Many people know that Foxconn has a type of cadres called "section chief". That’s right, it’s the “section chief”, not the “section chief” you think.
In terms of management, Taiwanese-funded enterprises generally follow Japanese enterprises. It is said that the book " Dry Method " which tells the experience of corporate management, and the "Wisdom Book" by the famous Japanese entrepreneur Inamori Kazuo , which is known as the "God of Business", are all corporate management secrets highly praised by Foxconn executives. The title of "Course Chief" was learned from Japanese-funded enterprises.
So, what kind of official is the chief of the section chief? At Foxconn, the department head can be very large, too big to manage thousands or even tens of thousands of people (such as in the workshop where tablet computers iPad and Apple mobile phone iPhone ); it can also be very small, too small to manage just a few people. In other words, how much power the Foxconn director can have depends on what department he is in.
If you are the head of the production department, you will have at least one hundred workers (such as stamping workshops, paint workshops, machine-adding workshops, etc.), and most of them will have thousands (such as assembly workshops); if you are in a surrounding department (a department that is not directly engaged in production and manufacturing), you may have only a few subordinates, and at most thirty or forty.
Many people who have worked in factories run by their bosses in Taiwan know that Taiwanese enterprises are of strict rank. In Taiwanese-funded factories, the human resources department divides employees into different levels according to their salary and positions, and correspondingly, salary and benefits are also divided into different levels. This is particularly obvious in Foxconn.
In Foxconn's current human resources system, from first, second, third to twenty divisions, the positions are divided into twenty-three levels; from line leader to president, the management positions are divided into nineteen levels, namely: line leader, group leader, section leader, specialist, senior specialist, deputy manager, senior deputy manager, manager, senior manager, director, senior director, assistant manager, senior assistant, deputy general manager, senior deputy general manager, executive general manager, general manager, vice president, and president. There is a certain correspondence between the position and the management position (there is no fixed position for the position of the position of the vice president or above), but due to the space limitations, this article will not discuss the position of Foxconn.
looks like this, and the class leader doesn't seem that great either. Isn’t it just a little bit longer than the line and the group leader! If you think this way, it means you don’t understand Foxconn’s corporate culture, especially management culture. In order to facilitate everyone's understanding, I would like to tell you about my experience of joining Foxconn.
2002, it is not good for me to see the year. That summer, I quit my job from a Taiwanese-funded product factory in Shiyan, Shenzhen and shared a farmer's house with a fellow villager in Queshan, Longhua. Queshan is not far from Longhua Sanhe Job Regiment Office - at that time, the three jobs did not move to the Pearl of the South, and were still opposite the First Primary School of Longhua - the rent was relatively not expensive, which is more suitable for a poor loser like me who is looking for a job.
The so-called "people go to high places, and water flows to low places." Because I used to do a job in grassroots management, I wanted to find another job like this. After making ambitions, I used Queshan as the base and looked for workers in Shenzhen Longhua, Guanlan, Shajing , Xili and Fenggang, Dongguan for several months, but all returned home in a defeat. During this period, I worked in two small factories in Guanlan Niuhu and Fenggang Paradise, but either because the factory environment was too poor or because the salary was too low, I retreated to Queshan before working for a month. Those wandering days were almost the darkest time in my life.
In the autumn of that year, I had very little savings left and I could not even pay the rent for the shared rental house, so I decided to lower it: no matter what job, as long as the salary is still acceptable, I would do it, even if I was to make screws on the assembly line, or as a handyman who could be called in the workshop that everyone could drink. It's really a way out. Shortly after making this decision, I found at the Sanhe Job Institution in Longhua that Foxconn was recruiting general workers for the first time. In the past, Foxconn recruited technical workers and management positions, and my skills and education did not meet the requirements, so I didn't dare to apply for a job.
At that time, Foxconn had a very good reputation, and the general workers recruited were basically graduates from mainland technical secondary school or technical school . If you want to work as a general worker in Foxconn via informal channels, you will have to spend about 1,000 yuan on the introduction fee - the premise is that you can still find relationships in Foxconn's human resources department or security department, otherwise it will be useless even if you have money. If I am destined to be a general worker, then joining Foxconn is undoubtedly the best choice.
I am still impressed by the process of applying for the job: I only recruited ten ordinary workers, but there were a large number of job seekers in front of Foxconn’s recruitment booths, with at least one hundred people. In the end, with my height and physical strength, I squeezed into the top of the circle, submitted my job search information form, and successfully passed the initial examination for recruiting officials. Afterwards, the recruiter took me and nine other job seekers away from Sanhe. After walking for dozens of minutes, he entered the Longhua Foxconn Park from Xixiamen - that was my first close contact with Foxconn. When I stepped on Foxconn's territory with both feet, my excitement was beyond words.
We followed the recruitment officer and walked into the first floor building and crossed the first floor workshop. There were rows of huge machines standing in the factory, their motors roaring and making deafening loud noises - I had never seen such a huge creature before, shocked by such a scene. Later I learned that this is the stamping production workshop of Foxconn's CNSBG business group. These "big maxes" are punch that produces large accessories for program-controlled telephone switch .
Recruitment officer took us to a conference room on the third floor, and he went to call out another person. It seems that the man is his boss. Later, this person first looked at each of us one by one. The situation reminded me of the scene where buyers compare and watch the teeth of animals at the mule and horse market in my hometown. Then, he asked us to do thirty sit-ups and twenty push-ups each, saying that we were going to examine our physical fitness.
This makes me a little confused: I am not going to work as a coolie when I go to Foxconn, why are I doing this so hard? I didn't want to think too much, the man said: Do push-ups first. Listen to my command, when I shout numbers, you do your movements; when you shout stop, you stop, and all those who are physically obsessed with the ground will be eliminated. Start now, one! We all lay down and supported each other, and were about to make a second one, the guy shouted: Stop! So we could only stand on the ground. After a few dozen seconds, he said: Two! To achieve the third one, we just bent down and the man repeated the same trick and shouted: Stop! We had to maintain a posture of supporting our elbows and our bodies parallel to the ground. This feeling was even more uncomfortable than when our bodies were standing in mid-air just now. It took a few dozen seconds before he could make a reply.
To do this seventh, my arms are already sore, painful, and numb, and I feel that I can't hold on in the next second, like a dangerous building after an earthquake, which is about to collapse. I cheered myself up again and again in my heart: Hold on, hold on! I finally got this opportunity and I must persevere, otherwise I will never be able to enter Foxconn again... With the "stops" of that person, time has become particularly long. Everyone made heavy breathing sounds, like the buffalo after pulling a cart in their hometown. From the corner of my eyes, I saw that the job seekers doing push-ups on both sides were like me, and the sweat on their foreheads dripped onto the floor in front of me, forming a pool of water. At this time, everyone seemed to be withstood the biggest test in life.
I was so tired that I lost my ability to think, I just wanted to end this damn push-ups soon and leave this dog day conference room soon. When I made the tenth one, I heard a "bang" and someone fell down. The man was unmoved and continued to torture us. The eleventh one, the twelfth one... I have heard four "bangs". After finishing the fifteenth push-up, just as my physical strength and endurance reached the limit and were about to run out, I finally heard the guy say: Stop, end! After a burst of "bang bang", we all collapsed on the floor. I hugged my head with both arms and my face against the floor. Tears flowed out in a daze, and wet a large area of the floor...
Four people were eliminated in that interview - the four people who fell first were eliminated.Fortunately, the cruel and ruthless interviewer did not let us do the remaining five push-ups, nor did we do sit-ups - in that way, no one could achieve the goal. Six people who insisted on doing fifteen push-ups were finally admitted, of course, I was one of them. Before this, I never expected that I would have such strong perseverance; after this, I never seemed to have encountered such a thrilling test again.
About a week, I officially joined the NWE product department of the Foxconn CNSBG business group and worked as a logistics officer in the assembly plant. The so-called logistics officer is a handyman who uses a handyman to use a hand-pressing tow truck to transport materials in the workshop. This is a physical job, and I only then did I know why we had to arrange such a devil interview when we were recruiting us.
assembly factory is divided into day shifts, with about 400 people in each shift. Our group of newcomers are all arranged on the day shift. The line leader said that we will transfer to night shifts after we have almost adapted. The assembly plant has eight assembly lines, each with more than 40 people, divided into two groups, each with four lines. The highest leader of each assembly line is the line length, with a group leader above the line length, and each line length has two assistants, and they are called the foreman.
team leader wanders around the workshop every day, and the line leader basically doesn’t have to do anything. He just arranges production, dispatches manpower, handles abnormalities, and makes production reports, and then hands over the production situation of the shift with the line leader of the right shift. The foreman is my direct leader. Before opening the line every day, he will give me a production schedule and a material plan, telling me where to go to pull the materials and which station to send the materials to.
I am a person who doesn’t know how to save my strength. I run around the workshop every day with a tow truck. Wherever materials are needed, I will drive my "local BMW" in time. If pulling a tow truck can also be considered driving experience, then I am now an old driver.
That day, someone came to the workshop. He is in his thirties, with a fat body and a slightly bulging belly. He has a Andy Lau -style seven-part head, a kind face and a smile on his face. Let's go here and take a look there. More often, he would walk to the beautiful female workers, talk to them, point out the inappropriate operation methods, and give them step by step guidance and demonstration. The girls would laugh from time to time, and some girls would pinch his arms like coquettishly - they seemed not afraid of him.
But the foreman, line leader and team leader acted very timid, as if they were afraid of him, and they were respectful in front of him, walking faster than usual, and speaking louder, as if they wanted to perform well in front of him. Needless to say, this must be a high-ranking official, but I have only been here for more than ten days and I don’t know his origin.
As usual, I pulled the tow truck and walked by the high-ranking official. He turned around at this time and saw me rushing towards me, as if he was afraid that I would hit him, so he subconsciously jumped to the side. I smiled disapprovingly - I used to pull a tow truck that had been pulled in the Dasheng Lighting Factory in Yantian, Dongguan for several months, and had already reached the state of "man-car unity". In addition, I had been practicing here for more than ten days, so naturally I would not let the car hit someone.
I sent the materials of a cardboard to the work station I needed. When I turned around, I saw the high-ranking official saying something to the team leader in anger, and looked at me from time to time. Only then did I realize that I might be in trouble. Sure enough, after the high-ranking official left, the team leader came to find me.
"That person pulling the tow truck, come here." said the team leader.
I pulled the car and walked to the team leader. The line leader was behind me and shouted, "What are you doing to pull the car over? Just go over."
has been in the job for more than ten days. Apart from the morning meeting, the line leader rarely talks to me, let alone the team leader. Unexpectedly, the appearance of this high-ranking official made the line leader and team leader pay unprecedented attention to me, although this may not be a good thing. My heart was upset.
"Do you know who he is?" The team leader nodded in the direction of the high officer leaving.
"Report to the team leader, I don't know."
"Fuck, even the head of the department doesn't know, how did you do it? You have to have more eyes to pull the cart and pay attention to safety.If you bump into the head of the department today, you don’t want to do it here! "What class director? No one has ever mentioned the class director to me. I don't know the class director. Could it be my fault? How could the tow truck hit the class director? It's still far from him! These thoughts are rushing in my mind, but I know I can't say anything at this moment. The leader of the
cursed fiercely. I lowered my head and listened with blushing. Thinking that I had tried to overcome the five levels and kill six generals, I finally ended up slapping it. I went to Foxconn after the Devil's interview. I was still in the probation period. If I acted impulsively and contradicted the team leader, I would definitely not have any good results. I really don't want to live the day when I go to Sanhe and find jobs everywhere every day. My tears were rolling in my eyes, and I finally forced them back. After scolding
, the team leader seemed to be a little sad and added: "If I remember correctly, are you new here, right? From the moment, you're doing very well. But you must pay attention to safety, and you must not happen again next time. OK, go and do it. "
I walked back dejectedly and pulled up the tow truck. The foreman saw the process of being scolded just now. He walked towards me and comforted me and said, "The chief has left, it's okay, don't take it to heart. "I asked him unwillingly: "I pull the cart like this every day, and nothing happened before. What kind of official is the head of the section chief? As for the courageousness? "The foreman of
covered his mouth and laughed. He looked in the direction where the high official left, took his hand off his mouth, and said softly: "The chief of the department is the largest leader of our assembly factory, and the fifth teacher is the immediate boss of the team leader! He is in charge of all the eight or nine hundred people in the assembly plant’s night shift! Whether our salary will increase or how much it will increase, whether we can take the position promotion exam, how much the year-end bonus will be given, and whether you will be allowed to take leave will be decided by him. If you don’t like you, he can open you and rub me at any time; if you like you, he can also promote you to be the foreman, line leader, and team leader at any time. Let me put it this way, the section chief is the local emperor of our assembly factory. In ancient times, he was the seventh-rank county magistrate and parents in our assembly factory! Do you understand? The head of the department only goes to the day shift. When we transfer to the night shift in the future, he still can't see it if you want to see it! "
is right, I forgot to explain that in the year I joined the company, Foxconn also had the position of "not-respecting" - when I was filling out the form, I didn't know what the three words "not-respecting" mean. Not-respecting is Foxconn's lowest position. All newly-employed general workers have the position of not-respecting; further up, they are the first, second, and third. Qualifications of one or more members are collectively called "respecting".
Not-respecting cannot be promoted to the position of the product, but must be strictly followed. (Enterprise employees are promoted, and they also need to be tested). Moreover, only employees who do not perform well in daily life can obtain the annual promotion examination qualification. Many employees who have worked at Foxconn for several years still do not recognize their qualifications when they leave their positions - in that era, most of Foxconn employees were not certified, and even not many staff-level cadres.
employees all swiped their labels in restaurants and had their cards swiped. After swiping cards, the cardholder's qualification information will be displayed on card swiping machine . Whenever I see The words "人人人人人" appeared on the card swiper, and the words "人人人" would be envious to the card swiper, let alone the teacher-level cadres. In 2010, Foxconn finally abolished the "人人" position, and the new employee's qualification must be member one. I am not aware of the teacher's qualification, and the division chief is teacher four, with seven or eight levels different from the middle. Not to mention the distance from southwest China to northeast , at least it is also separated from Beijing to Shanghai.
ht The interlude of ml3
made me remember the word "class director", the power and majesty of the class director, and the appearance of his kind conversation and interaction with beautiful girls online. I made up my mind to make some contributions here, at least to chat and laugh with beautiful girls in the workshop like the class director; those girls should not regard me as the class director, but to treat me as a coworker around them. They can pinch and scratch me and help me establish a person-friendly image.
With this belief, I worked diligently, worked diligently and endured humiliation at Foxconn. In the second year, I successfully got rid of the hat of not being acclaimed and passed the first place. Soon, the online foreman who was good to me resigned and I endured his lack; in the third year, I became the line leader again; in the eighth year, I was promoted to group leader. In the ninth year, I was transferred to the Qunchuang Optoelectronics Business Group Stamping Factory and continued to serve as the team leader. In 2017, I was promoted to the fifth grade and was promoted to the head of the department in the same year. In this way, after fifteen years of hard work at Foxconn, I finally went from being a sect to a section chief - every time I went back to my hometown, I felt like I was returning home in glory. Although the wish to be promoted to the office has come true, my dream of intimate interaction with beautiful girls cannot be realized - as we all know, Foxconn's stamping factory is a monk temple, and there are basically no female workers; even if there are one or two occasionally, they are all at the level of aunts, and as for beauty, there is no way to talk about it. Beautiful girl, every department is rushing to ask for it, so where can I go to the stamping factory?
But fortunately, when I was the team leader in the NWE assembly factory, I had already gotten into a relationship with a beautiful female worker in another group and got married two years later. So, there are basically no regrets in this regard. As for the section chief, as the foreman said, he did not cause trouble for me later; two years later, he was transferred to the engineering department to manage a group of engineers. I heard that those engineers were all big men, and that guy didn’t have a pretty female colleague to communicate and care about. However, he would occasionally go to our workshop to talk to the beautiful girls, but I could see that the beautiful girls obviously didn't care as much about him as before.
I think I am lucky to be able to work as a section chief at Foxconn. Many people who have worked at Foxconn for more than ten years are still line leaders and team leaders, and some are still ordinary workers; some newcomers who have worked for Foxconn have been unhappy after working for half a month or a month, so they run away with their buckets. On the day they resign, they still don’t know what their course looks like...
Of course, there are many people in Foxconn who can get better and climb faster than me. However, everyone’s situation is different. People are so angry that they are so angry that I don’t compare with them. Only by being content can you be happy. To sum up: Being able to endure hardships, be brainy, be responsible, and be ambitious. With these points, it is difficult for you not to make a name for yourself at Foxconn.
Dear readers, what else do you want to know about Foxconn? Do you think it’s not worth it to spend fifteen years to become a director at Foxconn? If you start a business yourself, you may have been successful in your career; if you switch to another company, you may have been an executive of the company... Welcome to leave a message at the end of the article and express your opinions.
