Chapter 17 Disaster Prevention Reserve
In the past, female white-collar workers had to drink a cup of coffee every morning to stay alive before going to work. Now, let alone coffee, she dare not even drink a sip of barley tea.
Even so, she still didn't feel sleepy, couldn't even yawn, and was even more energetic at night than during the day.
She tried every method she could think of, including hypnotic music, sleep-aiding live broadcasts, counting sheep, and none of them worked.
The female white-collar worker thought she was sick and went to all the famous hospitals, but every doctor said she was normal, without exception.
Even the psychiatrist couldn't find anything wrong with her. Now doctors call her every day, trying to figure out the cause of her illness, which makes her very annoyed.
Shen Yijin looked at the female white-collar worker's face with a strange expression: "Have you been very efficient at work recently, and have you been promoted?"
The female office worker nodded vigorously: "Yes, I couldn't sleep, so I got up to work and completed a lot of work beyond the quota. I was promoted because of this, and my boss also gave me a commendation and bonus."
"Host, since you have calculated this, you must be able to calculate the cause of my illness! Please tell me quickly, I really want to have a good sleep." The female white-collar worker started crying as she spoke. The promotion and salary increase did not make her happy. The long-term insomnia made her temper worse and worse, and the rhythm of her life was completely disrupted.
Who wants to work 24 hours a day? All the sleeping time is used for work. Which worker can stand it?
[Isn't it great that you don't have to sleep and your body is not in trouble? Why doesn’t such a good thing happen to me? I can work during the day and play games at home all night without feeling sleepy and I am still healthy. This is the life I have always dreamed of! 】
[It's so strange, I always feel that 24 hours in a day are not enough. I have to go to bed after work without even a few minutes of rest, otherwise I won't have the energy to go to work the next day. Now that we have eight more hours to do what we want, how can some people still be unhappy? 】
[I don't understand. Why do you have to work overtime and be like a slave for the company when you can do anything else during that time? What benefits did the company give you to make you work so hard for it! 】
[It’s so horrible that workers are PUA’d up like this by their bosses...hiss, I won’t become a purebred cow or horse like this in the future, right? It’s scary to think about it! 】
The female white-collar worker frowned as she looked at the barrage of comments and sighed helplessly.
"I don't want to work overtime, but at night, many people are resting, and online games can't get enough people, and it's easy to see a bunch of weird people. Single-player games are boring, and I don't want to play them. And at night, it's very quiet everywhere. If you make a little noise, you'll easily be reported for disturbing the public. There's nothing I can do, working is the quietest place."
If possible, who would want to work 24 hours a day? Even if you earn a lot of money, it will be useless if you can't enjoy it.
Moreover, there is no overtime pay for overtime work. It’s fine to work overtime if you have to, but there is no need to use your sleeping time to work.
Shen Yijin tapped the table slowly with her fingers: "Have you never doubted the company?"
The female white-collar worker was confused: "You said the company made me do this? But I'm not the best person in the company, and the value I can create is not as good as others. If it was really the company that did it, why did they target me? And I've been observing these days, and there's nothing wrong with the company."
At first, the female white-collar worker also suspected the company, but she did not find any evidence that anyone in the company had drugged her, and she was indeed not the best candidate, so she finally dispelled her doubts.
She is a mediocre person in the company. She can neither climb to the top of the company with an annual salary of one million nor be fired by the company's last-in-first-out system.
The female white-collar worker is quite satisfied with her current life and has no plans to change jobs.
But if her insomnia is really related to the company, then she must consider changing shifts.
If she doesn't run away from a company that exploits its employees like this, she will be in trouble for the rest of her life.
[The host's guess seems to make sense. The ultimate beneficiary of the female white-collar worker's insomnia is the company. Maybe it was really the company's fault. 】
[The company has to do background checks when recruiting people. Maybe they knew the female white-collar worker’s family situation and guessed that she couldn’t sleep and had to work, so they chose her? 】
[But what the female white-collar worker said is also right. There are so many employees in the company. If it is to maximize profits, it is entirely possible to let the more valuable employees lose sleep and work hard for the company. What big companies have the most is people. I think those senior workers would be more willing to give up all their rest time to work overtime. 】
[That's hard to say. High-level cattle and horses are often difficult to control. If you really want to make a plan, you have to use the middle and lower-level cattle and horses, especially the cheap labor force, which is very easy to use. 】
The female white-collar worker looked at the barrage and felt like she was stabbed hard.
She is the one who is easy to manipulate. She is too honest and is always forced to accept extra work. She dare not say no to her boss.
Big companies are never short of people, and she was afraid that if she said no today, she would be laid off tomorrow.
It is true that he has been completely controlled.
"So, is it really the company's fault?" After hearing what netizens said, the female white-collar worker was uncertain. According to the netizens' logic, the company was highly suspicious.
Shen Yijin hummed, dragging out the last syllable: "It has something to do with the company, but it's not accurate. The one who made you excited and unable to sleep all day was your previous direct leader."
"Ah?" The female office worker didn't understand. "No, what does he want? I couldn't sleep and worked all night. Now I've been promoted to his boss. What good is this for her?"
The female white-collar worker couldn't imagine that the person who kept her awake all night was her former boss.
She had never suspected anyone, including other colleagues in the group, the cleaners, or even the security guards, but she had never suspected her former leader.
Is the former leader so kind as to help his employees climb over his head in one fell swoop?
And what method did he use to make her mentally excited while keeping her body healthy, and even hide it from the hospital?
Shen Yijin smiled meaningfully: "There are many benefits! Don't you know what kind of personality the former leader has? He only cares about himself and won't consider others."
The female white-collar worker thought about it and realized that her former boss was the kind of person who would not do anything without a profit. It would definitely be good for him to let her get promoted, otherwise he would not do it.
"What are the benefits? I really can't think of it." The female white-collar worker racked her brains for a long time, but couldn't think of what benefits her promotion would bring to her former leader.
Although she often cursed her former boss behind his back before she was promoted, she did not retaliate after the promotion, and they had no private contact except for work matters.
I was impartial at work and never used any backdoors for my former boss.
Chen Yijin: "The timing is not right yet. That old fox is waiting for you to protect him from disaster!"
Prevent disaster?
The female office worker's eyes widened, this word just sounded wrong.
She asked hurriedly: "Host, can you tell me more details? Will my life be in danger?"
