Hey, friends! A while ago, there was a hot map in the circle of friends that became popular! Li Yifei, the big man of Sanqi Mutual Entertainment, turned an article and published a thought-provoking emotion by the way: "I still can't understand a problem, our older generation doesn't stop on weekends, and they are trying their best to catch up with the US imperialists, why is it our turn to be here, and we have to rest ironclad on Saturday?"
As soon as this status came out, I didn't expect there to be few likes, and Mr. Li was quite helpless about this, and added: "On weekdays, I post a circle of friends, and the speed of likes is swishing, and at least more than 50 of my own employees respond in ten minutes." Look at this now, stunned is not moving, it seems that the six-day work week can only be a beautiful fantasy of the bosses, and the employees are not cold at all, it is really a pity, how can we find this group of comrades-in-arms who are highly compatible with the values and are in the same boat through thick and thin?"
Not only Li Yifei, but many bosses may have similar ideas. They pondered that it was okay to go to work on Saturdays, and they also hoped that they could find more "like-minded people who crossed the river in the same boat".
However, this concept of "solidarity" may be understood differently by employees and bosses. In my opinion, it is more like a "benefit-sharing alliance".
Wage earners and entrepreneurs, the identities of the two are very different in themselves. Most of the workers do not own shares, and they sell their time in exchange for a stable income, and their jobs are highly mobile and can be easily replaced. Therefore, as a boss who holds shares, he must not be able to demand employees with his own standards.
Employees are tasked with doing their due diligence during the normal workday, and if they want to sacrifice Saturday, they must come up with real money – that is, overtime pay in exchange.
Hanging the slogan of "helping each other in the same boat" all day long, but ignoring the actual conditions and talking about the pattern, how can today's young people easily pay!
These remarks stirred up a thousand waves, and many "workers" expressed their dissatisfaction, and all kinds of complaints came one after another.
Having said that, between single and double holidays, there is really only one day of difference, does it really have that much impact?
The answer is yes! The life-to-work ratio in the single-rest mode is 6:1, and when it is replaced by a two-day holiday, it becomes 5:2, and the fatigue level soars more than twice in an instant. After 52 weeks of a year, there are 52 more days off on weekends, which is close to two months of good times when converted into months!
Imagine that these 52 days can be used to travel and explore, bury yourself in the sea of books, sweep goods wildly, watch dramas, and even spend time with family and friends. Compared to being forced to work overtime in the office for 52 days, these are two very different life scripts.
Those remarks of "why people should take a Saturday off" and "996 is a blessing" are, in the final analysis, just wishful thinking of some bosses. Rest or not, the blessings are geometric, everyone knows it.
Today's young people are not unwilling to work hard and dare not endure hardships, but gradually realize that work is not the whole of life, and more importantly, young people are becoming more and more savvy, but they are not so easy to be fooled by "painting cakes".
A good leader must have a broad vision, but he cannot kidnap employees based on the word "pattern" alone. The next time you find that employees have a cold reaction to your speech, it is better to examine yourself first: Have you given employees a raise? Have you accounted for overtime pay on Saturday? After all, real benefits are the most powerful cohesion!
