Who should feel ashamed that Tesla pays ordinary workers high salaries and "maliciously subsidizes" workers during the epidemic?
It's no secret that Tesla's hiring of workers is circulating widely on the Internet.
Tesla for quality inspectors, production operators, logistics operators and other front-line positions of recruitment, the basic salary of 5341 yuan / month, the comprehensive annual income of 110,000-120,000 yuan / year. In addition to five insurances and one fund, there are also 5% supplementary provident fund, annual leave, internal bonuses and so on.
Tesla is not allowed to work more than 36 hours of overtime per month, and overtime pay is 46 yuan per hour.
The recruitment requirements are not high, and secondary school and high school education can be hired.
Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory, which resumed work during the epidemic, issued epidemic subsidies to employees, and the special subsidy for each employee per day was 300-400 yuan, and three meals were free.
These treatments, in China's current general workers' workplace, can indeed be called a ceiling-level high salary. This kind of employee treatment does not exist in China's private enterprises, and may only be achieved by a small number of state-owned enterprises in the system.
Tesla's treatment of employees has made many Chinese bosses and experts dissatisfied, who say that Tesla "maliciously subsidizes" workers and disrupts China's labor market.
Not long ago, when Japanese companies, Korean companies and other companies withdrew their investment from China, the subsidies given to Chinese employees were also higher than the market imagination, and they were also attacked as malicious subsidies.
In short, in the eyes of some Chinese capital, giving employees good treatment is malicious.
Foreign enterprises should be like them, using workers as tools and consumables, suppressing the treatment of employees as much as possible, and fully extracting the demographic dividend, which is the right approach at the right time and is conducive to the current overall situation and economic development. If Chinese workers are paid too high, they believe it will damage the competitiveness of Chinese industries and is "not conducive to the struggle of young people."
Unfortunately, China's working class has lost its right to speak, and they can only choose to suffer in silence, save money and use less children.
It is reasonable to say that China has long passed the stage of primitive capital accumulation, and its economy and industry have been greatly developed, and it should have begun to return development dividends to its own people. However, all the capital-centered development mechanisms in the market have not changed, and capital has gained a one-sided discourse power and policy space. Efficiency is given absolute priority, and fairness is often overlooked. The dominant position of capital is strengthened, even to the point of sacredness.
In the United States and in the capitalist countries of the West, capital is at least constrained by trade unions, religions, and leftist ideologies, and although we disdainfully call it the white left, its ideas have indeed profoundly affected the entire Western society, placing human values in a sacred position. The capitalist in the West, whether he wants it or not, must show respect for his employees and their complete equality in social rights.
The high-tech industry in the United States, especially the Internet community, especially shares this view and position. Tesla is no exception.
On the other hand, the term "demographic dividend" can be discussed in the media, and the status of the working class is basically equivalent to the lowest level of society, which inevitably makes people feel that time and space are reversed and the system is confused.
