It is said that as long as you go to work, you will get the "class smell", and it is difficult to get rid of it.
"Banwei" not only exists in the workplace, but also penetrates the lifestyle of migrant workers in all aspects, from clothing choices to daily habits, and even personal words and deeds.
Self-test of class flavor osmotic concentration: ◍ There may be several sets of loose clothes to wear to work◍ Appearance loss, weight gain, hairline receding significantly◍ Skillfully use modal words such as "uh-huh", "good drop", "good dut", "okkk" and so on◍ Don't miss any fragmented time, read e-books on the way to work, and listen to podcasts while taking a shower◍ Whether it's on the bus, subway, high-speed rail or in the happiest place in the world, you can work at any time
01
What exactly is "Banwei"?
In fact, it refers to the unique fatigue of migrant workers, which has been smoothed out by time.
This tiredness builds up with the influx of work emails, then lurks in the dense meeting reminders on the calendar, and then takes heavy root in the contrast between the day-to-day change of scenery outside the window and the eternal contrast in the foreground of the table.
Gradually, a silent imprint is formed that is common to migrant workers - but it is not as simple as physical fatigue, it reflects a continuous and deep depression in the soul at a deeper level.
▷ "Life Cutting"
The philosopher Han Byung-chul proposed in his book "The Burnout Society" that the society of the 21st century is no longer a society of discipline, but a society of merit. The members of it are also no longer "domesticated subjects", but merit subjects. Discipline society is still dominated by negation, and its negativity creates madmen and criminals. Meritocratic societies, by contrast, produce depressed and misanthropic.
In a merit society, everyone is expected to be an individual who is constantly self-motivated and self-transcendent. This social structure not only promotes the great improvement of productivity, but also invisibly exacerbates the psychological pressure of individuals.
It is in this context that the concept of "class flavor" came into being, accurately capturing the complex emotions of modern workers mixed with exhaustion and helplessness in a slightly ironic tone, and becoming a playful expression to describe their physical and mental state.

How to get rid of "banwei"?
Becoming infected with the "smell of class" may be the common fate of migrant workers, but it is not inextricable. From a psychological point of view, we have selected 5 ways to alleviate work fatigue. If you find it useful, remember to share it with your career partners!
▷ "We Who Can't Be Beasts"
1. Fishing on time is a must
Touching fish in moderation is a reasonable and necessary behavior in itself. A study published in the Journal of Organizational Behavior by the University of Illinois in the United States showed that a short respite at work can effectively relieve work fatigue.
2. Achieve "psychological separation" after work
"Mental detachment" refers to the fact that when your body is done with a day's work, your mind needs to be out of work as well.
If you're doing a good job today, thinking about your work might make you happier. But if today is just an uneventful or even somewhat bad workday, it's still ...... Forget about it, because the easiest way to rest is to "don't-want".
3. Try the "Extended Weekend Method"
For example, take a shower after work to wash away the fatigue caused by work; Keep menial chores like washing in the middle of the week and avoid cutting the full time of the weekend. I start my weekend on Friday night, and as soon as I finish work, I devote myself to dinner and fun......
Not only will these methods give you a better rest, but they will also make your weekend feel longer and more fulfilling.
4. Remember that you're here to work, not to grow nodules
While pursuing career development, it is also necessary to prevent work stress from causing excessive damage to our mental health. Mental health is the factor that has the greatest impact on a person's daily life, but it is also the most overlooked and underestimated.
In order to maintain mental health, time can be invested appropriately in self-care. For example, doing some meditation practice on weekends and weekly appointments with a counselor can help reduce the distress of anxiety and depression.
