Definition

铁饭碗

Literally means:

iron rice bowl

Actually means:

stable or secure job

饭碗, or an iron rice bowl, refers to one's job or career. The phrase metaphorically describes a very secure and stable job or position. It also refers to a personnel system that or in China, under which employe would never lose whether they worked hard or not, unless they make a serious blunder.

饭碗,指职业。比喻非常稳定的职业,或非常牢固的职位。也指一度在中国盛行的一种用人制度,即进入一个单位工作以后,即使不称职或不好好工作,也不会被辞退,除非犯了大错误。
