In recent years, everyone has been discussing all kinds of large and small, long and short holidays, and this year's voice is even louder: "As soon as you calculate, the real holiday is one day, and the rest adjustment is the original time of the workers!"
Every year's compensatory leave has attracted dissatisfaction and protests from many "office workers", but it is still adjusted every year.
Although the country has tried to extend the holiday a little more in the past two years, it seems that everyone does not buy it too much, why is everyone so dissatisfied with the May Day holiday arrangement?
It's really too angry, but it's not, let's take a look at the factors behind it.
1. The disillusionment of a beautiful holiday
In China, May Day used to be a holiday for the working class, a time for them to rest and relax.
However, with the development of the economy and the changes in social structure, the meaning of May Day has gradually changed, and it has become a golden week for shopping and tourism.
The expectations for May Day are completely different from before, and the traditional festive atmosphere is overwhelmed by commercialization and materialization.
Urbanization is accelerating, people's work and life rhythm is also accelerating, and work pressure is increasing.
In this case, May Day was supposed to be a time to relax and reduce stress, but it was always arranged as a back-to-back holiday, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people.
Long vacations have also brought pressure on people to travel.
This Qingming holiday everyone has seen, there are people, it is foreseeable that during the May Day period, the major tourist attractions will also be very crowded, the traffic is very inconvenient, and it is difficult to find a accommodation, these problems are not uncommon, resulting in many people simply not going out, staying at home, so as not to squeeze around.
In addition to personal emotions, the unsatisfactory May Day holiday is also related to business. In order to seize the consumer demand during the long holiday, merchants carried out promotional activities in advance, making the "May Day Promotion" particularly lively.
This kind of business operation often makes people obscure the meaning of May Day itself, and they only care about buying and buying, so that the festival culture is consumed.
2. Annoying leave arrangement
The original intention of the holiday is to create a longer holiday for everyone, but in fact, this arrangement is not as good as imagined, the time arrangement of the holiday is a bit rigid, and the date of the holiday is generally set in advance, but this one-size-fits-all arrangement can not cater to the needs of different people.
A five-day break on May Day sounds tempting, but it's actually a far cry from the ideal.
Not only May Day, but also during major holidays, the national attractions are full, and you have to queue up for a long time to enter, and even some places limit the number of people entering the park because of too many people, so that tourists can't have a good time.
Some people just want to rest and relax during the holidays, but others prefer to travel or do something else. It's a pity that the date of the compensatory leave is fixed and cannot be changed from person to person, so some people are starting to be dissatisfied.
The holiday period has also become a concentrated date for cut leeks, and it has become a "pit man's festival" for merchants. Many merchants have started to raise prices in advance, and want to buy tickets in advance to save some money?
If it doesn't exist, the price will increase for you before and after the holidays, and you have to buy it if you don't buy it! Some discounts are still inflated, and they are not cost-effective at all.
Third, there is a market if it is profitable
It's understandable for businesses to want to make money, but it's not good to mess around at the node of May Day holiday.
Because everyone wants to spend during the long holiday, but all kinds of services, transportation expenses, hotel prices, you know, this kind of price increase is not dozens of dollars, it is a multiplied increase, and no one can control it.
But the problem is not only that prices have risen, but also that the quality of service has not kept up. Many people reported that the price has risen, but the quality of service has not improved.
For example, in some hotels, because there are many guests, even quilt covers and toiletries are changed, and whether you can use a new one depends on luck.
Let's not talk about the price increase for the time being, let's just say that everyone can't have a good time in the past few days.
Some people can only rest three or four days a month, but as a result, the number of days off is even less, and they have to work for six or seven days or even more than ten days in a row, and donkeys can't work like this!
Everyone wants a better vacation, wants to have a few more days of vacation, why is it so difficult?
But don't beat it to death with a stick, although the compensatory leave system is problematic, it also has a lot of positive effects on relieving stress and helping tourism.
In the past two years, the government and relevant departments have also been solving this problem, do you see that this year's Chinese New Year also encourages enterprises to take an extra day off for the Spring Festival?
Therefore, the government will definitely further improve and optimize the policy on the basis of ensuring the rationality of the system, and the system will gradually meet the needs of the public and benefit social development more and more.
epilogue
Although there is controversy, there are actually many benefits, and it is indispensable to alleviate work pressure and promote tourism consumption.
You can have a long break and relax. When you get back to work with more energy after a good rest, you will be more productive.
During the long holiday, everyone is more willing to go out to play, which is indeed a good thing, which not only promotes the development of the tourism market, but also drives the prosperity of various related industries. But to make this thing more likable and meet the needs of modern people, it is really time to consider.
