Under the scorching summer of Chongqing, an eye-catching meter reading incident was unveiled. This is not because of the flaws of the smart gas meter itself, nor because of its mysterious remote control capabilities, but because of a group of tenacious meter readers. Under the tremendous pressure of their work, they "manipulated" it all in a seemingly simple but extremely subtle way – and they chose to do it perfunctorily.
The stories of these 18 temporary workers reveal a side of humanity. Under the vast sky of Chongqing Gas Company, 18 of the 4,000 employees are burdened with heavy responsibilities. They are responsible for reading gas meters for 141,000 households, and this is only a part of their lives. On average, more than 7,800 households need to be managed per person, which is a staggering number, and it weighs on the hearts of these workers like a mountain.
If you try to calculate their workload in terms of 22 working days per month, you will find that it is not just a number, but a challenge to their resilience. In Chongqing, the country's largest municipality, whether the number of positions and the distribution of work tasks among front-line employees are reasonable has undoubtedly become a question worth pondering.
The emergence of smart gas meters seems to be a symbol of scientific and technological progress, however, since there is already such a high-tech equipment, why do we need manual meter reading? The reason for this is like a veil in the fog, which is elusive.
The four No. 5 batteries installed under the smart gas meter are like the secrets hidden behind the city. Open the watch and press the red button to start, and the suspected mobile phone-like signal source in the lower left corner of the watch has triggered people's infinite reverie. What is this for?
