But on this day , On her birthday , I was blown up by a phone call asking me to go back to work overtime , Why on earth did she cry ？ It's because of overtime ？ It's because there are no blessings ？ It's because of lost time off ？
Are not .
What is?
Work overtime
Work overtime , It seems that it has gradually become a topic that everyone in the workplace can't get around , Everyone in the workplace , They all have the experience of working overtime .
But overtime , It seems to be gradually becoming a kind of reasonable enterprise arrangement , Overtime is hated by everyone , It has become the hidden rule of the enterprise 、 It becomes a responsibility that employees have to bear .
Everybody's spitting 996, But the high-tech park in Nanshan District of Shenzhen is still brightly lit every night ; Everybody's spitting 996, But late 9 spot , It's still the hardest time to get a taxi in some areas .
overnight , Many people have realized that 996 The seriousness of ; overnight , A lot of people started passively 996.
01 Overtime caused by work
What is overtime ？ Overtime is a person's working time beyond the agreed time between himself and the enterprise , The act of continuing to work , Sometimes it comes from the urgency of the work , Sometimes it is due to the lack of efficiency .
But most of the time , Overtime is not caused by the employees themselves , It comes from the influence of the enterprise .
Unreasonable workload ： Many enterprises are unable to grasp the actual work content of employees , Or underestimate the problems employees encounter in their work 、 Too urgent a time limit , So that employees undertake the work intensity beyond the scope of their daily work .
An emergency ： On the other hand , It is the enterprise that meets some sudden emergency situations , And the cause of these emergencies , It's usually not the employees themselves , It is caused by the overall decision-making of its superior leaders and the enterprise , But it's still the employees who bear the consequences .
02 Overtime caused by leadership
If it's overtime caused by work , It can barely be called “ valuable ” Of , So many times, overtime caused by leaders , There is no reason .
Many business leaders have a natural sense of unease , Enjoy management in leadership positions 、 After the right to command , Just like “ poisoning ” commonly , Unable to control .
But many leaders are limited by their own abilities , There's no way to make sure that every command you give 、 Every arrangement is precise 、 Correct , On the contrary, many of his actions , They all feel uneasy .
The best way to get rid of this uneasiness , Let the subordinates flatter 、 It is to keep track of subordinates all the time 、 It is to shift the responsibility to subordinates .
So subordinates have to work overtime to express their “ Loyalty ”, I have to work overtime to avoid the leadership “ discontent ”, I have to prove myself by working overtime “ value ”.
Unfortunately , These overtime work is just like sitting in a rut , There is no value .
Why do we
Work overtime
Some people say , A large company 996 Paid enough overtime , And all kinds of food 、 Taxi subsidies , So big companies 996, Ben is a normal thing .
But this view seems self consistent , But it is still a conclusion drawn from a narrow perspective , In fact, the big companies 996, It's not a reasonable behavior .
If big companies will 996 This kind of behavior as a standard for entering the industry , That means all practitioners need to accept by default 996 A week , It means people with stronger abilities , In an instant, they all lost the right to choose .
It's more like 996 When it becomes an industry hidden rule , Whether there is a possibility of further extension , Will it eventually evolve into 007？
01 people follow the example of their superiors
Big business exists 996, but 996 It's not just in big companies , Many small and medium-sized enterprises are also facing fierce competition , Also needed 996 The existence of .
Big companies get it through subsidies 996, And small businesses , It can be achieved through the “ Example ” Effect to achieve the same ultra long overtime .
“ You don't see big companies are 996？ Our company just worked overtime to 8 You don't want to order it ？”
Big companies get attention at the same time , Its behavior will also affect those who are attracted by it , But big business 996 Become a hidden rule .
Employees in small businesses , In the face of the company's overtime requirements , How dare you refuse ？
02 Climb the threshold
If all employees think overtime is unacceptable , If all businesses , They all think that overtime is a kind of low income behavior , Then there will be no common phenomenon of overtime in the whole society .
But when the first employee shows himself by working overtime ; When the first company realized revenue growth through overtime , Then overtime will soon become a growing necessity .
Employees and enterprises in the society compete together , When an employee gains the favor of the enterprise by damaging his own interests , Then other employees are intimidated by him ; If an enterprise achieves growth by working overtime , Then all other enterprises must make corresponding countermeasures .
No one wants to slow down , So everyone is working more classes .
03 Personnel alienation
Overtime is a very cruel thing , Overtime not only means that employees need to pay more energy into the enterprise , In the process, employees are still working with their families 、 The outside world is fragmented .
Many people should have experienced , Long hours of continuous overtime , When you get home, you fall asleep , It's hard to raise your spirit, communicate with your family, or do what you like .
Even , Exhaustion leaves us with no energy at all , To think about our career development 、 About our personal growth .
thus , Overtime makes a person no longer a “ people ”, Instead, it becomes a part of the enterprise “ Tools ”, When a person becomes “ Tools ” when , That is to say, enterprises can be allowed to “ At the mercy of ”.
As a result, enterprises have realized the maximization of their own interests .
Why do we
Still working overtime ？
The girl who has been working overtime for half a month in a row , Why on the day of my birthday , A nervous breakdown in such an inappropriate situation as a taxi ？
Actually , The key reason is that birthdays are a personal holiday , Reminds her that in addition to work , There are other meanings in the world .
This girl at this moment , Maybe I finally realized the struggle of working overtime 、 Behind the so-called overtime, we are responsible for the enterprise , It's not going to be appreciated .
Because she realized , It's not her initiative to give , But lost in the lies woven by countless people .
01 Overtime and struggle
Is overtime a struggle ？ Is it a way to change one's situation ？ May be , But definitely the slowest 、 The most meaningless 、 And the least successful way .
The essence of working overtime is not enough , The act of simply extending working hours in exchange for more value , Ben is a cheap 、 Everyone has a way of competing .
We fight for some goals in life , But the means of struggle , But it determines the height of our life 、 What kind of return can you get .
Overtime is a simple time to pay , Ben is the most meaningless thing , It's also the biggest lie in this society .
02 Overtime and pay
A lot of people will work overtime , Think of yourself as a contribution to the enterprise , Think that business leaders 、 The boss should be happy with that 、 For this reason, I like myself a lot .
But this kind of overtime = Awareness of giving , This is the enterprise 、 A lie made up by leaders to make employees pay more labor , In fact, working overtime is not equal to paying , Giving doesn't mean getting those scarce resources .
What really gives us access to scarce resources , This is the value created by our own labor , It's a clear result orientation , in other words , Overtime or not 、 It doesn't matter how long you work , What matters is what we can create .
And we want to get better labor value , It just needs us to get out of the heavy work , We just need to have our own spare time to study and improve .
03 Choose and give up
A lot of time , We can't resist the leader's overtime arrangement , After all, many times it's called “ voluntarily ” Working overtime , This is coercion with implied threats .
For us , Choose to accept or give up , It depends on the root cause of overtime , Is it from the work itself or the leadership .
If it's because of the work itself , And they have reasonable pay for their work , Then we can choose to endure temporarily ; Correspondingly, if it comes from the leader's personal uneasiness , Then you need to think about giving up .
But temporary tolerance doesn't mean rationalizing it , I don't think it's normal , It's about tolerating and looking for the possibility of change .
Accumulate in endurance , Change after accumulation .
Companies don't thank employees who work overtime , Because that book is the illusion woven by enterprises 、 Lies and threatening coercion , This is the purpose of the enterprise .
Employees who work overtime don't thank themselves , Because it doesn't bring any positive changes to yourself , Only in the day-to-day overtime , I've got an injury .
No one thanks you , Because this is a trap .
