This year's May Day holiday was adjusted, and CCTV came forward to criticize "I can't bear to look at it directly!"
As May approached, many people began to look forward to Labor Day, but an official notice of compensatory leave made people's hearts sink to the bottom.
In fact, it would be nice to hear that there was only a five-day holiday, but except for the holiday we should have, the remaining two days were actually made up from other weekends. not only used up the supposed weekends for many netizens, but also increased various work pressures after the holiday.
provoked netizens to angrily denounce "Who invented the rest?"
May Day compensatory holiday arrangement
With the passing of the Qingming holiday, April is also approaching the middle of April, and many people are looking forward to the May Day holiday on Labor Day.
Until the official holiday statement, Labor Day will be closed for five consecutive days from May 1 to May 5, and May 1 is the day that was originally going to be a holiday, except for May 4, 5 is the original weekend, and the remaining two days will be made up on April 28 and May 11 respectively.
In other words, the glamorous five-day holiday was actually made up by tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall.
Netizens didn't buy it, and they asked to cancel the holiday in the form of a holiday, and the successive grievances directly scolded the entry about the May Day holiday on the hot search, and the attention to the May Day holiday before and after was as high as 180 million.
This is enough to see how deep the grievances of the workers are, such a compensatory holiday, making up for the former and making up for the after, the famous statutory holiday, but in fact, it is also a day off on the day of the holiday.
Some netizens believe that those experts put the holidays together for a holiday, but also to be able to do more things, travel, go home, go out and relax, which seems to be a particularly beautiful thing, but this is only limited to the holiday, and so on After the holiday, the work that can't be done can be added to the class, if the weekend is fine, but to the single holiday, it is not a dozen days of work in a row.
Such a sudden tightening of work has made many people breathless, so this is why netizens have called for a normal holiday and refused to take a holiday.
Central outlet discharge tank
In fact, for so many years, every year because of the holiday, the grievances of the workers have not decreased, or in other words, every time there is a holiday to make up the shift, those experts who do the holidays will be pushed to the forefront.
Since the end of the epidemic, people's mood for wanting to go out and play has reached its peak, but no one wants to face a mountain of work when they go out and come back, and the term "social animal" has gradually become concrete
In the face of the condemnation of netizens, CCTV stood up to speak out for the majority of migrant workers, and directly pointed out that the May Day holiday was made by piecing together, although it was necessary to work for six days after the Qingming Festival, and the excitement of six consecutive days of work could be "enjoyed" before and after the May Day holiday.
Some netizens bluntly said, "If you can't afford it, don't let it go". Although the scattered holidays are put together for many days, such a strong contrast is difficult to accept, which is equivalent to starving for three days and then nine meals a day.
So some netizens who retreated to the second best place said that they could only put it for three days, one day on May Day and two days on the weekend, which was enough, and there was no need to disrupt people's schedules from the east to the west.
So now the desire of the majority of netizens has become that it is enough to only take the holiday on the day of the festival, and abandon the useless holiday strategy, but is this method feasible?
Feasibility of not compensating for time off
Of course, if according to the thoughts of netizens, only the statutory holidays are closed every year, such an idea sounds very good, but think about the sudden rest in the middle of the week, and those stranded unfinished work will be made up after the holiday as usual.
Like some Qingming festivals of specific significance, such as worshipping ancestors, it is just too late to return on the same day, let alone rushing back in a hurry before talking to a few words with your family.
The compensatory holiday was proposed and implemented by experts in 1999 in order to allow sufficient mobility of the population and thus promote the development of tourism and other specialty industries.
This idea was initially good, but as people have the ability to go out and play, every holiday, especially the May Day and National Day holidays, people come and go, only on the highway will be blocked for a long time, and half of the few days of vacation are spent in the car, not to mention some scenic spots, looking up at the scene full of people. According to the official data of cultural tourism in 2023, during the May Day holiday alone, domestic tourism will be as high as 274 million, and some high-popularity cities, Beijing, Hangzhou, Shanghai and other cities are overcrowded during the holiday.
The rest time that people have finally obtained is exhausted in such a "crowded", and some scenic spots will also cause inevitable losses due to the large flow of visitors.
But if the compensatory holiday is canceled, there is no holiday for several consecutive days, people do not have a long holiday, and naturally they will not travel, and more people will put the weekend on resting themselves, then the tourist flow of scenic spots will decrease sharply, take the epidemic as an example, at that time, because few people will travel, tourist attractions across China have lost millions of yuan.
Then the contradiction comes, not only do you want people to rest to drive economic growth, but you also don't want to let workers completely break away from work during the holidays, and the idea of wanting to have a good rest is so difficult to realize.
If there is no holiday, people's various plans for life can not be realized, and the flow of people across provinces and cities will be greatly reduced, it can only be said that a day or two of vacation is okay to rest, but it is much more difficult to do something.
According to statistics, the average daily working hours in mainland China reached 9.2 hours, ranking first in the world job market.
The mainland has only 11 days of real vacation throughout the year, and this number of vacation days is in the third lowest in the world.
The advent of compensatory leave
In 1999, the State Council proposed a holiday system that originally used the three holidays of the Spring Festival, Labor Day, and National Day to form a seven-day holiday, which was also called "Golden Week."
Until 2008, the seven major statutory holidays were determined, namely New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.
The annual holiday schedule is proposed by the director of the National Tourism Administration, and then submitted to the State Council for decision, so the holiday may not be to let people rest, but to allow people to have more time to travel, so as to drive tourism economic growth and encourage consumption.
And now many companies will implement the policy of single and double rotation or double rest, which is indeed a good way to rest for daily life.
Some people think that the compensatory rest has disrupted the original rhythm of life, and the original daily workload has to be done more vigorously in response to the arrival of the holiday, but some people think that it is good to be able to rest, and the seven-day vacation has been extended to five days.
It can be seen that it is very difficult for the country to find a way to get the best of both worlds, after all, no matter how the policy is amended, some people will be dissatisfied, so instead of complaining about others and themselves, it is better to do their own work.
Let yourself have a vacation where you don't have to continue working from home, make more use of your own time, and enjoy your hard-won vacation.
