996 is just a false proposition, stop lying to yourself!
A while ago, Jack Ma published a topic about 996, and then Liu Qiangdong took advantage of the situation to say such a sentence, "It's not 996, it's not my brother's brother", and then the 996 work system set off a global workplace fever. At the climax of the discussion, many friends were puzzled. What is the problem of 996 that Alibaba Jingdong bosses are talking about?
In fact, I think this is a false proposition!
There was a time when, let alone the weekend I felt wasted, I even thought sleeping was a waste of time. This state belongs to the fun you find in your work, you know exactly what kind of goal you want to achieve, and you get constant positive motivation.
Most of the leeks are not arguing about the working hours of 996. Rather, they have neither purpose nor fun in work and life. This is like a straight male cancer who cannot handle his relationship with others normally, always thinking that everything is wrong because others think he is poor.
For example, at work, people who lack real learning ability and cannot achieve breakthroughs always think that their lack of competitiveness is because their education is too low. It wasn't until after they had completed a doctorate with all their strength that they still could not achieve a breakthrough, they suddenly realized that it was not because of their academic qualifications, but because they couldn't do it from the root!
If you record the time you work and what you do in a day, and analyze it, you will find that the effective working time of most people does not exceed two hours. I arrived at the office at 9:00 in the morning, and the first 30 minutes were used to relieve various emotions caused by traffic jams on the road or other reasons. If there is no morning meeting at 9:30, I will click to watch the news. Like the emperor, you will quickly browse the domestic and foreign news affairs, and make important instructions (post comments)! Coupled with the addition of some topic discussions in the paid and free group, this series of actions can last until 10:00 or even 10:30, and then start to consult the list of various work problems left over yesterday, ready to solve.
Suddenly, the front desk informs you that a courier has arrived! Then you excitedly ran to the front desk to retrieve your courier. Immediately followed by the unboxing experience, all kinds of fiddling, and then there will be colleagues watching and all kinds of heated discussions in the office. But you have nothing to do with work. When you toss until almost 11:00, your stomach will start to be hungry, because lunch at noon in the busy CBD area is like a war, so you must plan ahead. Whether you go down to find a restaurant, make an appointment, or order food online, you must be in advance, otherwise offline people generally cannot find a parking space, and online people will wait until the day lily is cold before they can receive food. So, your wave of sassy operations will continue until after lunch. Take a break after eating. Boys start playing games, watching the NBA, experiencing foosball, or virtual sports. The girls started watching dramas and gathered together to gossip. This cheerful atmosphere can last into the afternoon at work.
When everyone dragged the tired body and mind caused by excessive relaxation into the afternoon work. I suddenly realized that I should place an order and buy something - for example, someone who played the game at noon suddenly remembered the things around the game, or reflected on the mistakes in the game just now and needs to check the guide. People who just gossip or watch a drama, like a certain combination of the heroine, or receive some kind of recommendation from a colleague, have to go online and check it carefully, whether to place an order immediately and buy one. If you are lucky, this wave of slapstick operations can be over within half an hour to an hour.
Because there is usually a meeting at 3:00 pm, or someone comes for an interview, or someone who has an appointment with a partner or client. Those technical positions that have no appointments may actually start working at 3:00 in the afternoon. 4:30~5:00 is afternoon tea time. After afternoon tea, it is time for a meeting. Then it was dinner time, and then another relaxation time. Then, because there are a lot of salacious operations during the day, many things have to be done overtime - mainly to leave a trace for the weekly newspaper.
Because you can't write optimization every day, or make appointments with customers every day, and promote a certain project every day, but no one knows what to optimize, which customers have been made appointments, how well the talks are going, and to what extent.
If a meeting is scheduled during overtime, and there are many people participating in the meeting, the meeting will be delayed in most cases. In a relaxed meeting environment, everyone spoke freely, mixed with various pornographic jokes in the middle. By the time the meeting was over, it was already quite late at night.
Everyone began to prepare to go home and take pictures of the office in the dead of night or the street under the street lights at the door. Then send it to the circle of friends, add a sentence or two of chicken soup of inspirational strugglers, and wait for the boss, colleagues, and even relatives and friends to like it. Come on!
When everyone drags their tired bodies back home, if you are alone, you will fall into deep self-blame and inexplicable panic (too many slapstick actions during the day).
If there are other people in the family, they may be in a state of indignation, cursing the injustice of this society, the cruelty of capitalists and the helplessness of strugglers. In the eyes of the family members who are extremely concerned and comforting, the inner uneasiness is gradually soothed. Slowly, I deceived myself enough to believe it!
