Recently, with the May Day holiday approaching, everyone's expectations for the holiday are increasing day by day. However, Wu Xin, a participant in the two-day holiday policy, has made quite a splash in his recent remarks: he pointed out that instead of increasing holidays, it is better to really implement annual leave and weekend weekends every year.
On the eve of the holidays, everyone is always full of anticipation, hoping to have a good rest or go out to relax on a trip. But in reality, such expectations are often greatly undermined by overtime and compensatory time off.
This year's May Day holiday, on the surface we have holidays to enjoy, by looking at the calendar we can find that the two weeks before and after May Day holiday arrangements almost make people can not really feel the taste of the holiday.
On the eve of the May Day holiday, many companies have to work overtime in advance in order to make up for the job vacancies that may be brought about by the holiday, and even after the holiday, they need to continue to work overtime to adjust the work progress.
For most workers, holidays are no longer pure breaks, but a mix of overtime and compensatory time off. This phenomenon has become particularly evident in the past two years, and as the number of holidays increases, so does the dissatisfaction with the compensatory holidays.
Many people began to express their displeasure online. They hope that the government will cancel this unreasonable holiday policy and resume normal holiday arrangements. The main complaints were about the extremely low availability of holidays and the fact that overtime was seriously affecting their quality of life.
Wu Xin's speech seemed to ignite this flame of dissatisfaction. He emphasized that instead of adjusting on holidays, it is better to truly implement the annual leave and weekends of each employee, so as to solve the problem fundamentally.
In this context, the real situation of the May Day holiday has gradually become clear. What was supposed to be a moment of relaxation turned into an overtime shift for many people on their way to work.
Even though the number of holidays appears to be increasing on the surface, in reality, many people are not enjoying even the most basic annual leave due to overtime and compensatory leave.
As the holiday season approaches, the situation is not improving. As the complaints on the Internet intensified, more people began to pay attention to the issue. They want more substantial changes than just adding the number of days of vacation on paper.
Wu Xin's views and the voices of netizens jointly reveal a deep-seated problem - under the current work and rest system, it is difficult for employees to get the rest and relaxation they deserve.
What they crave is not just the increase in vacation, but more importantly the quality and practical effect of the vacation. This phenomenon not only affects the physical and mental health of employees, but also reflects the irrationality of the current holiday arrangement.
Against this backdrop, more voices are calling for reform. They hope that through policy adjustments, the holiday season will truly become a time to rest and recharge, rather than another form of work burden.
This call has resonated widely in all walks of life, and many people have begun to rethink the meaning and implementation of the holiday system.
Wu Xin's proposal was like a seed that sparked a deep reflection on the quality of the holiday. He proposed that employees' right to rest should be fundamentally guaranteed, and that annual leave and double rest should not be just nominal, but a policy that can be implemented in real terms.
This view is increasingly supported by a growing number of people, especially employees who often work overtime late into the night, who are feeling extremely tired and frustrated by the status quo.
There are also some different voices in society. Some believe that the increase in holidays and the adjustment of work regimes may have an impact on the operation of enterprises, especially in times of economic pressure, which require more labor to ensure the continuity of production and services.
Although there are practical considerations for this view, in the eyes of most workers, long hours of work and stress will only reduce work efficiency and quality of life, and in the long run, it is not conducive to the healthy development of society.
