At that time, I was working in the Admiralty, and the salary was generally higher than that of private workers. It could also be said to be an iron rice bowl, and it was a job that most people dreamed of. It was not easy to get in, and you had to pass a practical exam. Since my cousin was the director of the electrical department, the exam was right under his nose. , I know the content of the exam in advance and can pass it successfully only if I am prepared.
This is a naval base, and warships must be maintained and repaired on a regular basis, which requires a large number of employees from all walks of life. I was hired as an electrical technician to work on the warship. There are more than ten people in our group, which are divided into teams of two, usually composed of Technicians are composed of technicians and semi-skilled workers, so I also have an assistant.
Technicians are divided into three levels, and I am the lowest level when I first come here. The second level generally has more than ten years of work experience, and the first level needs to be able to work in addition to rich work experience. When it comes to senior positions, there are only about one or two people in a team. The work is assigned by the foreman, who also has a foreigner as the supervisor, who writes reports on the team members' annual work performance.
In the early days, the work on the ship was not smooth, just like the country people who came to the city were stunned to see it!
The work must be learned from scratch step by step, and the assigned work must be completed. One time, I really couldn't start and was scolded by the foreman. Collecting twelve accounts (a type of gambling) is my assistant's side job. He comes and goes as he pleases, but he is not around as usual. He has worked here for more than ten years. As the saying goes: I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs walking. He has more knowledge than me and I often learn from him humbly. He is also a contributor to the successful completion of the work.
I am diligent and studious and work hard, no matter how big or small the project is. We all try our best. It is normal for one person to do the work of two people and it is completed early. It is not that my working ability is better than others, but that their (workmates) shortcomings highlight my existence (most of the workers in the military port are lazy and good at gambling,
Gambling can be said to be ubiquitous, and small gambling is the third thing: betting on long, short, odd, and even numbers to determine the outcome anytime and anywhere. Big gambling is done in public restrooms outside, which are often overcrowded, especially on paydays. When the foreign boss comes to arrest someone, a whistle is given. Chickens and dogs jumped up and people became scattered. I was dumbfounded at first, but later I realized that it is normal for cats to catch mice).
I have to mention the foreign supervisor here. I was scolded by him even after I finished the work assigned to me. The reason was why I didn't report to the police. The foreman takes a new job (not to mention that no one does this, I not only don’t know where the foreman is, but sometimes I don’t know where he is, especially on an aircraft carrier). Later, the assistant suggested to leave the last bit until he comes to complete it. It doesn't work. Being scolded for being inefficient at work. If you get scolded for being lazy when you get off the ship's restroom, you will be scolded every day for different reasons.
Fortunately, other team members are not included. I walk on thin ice every day with fear! It's not just the fear of being scolded. He was afraid that his family's jobs would not be guaranteed. At the beginning of the second year, his contract finally expired and he returned to the UK.
The new foreign supervisor is very easy-going, and he is impressed by my work efficiency. I am often assigned tasks with high technical content that should be completed by first-class personnel. Of course, I will not let go of such opportunities and try my best to be perfect.
Seek merit but seek no fault. My diligence and high efficiency finally paid off. One year later, he wanted to promote me to first class. However, due to my poor personal work report in the first year, I could only be promoted to second class. I was promoted to second class in the second year. I was satisfied with being in the second class.
But my good luck had not ended yet. I was successfully promoted to the first class in the third year, and I finally felt like I was on an equal footing with everyone! This is probably unprecedented. I wonder if there will be someone else in the future? You must know that colleagues who have worked for more than ten years are still in the second class. I have worked here for five years, and opportunities are always reserved for hard-working people. The recommendation letter shows that my rank, work ability and behavior are excellent . The perfect letter of recommendation helped me get the position of ITE instructor, and I started my new journey to the next level.
