A message for those who have just started working: Although these words may seem useless, I hope they can serve as a reference. Many people who have just entered the workforce or have been working there for a few years tend to feel frustrated, especially in the chemical industry. After all, recruitment processes in chemical plants can be chaotic and varied, with workers ranging from middle school graduates to doctoral students; as a result, many people feel lost. So I hope everyone understands one thing: unless you have specific skills that can help generate profits for the company, and if the factory is in decent condition and you want to develop a career in the chemical industry, then you need to persevere for a few years to gain experience. In general, those who work in chemical plants usually reach around 40 years old before they can move up, unless they have connections. If you’re still working shift work at that age, it’s not necessarily because you lack ability, but at least you haven’t made an effort (except for those in special positions). Moreover, when companies from outside try to recruit people, they expect those individuals to contribute to their company’s success. In short: if you can’t bring any value to the company, and when the boss has many options available, all you’re left with is the right to complain.
