May Day holiday: the burden of engineering workers
The May Day holiday is a long-awaited time for most people, but it can be a challenging and stressful time for engineers. On this holiday day, the engineers faced many dilemmas and challenges, which made the holiday a burden.
Work stress and holidays
The work of engineers often requires strict work cycles and tight project schedules. Before the holidays, many engineers will experience overtime, often sacrificing a lot of rest time and personal life in order to complete projects and tasks. As a result, when the holidays come, they may already be in a state of extreme exhaustion and unable to truly relax and enjoy the holidays.
Technological renewal and self-pressure
The technology in the field of engineering is updated very quickly, and engineers need to constantly learn and adapt to new technologies and tools. As a result, even during the holidays, many engineers can still feel stressed as they realize that they need to constantly upskill and keep up with the industry. This self-pressure makes the holidays a time to learn and improve, rather than a true moment of relaxation and rest.
Project delays and anxiety
Before the holidays, engineers may already have a lot of unfinished projects and tasks that can often become a burden on their vacations. Engineering people may feel anxious and restless, worrying that there is still a lot of work to take care of at the end of the vacation, and may even need to work remotely during the holidays to deal with emergencies. The stress of such project postponements makes the holidays even more unpleasant and burdensome.
Family relationships and time allocation
Holidays are supposed to be a time for engineers to reunite with their families and enjoy family fun, but due to the special nature of their work, they may not be able to completely get out of work. As a result, they are often faced with the dilemma of time allocation and are unable to spend enough time with family and friends, which can affect family relationships and personal quality of life, adding to the burden of vacation.
epilogue
Although the May Day holiday is an opportunity for engineers to relax and rest, it often becomes a burden and a challenge. Factors such as work pressure, technology updates, project delays, and family relationships prevent engineers from truly relaxing and enjoying their vacations. Therefore, we need to realize that the holiday of engineering people is not easy, and we need to give them more understanding and support to help them have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
