One night in early February 2021, in a rented house in Chengdu.

"Hey, have you decided not to go back during the Spring Festival?" Zhang Lan, who was leaning on the sofa, turned her head and asked Sun Han.

"I can't go back, one is afraid of the recurrence of the epidemic, or don't run away; One is that although our offline research project is over, the online supporting course we cooperate with is still under maintenance. Sun Han replied a little helplessly.

"Then how did you spend the Spring Festival?" Zhang Lan asked next.

"Just, let's see which friend can make an appointment, have a meal, I actually haven't thought about it, now the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is not very strong, we have been in Australia for so many years, it seems that the atmosphere is stronger than in China, at least the Chinese area, Chinatown, very lively."

"Or", Zhang Lan thought about it and opened her mouth, "Or, you can go home with me and have a meal together, anyway, don't you eat everywhere, haha." ”

"Okay, you wouldn't be a family dinner, would you? I used to be weirdly embarrassed. Sun Han was a little undecided.

"What kind of family dinner, just me and my parents of three, Chinese New Year's Eve, you come home with me, have a meal together, my parents you haven't seen it."

Sun Han smiled and said: "That's okay, you're so gracious, I definitely have to go, I can't miss the dinner." ”

Zhang Lan continued to explain: "Well, it won't be too long anyway, after eating, my parents made an appointment with other friends, I guess we have to find something to do, and we can't just have a simple meal, let's talk about it then, so it's decided." ”

"Okay, okay, no problem, I'll definitely go eat well, I haven't seen my uncle and aunt for a long time." Sun Han paused, as if thinking about something, "By the way, how is your education and training program, you seem to be going to run through the entire winter vacation, right?" ”

"Yes, your research is in time before the Spring Festival, and it is all over, but our teaching and training courses have to be available throughout the holiday, but we are not idle, anyway, we are all about the same, the more public holidays, the more winter and summer vacations, the busier we are."

"There is no way to study here, I have done research before, and I usually reunite at home after the Spring Festival, or there are arrangements at home, and few people are willing to study after the holiday, so we have to rush several projects before the Spring Festival and complete them quickly."

Zhang Lan nodded, and then sighed again, "Recently, we have become less and less busy, so we are busier and more tired, alas. ”

"Huh?" Sun Han was a little puzzled, "Why are there fewer people at this juncture when you are so busy?" ”

Zhang Lan frowned, "Isn't it, as far as our team is concerned, someone just mentioned his resignation two days ago." ”

"Why did you leave your job? Did you talk to that colleague? Can you still stay, even for the time being? ”

Zhang Lan shook her head, "It's talked, she took the initiative to come and talk to me before applying in the system." But, quite resolutely, I can also see it, to put it bluntly, it's a little unbalanced in my heart. ”

"You mean the salary? Unbalanced? Or something else? Sun Han continued to ask.

"In fact, it is because sometimes some new projects or temporary projects, most of them are handed over to our team to do, some people inevitably feel that this is more tiring, or there are always some overtime phenomena have to be dealt with, although we also have overtime pay, vacation and the like, but, one after another, everyone occasionally turns to each other, it is inevitable to feel unbalanced, as if other teams are not as tired as us, but the people in our team did not say that they were treated specially, such as a significant increase in wages, Or there are other benefits, but they don't. I guess that's probably because of that. ”

"Actually, now, most people are so realistic, this is understandable, but at this juncture, during your busiest holidays, you propose to resign, a little, a little too much, at least you have to handle all the work and hand it over." Sun Han added this sentence as if he was uneven.

"Then you must hand over the work, she, this aspect is okay, but, this is suddenly one less person, even if we distribute the task equally, but it is equivalent to the burden on everyone, and it is a little heavier."

"That's for sure, there is one less number of people for no reason, you can't help it, I think, Sister Lan Lan, you have to pay more attention, I think this is a bit of a bad start, whether it's fear of hardship or dissatisfaction, it's definitely not her alone, there is such a sudden resignation, you have to keep an eye on it, and the second one will appear immediately."

"Well, I know, but what they talk about in private, I can't control this, I can only say, lead by example, in fact, everyone can also see it, even if there is a temporary task to press, it is definitely not for everyone to be burdened, I myself must be the first to bear the brunt, I think, since I can see it, most people should still be able to understand."

"Hey, it's not easy to lead a team anyway, you have to keep an eye on the point and manage the point." Sun Han said silently.

"Anyway, I immediately fed back to our Mr. Zhao, and he also agreed that he could increase his efforts to recruit new people as soon as possible, let's see the situation, I hope to recruit people as soon as possible, so that it can ease up a little."

"Well, that's fine, there's no hurry to recruit people, it's estimated that in this winter vacation, that's it, I've seen the Spring Festival, let's look at the post-holiday, I guess I can apply for more jobs."

Zhang Lan nodded in agreement, "Yes, I think so too." He continued to ask Sun Han, "What about you, is the research project you did this time still going well?" ”

"Research project, it's okay, this time our team is very meticulous, including the holiday tutors we trained here, are relatively good to complete the task, a few days ago at the review meeting, our two teams satisfaction survey feedback data, is directly hit on the big screen, this data, absolutely clear at a glance."

"Then it looks like you're definitely the winner." Zhang Lan lowered her eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Sun Han let out a long sigh, "It's our victory, and it can't be anything, anyway, I haven't seen the so-called reward promised to the winner, and I don't know if this reward is just a verbal one." I can bear it, there are other people in our team, everyone hears it, and everyone watches it. ”

Sun Han continued to say helplessly, "You see that you just said that someone in your team suddenly resigned, I think in the final analysis, it is because I am tired and can't see any corresponding rewards, we are also facing the same problem, and I am now starting to worry about whether there will be people in our team who have begun to be turbulent, but if there is really anyone in turmoil, I fully understand." ”

"You don't think you're going to be in turmoil first, are you?" Zhang Lan asked with a smile.

Sun Han shrugged his shoulders, "I think if I don't have the slightest idea, I'll be too wronged." In particular, our Mr. Yao also deliberately looked for me, in fact, it was to send a message, and try to find Dr. Xu to communicate with him in the future. ”

"Huh? Then you Mr. Yao don't care about this? ”

"The group is expanding very fast, Mr. Yao, after all, he is still on the side of the group, and he always has to go on a business trip, and another Mr. Zhang, he may not be able to come to the company once a week, and he can't take care of these things of the company. Actually, I'm not so proud of a person, if I change to a really professional enough, it's not that I can't report, after all, I'm just a research director, and I'm not the general manager, I'm sure I have a reporting object. ”

"So, do you still think that Dr. Xu has some problems in terms of professionalism?"

"I can't say that she is completely unprofessional, her own professional field, is indeed specialized, but in other words, it is a bit too narrow, we are research, we are not asking college students to write papers, professional in a subdivision of the field to engage in high-end things. In addition, she actually worked for more than half a year after graduating from the doctorate, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a child, and then had a second child. It was probably more than half a year ago that I started to plan to come out to work, and by chance, Mr. Zhang came to us. Later, I learned that her so-called research experience was that during her doctoral period, she had been a research tutor, but it was only a fixed-point part-time job, not a whole process with the group, let alone a whole process follow-up. In this experience, many of the things she said sounded like her thinking pattern was still stuck in a few years ago, as if it was just when the concept of research was first introduced, and it was a bit far away from now. ”

Sun Han immediately added, "I personally think that her statement is not suitable for the present, let alone the future." Of course, if we are always in a hurry, just explore slowly, then I have nothing to say, now our process is like a constant trial and error. Actually, it's not necessary. ”

Zhang Lan said "um", "If this is the case, you are becoming more and more embarrassed, and this situation is also not good, doesn't this become, no one will listen to what you say." But if no one listens to what the research director says, then who should listen? ”

Sun Han smiled bitterly, "So, didn't our President Yao say it, we have to listen to Dr. Xu." You say that I am doing this job, but how to proceed, although not everything is disagreed, but when the two of us disagree, it is not a few. Our Mr. Yao himself is not from the field of education, let alone research, and he is always muttering. Originally, I was not very sure, and I had to find the leaders of the group who were responsible for teaching and research, but now it is good, and now it is said by Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zheng that they basically only believe in Dr. Xu. I really think I'm having a hard time right now, anyway. ”

"And how are you looking at this new opportunity?" Zhang Lan asked further.

"It's just that the headhunters are right, I also plan to look after the Spring Festival, I guess there will be more new opportunities to come out, but strive for more contact, and strive to get a few more offe

, so that a little choice of space is OK. In fact, I am not in a hurry to leave, and although the winter vacation project is completed, I will go to work after the Spring Festival, and I will immediately face a new round of mid-term research projects after the start of school. ”

"You're pretty complete, almost, I opened my resume a while ago, but like you said, some headhunters also told me that there will be more new opportunities after the Spring Festival, and I'm looking at it too."

Sun Han looked very determined, "Yes, I've always said anyway, don't care if you really want to leave immediately, at least you have to connect with the headhunter first, put yourself in the market, and prove your value from the side." ”

"Well, anyway, let's look at it first, but the Spring Festival still has to be well lived, the matter of new opportunities, after the holiday, continue to find it slowly." Zhang Lan also replied in response.

"Of course, I'll go to your house then, you can prepare more food, I'm afraid I won't have enough to eat. Ha ha. ”

"You're a foodie, haha."
