Chapter 675: The Opening of the Economic Crisis (1)
"Last night, I had an exchange with my colleagues in the company and talked about the most popular job 996 issue in the company at the moment. No company should not, nor can it force employees to 996, and the company has always advocated that they live seriously and work happily. But young people themselves need to understand that happiness comes from struggle. Not to defend 996, but to pay tribute to the strivers.
The group company also worked overtime in the early years, but what classes did we add? After we worked 8 hours a day, the most important evening was to review and study. What we did wrong today, what should be fixed, and how we should learn from each other. Two or three hours outside of our 8 hours are to learn and improve, not to work overtime.
Everyone thinks that they don't come to the company for high wages, not because they have stocks, not because they have a good working environment, not because of the year-end bonus, not because of these things. What I want to think about most is how we can turn you into a different person if you stay in the company for 10 years......"
A few years ago, an article was published in the internal directory of the group company, which explained in detail a phenomenon that employees of the group company had been discussing in private.
The article was not written by Zhao Hong, but from the boss's point of view, he felt that the article was good.
What does the development of a company depend on? It is not just a simple and rude extension of working hours that will create greater value, but the employees of the whole company can keep pace with the times to learn and improve, strive to improve work efficiency, and create better products and services.
But all employees are afraid that their leaders will work overtime for some reason, and they dare to leave on time, and they are not afraid to wear small shoes?
Everyone knows that it is difficult to find a job these days, and how many people dare to take the risk of testing the limits of what a leader can endure?
Rather than taking risks, it is better to follow the leader to work overtime! As for whether it is necessary or not, it is not a problem, and it is even less a question if there is anything to do. Anyone who has ever sat in an office knows that there is something to do at any time!
Isn't it commonly known as "nothing to do"?
"Well, whatever the boss says, it's all right! Who told us that we need people to pay their salaries?"
"yes! That seems to be true, but who has nothing to do after work?
There is no other half who needs to go to the object, otherwise who should blame the rest of the rest?
If you have a partner, but you are not married, you need to fall in love, otherwise you don't have money, no house, and no care and thoughtfulness, who will marry you?"
"It's the same when you get married and have children, children need to be accompanied, the work in the family needs to be done, and parents need to be accompanied when they are old, doesn't it take time?
It's easy to say, who has so much time to study besides school age?"
"So, this is standing and talking without backache! It sounds very right, but it's all some chicken soup for the soul, and it's not practical at all!"
"Huh...... , to be honest, it's always a little annoying!"
……
Listening to the surrounding employees in the company's restaurant talking in a low voice while eating, Zhao Hong was also a little helpless.
The world is like this, no matter what happens, there are always people who think that it is "I am for your good" approach.
Just like one of the most popular things parents in the world do, "It is for your own good to make you study hard!"
But how many parents have thought about why their children don't like to study?
Isn't it normal for a pair of parents who don't love learning to give birth to a child who doesn't like to learn?
Why should your child have to do what you can't do on your own?
Unless something happens when the child is born, the child is not like the parents in some way......
And now this question about 996 is to put it bluntly, why employees feel a little complaining.
That's because they aren't all potential people in the first place, and most of them may be ordinary people for the rest of their lives.
And they themselves never thought that they really had to keep pace with the times and strive to progress, let alone when they could create a "great" enterprise and become a great "entrepreneur".
One of them was thinking about doing their job, the income they should have, supporting their own family, living a life that is not too good and not too bad, and enjoying the life that an ordinary person should have, not too happy, not too sad and sad!
This is the reality of people, no one can ask everyone to study hard, be motivated, and even selflessly dedicated!
It's not that the ideals are bad, it's just that it's a little too far away from the lives of ordinary people.
Being able to live the life of an ordinary person happily every day is already very good in the eyes of many people, but as for the kind of high-minded requirements, it is impossible to ask everyone to do it, to put it nicely.
Even the boss of the company can't ask all employees to do it, otherwise wouldn't they all be the so-called "elite"?
"Lao Tian, what do you think of what they said?
Zhao Hong chatted with Lao Tian who was with him while eating, after all, he was still an ordinary employee, although he was also a supervisor, and even got a manager-level salary and benefits.
"Huh...... , I think whoever says it seems to have a certain truth. After all, who doesn't like their employees to pay more labor and create a lot of profits!
But there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the employees, after all, everyone doesn't live in a vacuum.
In addition to the need to work to earn money, employees are also an ordinary person after all, and they also need to find a partner, fall in love, and get married and have children in the future to take care of their own small family, how can they devote all their time to work or study?
Those who can do it must not be ordinary people, either careerists or great people.
How can ordinary people not have ordinary needs?
Hehe...... I can't do it at all, anyway. ”
Lao Tian looked like he was telling the truth, as if not being so was not enough to prove his honesty.
"Huh...... Of course I know that.
Not to mention you, in fact, how many of the tens of thousands of people in the entire group company can do it?
Those who can do a small part, at most for a year and a half, should be a small leader.
If you can do some, you should be at least at the manager level after a few years of work.
There are very few who can do most of it, at least at the level of branch leaders.
Even if I can't do it myself, no matter how important my work and career are, it's not as important as my health at the moment, can't I work?
If I'm an ordinary employee, how can I support my family without a job?
Whether you can achieve the 996 work and study mode needs to be arranged by each according to their own situation.
Goals can be had, but they must not be too high the standards of ordinary employees!"
Since there has been a topic, many ordinary employees in the company feel a little flustered, and from time to time there are many people who passively take the initiative to work overtime, aren't they afraid of being laid off?"
Lao Tian also nodded in agreement, although he didn't have this worry, but who wouldn't want the working environment to be more peaceful.
If everyone is afraid of not meeting the 996 work standard and being laid off, and the atmosphere is so tense every day, isn't he also very uncomfortable?
