Zhou Sen asked, "What about the others?" Aren't there still a few people in the program team? ”

Brother Dahui shook his head: "This kind of complicated procedure can't be directly handed over to others to do, and they basically work overtime until more than ten o'clock in the evening, Xiao Liu is going to get married recently, and he has been preparing, Zhang Er's child has just been full moon, and it is the time to be busy." As for the two programs that Director Bai transferred from other projects, they can't do their work, and they can share a small part, but they can't be counted on. ”

The sister-in-law complained: "Look at it, look at it!" It's like this every time, it's not easy for others, but it's easy for you? My two children are more than three years old this year, and they have always been carried by two old people, you say that if you have a good one, what will we do with orphans and widows? ”

Brother Dahui patted her hand: "I'm sorry, don't worry, I'll resign and change jobs when I'm cured." ”

"You should have quit your job a long time ago!" The sister-in-law was very dissatisfied.

Zhou Sen frowned and said, "This situation can tell Guangyi to entertain each other, right?" Is this not a work-related injury? No matter how serious it is, it will die of overwork! ”

Brother Dahui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Hey, they are all part-time workers, how can I sue." A large company has a whole legal department, and when signing the contract, various terms have been studied countless times, not to mention anything else, the litigation process is so long that it cannot be delayed. Director Xie said that he would talk to Director Bai and Mr. Yu and ask them to compensate a sum of money, and I think this will be fine. ”

"Thank you, a good man." Zhong Ming said with emotion.

"Yes, if it weren't for Lao Xie, I wouldn't have been in this project for so long." Brother Dahui sighed, "So the choice of the two of you is right, leave this place early and open your own studio, even if you are tired, then you are tired for yourself." ”

……

Zhong Ming and Zhou Sen stayed with them in the ward for several hours, until four o'clock in the afternoon, and then went directly to the dining place to meet with Director Xie and them.

On the way back, the two of them felt more depressed, especially Zhou Sen, who was about to close himself.

"Hey, I can always see the news of all kinds of programmers dying of overwork on the Internet, and I feel quite far away from myself, but now I look at it like this, I panic." Zhou Sen sighed.

Zhong Ming said: "Don't worry, our studio doesn't work overtime...... In general. ”

"Of course I don't mean this, I mean that if I don't jump out and continue to work in a big company, maybe in a few years, I will become like Brother Dahui. Or, maybe if it were me, I guess I would have died the day after the project! ”

Zhou Sen looked very sad: "To be honest, every program should have considered this kind of problem, but what can be done, there is no solution!" The company has to catch up with the schedule, and the project is not manpowered, what can be done in addition to overtime? A company like Guangyi Mutual Entertainment that gives a certain amount of compensation and bonuses for overtime is already very good, and a large number of small companies work overtime is pure overtime, and they will not pay a dime of overtime pay! Anyway, Director Xie is still willing to go to Brother Dahui to compensate, if this is a small company, it is estimated that you will be fired on the same day, and there is no way to appeal! ”

"I've heard that the labor department has been pushing for the bill to reduce this excessive overtime." Zhong Ming seems to have seen similar news on the Internet before, but he doesn't know what to do.

Zhou Sen shook his head: "It's not that there is no progress, but the resistance is too great!" In particular, many people in the business community believe that this is raising the labor cost of enterprises and hindering economic development. And to put it bluntly, it is our social animals who are not united enough, and those who struggle and keep jumping back, which is already a serious involution and internal friction. Most people scold while not refusing the boss's overtime request, and they don't even care about themselves, how can they make the boss give up the interests in their hands? ”

Zhong Ming nodded, this is indeed the truth.

Zhou Sen said: "The most angry thing is that there are a large number of economists who give the company a platform, saying that the current salary level and overtime pay are the dynamic balance generated by the game between employees and the company. He also said that the company provides employees with job opportunities, and employees should be grateful, after all, you can't even eat without the company. ”

Zhong Ming: "......"

"So, there is no solution to the situation at the moment. The relationship between employees and bosses is no longer a business cooperation, but a class relationship, and those with resources can squeeze those without resources at will. A situation like Brother Dahui is good enough, really good enough. Zhou Sen said all the words in his heart, and felt much better.

But he just confided in him, and he also knew that even if many people knew these truths, it would be too difficult to change the status quo.

Zhong Ming also has a general understanding of what Zhou Sen said.

It has only been a decade since the post-war reconstruction began, and many industries have grown at a barbaric and high speed.

There are opportunities everywhere, but at the same time, it also means that under such rapid growth, many people's time and energy are compressed to the limit.

An era of hard work is inevitably an era of overwork and death.

This can actually look at the example of Zhong Ming's previous life.

In Zhong Ming's previous life, compared with developed countries in Europe and the United States, domestic enterprises are obviously far behind in terms of overtime hours, work intensity, and salary.

It can be said that this is the impact of the demographic dividend, and it can also be said that this is the only way for economic development.

The so-called demographic dividend, for the development of enterprises, society, and the economy, it is indeed a dividend, but for individuals, it is not necessarily.

The demographic dividend means that there may be two or three or even more people competing for the same position, so in this case, the company has the absolute right to speak.

A said, I have a high degree of education.

B said, I'm capable.

C said that I can work four hours a day and not be paid overtime.

So the company picked C, gave him a low wage, and made him work hard. Not only that, but also let the whole project and the whole company learn from him, work overtime together, and do not pay overtime.

When two people do the work, the boss only recruits one person and gives him 1.5 times the salary, and many people can't tell who loses and who earns.

Maybe this is a normal economic phenomenon, but when everyone in society has to do it, it falls into a kind of involution ecology.

Of course, this is what large companies want to see, after all, it can minimize the cost of compensation, but for everyone, everyone has a hard time.

If someone says that only by working eighteen hours a day can individuals grow, and enterprises can win against competitors in the mall, those who do not work hard will be eliminated by the world......

Then please first see where your ass is sitting, and whether there are tens of billions of businesses waiting for you to inherit.

If you're just a wage earner and you speak for a big company, then it's best not to complain when overwork really hits your head.

……

Soon, Zhong Ming and Zhou Sen arrived at the restaurant where they were eating together.

Jiang Wanna and Lao Xie didn't know each other, so they didn't come.

Zhong Ming found a traditional Chinese restaurant this time and booked a private room, and it didn't take long for Zhang Xiaowen to arrive first.

"Brother Zhong!"

Zhang Xiaowen greeted Zhong Ming excitedly: "I heard that your game is very successful!" Do you have to have two drinks today? ”

Zhong Ming smiled: "As long as you have a lot of things, what kind of wine to drink, order two more hard dishes, and supplement some nutrition." ”
