In recent years, once the country announces the holiday notice, it can always be on the hot search again and again.
Again and again, the debate over the time of the holiday has not stopped, and although many problems have been raised, the situation of compensatory leave for long holidays has not improved.
More and more migrant workers are beginning to feel dissatisfied with the announced holidays, and as the voices of complaints increase, many experts have also come forward to speak.
Some experts said: "The real purpose of these holidays is not to rest, but to stimulate the consumer economy."
No one is willing to take a vacation for the purpose of going out to spend money, not to rest, why do you say that? What is the basis for this?
The May Day holiday is on the hot search again
Since the release of the May Day holiday arrangement, it has been on the hot search for many times, and the reason is that on the eve of the holiday, major units have begun to enter the crazy make-up mode, which will catch the office workers who are already ready for vacation a little unprepared.
Many workers are even more puzzled, before the vacation has started, they have already begun to prepare for make-up shifts, I don't know what the meaning of such a vacation is.
Suddenly, the discussion about the May Day holiday became more and more intense, and many netizens began to pick up the calendar, and when the office workers finally understood the reason why they made up the shift, they were even more angry.
It turns out that in order to have a long holiday on May Day, the state stipulates that one day should be made up before the holiday, and another day will be made up after the holiday.
At first glance, it seems very reasonable, but sharp-eyed netizens soon discovered the greasy in it, which makes up for the holidays, and after some calculations, it is actually a lonely.
After figuring out the reason, a lot of controversy was set off on the Internet, and overtime people complained even more, not to mention a long vacation, even the basic rest could not be guaranteed, and it would take 6 days after the holiday.
With the increase in the number of discussions, a new upsurge of discussion has been triggered, so the topic of the May Day holiday is unreasonable has been on the hot search many times.
The purpose of the holiday is to promote consumption
And in order to let everyone understand the hardships of the May Day holiday, experts had to come forward to explain the reason. Experts believe that if you look at it from an economic perspective, such a holiday is actually reasonable.
The real purpose of the holiday is not to let people lie at home to rest, but to extend the holiday, stimulate domestic demand, and stimulate consumption.
In fact, it is also very easy to understand that the extension of the holiday will promote people to go out, whether long or short, and the flow of people will increase suddenly during the festival, and the increase in the flow of people can also bring new business opportunities to businesses and the country's tourism department.
Adjusting holidays can concentrate the flow of people, and can also allow people to concentrate consumption and stimulate economic growth, and borrowing from the front can also ensure a certain amount of work, saying that it is a holiday, but it is actually an economic strategy.
Although the epidemic is now over, the mainland's current consumption power has not returned to the level before the epidemic.
Coupled with the development of e-commerce, offline stores are even more accessible, although online consumption has become the mainstream, but offline physical stores are the foundation of the economy, so we must find ways to stimulate this part of the economy.
Another reason is that since the pandemic, people have realized the importance of saving money, and many people have begun to have the idea of saving money and reduced many unnecessary expenses.
If the country does not rely on means to stimulate domestic demand, this is not ideal for the economic development of offline physical stores, so in order to stimulate offline consumption, it can only stimulate the sluggish consumer market by adjusting the festival.
Obviously, such a statement is not accepted by netizens, although it is important to stimulate economic development, but it is at the expense of the interests of migrant workers, such a holiday method not only can not make migrant workers relax, but also is likely to backfire.
Perhaps this method of compensatory leave can indeed stimulate some domestic demand, but this is mainly aimed at high-income or middle-income people, and for low-income employees, it is actually worse.
In order to catch up with the workload, many employees can only work overtime crazily before the holiday, and after returning from the holiday, they have to continue to work for 6 consecutive days, which leads many people to think that the whole holiday not only has no opportunity to relax, but also makes them physically and mentally exhausted, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to go out to relax.
In response to these problems, experts also gave advice. They called on the government and enterprises to fully consider the actual needs of employees.
We can't just pursue economic benefits and make some employees overly tired of work, which not only fails to achieve benefits, but also may make employees disgusted, and ultimately damage the interests of the enterprise.
Whether it is a unit or an enterprise, we should pay more attention to the needs of employees, and find a balance between the personal needs of employees and the interests of the enterprise, so as to achieve more long-term and better development.
