The construction industry is facing severe challenges: wage issues have become a common problem


Imagine that many units cannot even pay salaries, but there are so many bloated personnel who are still directing projects, and you cannot ignore them.

Let’s take a look at those units that cannot pay wages.

Perhaps the salary issue is not directly related to this phenomenon, but it reflects a management issue.

Source: Headline “Stupid Big Snail” Since 2021, large-scale real estate developers have erupted in crisis, causing construction units to face survival difficulties in various parts of China, including well-known state-owned enterprises and local private enterprises, such as a certain construction company in Nantong and a certain river group.

Especially when faced with the bankruptcy of state-owned enterprise developers, the consequences are even more serious.

The Evergrande crisis is beginning to emerge.

These people are usually assigned high job levels, so their salaries are also high.

This situation has led to an increasingly serious phenomenon of low-priced bidding, and the result of low-priced bidding is undoubtedly the result of project losses.

Those who cannot be laid off as referred to by the company as “personnel optimization” may be demoted, but due to their network of relationships, the company is unable to dismiss them, which leads to a plethora of personnel and the emergence of many positions that were not previously available, such as senior experts and senior experts.

Faced with the downturn in the construction industry, many people have not received wages for a long time

In this environment, construction units in major countries have carried out large-scale layoffs, and some inefficient branch companies have been integrated.

Recently, the incidents of mutual reporting between China Construction Third Engineering Bureau and China Construction Eighth Engineering Bureau have attracted widespread attention.

As far as I know, more and more state-owned construction units are unable to pay wages this year, let alone reimbursement, benefits, bonuses, etc.

There are many reasons for not being able to pay wages, the most fundamental of which is the lack of funds on the books, the lack of high-quality projects on hand, and problems in the funding chain, resulting in banks being unwilling to provide loans.

How many downstream enterprises have they caused a chain reaction, such as Evergrande and Greenland? Even worse, you don’t even have a place to tell the government that the regulatory funds provided by the government are insignificant and insignificant.

State owned construction enterprises have also resorted to this tactic in order to win the bid, indicating the intense competition in the current construction market.

Let’s take a look at those construction workers who cannot be paid.

For these construction units, following the traditional path is no longer viable.

Taking a certain bureau of China Construction Corporation as an example, this situation has been prevalent since 2020.

Some companies have established so-called “talent pools” where the people in the pool are mostly related to the company, and the company cannot dismiss these people.
