The longer I work, the more I see this phenomenon.
It's all too common in the job search process for a job to say there's a meal allowance, but not in the actual allowance. It's just that in most cases, if it's written in the job posting, then the company will count the allowance as part of your salary.
This means that job seekers think that since it's a subsidy, it's in addition to their salary. But in reality, the company will count all kinds of subsidies as part of your salary. When recruiting, it's singled out as a way to attract applicants.
To put it bluntly, it's just a ruse by the recruiter. The recruiter stole the concept, and by the time the candidate learned about it, he or she had already signed a contract and worked for a while. And people themselves have a kind of inertia, also do not like always to adapt to the new environment. So most job seekers end up having to dumb down, it is impossible to choose to resign because of this small problem. What's more, many job seekers will put the blame on themselves, thinking that part of the reason is that they didn't ask or understand clearly beforehand, so they end up acquiescing to the company's rules.
Plus after you enter the company, you may think, this salary system is not set for you alone, and so are the people around you, so you may end up thinking that there is nothing to be concerned about.
And the truth is, even if you do bring it up, it won't change anything. In the end, it's just a matter of getting you out of the company. And the company's leadership will also say that you are too low-eyed, only see so little subsidies and then hold on to them. The company's main goal is to make sure that you are able to get the most out of your time and money, and that you are able to get the most out of your time and money.
In fact, the job search process, the so-called word game and not only this one meal subsidy, bonuses, transportation subsidies, rental subsidies, attendance awards, etc., there may be sets and traps. If you really care about this, and your own strength, then you may want to declare and ask for clarification during the interview.
If you're having a hard time finding a job, then you should go in and work first. If the company's welfare system is not perfect, when you do not have the absolute strength, tell yourself that as long as the wages are paid on time, to be able to get the most basic labor income as the main goal. When there is a suitable opportunity, then seek better development.
