Telecom Operators Top 10 Rumors No. 3: China Mobile Employees Have the Highest Salary Level?
In the communications industry, there has always been a seemingly conventional saying that China Mobile's employee compensation level is the highest, forming a chain of contempt: China Mobile employee compensation > China Telecom > China Unicom.
Even this statement has become a social stereotype, as long as the general public talks about China Mobile employees, it is still linked to "high wages and good benefits".
Is this a fact? Let's analyze it today with data.
China Mobile's social stereotype of "high wages and good welfare" has a reason -
As early as 1998, China Mobile's employee salary expenditure was 1.387 billion yuan, and this year, the total number of its employees was 12530 people, on average, the average annual salary was 110,700 yuan, which was converted into a monthly salary of 9225 yuan, even if various taxes and fees were deducted, it was as high as 8000 yuan per month!
What level is this?! Let's put it this way, the salary of a teacher in the main cities of the eastern developed provinces was 500 yuan per month, while the rice was 5 cents a catty, pork was 4 yuan a catty, and cabbage was 2 cents a catty. At that time, the house price in Beijing was only 2,000 yuan!
This high-income state lasted for several years —
In 1999, the total compensation of China Mobile employees was 2.256 billion yuan, the number of employees was 20,243, the average annual salary of employees was 111,400 yuan, and the monthly salary was close to 10,000. In that year, the average annual wage of employees in Shanghai, the highest wage in the country, was 14147 yuan, and the monthly wage was 1179 yuan. China Mobile employees earn ten times the salary of Shanghai employees.
In 2000, the total compensation of China Mobile employees was 3.991 billion yuan, the total number of employees was 38,343, and the average annual salary of employees fell back to 104,000 yuan, but compared with employees in other industries, it was still at a high level.
In 2001, the total compensation of China Mobile employees was 5.325 billion yuan, the total number of employees was 38,748, and the average annual salary was as high as 137,400 yuan, even after deducting various taxes, there were 10,000 yuan per month! The annual salary of urban workers in that year was only 10,870 yuan.
……
This situation continued until 2004, when the SASAC issued the first wave of "wage reduction orders" to China Mobile, requiring that the wage level of employees in several developed provinces in the southeast be reduced to avoid intensifying social conflicts. However, the effect of this salary cut order is not good, there are countermeasures under the policy, and the salary and benefits of China Mobile employees are still at the top level of society.
Therefore, in 2007, 2010 and 2015, the SASAC continued to issue different degrees of "salary reduction orders" and "salary limit orders", vowing to reduce China Mobile's salary level to the end and restore it to the normal level of society.
By now, the goal of the salary reduction order and the salary restriction order should be regarded as the initial results, and the salary level of China Mobile has fallen back to the lower middle level of society.
In 2020, the per capita labor cost of China Mobile employees is 230,000, note that it is a labor cost, which includes various taxes and benefits, and the real estimate is about 150,000, and this is the "average".
The latest data, the first half of 2021 China Mobile employee compensation total expenditure is 38.72 billion yuan, according to 446,900 employees to calculate, the average employee half-year salary of 86,600 yuan, monthly salary of 14,400 yuan, of course, this is also the concept of labor costs, the monthly salary should be less than 10,000.
Such a salary level has nothing to do with "high salary and good welfare"!
The above combed the trajectory of China Mobile's own salary level, from the perspective of purchasing power, China Mobile's salary level in the past 20 years is a parabolic state, the current China Mobile is facing the "create a world-class information service technology innovation company" of the new development positioning for transformation, if successful, China Mobile will be rejuvenated, employee compensation is expected to present a new parabola, but if it fails, the old parabolic will continue to affect the next few years of employee salary level - continue to decline.
So back to the headline, is China Mobile's employee compensation level the highest among the three major operators?
The total compensation data for 2021 has not yet been released, so we still use the 2020 data to make a comparison -
China Mobile's per capita annual salary is 236,500 yuan and the average monthly salary is 19,700. (Note: The above caliber is labor costs, converted according to 6:4, the average annual salary is 141,900 yuan, and the monthly salary is 11,820 yuan)
China Telecom's per capita annual salary is 227,500 yuan and the average monthly salary is 19,000. (The average annual salary is 136,500 yuan, and the monthly salary is 11,400 yuan)
China Unicom's per capita annual salary is 214,400 yuan and the average monthly salary is 17,900. (The average annual salary is 128,600 yuan, and the monthly salary is 10,700 yuan)
From the above data, China Mobile's per capita annual salary is the highest, but the difference is only between millimeters. More critically, China Mobile has 450,000 employees, China Telecom has 280,000 employees, and China Unicom has 250,000 employees.
Finally, I hope that the three major operators can seize the opportunity of 5G and seize the hashrate network to successfully complete the transformation, and in the future, our salary level will not be in the weak chicken fight between the three, but to benchmark with the Internet giants and financial industry giants!
