Although there is still a certain gap between the mainland data and Hong Kong's unemployment rate of 2.9%, there is still a good improvement on the whole.
However, yesterday, when the editor was brushing Douyin, there was a short video that caught the editor's attention!
The video has a few large yellow letters written on the screen:
"If you are unemployed at the age of 35, is it true that there is no company to ask for it?"
At the bottom, #Mid-life Crisis#, #中年失业#, and #面试35岁#的话题 were added.

Xiaobian wonders: Isn't 35 years old the beginning of life?
Driven by curiosity, the editor continued to read.

Douyin blogger: 35 years old, no company wants it...
It turned out that the blogger had just turned 35,.
One of them was introduced by a friend, otherwise he would almost not have seen it at the age of 35. However!
The blogger felt very ironic, but also felt very lucky!
Because I am unmarried, childless, and have no house or car!
But she herself felt that """: I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to say it.

And Xiamen is another city.
The blogger plans to go to the factory to make screws, but he has never been to the factory, and he is worried that after he goes to the factory, he will be like this for the rest of his life. Straight call:
"The 35-year-old mid-life crisis is really miserable. ”
"I don't know how many people are like me, 35 years old and can't find a job. ”
"It's really ironic that such a big city doesn't have a place for itself. ”
Finally, the blogger asked everyone what they think: Do you have any views on middle-aged people unemployment?
Only then did I realize:!
It has also caused quite a lot of discussion! There are many netizens!

There are even comments: I'm afraid no one even wants to hit the screws!

Some netizens reflected:
"35 years old is already terrible, unmarried and childless, it is a minus, even more terrifying!"
"At the age of 35, unmarried, childless, and unemployed, what were you doing in the first 35 years?"
"If you were the boss, you wouldn't want to be 35. ”
"At the age of 40, I suddenly didn't want to work, but fortunately I persevered for two years, and my two sons were older. In another three or five years, I can find an excuse to go home and take my grandson, and naturally go home and gnaw on my son. ”

This is what the editor remembers:
Yes, age anxiety in the mainland is indeed very serious.
Not only will there be big changes in jobs, but there is also a high probability that income will plummet!

Another Douyin blogger: It's not 35, and there is no company to ask for it!
Some netizens uploaded videos, saying:
I'm obviously not even 35 years old,!
And a few months ago, I was still getting a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan...

But she's worse than the blogger! Because she has no savings, but she still has a mortgage to pay!
"When I was 18 years old, I listened to the advice of relatives and friends, and bought a house in a daze, and now I have a direct loss of 500,000 yuan, and I have to repay a mortgage of 3,500 every month. ”
"They all say 30 and stand, but they don't know where the road is ahead. ”

Seeing these comments, the editor sweated for the job seekers, and sighed helplessly:
The workplace environment in the mainland is too volatile...
And among these comments, one from a netizen commented:
"No, isn't it? ”
The editor also gave a big thumbs up to this comment.
Because from the editor's experience, Hong Kong is a very friendly city!
Here, you won't hear anything about "married not invited", and you won't hear about anxiety-making questions such as "35-year-old crisis".

Open up the recruitment of various places in Hong Kong, whether it is the traditional government Labour Department or the innovative career recruitment network.
The most common sentence listed in the major recruitment is: then the working hours and location, followed by various security benefits.
In addition, in many large companies, including the Hong Kong government, recruitment will also specifically indicate: regardless of disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy, age, family status, sexual orientation, you can apply for the positions listed in this column.
So, don't be surprised to see it, and don't be surprised to see a driver in his 70s!

It's all yes... People work legally and are fully protected.
Of course, we can't deny that "Hong Kong will also have age pressure!"
However, such pressures are prevalent all over the world, and Hong Kong is much better: even if employers are willing to hire younger employees, but!!) (Not to mention, life is just beginning.) ）
In addition, the workplace environment in Hong Kong may go further.

Hong Kong workplace: only four days a week?
The National Federation of Employers of Singapore (NWF) yesterday unveiled new guidelines for Singaporean employees to apply for more time to work from home!
Source: Cable News
It is understood that the new guidelines do require all companies in Singapore to establish a process for employees to submit formal applications for flexible working arrangements.
However, companies cannot reject an employee's application on the grounds that it violates tradition or does not believe in flexible work, but it can refuse to approve an employee's application on the grounds of "deterioration in productivity", "increased costs", or the nature of the work.
However, if the company rejects the application, it shall, and the rejected employee may also.
This also reflects the relaxation of office requirements by local governments and enterprises in order to retain talents!
Some scholars in Hong Kong believe that they believe that Hong Kong will gradually move towards a four-day work under the influence of the "multinational enterprise effect"!
Source: HK01
This effect of multinational enterprises refers to the fact that many headquarters of European and American multinational companies have implemented four-day work, and it is believed that it will be extended to Hong Kong and other branches in the future, gradually adjusting and controlling costs in the process, and finally the whole society will transition to four-day work and become the mainstream!
In addition, Hong Kong is more likely to be like Germany, and it is believed that in addition to reducing the number of working days, relevant policies will also change in the future, so that employees can have more time to focus on their families!
Are you looking forward to such a workplace environment in Hong Kong?
