It is said that choosing a job requires choosing a state-owned enterprise, which is not only stable in work but also good in welfare, and ordinary units have no sense of crisis. This is the view of the old people in my hometown. If you can enter a state-owned enterprise, it will be a great good thing for your parents. State-owned enterprises are not easy to be eliminated, and holidays are certain at ordinary times. There is not much pressure. Without pressure, of course, there is less motivation.

The inefficiency of state-owned enterprises is also the cause of people and management. As far as people are concerned, no one has ever run an enterprise as their own home. No one really cares about how much profit this enterprise will have, how to reduce costs and improve efficiency, and everyone wants to climb up by themselves, as long as nothing happens. First of all, safety is always the most important issue, and we all work with the mentality of not seeking success, but seeking nothing. If this continues, the work efficiency will definitely be particularly slow.
Although state-owned enterprises are equivalent to an iron rice bowl, their wages are not very high. When I first entered, I started with ordinary employees. I think it will take at least ten years to get over it. The most important thing is whether I can rise in ten years. 10 years later, I have entered middle age and it is difficult to change jobs. Therefore, some people only enter the state-owned enterprises as a transition, find a good springboard, and after working for several years, accumulate work experience, add their own abilities, and become small leaders of a small company.
