Taiwanese baggage shop, is there no benefit in getting promoted? Logically speaking, getting promoted is a great thing, and many people do their best just to move up the ranks. However, something new happened in New Taipei, Taiwan. There were high-level job vacancies, but no one wanted them. Today, I would like to invite everyone to take a look with Uncle Tiao.
That's how it goes. New Taipei City Police Department has seven second-tier three-star police officers currently vacant. This so-called "second-tier three-star" is a rating mechanism in Taiwan's police circles, and its next level is "second-tier two-star".
I want to educate everyone here. In Taiwan, police promotion is much more fair and equitable than that of ordinary civil servants, because police officers are scored based on seniority and performance. There are 12 positions in the Taiwanese police ranging from sergeant, sergeant to sergeant. Ranks are promoted sequentially. Except for the top four ranks, which are appointed and removed by Taiwan's "Ministry of the Interior" based on their positions, promotions to other ranks are determined based on chief officer evaluation, reward and punishment merit scores, and corresponding job examination scores.
When a vacancy occurs in the police force, there is actually a "filling list" behind it, and the filling priority is determined based on the police officer's qualifications and performance. However, this time, seven second-tier three-star police officers were appointed. However, the chiefs of the "second-tier and two-star" police stations who were given priority for promotion have given up. The last seven chiefs who have been promoted to the 57th position are like fifty people "giving up promotion."
The grassroots police station chiefs have a heavy workload. Day and night, so many people would rather "sell their lives" than get promoted. Why does this happen?
Taiwanese media conducted an in-depth investigation into this, and said three words: "The salary is low." He calculated an account for the reporter. As a grassroots director, he has a supervisor, police duty bonus and overtime pay. In total, he earns a lot of money; while a higher-level police officer has a regular job. It's a promotion, but it's a back-office position, and the monthly salary is about NT$25,000 (NT$, the same below). For many directors, their income has been greatly reduced, and they would rather give up the promotion.
This happens despite the promotion. The "upside-down" phenomenon inevitably makes everyone give up on promotion. However, police officer surnamed Huang, who once served as the New Taipei City Police Division Chief, said that in addition to the lack of salary, "some old police officers regard computer work as a career, and they have to start over." Being familiar with official document work, coupled with his age, the chance of further promotion may be slim, so he will try to find ways not to be promoted. ”
In short, although some grassroots directors have priority for promotion, they are old and are not used to using computers; and there are few opportunities for promotion in the future, it is better to be a "ten thousand year director".
Take New Taipei City as an example. Currently, the second-tier and two-star directors in New Taipei City are 57 years old and 27 years old, with an average age of 43 years and an average seniority of 4 years and 5 months. However, the longest seniority officer is 10 years and 4 months. There are two people with more than 9 years of experience. The average age is indeed not young, so it is no wonder that they want to pave a way out for themselves. If the old directors are not promoted, what will happen as long as the positions are continued? The problem of "old chief" was that a young chief who had just been promoted to a second-tier and two-star police officer was inexplicably turned into a "rookie chief" because his senior officers had given up on promotion and he only worked as chief for half a year before being promoted to full police officer. As a result, two major problems have arisen in the police force. On the one hand, the aging of grassroots police officers, said Zheng Jianguo, director of the Personnel Office of the New Taipei City Police Department, said that the aging of police station directors may cause problems in physical strength, fighting spirit and work attitude. , having a negative impact on the overall police team.
On the other hand, the "rookie officers" who are promoted have very little qualifications and may have insufficient professional capabilities and experience. There may be a situation where young generals lead veterans. Regardless of whether the veterans obeyed or not, their overall combat capabilities were also impacted and tested.
In addition to these problems, the Taiwanese police have many other worries.
1. "War police" become "station police"
Since the Tsai Ing-wen authorities came to power, Taiwanese people's antipathy has not decreased, but has increased day by day.Lin Benhong, leader of the inspection team of the 1st Branch of the National Chiang Kai-Shek Branch, said, "Now we have to wait until the Chen Kang duty is completed before we can catch the bad guys. We have changed from 'war police' to 'station police'."
Chief of the Personnel Office of the Taipei City Police Department Cai Xiaowen also revealed that the 1st Branch of the CKS is responsible for the heaviest Chen Kang service in Taiwan, with an average of 63 Chen Kang services per month last year.
2. The front-line police force is insufficient, with a shortage of nearly 7,000 to 8,000
. Compared with the numerous and growing Chen Kang movement, the police have become a veritable "vulnerable group". According to police sources, Taiwan as a whole is facing a shortage of front-line police personnel, with an overall shortage of nearly 7,000 to 8,000 police officers.
Is it because the police are so short of manpower that their treatment is too low? actually not. In terms of income level, the salary of Taiwan police is quite attractive. Uncle Tiao specifically checked the information and found that a newly recruited police officer in Taipei can earn an average salary of nearly 70,000 yuan a month, including basic salary, overtime pay and various allowances. This income is almost twice that of ordinary graduates. .
The shortage of personnel is not due to lack of money, but to the fact that there are more Chen Kangs to deal with. At the same time, many senior police officers have chosen to retire early due to excessive pressure and the Tsai Ing-wen administration's reduction in pensions. A veteran police officer said, “Originally (the authorities) promised to retire in their fifties, but now it may be in their sixties, and the pensions they receive after retirement will also be discounted. Many people simply take advantage of the reform before it starts. Retired early, the police force is really in decline now. "
3. The health condition is terrible, 90% of the people who died are between 40 and 50 years old.
How bad is the health condition of Taiwanese police? A former Taiwan Police Inspectorate Office official said: Due to the heavy workload of the Taiwanese police, an average of 19 people die in the line of duty a year. More than 90% of the people who die in the line of duty are between 40 and 50 years old. The average number of overtime hours per month exceeds 80 Hour.
4. No dignity
Compared with the threat to physical health, the mental pressure of Taiwan police has doubled, and relevant reports and discussions are common. In May last year, a post titled "Sorry, I'm just a policeman who can issue orders" went viral on the island. The policeman stated directly in the article, "Any child on the road can push the police and scold them. Any citizen can shout provocations when they are ticketed. They can report indiscriminately when they pick up the phone. The police have to file a report and self-exonerate themselves." This is also the real situation faced by many Taiwanese police officers. The scholar said frankly, "With the current social atmosphere in Taiwan, the police do not even have the most basic dignity to enforce the law, let alone respect and love.
