The release date is in 2013. Once this article was published, it immediately sparked widespread discussion and attention on the Tianya community. The author, Emperor Yongle II, explored the solidification of social classes and the difficulties faced by children from poor families through this article, triggering in-depth thinking on the relationship between social equity and individual efforts.
Nowadays, it becomes increasingly clear that "character determines destiny". Character is something that is deeply ingrained in one's bone marrow. The formation of character has little to do with school education, but is mostly determined by family background and the environment in which one grows up. The first step after graduating from university often plays a crucial role, and in this regard, children from ordinary families are already at a great disadvantage from the starting line. In an era of materialism, when money determines everything and becomes the ultimate belief of people, it is also an era when "aristocratic families" and social classes emerge accordingly. A group of intern college students. Based on my own observations in the past half a year, I work in the Human Resources Department of a commercial bank. Last year, we recruited many interns from various schools. However, an internship is not the same as a formal employment. Previously, I was relatively young and didn't pay much attention to the previous interns. This year, I am in charge of these children. We recruited approximately 60 interns here, but in the end, no more than 10 will be hired. These internships are actually just a gimmick of the bank. We can find some cheap labor that costs only a few hundred yuan per month for the bank. It is also a form of publicity for the school and a fulfillment of some social obligation. Of course, only those students recommended by the school as the so-called good students can enter the bank for an internship. In our system, the bank is a purely state-monopolized institution. Compared with other industries, the treatment is relatively high. Working in the bank can get preferential loan interest rates, and it is relatively easier to get a loan to buy a house. In a word, it is the kind of unit that is envied by the world. Next, let's talk about how these children take the first step in their lives and what the actual results are. Sometimes, when getting along with these children who are nearly 10 years younger than me, I really feel that all idealism is nonsense, and only reality is the reality that cannot be avoided. They are just college graduates, especially the seniors. In February last year, I received a group of children from the best university in our province. They came to our unit, from which it can be seen that these children are about to graduate from a prestigious 211 key university. However, they can be divided into the following categories: The first category is children from rural families who study very hard and are excellent in school. There are about 20 of them. The second category is children from county towns, with about a dozen of them. The third category is the so-called children from big cities, with about a dozen of them. This is the impression I got when I saw their information. I remember vividly that in March last year, they came to the bank for the first time. Because it was their first day of reporting, we prepared an office. In the morning, we waited for these children to report. After work, we started waiting for the arrival of these students. My colleague told me: "I tell you, I know which children will come early, which children will greet us when they come in, which children will chat with us for a few words, and which children will come in and pour water for us. Let's make a bet, and the loser will treat the winner to Pizza Hut at noon..." Then, he took out a bunch of resumes and said that these children would come relatively earlier. Then he handed this part of the resumes to me. Indeed, the results were that the earliest dozen children were those in the resumes he gave me. Slowly, these children came one after another. Then, some of them came in very nervously and didn't say much, some came in smiling and chatted with us for a few words, some would naturally say: "You are our leaders from now on. Let me pour some water for you.", and some children would be very casual. The result was as my colleague predicted, with only two errors. At that time, I was surprised. I treated him to lunch at noon and asked him how he could tell. He said this was not his unique skill, but an inspiration he got from the vice president when he followed the vice president to receive intern students before. In fact, it is very simple. By looking at the household registration address and the parents' work units in the resume materials, we can group them and accordingly summarize the personality traits and ways of dealing with things of several types of children in the same university. Because some things are common, things are grouped by similarity, and people are grouped by category. From an older person's perspective, it is easy to get an initial inference. The following is the analysis process at the same time. First, most of the children who come early are from rural areas. Because they attach great importance to this being the first time in their lives to leave the school for an official unit internship, they will attach great importance to it. Because it is recommended by the school, they will naturally call home. The guidance that parents can give is nothing more than to cherish this opportunity. The school attaches importance to it and asks them to go early on the first day. Naturally, these children come the earliest. However, they are all nervous and have almost no communication with us. Second, without exception, the few children who come in and greet us and pour water for us, their parents are all working in the Party and government organs. It is really accurate. Third, the few children who come in casually and even joke around, their families are all in business, big or small. But the flexible attitude of their parents can be seen in them. Fourth, there are two or three children who seem rather aloof, relatively confident, and are neither humble nor pushy towards us. Without exception, these children are from the intellectual families in big cities. Because of this small episode, I began to find it very interesting and began to think that I should analyze this group of children. Ten years ago, I was also a member of this group. I know very well in my heart that only a few of these children can stay at the end of the internship, and most of them still have to find jobs by themselves. At that time, I just had one thought, that is, to keep their contact information and see how they take the first step after half a year, one year, and one and a half years. Maybe I can trace their appearance ten years later, that is, me now, and my friends, classmates, and colleagues around me now. It is this thought that made me pay attention to observing them and watching them take the first step from being children to adults. Unexpectedly, after more than a year of observation, I really summed up a lot of things and also saw my own problems from it. Choosing which department After these college students finished visiting the unit and reported on the first day, in the afternoon, a meeting was needed for these children in the conference room. This kind of thing is a matter of face and also a publicity point for the bank. Naturally, a vice president-level speech will be given, followed by the manager of the Human Resources Department, and then specifically tell these children which departments to go for an internship. While the leaders were talking a bunch of bureaucratic and formulaic words to these children, a small test took shape in my mind: Let them choose the department they want to work in by themselves. They cannot write only one, but three. They can communicate with their parents by phone. Give them 20 minutes to consider. They cannot communicate with each other directly in the conference room. If they want guidance, they can go to the corridor and call their parents or relatives for consultation. The result is that about ten children clearly wrote down the names of the departments, and the positions they chose are quite good. Some wrote them casually, some departments were imagined by themselves, or they roughly knew the nature of the work, but could not accurately name the department, so they made one up. There are also a few who just wrote down a few words like "collecting money" and "lending". These are their four-year finance, economics and other majors in college. Then, of course, according to the bank's internship process, we told them how great the bank is, how promising it is, and how... When I held the small notes of their self-recommended departments, I made such a discovery: Most of a dozen of children who can accurately write down the bank departments have parents who are either in government agencies or in business. Only one rural child can accurately write it down. When asked the reason, it is because he has a relative working in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Most of the children from intellectual families choose administrative, management, and office work, and they will definitely not be related to the business of the outreach department. Most of the children from business families want to intern as customer managers. Most of the children whose parents work in government agencies want to be assistant supervisors. It is really interesting. Little by little, I can see their characters and their choices. When the meeting was over, the vice president told me that this year, the bank would probably recruit 15 fresh graduates. We need to deal with various relationships. Among these children, only two or three excellent ones can be selected to stay. Let us be responsible for carefully screening them, and in the end, this will be the main basis for the unit's recruitment. This matter is entrusted to me. When I come back and see these children again, I feel a little flustered. Sixty are all good students from the school, but only two or three can come here to work after the internship. The first step in life can start here. The other fifty-seven or eight children have to go to the crowded job fairs again and go through interviews and print resumes again and again. Suddenly, I feel very depressed. The next day, it is time to arrange departments for them. It is the same in every unit. Some departments are extremely comfortable, while others are extremely tiring. In fact, every department wants some children to run errands, but for us, it is just running errands, but for them, there are also good and bad departments. If you are arranged to be a lobby manager, you have to stand all the time, hang a banner, and run around the lobby all day; if you are arranged to be outside the general manager's office, you just answer the phone and copy some materials; if you are arranged to the Supervision Department, sorry, follow to install the cash dispenser and direct the workers to install the camera. Because the internship cannot be arranged to do window business, most of them are internal affairs, outreach, and odd jobs. As the saying goes, where there are people, there is a world of disputes. Don't look at this small internship, the struggle has begun. Early the next morning, I received a total of four or five phone calls, and there were also colleagues who directly went to my office. Those with higher positions are department managers, and those with lower positions are ordinary colleagues. They started to greet me: "Put this or that child directly under my jurisdiction." Without exception, they all wanted to have a meal with me, haha... There was no way but to assign the corresponding children to them according to their requests. The number of people is five, and there are more than fifty left. I had to call them one by one, and when one department was full, I went to the next one. Among them, except for those whose families can contact the bank and say hello, the others are random, maybe it is luck. However, out of humanitarianism, I set a rule: rotation after one month! The story of Xiaopang and his father Time passed like this. Occasionally, when I had lunch at noon or met colleagues from various departments in the office building, I would ask about the situation of these interns. Of course, there are all kinds of situations. It is not to the extent of causing trouble, but there are those who are liked and praised, and of course, there are those who complain, "Are the college students trained to be brainless?", and there are also those who directly scold and ask me to transfer the idiots to other departments and replace them with smart ones... Among the praises, commendations, complaints, and even direct curses from these colleagues, I found a pattern: 1. Children from rural families generally do not communicate well. When they are new in a department, they do not know how to communicate, get closer, let alone build relationships.
