It's almost the May Day holiday again, and many people are beginning to look forward to the arrival of the holiday. But before the official arrival of the holiday, I have already begun to busy making duty schedules and arranging work during the holidays. At this time, those "duty schedules" that only pay attention to the form and ignore the actual situation will become a hot topic among the majority of netizens.
It is generally believed that arranging work during the holiday itself is reasonable, but if it is just a formality, it will really affect the right of employees to relax and rest. Judging from the online discussion and some research results, the shift schedule announced in advance actually exposed a lot of management problems.
First of all, this practice reflects the fact that some units still have the same old management style, ignoring the real needs of employees. Scheduling is sometimes not scientific enough, and it seems to be orderly, but in fact, the form is more important than the content. This not only wastes resources, but also affects the physical and mental health of employees.
Moreover, there is a rapid change in work patterns these days, such as remote work. These new ways could have helped solve the problem of holiday work, but many units still stuck to the old management philosophy and failed to keep up with the times. They have not taken advantage of the potential of technology, and they are still in the same old line, which is obviously no longer suitable for the needs of modern society.
Nowadays, it's important to get more breaks and be productive. How to ensure that the necessary work can be carried out smoothly while respecting and satisfying the leave needs of employees to the greatest extent has become a big problem that many organizations must face. Scientific human resource management should be people-oriented, take into account individual circumstances, and be flexible and adjustable, not one-size-fits-all.
In recent years, some regions have also introduced regulations that clearly stipulate the minimum amount of leave for employees and require that leave arrangements be determined in full consultation with labor unions or employee representatives.
People outside enjoy the flowers and colors in spring, but they can only stand still like a potted plant.
From ancient times to the present, holidays have been regarded as the greatest benefit for employees.
But the plan can never catch up with the changes, and every May Day, the most affected are always those small employees at the bottom.
It's really emotional.
Some unit leaders are quite fond of the new and hate the old. Although the rules are outdated, they still stick to them.
Every time on the eve of the festival, their first reaction is to organize everything and make good duty arrangements, for fear that something temporary will happen and be complained that they are "unattended".
This kind of practice as if going back to the past is naturally not appreciated by employees.
There are also some people who adhere to professional ethics and always take their work very seriously, and take it for granted that they are prepared in advance and have a good duty schedule.
Looking at the numbers on the duty schedule, the lines are densely packed, marked with the name of each employee.
But whether this intention is not in line with modern management concepts may not be a big problem in the eyes of some bosses.
Some leaders are deeply affected by the old system, and as soon as they take office, they are eager to learn from others.
On the eve of holidays, they always hurriedly draw up a duty schedule for the occasion, and it seems that they are very good at asking everyone for advice, but in fact, the rationality of these arrangements is really questionable.
Although the employees have opinions in their hearts, most of the time they still carefully hide them, feeling quite a bit upside down and helpless.
Many people's daily routine is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and occasionally they have to work overtime.
I was looking forward to a holiday and wanted to relax completely, but I had to face the trouble of being on duty. Usually, there is at least a weekend to rest if there is no compensatory holiday, but when it comes to the holiday, the weekend is transferred by the "kind" arrangement. Moreover, being on duty and working overtime are not the same thing, and the treatment is of course very different. That's why people don't like compensatory leave. After all, everyone's job is different, and it's even more difficult to meet everyone's needs.
Indeed, because of the particularity of the work, some positions must be manned and need to be rotated to ensure the normal progress of the work. But there are also many netizens who complain that many times being on duty is purely formalism and is not necessary at all, and they don't understand why they have to arrange someone on duty. Is it to give triple wages? It doesn't seem like that, but what is it for?
Sometimes, over-emphasizing formalism can lead to perfunctory work and difficult to achieve the desired work effect. If employees don't even get rest and good treatment, productivity will definitely suffer. This is by no means what the bosses want to see. After a long time, the impression of the worker on the unit will become worse and worse, how can he still love his work?
Therefore, we should pay more attention to the practical meaning, and when it is time to rest, we should relax.
When it's time to work, get serious about it. This not only saves time, but also increases productivity. Let employees have more trust and expectations for the company, and I believe that everyone will be more brilliant in their respective positions and bring better benefits to the company.
The May Day holiday, for many people, is only equivalent to a day off, and as a result, some people are still on duty. In this way, for them, the May Day holiday is basically equivalent to not resuming, and it also leads to two weeks of exhaustion and half death, which is far less comfortable than a normal rest day.
Some netizens questioned this, believing that this arrangement is completely formalism, and is it really necessary to arrange for duty? Is it really so urgent that people must be on duty if they have to be on vacation?
Of course, for special units such as hospitals, it is common sense that being on duty is a must. But for schools and other units, is it really necessary to be on duty during the holidays?
Instead of making everyone work overtime and be physically and mentally exhausted, try to shorten the working hours and increase productivity.
Isn't it better to ensure the quality of work and make everyone's life more satisfying, and to improve their sense of well-being.
Formalism, in the final analysis, is a superficial effort that is sufficient, but in reality it is empty. It's like a person wearing an expensive designer coat, but the clothes and pants inside are tattered. This is also the case at work, where there are situations that could have been efficiently resolved online, and employees have to run to the office on the grounds of "sticking to their posts".
In this way, the real work results do not increase much, but a lot of time is wasted and physically and mentally exhausting. Even on statutory holidays, this situation will not change, and employees still have to bite the bullet to "be on duty", which is really bad. Behind this phenomenon, in fact, some leaders only pay attention to the superficial glamour and ignore the substance. They may think that if someone is on duty on holidays, it will look like the company is very dedicated. And once someone above does this, the people below will often follow suit, and over time, this kind of duty culture that emphasizes form over content has become the norm.
But is this really the right thing to do? Is it really effective? As ordinary employees, can we sometimes hear our voices at the top management?
Formalism, this issue seems to be raised every year, and every time it is said that it needs to be rectified and corrected. But whenever it really comes time to solve the problem, we can still see that formalism of one kind or another is prevalent. It's really confusing, and I wonder when this situation will be truly reversed and changed.
Year after year, although we always emphasize the need to improve and eliminate all kinds of bad influences of formalism, it can be seen that in fact not much has changed. Every time a specific problem is encountered, the old way of formalism is still the choice of many people. This phenomenon begs the question: when will we see substantial change?
