How to completely solve the problem of overtime culture, give you the ultimate solution of 996ICU.
[phenomenon]
In China mainland programmer community, the popular topic of recent is the 996 ICU, and we will talk about this topic today..
First of all, let’s take a brief look at the incident itself. 996 means working six days a week, from 9:00 a.m. to 9 p.m. ICU stands for Intensive Care Unit. The direct meaning is to work 12 hours a day, six days a week, and take a break only after you get sick to be sent inside the ICU.
[Industry characteristics]
Programmers don’t want to wait for it. As a programmer, my experience is that if you want to solve a problem, you will always come from the heart, and want to complete this part of the work once you got the idea, if you leave it there, I cannot help think about it. That will be more tired, so I often work in the early hours of the morning, I believe that many programmers share the same feeling.
So the question is, since the programmer’s development work has such characteristics, why do you complain about overtime work, and work time is long. Yeah, that’s very simple, the reason we complain is that the workload does not match the reward, for example, the job, when I signed the contract, it wrote 30,000 a month and 40 hours a week. The actual situation is that I work 80 hours a week, and the salary will still give you 30,000. Anyone will have opinions.
[About job hopping]
A common question is: Since you are not satisfied, why not resign? Regarding the issue of resignation, we look at several situations.
One situation is that there are many projects on hand, and if you dismiss the unsatisfactory job, you can still raise your family, for this case, of course you can easily resign.
In the second case, if the working years are short and the work experience is not sufficient, it is more painful to resign.
The third situation is that the working years are particularly long. In the mainland China’s humanistic environment, the old programmers will be considered that they are old and weak, and their energy cannot keep up with the high-intensity work requirements. Under such circumstances, they are more worried about the continuity of their work after resigning. Resignation in such circumstances is also painful.
If you subdivide, there are many different situations.
In short, people go to the heights, the water flows down, if there are better choices, and if they resign, they will not be entangled.
However, the occurrence of this incident just shows that the overtime culture in China has spread to a very serious extent.
In other words, if you find the next one after you quit, it is also the same overtime behavior that is mandatory or disguised. Isn’t it very depressing and helpless?
[Chips]
When the capitalists unscrupulously exploit the programmers, the individual’s struggle is powerless. Only by uniting and talking to the capitalists as a whole can be a hope for a better living environment and working environment.
[The way out]
Here I also want to talk about these overtime culture enterprises, the existence of overtime culture, indicating that the company has serious problems in project management and planning, such problems can not be solved by employees working overtime.
Quickly remove the management that caused this confusion, and put the programmers into the management system, and let the programmer become the master of the project.
Only in this way, we can solve the problem of 996ICU fundamentally.
