Chapter 399: Overtime (First Shift)

When I woke up early in the morning and thought of the conversation with Zhang Chen two days ago, Andy Rubin still felt a little dizzy.

Can we really promote open source by relying on capital? Why does capital support open source? Everyone knows that open source cannot make profits for capital.

Anyway, it's the first time I've been to work at Matrix today, so it's better not to be late.

Andy Rubin slowly got dressed, picked up a slice of bread and went out.

Andy Rubin lives far away, it takes half an hour to drive to Mountain View, and by the time I arrived at Matrix, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

"What's going on? Is this company going out of business before I even go to work?" muttered Andy Rubin as he stood in front of the Matrix.

It was already nine o'clock, but the company didn't seem to have anyone coming to work, the glass door with access was closed, and the lights didn't look on, and it was dark and quiet.

Andy Rubin stood bored at the door of the company, although he knew it was useless, he still slapped the door with his hand, "Is anyone there?"

Unexpectedly, after a while, a young man with a scruffy beard appeared in the glass door with sleepy eyes.

"What's the matter?" asked the young man, yawning and rubbing his eyes.

Andy Rubin, though feeling strange, held up his briefcase and said, "I'm here to report, an employee of Artemis that was acquired. ”

The young man muttered a few words, but still opened the door from the inside and let Andy Rubin in.

As soon as Andy Rubin entered the office, he couldn't help but cover his nose, what kind of smell is this?

The young man stretched and turned on the light, and the whole office became bright.

Walking through the entrance of the front desk, Andy Rubin found that this office was so large, six or seven hundred square meters. It should be several offices opened, and several concrete load-bearing columns in the middle of the office are clearly visible, with a ceiling height of seven meters, and the entire office area gives Andy Rubin a feeling of entering the factory floor.

But looking at the dozen or so desks and the office equipment on the desks, Andy Rubin is convinced that this is an office.

"Huh~Huh~" Andy Rubin suddenly heard a snoring sound reach his ears, and following the source of the sound, Andy Rubin found that there was actually a sleeping bag under the desk next to him, and a young man in his early twenties was sleeping in the sleeping bag.

The young man who let him in scratched his messy hair, "Monica should go to file her taxes, you just wait, maybe she'll be back in a while." ”

Andy Rubin knew that Monica was the HR who contacted him, and when he answered, he saw that the young man yawned and lay on an air bed between the two desks, intending to continue sleeping.

MD, air bed!?

Andy Rubin couldn't help it, "I'm sorry, my name is Andy Rubin, I haven't figured it out yet, what's going on?"

The young man's eyes opened, and he suddenly came to his senses, and jumped up from the mattress: "Andy Rubin? You are Andy Rubin who made the Magic Cap?"

Andy Rubin didn't expect that there would still be people who remembered the intelligent system he made a few years ago, and nodded: "I did it, but what the hell is going on?"

The youth was a little excited: "The Magic Cap is amazing. Then he showed a look of pity, "It's a pity that most people don't know the goods and can't realize the value of this product, and it is definitely a big mistake for Apple to give up the Magic Cap." ”

When the young man saw Andy Rubin's demeanor, he reacted and scratched his head embarrassedly: "My name is Hamilton, Hamilton Ross, sorry, our group is too tired these days, I haven't gone home to sleep for three days in order to catch up with the schedule, and yesterday it was four o'clock in the morning, a few people went home, and I and a few other colleagues lived far away, so I simply lived in the company." ”

Andy Rubin frowned: "Haven't been home for three days?"

No wonder the taste is so strong!

Andy Robin shook his head in his heart, he didn't expect that Zack to be a black-hearted capitalist who oppressed his employees so much.

What age are they now, don't these people know that there is a union, and don't they know that they can go to the labor committee to complain?

At this moment, the curfew at the door beeped, and a tall Latino beauty with a healthy California complexion and curly brown hair walked in.

Rose said hello, "Hey, Monica, who's coming?" Andy Rubin! Haha, this is my idol. ”

Monica had already seen Andy Rubin, "Andy, hello, I'm Monica, we're on the phone, you wait a minute, I'll take care of something else first." ”

Andy Rubin was scratching his head when he saw Monica take a glass of water and pour it on the face of the young man who was sleeping in his sleeping bag.

"Ah!!!!" exclaimed the young man, "Monica, what are you doing?"

Monica said angrily, "Rose, Cecil, did you live in the company again yesterday?"

Cecil wiped a handful of water from his face and complained, "We worked until four in the morning, and of course we had to live in the company. ”

Monica sneered, "Work until four o'clock, well, according to the rules, you are suspended, and you will come back to work in two days, and there will be no pay in between." ”

Rose hurriedly said: "Monica, the progress of our group is at a critical stage, I promise, I promise that we will definitely be at eight o'clock today... Uh, no, ten o'clock, go home by ten o'clock. ”

Monica said angrily, "Don't you want to die? What if you work overtime for so long and die of overwork? Do you want Matrix to become synonymous with Silicon Valley's black factory?"

Rose said with a sad face: "I promise, I will definitely leave work on time today." Don't suspend it so badly, okay? Monica, who is beautiful and kind, will definitely help us with this, right?"

Monica flatly refused: "This is the rule set by Zack, you go and talk to Zack, from me, it's just two words, NO AY!"

Monica walked over to Ross and Cecil's computer and pulled out two 3.5-inch floppy disks from the computer.

"Don't!" Rose cried out.

Monica ignored the two young men, turned to Andy Rubin and said, "Andy, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, I'll go through the entry procedures for you now." ”

Andy Rubin was puzzled: "What's going on?"

Monica said nonchalantly, "I took away their system authorization floppy disk, and they wouldn't be able to do their job without this." ”

Andy Rubin shook his head: "I'm not asking this, I mean what happened just now?"

Monica said angrily: "This is a bunch of tech maniacs!" As soon as the words came out, Monica felt that something was wrong, and said to Andy Rubin apologetically, "Sorry, Andy, I didn't mean you." ”

Andy Rubin suddenly felt a little funny, "It's okay, why are they working overtime overnight?"

Monica said helplessly: "Although they used to stay in the company late, it was normal, but since last week, what this group of people said has reached a critical stage, and they can't be compared to other groups, and they began to work overtime crazily, from overtime to eight o'clock, then to ten o'clock, twelve o'clock, and finally, they even began to live in the company." ”

"The first two days there were more people staying here, and the most, I came to the office in the morning, and the floor was full of mattresses and sleeping bags, and they didn't shower, and it stinks. Later, Zack decided that it would not work, and that if it continued like this, it would be too harmful to their bodies. Therefore, it is stipulated that before 8 o'clock in the evening, all employees must leave work, if it is delayed until 10 o'clock, then the next day it will be two hours late, if it exceeds 10 o'clock, it will be suspended for two days, of course, this is a punishment, and there is no pay during the suspension period. ”
