The difference between the lower workshop and the upper workshop
Thread Content
Company employees asked why leaders always say “go to the workshop,” instead of using the phrase “go up to the workshop.” Actually, they all mean the same thing; I just wanted to get picky about it. Who can help explain this word?
Let me explain; the reason is hehehe. Is it the best assistance?
By Chinese standards, offices are considered a higher tier than workshops. That’s why there is a term for people who work in offices. Then take a look at the divisions: the production floor (that is, the workshops), office buildings, and logistics. Leading from the office building to the workshop means moving from a higher place to a lower one, going deep into the grassroots level; that’s why it is called going to the workshop.

This is China’s deeply rooted hierarchical system, even in terms of ideology
The workshop is usually on the first floor. . The leadership office is upstairs. . . So. . Go to the workshop. . .
We just said to go to the workshop. Go to the workshop – probably means to be sent to the workshop
Go to the workshop? Who is the workshop owner? What does it look like?
This is some kind of *idiomatic expression, right? Things like going to the front line or going to the grassroots level – using it in this context sounds awkward
If this were translated into English, that might not be the case. But foreigners learning English might find it confusing; someone goes to the workshop as soon as they arrive at work, going to the grassroots level every day
Those who go down to the workshop are managers, while those who go up there are workers:lol:lol
