Twenty-four years old, Wu Guangliang took the civil service examination after graduating from university and became an ordinary civil servant in a government department.

Originally, he studied surveying and mapping at university, but he was eventually assigned to an ordinary clerk, and the knowledge he learned was almost completely unrelated to his daily work.

As a result of the nationwide anti-corruption and work style rectification campaign, the life of grassroots civil servants is no longer as good as before, they sign in on time for commuting to and from work, they are stricter in asking for leave, and monitoring heads have been installed in the window departments.

In the words of Wu Guangliang, people who work in the government department now are not even as good as going to jail, you see:

Most of the time in prison is spent in a cell of five or six square meters, and the office of ordinary grassroots civil servants most of the time is only more than ten square meters, but an office is usually shared by several people, so the per capita area is not as large as the prison cell;

The three meals a day in prison are all free, and the meal time is very regular, so you don't have to worry about how much the price of meat and vegetables has risen today.

Although you can go out to eat during the break, overtime is a common thing, and your life is irregular, and you have to be responsible for your own expenses.

Looking at the rising prices and the gradually drying up wallet, the hard life is worse than going to prison;

If you perform well in prison, you can rest, but if you go to work, you can only perform well if you work hard and are on call;

Those who are in prison can watch TV or play games, but once the news of watching TV and playing games during work hours is spread online, the person concerned faces the risk of being fired;

At least two comprehensive physical examinations should be conducted in a year in prison, but those who go to work can enjoy a basic physical examination at most;

When a person in prison is sick, the guards will send a special car to take him to the hospital for treatment, without queuing or spending a penny on medical bills.

But when you are sick at work, you may have one or two people to accompany you to the hospital if you have a good relationship with your colleagues, and you can only go to the hospital by yourself to queue up if you don't know a few people when you first arrive, and you have to pay all the expenses yourself;

……

If he is given more time and another bottle of wine, Wu Guangliang can cite more examples to prove that the life of today's office workers is not as good as that of a person in prison.

As soon as they join the work, leaders will say that young people should learn more, do more, and ask their seniors for advice.

There is nothing wrong with these truths in traditional industries, but service windows like Wu Guangliang, almost all daily work can be completed on the computer, and there are always some ironic feelings to ask those "seniors" who don't even know how to type smoothly, what Word is, and what spreadsheets are, learn how to operate a computer, how to make reports and summarize report data with a calculator.

The old comrade on the other side of the desk is called Huang Yushan, and when the people go to his window to do business, they flip through the information of the people casually, and then say where you go first to open a certificate and stamp a seal, and always do not finish the information that needs to be prepared at one time, and wait until others finally make up the information, and then say that there is still a thing missing, and let others run again.

Wu Guangliang couldn't understand his style of doing things, this Huang Yushan ran the people back and forth for an afternoon, and finally prepared all the materials, but it was time to get off work.

Huang Yushan went there again "carefully" read all the information again, and waited until the people in the office got off work for a while, and then slowly did it for others, and kept saying: The above requirements are high, and now everything is a lifelong responsibility system, and almost everything must be held accountable, and some things have not been written clearly in your certificate, and you were supposed to run again, and I saw that you ran all afternoon, so I took some risks to do it for you.

In this way, the people who came to do the errand saw that he had done the incident after work, and he had one less trip, and more importantly, he saved half a day's time.

Anyway, it was time for dinner, so under the "kind invitation" of others, it was normal to have dinner together, and it was normal to have some wine and sing some songs in the evening, and there was no public money to eat and drink.

After watching this routine many times, Wu Guangliang finally figured out the purpose of Huang Yushan's doing, it was really ginger or old and spicy.

The leaders often said to Wu Guangliang: "Look at Huang Yushan, although he is an old comrade, he is still conscientious, conscientious and careful in his work, and often works overtime to do things for the masses, and is well received by the masses. ”

Wu Guangliang couldn't say it on the surface, but he was secretly bitter in his heart: Nima, most of the work on the window was pushed to me to do, and I was so busy at work that I couldn't lift my head a few times.

This Huang Yushan not only behaves during working hours, but also supports the people around, eating and drinking, and has been praised by the leaders for his work, what kind of is this?

Doing practical things at work is not recognized, and after work, they have to buy their own vegetables and cook rice, this is the life that young people who have just been born in society and have just entered the civil service, with a conscience of "serving the people", and bury their heads in hard work.

This kind of work and life can see the future, because of stability, as long as you don't encounter any irresistible forces, you will get married and have children in this life, and after a long road of promotion, you will be mixed in the unit until you are old, retired, and waiting for death...... This is the most classic routine, no sorrow or joy, just to prove that you have been in this world.

This kind of work and life can't see the future, because it is too stable, life is less exciting, and I can't find the meaning of my existence in this world.

This kind of life is like a big cage, and the cage is full of people sentenced to life imprisonment, and the so-called freedom is only freedom in the physical sense.
