1996年春,曲月蓉下岗了。这是在意料之外,又在情理之中的事情。那年,是青岛被国家确定为优化资本结构试点城市的第三个年头,在全市企业富余职工占20%左右的形势下,结构调整必然出现大量的下岗职工。到1996年末,青岛累计下岗职工达到近8万人,虽分流安置了4万多人。但仍有3万多人未能再就业。曲月蓉所在的青岛塑料八厂,已由原来的700多人精减到400多人,医务室从原来的5人。已精减到2人,没想到还要减。那时下岗职工的心理承受能力还很脆弱。失落、羞涩、彷徨,她都有过,但想想自己是一名共产党员,又经历过十几年的下乡锻炼,什么样的苦都能吃,只要有岗位,她都要去干,何况自己下岗后家庭生活更加拮据。 Spring 1996, Qu Yuerong laid off. This is unexpected, but also in the matter of reason. That year was the third year in which Qingdao was confirmed as the pilot city for optimizing capital structure by the state. Under the situation in which the surplus enterprises of enterprises in the city account for about 20%, a large number of laid-off workers will inevitably appear in structural adjustment. By the end of 1996, the total number of laid-off workers in Qingdao had reached nearly 80,000, although more than 40,000 were relocated. However, more than 30,000 people are still unemployed. Qu Yue, where the plastic factory in Qingdao eight, from more than 700 people reduced to more than 400 people, the clinic from the original five. Has been reduced to 2 people, did not expect also reduced. At that time, the psychological capacity of laid-off workers is still very weak. Lost, shy, lingering, she has had, but think of myself as a member of the Communist Party, has experienced more than 10 years of countryside to exercise, what kind of suffering can eat, as long as there is a post, she must go to work, Not to mention their family life after laid-off even more constraints.
