With the development of society and the improvement of people's awareness, people pay more and more attention to holidays, and the traditional holiday system has not met the increasing demand for festivals. Therefore, in view of the needs of today's people, the relevant departments are also intensively studying new holiday plans. So that it can allow the current migrant workers to obtain greater rights and interests, so as to promote the harmonious development of society. [I don't look at it]
The May Day holiday is approaching, and the popularity of the holiday is only increasing. On the one hand, he called for the cancellation of the holiday, and on the other hand, he felt that it was useless to say it, after all, "the holiday is cool for a while, and the intestines are tired after the holiday".
Recently, an employee of Zhang Xuefeng's company took a photo, Zhang Xuefeng told the employees about this year's May Day holiday arrangement. In the video, Zhang Xuefeng announced that the company will not be on May Day this year, and will not work this Sunday! Not only that, but there is no need to go to work on the first Saturday after the holiday! And the working time in May will be adjusted to 11 o'clock in the morning!

The majority of netizens are very envious, saying that it is someone else's company, and they also hope that "companies all over the country will roll up" in this regard! The words "envy" are really tired of saying.
Every year, the May Day holiday plan will cause controversy and criticism among people. Now there are not a few days left before May Day, and the holiday is coming, and its popularity has set off another wave on the Internet, once again triggering the old question of "should the holiday be adjusted".
From the data point of view, there are about 115-116 statutory holidays in the mainland a year, including Saturdays and Sundays. At first glance, 365 days a year, one-third of the time is spent on vacation, but why do migrant workers still have so much "resentment" about compensatory leave? It is because if we exclude the 104 days of Saturdays and Sundays, we only have 11 statutory holidays.
The total number of vacation days is also considered to be above the average in the world, but everyone still feels that the vacation is not enough and life is hard, and the main reason is that the leave system cannot be accurately implemented. Not to mention those workers who take weekends and shift breaks, they are even more disgusted and even resistant to compensatory leave.
Regarding the May Day holiday, the central media Voice of China recently issued an article saying: "A holiday is by no means a holiday"! However, when I reopened the official account of the Voice of China, I found that the title had been modified, and "a holiday is by no means a holiday" had been deleted. However, the article was reposted by other media outlets.
Our focus is not on the addition, deletion, modification and review of central media articles, but on the mainland's reform of the leave system. On December 23, 1949, the Government Council issued the "National Annual Festival and Memorial Day Holiday Method". There are four holidays every year, 1 day on New Year's Day, 1 day on May Day, 3 days on Spring Festival, and 2 days on National Day, a total of seven days of statutory holidays.
At the same time, the six-day work week was implemented at that time, and it was not completely rested on weekends, and it was necessary to do housework, take care of children, and buy daily necessities. Since the working hours were basically the same at that time, I did not always have time to buy daily necessities.
Moreover, the purchase of daily necessities also required various material stamps for "special products" at that time, such as buying oil and noodles not only with money, but also with oil stamps and food stamps. So there is the saying that the older generation fights on Sundays, on Mondays when they are tired.
More than 40 years later, Hu Ping, then director of the China Science and Technology Promotion Center of the State Science and Technology Commission. Under his observation, many countries in Europe and the United States have implemented a five-day or four-and-a-half-day work system, and although the working hours have decreased, the work efficiency has increased instead of decreasing.
In 1986, he led the center to study the five-day work week that was more in line with the national conditions of the mainland, and in 1994, he began to try to reform the five-day work week, and began to try to implement the large and small weekly work system.
One year after the implementation of the law, the mainland also began the real weekend on May 6 and 7, 1995. Although theoretically, the five-day two-day work system has been implemented nationwide, but it is not a mandatory system.
In an online poll of the People's Daily in 2018, it was shown that among 10,000 people participating in the voting activities, the proportion of weekends was only a pitiful 11.9%, so most companies still have a six-day work week, which is even worse than the 1994 weekly system. Therefore, in the course of the mainland's holiday reform for so many years, it has not been possible for most enterprises to change the implementation method of fake holidays.
In order to stimulate the economy and stimulate domestic demand, the mainland improved the arrangements for holidays on 18 September 1999 on the basis of the "National Holiday Method for Annual Festivals and Memorial Days."
The May Day holiday has been changed to 3 days, and the National Day holiday has been changed to 3 days. At that time, because of the "compensatory holiday" system, the "Golden Week" in our impression was a seven-day holiday, and in the childhood of the post-80s and 90s, we could see two familiar programs every year: "May Day Seven" and "National Day Seven Days of Music". Therefore, since 2000, the mainland's "compensatory leave" system has begun.
Later, due to the May Day and the National Day of the two "Golden Week" time is too concentrated, although the domestic demand and tourism consumption economy have been stimulated, but it has also caused an impact on some people, in the city with developed tourism, the local people who do not travel in the holiday vacation plan are also congested traffic, the sudden increase in prices and the decline in the quality of local scenic service are destroyed. It's not good to play, and it's not good to eat.
Therefore, on December 14, 2007, the mainland canceled the "Golden Week" and added one day of holiday to the Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival. On December 11, 2013, our leave method was revised for the third time and is still in use today.
However, due to the increasing work pressure and working hours, and the failure to implement the two-day rest system, the current holiday arrangements are far from being able to relieve the physical and mental fatigue of migrant workers.
Therefore, it is hoped that the state can further revise the holiday system in the mainland and increase the popularity of the two-day holiday system, so that migrant workers can really have leave to take and leave. Let the migrant workers under the increasing pressure of life through the holidays to rest and adjust.
But then again, why is it that the holiday is discussed again and again every year?, because most of our long holidays are patchworked, either the weekend before the holiday or the weekend after the holiday. This kind of patchwork can easily disrupt people's daily routines, for example, employees need to work 10 days in a row to take 5 days off on a holiday in a certain year, which makes employees very angry.
Take May Day as an example, after calculation, working as a worker is equivalent to a day off. What's even more uncomfortable is that for this day off, workers need to work for many days before and after the holiday. The biological clock will be disrupted, making the migrant workers physically and mentally withdrawn, and it is better to have a normal rest without a holiday.
