Feasibility of Anti-Exploitation Companies
"This is outrageous. Even monks who chant scriptures for decades cannot reach a state of detachment from desires, yet they can achieve it in just a few years in the real world. What is this called? Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. The only thing we can do at this stage is to stop producing cattle like me."
"The biggest difference between slaves and workers is that slaves need to be bought with money, while workers can buy themselves an iced Americano when they are tired at work."
"What does it mean to master math, physics, and chemistry so you can sell your knowledge to entrepreneurs? This is it."
The feedback from everyone regarding the "empty heart syndrome" among young people accurately reflects their own experiences. In short, the "empty heart syndrome" is not caused by individuals, but by an entire social group; it is a societal problem.
Too many people actually only live one day, but this day is repeated day after day throughout their entire lives.
The realities and difficulties are never limited to the so-called "empty heart syndrome among young people".
The following is a lengthy review of the program's content:
"Besides the low-desire young people mentioned in the program, I think the program planning overlooked a very important point, which is that work is encroaching on life, and excessively so."
"The ideal 9-to-5 job with weekends off means that work and life are clearly separated, and you don't have to worry about work after you get off work. But in reality, even if you really work 9-to-5 with weekends off, you still have to face the situation of being suddenly called back to work when you are fully resting."
"Unless they quit their jobs, the only time modern working people can experience what it means to be fully rested is when they are sleeping."
"Isn't this just the same old saying: 8 hours of work, 8 hours of overtime, and 8 hours of voluntary service to the company?"
Compared to the so-called "empty heart syndrome among young people," this comment clearly won the hearts of the masses, even garnering a flood of likes, trending on social media, and generating a huge amount of discussion.
This caused the entire episode's content to go astray.
Too busy, too busy.
In the prime of life, you don't have the money to pursue what you love. Even after finally becoming financially independent, you don't have the time or even friends to accompany you in pursuing what you love.
The emptiness in one's heart cannot be filled, and it is gradually eroded by the trivialities of life.
"So it's really necessary to slack off at work, and only when you're slacking off can you feel like you're taking a break."
"Let me, a seasoned laborer, teach you working people how to 'love' your job. Try to complete your work within 2-3 hours, and spend the rest of the time waiting for new tasks, instead of actively seeking them out."
"This period is a natural opportunity for you to slack off."
"If you don't know what to do while slacking off, you can refer to [Streetlight] for details, where many forum users can offer suggestions."
"Those with hobbies should pursue them, and those without hobbies should invest in finance."
We all have a bright future!
"Given that everyone's health is being ruined by working so hard, it's essential to ensure that you drink 8 glasses of water and go to the toilet 6 times a day. These amounts are all reasonable."
"The former only takes a few minutes to go to the tea room, so it adds up to at least 20 minutes of profit, and you can chat in the tea room or something."
"It's normal for the latter to squat in the toilet for 10 minutes at a time, right? Six times a day, 10 minutes each time, that's a huge bonus in an hour."
"Alternatively, you can download a Pomodoro timer app on your phone or computer. After each Pomodoro session, look at the green plants on your desktop to protect your eyes. It should take at least 3 minutes."
"The day ended easily."
"Go to the window and look at the scenery in the distance every two hours of work. Don't sit at your workstation all the time, it's bad for your back."
"Remember to fully charge your phone before leaving get off work, and never waste the free electricity provided by the company. Take extra paper and water with you when you leave, otherwise it would be too cruel to leave them alone at the company overnight."
"Try not to get angry with idiots in your daily work, and keep a relaxed and cheerful mood. You are here to fight against exploitation, not to get angry. When you encounter an idiot, just laugh it off."
"Once you master the art of slacking off, work will no longer be the majority of your life. Labor is honorable, but that doesn't mean slacking off is shameful."
"I hope everyone can start taking good care of their body and soul, just like I have."
Long live the workers!
Long live the workers!
Is my company exploiting me?
It doesn't matter. The devil is always one step ahead. We should just turn the tables and exploit him.
"The company is my home"—this phrase should be truly applied to our lives.
Wu Zhengyang couldn't accept this theory. He was a loyal viewer of "The Survival Diary of Contemporary Migrant Workers," but it was far from enough for him to agree with the core message of the show.
He simply believed that knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
Most of the company's employees are young people, so leaders naturally need to understand their thinking and behavior.
Well... after the latest discussion on youth emptiness syndrome ended, Wu Zhengyang found the comments section and the trending topics on Weibo somewhat unsettling.
Recently, business owners have been facing a lot of difficulties, such as policy control and employee awareness issues. Even the smallest things can cause employees to make a fuss about protecting their rights, which is already quite frustrating.
This time, he has finally found a point where he can gain a slight advantage in public opinion.
Don't workers always stand on the moral high ground to criticize their bosses? Now the tables have turned, and it's his turn.
If everyone slacked off like those in the trending comments, wouldn't all companies go bankrupt? How would the national economy grow? What would happen to employment if companies went bankrupt?
What about social stability?
One should not focus solely on immediate, petty gains.
"I think young people nowadays see work and life as too clearly separate, which is not something that can be completely separated."
"Work is a part of life and an important component of self-actualization and the sense of being needed."
"In actual company operations, there is no such thing as being able to completely abandon work after get off work. Because many things in this world are unpredictable, neither users nor clients will be understanding; they also have their own work to do."
"If overtime pay is paid normally, employees are obligated to complete their assigned tasks."
"I think that's beyond doubt."
"Young people should not blindly pursue an absolute 8-hour workday. Anything that is too absolute is not necessarily a good thing."
"Let's imagine what would happen if public resources like hospitals and fire stations were to operate on an absolute 8-hour workday."
"Of course, some people will argue that these public resources have certain unique characteristics and cannot be used as general examples."
"Then, for example... anchors, scenic spot staff, supermarket workers, media reporters, and so on, these are a large number of professions that cannot be fixed by the 8-hour workday."
"The job itself has a certain degree of flexibility."
"Don't just follow the crowd and be too resistant to working overtime."
"This is like taking a shortcut during your student years during the holidays. You have more work experience, resilience, and so on than others, which will make your resume stand out."
Without a doubt, as soon as Wu Zhengyang posted this reposted Weibo post, some netizens would point fingers and criticize him.
But Wu Zhengyang was already prepared. He was originally a science and engineering student, but he had a heart that yearned to use the humanities to help the world. So after graduating from university, he gloriously became a keyboard warrior.
One netizen commented unkindly, "Bullshit! This is clearly management's fault for not managing the workload properly. They're trying to do the work of three or four people. It would be a miracle if they didn't work overtime."
Wu Zhengyang: "Not necessarily. When a company is actually running, there is nothing that the management can fully understand. They are also a factor that goes with the flow in the market environment."
One netizen commented: "Is it possible that holidays are for rest, and not for some bullshit attempt to overtake on a curve? If you're so good at overtaking on curves, why don't you just go straight to your death? Wouldn't that save you decades of detours in life?"
Wu Zhengyang: "That's just how the social environment is. If you don't do it, someone else will. If you don't get involved, someone else will replace you. When your parents need you, but you don't have enough resources to support them, then you'll understand why I said working overtime today. It's a way to overtake others on a curve."
Netizen: "They talk a lot about benevolence and morality, but they make exploiting employees seem like a noble thing. Just because you give them overtime pay doesn't mean they have to work themselves to the bone for you. Saying things like that just shows that they are biased, that their bias is inherent."
Wu Zhengyang was not afraid and said bluntly: "Don't say those politically correct things. If you bend down and take a look at the actual situation, it won't be as simple as you say. Don't use a diode-like mindset to try to understand the workings of the world."
In short, Wu Zhengyang relies on these keyboard warriors who have never actually held the position of company CEO, and since the final interpretation power is in his hands, he has practical experience, which makes him seem somewhat invincible.
Since we can't win an argument with words, let's go find real-world examples.
Zhongxia is such a large company, there must be one that can serve as a moral benchmark, right?
When netizens get together, what can't they accomplish? Their united spirit makes one want to shout: Unity is strength.
Then?
Then, quite naturally, I found Zhixing Games.
It just so happens that Zhixing Games is listed on the newly opened function of the public information system—the list of outstanding enterprises. They then searched for suitable companies on the list and threw them in Wu Zhengyang's face.
This is a truly excellent list of companies.
Moreover, this excellence is for the workers, not for the society as a whole, based on how many jobs the company has created, how much investment it has brought in, or how much economic growth it has generated.
In terms of excellence, it is among the top companies in the industry.
Zhi Xing Games alone doesn't seem to reveal much, but with the nationwide hit of "The Way of the Corporate Slave" preceding it, it's really eye-catching.
Which working person hasn't played this game?
Then Wu Zhengyang was tagged in the official Weibo account of Zhixing Games, which is usually used to post game updates.
Then, under the latest Weibo post, netizens were frantically tagging Wu Zhengyang, urging him to come and see for himself.
"Strong people never say 'it should be this way.' Look at others, why can their bosses do it, but you can't? Shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"
This is called "an eye for an eye."
Keep going~
