Auto Manufacturing Jobs: High Barriers, Heavy Workloads, Low Pay

Some automotive manufacturers have imposed stringent physical requirements for frontline positions, mandating applicants to complete 100 push-ups, 200 jumping jacks, and a 10-minute plank during on-site interviews. In one recruitment event attended by over 300 candidates, only about one-fifth passed the physical fitness test. Frontline workers commonly face high-intensity labor and rotating day-night shifts, earning approximately 20 yuan per hour, with some positions not offering social insurance.
