same state-owned company again, and their actions were strikingly similar. Out of the hundreds of people who had contact with that state-owned company, there was only one person whom I really admired. An instrument technician who graduated from a technical school is just as skilled as any college graduate I know; he’s highly proficient in his work but only knows how to focus on technical aspects and not how to handle matters in a practical way.
They don’t even have the most basic safety knowledge; haven’t they received any safety training before entering?
Bro, stop talking. It’s a shame to hear you complain like this when you’re such a talented person. There’s a huge lecture hall in the industry area now; would you like to organize a session on a specific theme and give the lecture yourself? If there are any things you need assistance with or requirements, please feel free to let me know!
