Higher-level departments often seconded grass-roots cadres to work because of things, and grass-roots cadres want to realize job transfer through secondments, making secondments common in grass-roots work.

According to the investigation conducted by the reporter of Banyue Tan, most of the seconded staff are the backbone of the grassroots level, but they are often in a state of “hanging two ends” because of the establishment problem-if the transferred unit cannot solve the establishment for a while, they will not be able to stay and it will take a long time. Waiting; the transfer unit is occupied and the establishment is occupied, and no one can be admitted, and wages are paid to those who do not work.

  Secondments are widespread

  "I majored in radio and television journalism. After graduating in 2006, I joined the TV station in my hometown. At that time, I didn't have any organization and I was paid a salary." He Chang, a staff member of a state-owned enterprise in a northern province, told Banyuetan reporters that he worked for several years Later, he was seconded to the local disciplinary committee's propaganda classroom. At that time, he said he was helping them.

"At that time, I worked for a whole year without day or night. I was so tired that I was almost killed." He Chang left because he didn't want to stay there.

  After that, He Chang was seconded to the Propaganda Department of the local party committee again, and was successfully transferred to the local party committee's propaganda department.

  At the grassroots level, the staff have more or less experience of being seconded like He Chang.

Chen Dong, a cadre of a propaganda department in a central place, said that secondments are common in party committees and governments at all levels. Whether it is to carry out routine work or special work, various tasks need to be seconded, such as preparatory meetings, material writing, and activities. , Will be seconded from other departments.

  "Take our district as an example. There are two situations in which people are seconded every year: one is to do short-term secondment for phased work, such as creating a civilized city." Chen Dong said, "the other is to solve the problem of insufficient staff strength in the unit. Secondments. Due to aging staff and overcrowding, some units have insufficient manpower to manage the staff, but they do not have enough staff to recruit people. Therefore, they can only seconde personnel, and often they are not seconded in the end."

  Chen Dong said that in order to create a civilized city, the Civilization Office had seconded a few people, but after 3 months, they returned.

  The secondment phenomenon is caused by many reasons, and the main reason is improper arrangement of work tasks.

In particular, some new tasks and unexpected tasks have increased in recent years, causing temporary shortage of manpower.

It is understood that the comprehensive core departments of organization and discipline inspection are the departments with the most seconded personnel.

Some non-core departments are also due to the aging staff structure and the establishment is full, and they cannot recruit new people, so they have to seconde young people from below.

"When the grassroots section-level cadres reach 52 years old, if they can't get promoted, they are usually removed from the post of section chief, but they have not yet retired, and they occupy the establishment, resulting in a full establishment, no new recruits, and aging staff. "Said Lin Hui, a cadre in the southern region who once served as the head of the organization department.

  Most of the seconded is the backbone of the grassroots

  In the perception of grass-roots staff, those who can be seconded are either capable or backgrounded.

But for higher-level departments, what they need most is people who can work.

  "I have experienced secondments myself and other people. As secondees, they are usually people with better ability to work in the original unit. It is impossible for general units to second people who cannot work, so many of these seconded persons are from the original unit. The backbone of China." Chen Dong said.

  Seconded personnel are seconded to the new unit as a backbone force, and the new unit often puts many tasks on them.

Compared with the original unit, they often have a larger workload, and even some things that are not originally within the scope of their job will be pressured on them.

Because in the eyes of colleagues in the new unit, they are seconded, the greatest value is to work.

Over time, in this unit, the hardest and most tiring is the seconded personnel.

  At the same time, the personnel relationship and wages and benefits of the seconded personnel remain in the original unit; only when these seconded higher-level agencies have vacancies in the establishment, the seconded cadres with outstanding performance have the opportunity to "get regular."

  The grassroots cadres believe that the longer the secondment, the more difficult it is to guarantee the future.

For the phased work, they know that they will go back in two or three months; for those who are seconded for two to three years or even longer, the situation is more complicated and uncertainties increase.

  Jiang Qin used to be a township cadre in a certain place in central China. Because of his strong working ability, he was seconded to work in the district for three years.

The longer the time, the more she realized that she couldn't go back.

Her previous position has been "topped" by other people, and in the district, her organization cannot be resolved.

“I can only start from the very bottom when I go back. I was seconded because of my excellent job, but I didn’t expect it to end up as if I made a mistake. The original position and salary were gone.” She said.

  Later, Jiang Qin passed the exam and was admitted to another township.

"The seconded resume is helpful to improve my work ability, but it does not help me to participate in the public election examination. The additional points required by the recruitment test require honors at the municipal or provincial level or above. When the seconded The unit’s priority is to select its own personnel, and our seconded personnel have almost no chance to be considered advanced."

  At the same time, the original unit of the seconded personnel is also a "victim."

A director of a certain county in the south told Banyuetan reporters that the secondment is to pinch the tip and transfer the most capable ones. The entire department cannot support the work. Some important tasks are even cut off. He clearly ranked first in the city in the first half of the year. It was borrowed and fell straight to the end.

In the end, only “layers of damage” could be achieved. The bureau borrowed one person from the second-level unit, and the second-level unit seconded someone from the township.

  Be wary of secondments that are arbitrary

  At present, there are three ways of personnel exchanges in party committees and government departments: transfer, transfer, and temporary training, and there are more specific regulations on the rights, obligations, and procedures of all parties.

The interviewees believe that secondments are a more flexible way of employing people, but in reality secondments are more random.

  Interview with Banyuetan reporter found that the scope of seconded personnel at the grassroots level is not limited to the government agencies themselves. The first secretary in the village, school teachers, and staff of state-owned enterprises are all within the scope of secondment.

Zhang Chong, a staff member of the Propaganda Department of a northern province and a county party committee, introduced that in order to prepare for the establishment of the "First Secretary Exhibition Hall", 4 staff members were seconded to form a material organization team. Within 6 months, a total of more than 10,000 photos were organized and the exhibition area was 6000. More square meters.

"These four people are the first secretaries in the village, and they can understand that they are seconded to do this work. We are a piece of the organization, and we move where we need it." Zhang Chong said.

  The grassroots cadres told Banyuetan reporters that because the superiors borrowed from the subordinates, sometimes "only a word from the leader is needed."

A township chief in a southern county told Banyuetan reporters that the higher-level departments can't afford to offend and seconded departments are often departments that have the power to assess townships and townships.

  The grass-roots cadres also reported that secondments are arbitrary and have also caused some corruption of power for personal gain.

  In response to the problems of secondments, some places have proposed standardized measures, but it is still difficult to stop the secondment and continue to change.

A cadre from the Organization Department of a county party committee in the central region said that some departments do not follow the secondment procedure. The superiors call the heads of the subordinate units or verbally say that there is no problem if there is no formality for borrowing people to help.

Some departments changed their methods, set up temporary working groups and temporary offices around some work, and then transferred people in.

Since these temporary teams and temporary offices do not occupy the establishment, and do not change the original establishment, they are just names, so they are easy to operate, especially when the higher-level competent department in the system secondes to the lower-level unit, it is even easier.
