With the end of the Q1 quarter of 2020, the recruitment website released the "2020 First Quarter Talent Attraction Report", which involves a variety of talent and enterprise demand data.
data is a disassembly and explanation of the results. As the results are settled, many people are not interested in digging and studying the inspiration and thinking brought by the data.
Although many people will not study the data in depth, it does not mean that the data cannot interact with people. When people see that the average salary in the first quarter of 2020 is 8,609 yuan. The interaction between
and the data begins.
1.
Interaction and dissatisfaction with data
Every year, many institutions publish various reports on recruitment, talents, and flow. If we carefully integrate and analyze the data, we can basically grasp the dynamics and development trends of society.
But more people still pay attention to the content that data is closely related to themselves. There are many highlights in the reports of relevant institutions every year, but the content that is always the most likely to cause interaction is the content of average salary.
"2020 First Quarter Talent Attraction Report" collected and compiled information on recruitment websites and concluded that the national average recruitment salary of 8,609 yuan
Before the impact of the epidemic has completely ended, this salary will undoubtedly cause controversy. After all, together with this data, the demand for new talents in the market in the first quarter decreased by 24.4% year-on-year.
At the same time, according to the "2019 Summer Talent Supply Report", the average salary in Q1 in 2019 was 8050. On the one hand, it was the tightening of recruitment demand and on the other hand, it was the rising average salary. This seems to be a problem with the data.
Whenever the average salary is released, many people will blame data errors, but I think the data is not wrong. The reason for this data is that the tightening of recruitment demand is often a way for small and medium-sized enterprises to fight risks. Large enterprises need to provide more salaries and continue to introduce talents due to the diversification of their industries and their ability to resist risks, but large enterprises need to provide more salaries and continue to introduce talents to ensure they are in the leading position in the industry.
We have indeed seen that enterprises of different sizes have obviously different attractiveness indexes to talents, and the attraction to talents obviously requires more competitive salary.
Therefore, there is no error in the data, but why do many people fail to accept it, accuse and dissatisfied every time the data is released?
2.
"question" of data
There was no problem with this data, but it does not mean that all data have been correct for a long time. Obviously, different conclusions can be generated for different combinations and interpretation angles of the same original data.
It is undeniable that when I read some survey reports in the past, I did feel that the data was ambiguity due to tending combinations.
"Preset results, find key data support; data combinations driven by interests; survey subjects with faults"
These will cause data inaccuracy. For example, we often tease an example: when making product improvements, we hope to cover more people, ask loyal customers for many years of view on the product.
However, I think people's interaction with average salary is often not due to "distrust" in data accuracy, but as stated in " Get Out of Anxiety Storm ".
Some people incite all kinds of criticism or accusations from the outside world, and some of their subconscious motivations are just to release their own life pressure and mental pressure.
01 The sense of failure brought by average salary
From ancient times to the present, money, as the carrier for the normal operation of social value exchange, has always been an important marker of value judgment.
I think this is not a wrong behavior. After all, as a successful vassal, money is due to its advantage of being able to calculate in quantity, so that we can clearly help define whether a person is successful. Therefore, even in the ancient teachings collection "Zengguang Xianwen", it also mentions the reason why a gentleman loves money and takes it well.
But although ancient sages also believed that successful vassals had money, they would not singlely measure success by money.
Just like "taken with truth", ancient sages often measured whether a person was successful through a diversified perspective, combining virtue and influence and other dimensions.
But nowadays, we often see the singleization of the measurement of success. If success is a test paper, then money is the score on the test paper.
Imagine what we are most worried about when we are studying? I don't think it's a bad grade, but a score that is far below average, which often makes us feel "failed".
psychologist David Myers believes that the external influences exerted by parents, friends, education, customs and other aspects in society have made us form our own characteristics, thus becoming our second nature.
This second nature will profoundly affect the explanation and response of the things we face in the future. Just as the score below average will cause us to fall into a "failure" mood, when we measure success from a single-point perspective, then lower than average salary is obviously the opposite of success.
Therefore, the accusations we make in our interaction with the data are actually derived from our dissatisfaction with the imposed "sense of failure".
02 This is actually the desire for success
When we face our own failure to reach the average salary, we joked and said, "I'm sorry for dragging my back." Many people will think this is a kind of complaint.
But I don’t think so. Instead, I think people who complain about "sorry to drag down". Those who accuse data of problems may be the ones who most hope to succeed.
is actually not difficult to understand. If we completely sink and fall, we don’t need to consider how to get more money. We can sit in the last row of teachers, without caring about the test papers or the results.
When the average salary is announced, those who accuse and dissatisfied have been working hard to climb but find that there is still a distance. We human individuals will not have emotions about things that we indifferently care about. What can make us have strong emotions often represent our deep desires.
Some people say that it is an era of business, and some people say that it is an era of money, so we will want to embrace money, get money, and use money as a single measure.
But for me, it is not so much an era of business or an era of money, but rather an era of sufficient material life and brings us confidence.
From ancient times to the present, everyone has longed for success, but perhaps only now, we believe that we will succeed.
3,
desire and value
Why do we desire success and hope to get enough money? I think the reason is simple. When money can realize most of our dreams and resist most of our risks, success and money are no longer multiple-choice questions.
We exchange our labor for salary because our free will will give us the original motivation to pursue happiness, which makes us willing to endure the pain in the labor process in exchange for future happiness.
I don’t want to discuss whether this is a mistake in the value measurement system built by humans, or whether it is the shackles that the value measurement system puts on everyone.
Because individuals live in this world, they have to assume their own obligations in exchange for the power to survive in society.
So for those who are angry and disgruntled without meeting the average salary standard, I just hope they can achieve the success they want after all.
But when pursuing success under a single money measurement value system, I also hope that we can consider a key question: Is value really measured by money?
Niliters often believe that the essence of life is nothing and worthless. Those things that make us excited, admire, amazed and long for are meaningless from the perspective of a hundred or a thousand years.
But we have never lived in isolation. We have obtained the possibility of survival through social cooperation. The selfishness of genes may make us want to obtain enough benefits from the society that provides us as much as possible.
But that is not value, nor is it the real judgment of value by the measurement system. We come from the crowd, and perhaps only when we start to repay the crowd, is the moment we experience value.

Conclusion
The attention to salary is actually a manifestation of our confidence. Only when we deeply believe that we can "success" can we be full of desire for success.
But is the single money measurement system really the value we want to pursue? Perhaps we can only understand what Leo Tolstoy said is a sad thing to have no money, so we embark on a journey of pursuing money.
But we have never experienced what he called excessive money, which is even more sad. Perhaps what he wants to express is that when we have excessive money, we can only experience the "non-existent nature" of external things.
The wise man's motto may be a warning to our desperate journey to pursue money.
One accumulation and one scatter is called Tao, and it is not considered treasure is called virtue. The words are from the Tang Dynasty Zhang Shuo "Qian Bencao"
