I got off work at 3 a.m. and woke up to 12 noon
In the past, I often stayed up late and slept late, two or three o'clock, but basically I slept very lightly, and I would wake up at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and once I woke up, it was difficult to fall asleep, but recently I was particularly able to sleep, and I could basically fall asleep when I turned my head upside down, and there was only one reason, that is, tiredness!
I remember when I first entered the BYD factory, the two people in the same dormitory snored like thunder, the first night until four or five o'clock in the morning I slept for a while, the second night I only slept for two or three hours, and the third night I had too much insomnia and after all, I was physically tired, so it gradually became normal. But basically get off work at eight o'clock every day, look at the mobile phone and it will be eleven or twelve o'clock, and wake up at half past five the next day, and later, even if you go to bed in the early morning, you don't need to alarm the clock, basically more than 6 o'clock, and you can wake up with a little movement in the dormitory!
If I wasn't tired, I wouldn't have slept more than 8 hours!
How tired it is, ten people try to work and one stays
At three o'clock in the morning, there were 9 people living in the dormitory when I came back from work, and this number changed every day. I was woken up at nine o'clock, and I didn't open my eyes in a daze, and I heard someone say that he would go out for some dinner and leave and go to Zhangqiu to do other work! This is probably a guy who just arrived yesterday!
The day before yesterday came a young man with glasses, dragging a suitcase, sleeping on my side of the bunk, yesterday at ten o'clock packed up things and ran away, the day before yesterday I bought a mention of pure water, it seems that the preparation is to work hard for a long time, but it is likely that the trial job backfired, directly gave up, before leaving the bag stuffed a few bottles of pure water, the remaining 5 bottles said to me! Probably when he couldn't find the socket to use, I did a favor, and I couldn't take a few bottles of water away to send me right!
He went not to Meituan, but to the warehouse of RT-Mart supermarket in another logistics park not far away, and Darun found that he was also engaged in a similar business to Meituan and Duoduo Food, that is, to deliver food to users. But there is also a difference, RT-Mart is using riders for delivery!
Accommodation
The logistics park where we work is generally far away from the city, the traffic is not convenient, although the bus passes, but the interval is not short, and there is basically only one shift per hour during the non-peak commuting hour.
And there is no urban community nearby, our dormitory is a bungalow rented by an agent in the village!
In fact, the bungalow is fine, if it is a residential building, it is really very crowded and uncomfortable to live 20 people in a three-bedroom apartment, but in a small rural courtyard, it may be more comfortable to live 20 people.
In our small courtyard, our large dormitory is the main hall of the farmhouse, which is a large room with three bays, with 7 bunk beds, people come and go, and generally maintain a accommodation ratio of 7-10 people!
There is also a side hall where about 5-8 people live, not sure how many people!
The west wing room is a single room, which is rented by a colleague at his own expense, 300 yuan a month, and the south wing room lives for 2 people, which is also rented separately, 300 yuan a month! The east wing is a couple of landlords and two old people!
Rural courtyard, in addition to the toilet conditions are almost good, nothing else is good, after all, the landlord is still in charge, so as not to make garbage everywhere! If the urban residential buildings are all tenants, more than a dozen people make instant noodles every day, and if they are not cleaned in time, they will also be hygienic!
There is also a good thing about the village, if you want to go out for a walk! 50 meters south of the village, there is a small river, a bit polluted! The rest is the grove!
In this village, farming has probably been abandoned in recent years, and all the farmland has been turned into forests, so it is easy to plant trees and let them grow, and there is no need to water and fertilize.
It doesn't look like a snow in the woods, but it's actually a pile of flying willow trees!
Catkins flying
I would like to call it a part-time job
In fact, this kind of work, I prefer to call it "part-time job", in my opinion, work is a kind of two-way choice between you and me, a bit like free love, part-time work is a bit of a last resort for life, similar to finding a similar meaning to get married quickly!
Our working hours are from 16:30 to 01:30 the next day, which looks like a 9-hour work system, excluding 30 minutes of eating, isn't this close to an 8-hour work system?
Naive, outside of punching in, I arrived at 15:50, had a meeting, and basically worked at a little more than 16 o'clock! I can't finish my work at 1:30 in the morning, and I basically finish my job at 2 o'clock, and then punch in, and the notification prompts "leave after punching in"? This is also fake, after punching in, you have to pull the pallet, that is, to transport the goods to the exit of the warehouse and wait for the driver to load the car! Then clean the warehouse, basically all done is after 3 o'clock in the morning or after 3 o'clock, and the day before yesterday it was more than 4 o'clock in the morning!
These logistics companies are the most famous enterprises in China, which are JD.com, SF Express, Meituan, Taobao and various express companies with annual revenues of tens of billions. You did 12 to count 12 for you, don't talk about conscience and play tricks on attendance, everyone is a temporary worker, and they dare not speak out, either the old employees are used to it, or the new employees are not used to leaving, anyway, in a word, there are many people, although ten people eventually leave one person or so, but after all, there is no shortage of people in our society, and the intermediaries continue to bring people to visit and try jobs!
And the logistics industry is the hardest, the most tired, but there is no need to raise wages, except for some special periods at the end of the year, many people go home for the New Year, and do not care about the income of the ten days, so the price may be slightly higher during the Spring Festival, and they are not afraid of not being able to recruit people at all!
The hourly wage is 22 yuan an hour in Jinan City, and 14-17 yuan an hour in the logistics industry!
Take Jingdong warehouse as an example, Jingdong 12 hours, such as 8-8 o'clock, is considered normal working time, generally 170 yuan a day, sometimes there will be an additional 30 yuan stable post subsidy and the like, but if you can't reach the specified construction period, you may not be settled!
12 hours, deducting 1 hour of eating, that is, 11 hours, calculated at 170 yuan, one hour is 15.45 yuan, if calculated according to 200, then the hour is 18.1 yuan! JD overtime is calculated at 15 yuan/hour! During special periods, the subsidy may be increased by a few dollars, and when it is particularly busy, the overtime work reaches 6 hours a day, plus the normal 12 hours, which is 18 hours!
Meituan claims that the first 7 days are calculated at 19 yuan per hour, and according to its attendance, even if it is calculated for 9 hours, it is 172 yuan a day, which is equivalent to 11 hours of real working time, and the hourly wage is only about 15.5!
Other express companies may have fewer tricks, such as postal, Zhongtong, etc., which are basically 15-17 yuan/hour, and SF Express is 21 yuan/hour, which is the highest hourly wage system, but the workload of the bottom feedback is also very tiring.
There is too much room for imagination in the recruitment information of major logistics companies!
For example, this recruitment, I will analyze it for you, so that the layman can understand it thoroughly!
First of all, 618 is a festival, and you can definitely get 200-240 a day, but it is by no means easy and simple, as for using smartphones and knowing 26 English letters, it basically has nothing to do with work! Jingdong is not allowed to bring mobile phones!
Secondly, he said that the standard salary is 170-180 yuan, and that is because the warehouse is different, and the difference is 10 yuan. But why is it 170-180 a day, but it is said that you can get 200-240 yuan, is it a reward for doing well? Wrong, it's overtime pay! One hour of overtime is 15 yuan, he said in it, that is to say, on the basis of 170, you can get 200 yuan for 2 hours of overtime every day, but 618 is too busy, it is estimated that the average overtime is not less than 4 hours a day, that is 230-240 yuan! That's why he dared to promise 200-240 yuan a day, that's 16 hours of work, you say simple and easy, is this possible? It's simple, because you can read the name of the product almost literally, but can you work 16 hours a day in a row? It's up to you what you think!
Again, there is no shortage of people in China, if you don't do it, someone else will do it, and many times, more people are recruited than needed, but often many people will not go a second time, or do not want to go a second time, because they are too tired!
There are also people who feel that they are strong and can endure hardships, and they can do more to make money!
Is it worth the hard work?
This is a heavy topic. Because for people with financial pressure, there is no worthwhile or not, because their top priority is to make money to support their families, except for the logistics industry, which does not require interviews and re-examinations and other notices, the only other ones are express delivery, takeaway, and online car-hailing!
Logistics is simply tired, express delivery online car-hailing, in addition to tired, the income can not be guaranteed at the beginning, the second is to run on the road for a long time, bumps and bumps are inevitable, waste of fuel money is small, traffic accidents are big!
There is a shocking set of figures, in 2022, the number of traffic deaths nationwide exceeded 60,000! I remember that a few years ago, the number was about 10,000! Why is it now increasing to more than sixty thousand!
Therefore, enduring hardship has always been a last resort, and it doesn't matter if it's worth it or not! If there is a choice if you don't have to endure hardship, then of course it's worth it!
A conversation between two elderly people on the bus about enduring hardship
Just last week, when I was riding the bus, the conversation between two elderly people in the back seat reminded me and made me think deeply about the relationship between heavy physical work and physical health!
Regarding the relationship between physical labor and physical health, no expert has ever spoken, at most we have heard of overwork, the so-called overwork is often a praise of a person's dedication to the job, and not only physical labor, but even mental work!
But the conversation between the two old people made me unexpectedly gain some new understanding. An old man talked about his work when he was young, and finally said that he was too tired from the work he used to do, and now he has a problem, and now he can't stand up when he squats, and his knee joints are uncomfortable! He said another old man, it's good that you suffered less when you were young, and your health is good!
Another old man said, who said that there is less hardship, no less food, I still carried a big bag at that time, and I also burned the boiler and made those coals all day long! Now the health is not good!
I used to do a very easy job, every day by bus to work, the job is in front of the computer and customers to chat about products, send information, call to communicate about orders, every day is not tired, after work at night I even walk 1-20,000 steps a day to exercise!
It is not a problem to say that tens of thousands of steps a day are not a problem, and later I went to Jingdong as a temporary worker only to find that labor walking and exercise walking, it is not a grade at all, Jingdong working hours are 8 days, at most it is to wear out the feet, about 45,000 steps a day, equivalent to 67 miles, and they have all persevered, except for the pain in the feet, I don't feel tired!
But after working in Meituan for more than ten days, the average number of steps per day is 35,000, but they are all pulling the ground cow to carry the weight forward, in fact, it is a lot more tiring than Jingdong pushing a trolley, so many days, thinking of what the old man on the bus said, it is really uncomfortable knee joints when squatting down and standing!
I've only been working for half a month, if I continue to do this for a long time, I can imagine what the consequences are, although I still walk like flying and alive now, and in the future I will definitely have a great impact on my knee joints as the old man said! Of course, the wear and tear of physical labor is more than that! Recently I have been very sleepy, I found that other colleagues are also very sleepy, basically they all get up at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, some get up at 2 o'clock, even if they go to bed at 5 o'clock, they can sleep until 2 o'clock, that is 9 hours of sleep, if it is not excessive fatigue, who can sleep so long in the daytime!
Fatigue is real, tiredness is also real, and it's true that most people don't do it for long
The bottom operators of the logistics industry, including the operators of large logistics companies' warehouses, transfer station sorting, commodity shelves and shipping warehouses, etc., my evaluation is that if you can't do it, don't do it! Disadvantages: more tired than the construction site, no bottom line for overtime, sorry for the labor pay, slightly slower than others will be reprimanded, and there is involution between workers! Of course, there are advantages, but there is only one, you really can't find a job, and this is also an opportunity to work and make money!
However, if it is not forced by life, there is no need to engage in this industry, there is a general unspoken rule in this industry, whether it is sorting or loading and unloading, there is a trial post! "Trial job" is not to give you wages, let you work for free for 2-4 hours, try to do it, continue to do it, if it doesn't work, you will leave!
So, if you try out and don't feel good for a few minutes, stop wasting time and just stop the trial and leave, because any reluctance to stick to it could make you work for nothing. For example, at the end of the trial, if you feel that it is not appropriate, isn't it a few hours for nothing! Reluctantly insist on working for three days and two days and then run away, some logistics companies don't want to settle wages for you, and some of them illegally stipulate that there is no salary for less than seven days, although you can complain or arbitrate, after all, it is a waste of energy!
These are some observations and summaries of logistics and related industries after working in Meituan for 15 days.
