Yun Da express vice president Zhou Bai told reporters yesterday: "our company has just raised 300 yuan for each employee in September: first, it is too tired to do this job. From last September, about 700000 items per day rose to about 1500000 list in the same period this year. The volume of business increase has not been seen for so many years, resulting in a heavy workload increase. Therefore, two is the sudden increase in business volume, but there is a large shortage of talent, coupled with fierce competition in the industry and large mobility of personnel. Therefore, front-line staff and middle managers are hard to recruit, and people must pay a raise."
