Why are some people's pensions higher than those of front-line employees after retirement?

Some senior managers, senior professional and technical personnel in some enterprises have good salaries when they are working, and thus the base for paying pension insurance is also high, so that even after retirement, the pension is much lower than the salary when working, it may be higher than the salary of some front-line grass-roots employees in the workplace.

Our current wage distribution system is still mainly based on labor distribution, and has not yet entered the era of distribution according to need, so the existence of some employees after retirement pension than the first-line employees in the working wage is still higher, which is very reasonable, and is also allowed by society.

An example. Cousin uncle used to be the boss of an enterprise, the annual salary of 300,000 yuan in the job, the payment of pension insurance with a very high base, and its retirement at the age of 60, with 36 years of service. His pension after retirement was less than half of his salary when he was in service, but it was still more than $8,000 a month. As for the grass-roots front-line employees of that enterprise of theirs, their on-the-job wage packages are basically $3,000 to $4,000, and the pension of their cousin's uncle is considerably higher than their on-the-job wages. This may seem unfair on the surface, but it's not, and that's what motivates everyone to work hard.

People may only notice his high pension, but not his previous efforts. Cousin's uncle studied hard, went to graduate school, and joined the workforce at the age of 24. He also started as a technician at the grassroots level, became a technical backbone, and was later promoted to a senior executive, and step by step, sat in the general manager's position, and his salary and benefits were gradually increased. And most of the front-line employees do not have a high level of education, only to do some simple and repetitive work, may be full of 18 years old to participate in the work, than the cousin also participated in the work of a few years earlier, more than a few years of wages, pay a lot of costs to be lower, and ultimately take the low wages is also very normal.

In summary, the phenomenon that some employees' post-retirement wages are higher than the on-the-job wages of front-line employees is very reasonable. The current wage distribution system is in accordance with the more work more pay, only through efforts to make the on-the-job wages become higher, with a high base to pay pension insurance, so as to ensure that the pension benefits are also high.
