"I just want to go to Tesla right now to 'play screws.'"
On April 14, Black Brother said in the "Tesla Delayed Entry Group".
It has been more than half a month since Black Brother got the General Worker Offer from Tesla's Shanghai Lingang factory. However, the black brother is still on standby at home. Because Tesla is still in a state of suspension.
"Screw punching" refers to the general workers' jobs in the factory with the lowest professional skills requirements, and front-line workers often laugh at themselves.
When the author tried to verify when Tesla's Shanghai factory would resume work, he happened to encounter this group of "screw people", and thus saw the huge impact of the Shanghai epidemic on front-line industrial workers who could not work from home.
Eating noodles, "lying flat", guarding the door, running... At this moment, everyone broke away from the step-by-step assembly line and made their own choices and persistence.
Here's their story.
01
Active Mr. A:
Expect "hanging on the wall" plus two slices of bacon
Shenzhen Sanhe Shuangfeng Noodle Restaurant, hanging wall provenance
Egg minced, hard onion slices and a handful of noodles.
Mr. A issued his own "sealed meal" in the group today. Immediately someone in the group said it was "hanging on the wall", a meal that was only used for subsistence. But Mr. A didn't think so: "Add two slices of bacon and it's perfect." I don't have high requirements for eating, two meals a day. Just let me go to work early. ”
On March 28, Shanghai began sealing and control screening, and Pudong, Punan and adjacent areas where many car company factories are located were in the first batch of sealing and control areas. Tesla announced on the same day that it began to suspend the production activities of the Shanghai Gigafactory, and only a small number of workers have been maintaining the equipment in the factory so far.
Mr. A is thus "on vacation".
A number of Shanghai car companies, including Tesla, have paid basic salaries to in-service employees who are sealed at home, and the basic salaries of thousands of yuan can still support life.
The problem is that the window period before the closure is extremely short, and the initial notice is only 4 days, and many people do not have a lot of supplies in reserve. At the beginning of the sealing, Mr. A ate a combination of white rice and old dry mother in the rental house for a few days, and only after the community had an affordable group purchase in the later stage, he ate vegetables and meat, "Life has been greatly improved." ”
Tesla Shanghai employee anti-epidemic energy supply package B package UP master: only one curator
Around April 10, Tesla provided employees with anti-epidemic packages, including braised pork, chicken curry, marinated meat rice and other dishes, including pre-made ingredient packages, with an average price of about 15 yuan, and 35 boxes were sent from 35 boxes.
"The price is similar to that on Taobao, which is equivalent to the company not making money to return to the delivery, which is a benefit." The brother in the group said, but this price "screwdriver can not afford to eat", "if there is this price (6 yuan / box) it is good, cheap." ”

Mr. Liang to be hired:
"If you can't stand it, you have to hold it up"
There are still many "quasi-Tesla people" waiting to be hired who cannot buy anti-epidemic kits.
"The group that went on the 15th all 'fell,'" said the black brother, "to go, not to enter the post; to retire, not to go out of Shanghai." The rental house is flat every day. ”
Mr. Liang is "that batch".
Mr. Liang passed the Tesla interview at the end of February and is scheduled to join the company on March 15. At the beginning of March, Mr. Liang arrived in Shanghai, rented a house in a village near the factory, and received a notice of delay in joining the company (13Th). Since then, Tesla has also arranged for Mr. Liang to be nucleic acid for three consecutive days and joined the company on the 29th.
Who expected that Shanghai No. 28 was suddenly sealed, and Mr. Liang entered a "standby" state.
Although he has already received an offer, not being hired means that there is no basic salary, and Mr. Liang needs to seal the control in Shanghai at his own expense.
Tesla surrounding the town of Ping an rental advertisement, 500-1300 yuan / month, shuttle bus 25 minutes, is the "rich people" live
The rent of a single room in the villages around Tesla's Lingang factory is at least about 600 yuan, the water fee is 7, 8 yuan / ton, and the electricity fee is 1 yuan / kWh. Mr. Liang lived on the materials he bought on the night of March 27 and the vegetables sold in the village in the later period, and has now spent one or two thousand yuan.
When asked if he could hold on to it, Mr. Liang said: "If you can't hold it up, you have to hold it up, and you can't walk away." This situation in Shanghai cannot go to other places to add chaos to people's homes. ”
Like Mr. Liang, there are not a few people who arrive in Shanghai from other places to prepare to join the depot. There are already nearly 200 people in the "Tesla Delayed Entry" group alone, some are waiting, and some people have already found an electronics factory on the spot.
It was also mentioned in the group chat that other brands also have many employees who are in a dilemma and are self-funded and controlled.
03
Mr. G to be hired:
Volunteers argue with people every day
Mr. G is also the "15th batch".
Originally, Mr. G's plan was to go to Shanghai on March 13, get a medical examination on the 14th, and join the company on the 15th. "As a result, as soon as I arrived in Shanghai by plane, HR called me to tell me that it was postponed. There is no way but to wait, and now volunteer in the community. ”
Mr. G's logic is simple: "The epidemic is not over, and the company cannot enter, so it contributes a little bit to the epidemic." ”
Mr. G's tent and bed Courtesy of the interviewee
There are more than 500 people in Mr. G's community, and the volunteers' duties are to maintain the rankings, block the corridors and communities, and control the close connection and sub-close connection at home and send and receive express delivery. In addition to a lot of work, preventing the corresponding residents from going out of the building and going out also brings a lot of quarrels.
Since volunteering on March 15, Mr. G, 26, has been guarding a tent during the day and sleeping in the corridors at night, eating box lunches, arguing, washing in the security room, and spending his usual time.

"Very good" to leave:
No more 12
The 20-year-old "very good" is a "rebel". On April 14, "Very Good" gleefully announced that he would leave Tesla, check the traffic and hometown policies, and go back to lie flat for a while.
Why give up the time spent lying flat in Shanghai "with pay", or even the possible bonus in April? "Very good, said because Tesla is about to increase production next month, "now 880 vehicles / day is already working overtime, soon to add to 1000 vehicles / day, and finally to 1300 vehicles / day." But the monthly salary will increase by dozens of yuan, and two shifts. "Brother, (you can) go."
"Very good" is to see Theba brother said that Tesla implements an 8-hour three-shift system and has a high income, so he chose to enter the factory after last year's National Day.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the factory, the three-shift system first became three shifts, and then became a 12-hour two-shift system. "Except for the long day shift, everything else is not good."
"Very good" into the factory coincided with Tesla's sales take-off. According to the data of the Association, from September last year to March this year, Tesla's monthly sales in China exceeded 50,000 vehicles for seven consecutive months, of which the average monthly sales in January and March exceeded 60,000 vehicles.
Tesla factory canteen meals
But this only means "obscure" for "very good". Due to the tight pace of production, "very good" did not have time to eat a delicious canteen for 10 minutes on foot, and could only eat a difficult box lunch in the factory; and smoking was not allowed inside and outside the factory; masks were not allowed to be taken off in the factory, and mobile phones were not allowed to walk.
"They do the same abroad, but abroad is 8 hours, we are 12 hours." "Very good," said a tearful kitten, "[I] won't work 12 (hours/shift) anymore." ”
"Very good" sent a tearful cat cat head expression, saying that it will not be done in the future 12.
"Very good" to run away "expensive". He has been in the job for half a year, and the normal departure is 30 days in advance. In order to leave the job as soon as possible, "very good" took the initiative to give up the corresponding salary in early April, which is not a small amount for the "very good" who has a basic income of about 6,000 yuan per month and a charge of 5,000 yuan for the game.
But "very good" is very calm.
"What money are you taking to run away?" I asked.
"You don't have to deal with that." "Very good" suggested that I (if I joined Tesla) it is best to live in Situan (Shanghai Situan Town, 11 kilometers away from Tesla factory), "When Situan rests, it is convenient to go out." ”

Some enterprises in Shanghai show signs of resuming work
Incomplete statistics show that at present, many Shanghai vehicle and parts suppliers, including Tesla, SAIC Volkswagen, SAIC-GM, and SAIC Passenger Cars, are in a state of suspension, production reduction, and closed-loop small-batch production.
However, whether to adopt closed production is not decided by the government, but depends on the security and ability of the production unit to guarantee raw materials, parts and living materials and living conditions.
On the evening of April 14, He Xiaopeng, founder of Xiaopeng Motors, released a circle of friends dynamics, saying that if Shanghai and the surrounding supply chain enterprises can not find a way to dynamically resume work and production, all Chinese automakers may stop work and production in May; on the 15th, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business and CEO of Smart Car BU, posted in the circle of friends that if Shanghai cannot resume work and production, all technology/industrial industries involving Shanghai's supply chain after May will be fully suspended, especially the automobile industry.
The good news is that since April 11, Shanghai has implemented differentiated prevention and control management at different levels according to three types: sealing and control areas, control areas and prevention areas. A number of production enterprises are in the control area, which means that it is one step closer to the orderly resumption of production that strictly follows the epidemic prevention policy.
On April 15, there were rumors that Tesla would begin a limited resumption of production capacity on the 19th. During the same period, SAIC Motor issued guidelines for the prevention and control of the epidemic in resuming work and production, requiring "all production enterprises to start the stress test of resuming work and production on April 18 according to the situation." ”
