There was ambition and dedication too, but time took away those hasty youthful dreams. Wrenches took away my youth, and sewage washed away my dreams. Large and small compressors have crushed my hopes, and even lubricant cannot heal my sorrow. The pipe wrench strikes my heart again and again; the safety straps hold back my dreams. That work uniform once made me feel heroic, but now my tattered clothes are just as ruined as my shattered dreams. The confused darkness of the night caused me great suffering; my eyes were wide open, even rounder than light bulbs. I asked the Buddha with a smile, “Where is our path?” ” Buddha replied, completely confused! I cried, and the Buddha said, “Don’t cry; you look so…” When I see the current situation – masters becoming ordinary people while disciples become elites, working overtime day and night with no regular schedule, and being treated like laborers – achieving improvement seems like a myth! One learns the skills with great enthusiasm; as an operator, one has to endure hardships. Shutdowns for maintenance must be carried out thoroughly, and one is tired all day long, whether at work or not. There’s no room for complaint if the salary isn’t high enough; penalties are imposed if deadlines aren’t met, which is miserable. Hygiene is considered more important than production. One works from morning till night, harder than an ox, with irregular times for eating and sleeping. One isn’t allowed to leave even for a moment, and there are constant evaluations, meetings, and tasks that drive one crazy! Ashamed to meet people due to lack of money; in one’s youth, one ends up in such a miserable situation. As soon as the supervisor gives an order, one must act immediately; the slightest carelessness can result in breaking rules. One stays at work all year round, with labor laws completely ignored. It’s difficult to see family during holidays, and one is exhausted, with no place to shed tears! Abandoning family and career is a shame to one’s elders; only by experiencing it firsthand can one understand the truth. I dare not aspire to any social status; I rely solely on foolish self-delusion. Wiping away tears and sweat, I still have to face life in this petty-bourgeois manner! Meeting in person is pure waste; it’s hard to give it up yet hard to let go of it – how can I then experience the joy of raising the elderly?
I’m really confused; what kind of sad story is there?
The original poster seems too pessimistic; to quote a phrase from \"How the Steel Was Tempered,\" \"There will be bread, and there will be everything else as well.\" ”
I’m sorry, it’s a repost. I previously wrote about reposting; why is it gone?
Well, I’ll have to change my reasons for the rating as well, but the score won’t go down. This is my first post since my quiet period, so here’s some encouragement. More wealth will be generated again.
The petrochemical industry is a declining sector, and the situation of petrochemical companies and their workers is surely getting worse year by year. Especially those in Sinopec and CNPC – they may seem like large state-owned enterprises with a glorious reputation, but only they know the good and bad sides of it. First and foremost, there’s a lack of money; the meager salaries barely suffice to support a family, and it’s slightly better for families where both spouses work ； Secondly, the nature of shift work causes us to become severely disconnected from society; once laid off, we don’t know what else we can do apart from working as security guards (when CNPC laid off employees, it’s likely that it would be difficult to find a job in our field of expertise) ； Third is what’s known as ambition – when working in such highly closed state-owned enterprises, there’s no room for talking about life or ambitions; this is something everyone understands. At best, we are just workers, with a bit more stability and benefits.
Will it be hard to find a suitable job after being laid off? Doesn’t dry stone construction require skills? Can’t those skills be used elsewhere?
I work at a local refinery; although the management is strict, there can be no economic benefits without such management. The market situation isn’t ideal, but not every company suffers losses. Every market presents business opportunities; it mainly depends on decision-making and leadership direction

During the New Year, I went back to my hometown and saw the neighbors slaughtering pigs: it was so sad! ! I’m at work now; I think I’m not even as good as pigs: pigs can still sleep soundly, in a state of complete peace, even before they die! ! As for me, I’m constantly worried about the production of these devices; my annual salary is less than the cost of electricity for an ordinary pump. If I get laid off, resign, or leave for any reason, this place where I dedicated my best years will instantly become irrelevant to me—what a fucking proletarian situation! All the value will be squeezed out, and you might not even get enough for retirement! ! ! It’s fucking tragic!
