Congratulations on your graduation!
The workplace optimization issue continues to escalate.
Everyone is discussing how to cope with this anxiety in middle-aged careers, but in reality, this problem has no solution.
Middle-aged people have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. Their physical functions also decline with age, and their expenses are substantial, not to mention mortgage and car loan payments.
The root cause of the conflict lies with the enterprise.
Unlike previous workplace scandals where companies came forward to speak out, this incident is completely different.
Everyone remained silent, seemingly waiting for the storm to pass before things calmed down.
Only a fool would dare to commit a crime against the wind.
Guided by workplace optimization algorithms, emerging large and medium-sized companies are actually considering this aspect more often.
It has to be said that "The Way of the Corporate Slave" is very advanced in this regard, and the copywriting team has already shown players all the reasons for being laid off and optimized.
Common reasons for dismissal: "Did you have your own underlying logic when doing this job? Do you have a deeper understanding of this job and your own methodology? This position is not just about doing things well."
“We are very grateful for your contributions to the company over the years, but the company’s current development and future plans may limit your long-term development.”
"Your abilities deserve a better platform, and if you have other options, we sincerely wish you well. After unanimous discussion, and based on the fundamental principle of nurturing talent for the domestic game industry..."
"Congratulations on graduating from our company!"
The reasons sound plausible, but who doesn't know that if you can't even keep a company like this, how can you expect to make it better?
When hiring, they want to hire people with high stability, but when it comes to firing people, they fire the ones with the longest tenure. Isn't that a hellish joke?
People like Xiao Wei's father, Xiao Tianqi, who are more old-fashioned, tend to be more sentimental. Of course, this could also be due to Xiao Tianqi's brotherly affection.
The solutions discussed by netizens are all old news.
Some people say: To develop yourself, you can't rely on just one main job to make money. These days, people who only do one job simply can't support themselves or anyone else.
Some people say that to develop oneself, one must at least make oneself irreplaceable in the company. This is particularly evident in the programming industry. When you are young, you rely on your technical skills to develop, and when you get older, you mainly rely on connections and networks.
However, these solutions are all temporary fixes. The root cause of the current situation is still the same old saying: people are not people, but rather cogs in a machine.
However, some people with a penchant for making light of things joked indiscriminately: "Why not just find something on the boss? That's the most direct and feasible way. In today's society governed by law, if you're sensible enough not to use your knowledge of the boss's weaknesses to bully others, you can basically work for this company until retirement without having to put up with the boss's temper. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Workplace optimization is not limited to men's midlife anxiety.
Upon receiving feedback from viewers, Meng Feifei immediately launched a special episode: "Revealing What You Encounter as a Woman in the Workplace?"
"During the interview, if they ask if you have a boyfriend and you say yes, the interviewer will worry that you might get married soon and have children. If you do get pregnant, you'll have to take maternity leave, which would delay the company's operations."
"If you say you don't have a boyfriend, the interviewer will wonder, 'Why don't you have a boyfriend at your age? Is there something wrong with your personality? Are you unsociable? Or is there a physiological problem? Will hiring you cause other problems?'"
"Being married but childless carries a higher risk. If the interviewer knows this, your chances of passing will basically increase by 80%, and you usually won't even pass the first round of interviews."
“At this point, some women might feel that being married and having children is finally a good thing, but with the opening of the national two-child policy, this advantage is gradually weakening.”
“Especially for women who are not too old, they are always worried that you will have a second child.”
"Would things be better if I had a second child?"
"But at this point, employers will worry about another issue: you already have two children, so your focus will be more on your family and you won't be spending as much time on your work."
"Nowadays, many interviewers also believe that women are not as physically fit as men, are less able to work overtime, and are not as convenient to travel for business as men."
"The physiological differences between men and women are the biological reasons for workplace gender discrimination; the contradiction between companies' pursuit of profit maximization and the non-socialization of women's reproductive costs is the objective reason for workplace gender discrimination."
"It's important to understand that childbirth takes up almost two years of a working woman's time, which increases the labor costs for employers."
"Moreover, these two years are considered a downtime for employees. It's hard to say whether they can keep up with the company's work pace or return to their previous work level when they come back."
These are just the more obvious forms of discrimination in the workplace. What lies beneath the surface is a deeper, more subtle kind of discrimination that stings every female worker.
"There's one more thing the program didn't mention: the influence of social and cultural traditions is the foundation for workplace gender discrimination."
"Everyone seems to accept gender equality now, but in reality, women still exist as the other in the implicit social culture."
"For example, when people mention children, they definitely think of their mothers."
"And another thing, something that happened not long ago, has everyone already forgotten about it, the sexual harassment incident that happened during that drinking culture incident."
"In the current market and environment, it is acknowledged that women are more sensitive and empathetic than men, but compared to these qualities, bosses are definitely more willing to reduce labor costs."
These changes cannot be achieved overnight.
In addition to the government providing guidance through relevant policies, the media should also follow up. Finally, and most importantly, we must address the root cause of this kind of hidden discrimination at the societal level.
Whether it's middle-aged men facing job loss at 35 or women experiencing workplace discrimination, compared to the lengthy path to redress, netizens seem to only have one quick and efficient solution at this stage...
for example……
@Freelance Artist, Blogger! We're here!
First, I noticed that the blogger's profile picture was grayed out. Then I checked and found that the account information was still there, but the user had been deleted.
"What the hell? Our streetlight spokesperson is gone?? No way, artist, you can't leave! How am I supposed to live without you?"
“We’ve received so many more orders than he could have. Did he quit his job because of the immense work pressure?”
"I also think it's possible that we sacrificed too much and overloaded the blogger's CPU, so we decided not to make a fuss about it. Now, all we can do is look at these things and remember the person."
A group of people spread the word, one to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand, a thousand to ten thousand, and soon the whole internet knew that @FreeArtist had resigned.
What a wonderful person.
Why is she gone?
Without any explanation or reason, it simply disappeared into the vast internet.
"It's okay! Comrades, @FreeArtist is gone, but there will be thousands upon thousands of @FreeArtists."
"This may be why the blogger eventually chose to delete his account. He didn't want us to rely on him blindly, but rather to find, analyze, and solve problems ourselves."
"This is no longer an era of individual heroism, but an era of collectivism and the masses. Let us strive to change this world, mobilize the people, and plunge those damned streetlight ornaments into a vast ocean of war!"
In the section on "streetlights," someone immediately posted an analysis.
This brings the idealist speculation back to the perspective of materialism.
Therefore, it's not just bloggers like @FreeArtist who are analyzing the issue.
Some people are dealing with practical problems in production and operation, some are envisioning the socialization of future childbirth costs, and others are considering classifying and managing employees in a specialized manner to curb the current unhealthy trend of workplace optimization.
However, not everyone thought that way. Some people, whether due to biased opinions or bribery, said some unpleasant things.
For example, Zhixing Games, which remained completely silent throughout this incident, was attacked by trolls because various @FreeArtist groups used classical texts to analyze it.
"Do you really think Zhixing Games doesn't do this kind of thing? It's a startup now, mostly young people, so naturally they don't need to consider workplace optimization issues."
"But this is the gaming industry. I believe I don't need to give examples; those who work in the industry can understand its characteristics. In gaming companies, people are tied to projects. Once a project stops, there's a chance of being laid off. Unless your project becomes a hit, you can't have a long-term job. And sometimes, long-term projects don't even need that much development, so they'll all be laid off."
"It's been like this for many years."
"How could Zhixing Games be an exception?"
"In other words, if other companies do this, but Zhixing Games doesn't, then its costs will be much higher than others."
"It will be dragged down sooner or later."
The post was quickly seen by the @Free Artists faction, and an argument immediately broke out, especially among the players of Zhixing Games who were the most vocal in their criticism.
"Here I would like to quote Mr. Lu Xun: 'Just because it has always been this way, does that mean it is right?'"
"If we just blindly follow the general trend, then even if companies like this go bankrupt, it won't cause any loss to anyone."
"Don't comment if you don't understand Zhixing Games. Regardless of whether they will fire their employees, I saw their sincerity towards their game."
"With such sincerity towards their work, employees can never simply be replaceable cogs in a machine."
"This is different from your profit-driven value judgment."
The netizen who started the criticism of Zhixing Games was no pushover either: "They haven't even made a name for themselves yet, and they're already praising Zhixing Games like this."
"You say I'm exaggerating? Don't you see how high the employee benefits are at Zhixing Games? Their labor costs are already significantly higher than everyone else's. There's a theory that they'll be dragged down by their employees."
"Die-hard fans, please use your brains."
Zhixing Games is also a private company; how could it possibly remain "untainted by the mud"?
