I'm very introverted and afraid to work while sitting at my desk.
The "Survival Diary of Contemporary Working People" received a very enthusiastic response. Meng Feifei's paid-for trending topics on Weibo seemed unnecessary; she completely underestimated the show's influence.
Because the day after the first episode aired, related topics surged into the top three on Weibo. Not just ranked in the top three, but all three topics were related.
It even alarmed the central government's official media.
In this challenging job market, recruitment and interviewing are indeed very popular topics.
This reflects public sentiment and opinion, which is why state media got involved.
Meng Feifei had considered the possibility of official media getting involved, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly. She probably worked overtime, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to produce an article by the next morning.
However, being an official media outlet, their remarks were still very measured and did not cross any red lines.
It simply offered a critique of some of the negative phenomena in interviews, such as educational discrimination and salary undercutting from the interviewer's perspective, as well as issues from the job seeker's perspective...
Oh, they didn't dare write it either.
Wouldn't writing that make things worse? So I just briefly mentioned how to prepare for a good interview.
It can be considered a cautious probe within the safe zone.
It even specifically praised the innovative interview method of Zhixing Games, which was featured last in "The Survival Diary of Contemporary Working People".
Keeping up with the times may be a more suitable interview method for young people.
"The official media says nice things, warning against deception in interviews. But if you just search online or use a search engine to find this keyword, you'll find that all the blame is being placed on the job seekers."
"What you should avoid doing during an interview, and what to do if you lie to HR during an interview, etc."
"Don't companies use any deceptive tactics to mislead job seekers? Why don't they bear any responsibility?"
A short comment went viral, and instantly there were seventy or eighty comments below it.
Meng Feifei is also a master at riding the wave of trending topics, and she immediately forwarded this article from the official media.
Then, using some sophisticated copywriting, the author firmly stated the position of "The Survival Diary of Contemporary Working People," which is to expose the various aspects of the workplace and the living environment of young people today to the audience and netizens.
Netizens are harsh on official media, but relatively friendly towards the production team.
"When will you update? Why haven't you updated yet? It's been a whole night, even the donkeys in the production team don't rest like this."
"Grandma said that the show she follows hasn't been updated yet, and she asked me to ask her if she'll be able to see an update in her lifetime."
Comments urging for more updates, whether verbal or otherwise, are also considered friendly.
Strangely, no entrepreneurs were seen engaging in online team-building activities this time; they all maintained a remarkably unified silence.
Perhaps from their perspective, this is just a channel for venting emotions. It's just a temporary trend, and there's no need to take it too seriously.
If we try to keep quiet online at this time, we'll only provoke public outrage.
A profit-driven businessman will not do anything that has no cost-effectiveness.
Even without entrepreneurs, netizens can still entertain themselves by creating all sorts of funny comments in the comment section of "The Survival Diary of Contemporary Working People".
"She is very introverted and doesn't even dare to work while sitting at her desk."
"Just as introverted as the person upstairs, and hasn't done any work at all."
"As an introvert, I really want to change careers and go to the crematorium as a cremator. My boss wouldn't dare to approach me, my colleagues wouldn't dare to bother me, and clients wouldn't have any of those weird requests. This is my dream job. If anyone dares to talk to me, I'll open fire."
"When will you guys get promoted and get a raise if you're all so introverted? As for me, if the King of Hell wanted me to die in the middle of the night, I'd laugh myself to death. I'm going there right now, not for anything else, but just to leave a good impression on the boss!"
"You're a tough guy upstairs."
"I interviewed at a really mediocre company before, with average salary and company environment, and I didn't even pass the first round. They even wished me luck in finding something better. I just want to say, I couldn't even get into such a bad company like yours, and you expect me to find something better?"
"The person upstairs is probably just being used by HR to boost their KPIs, which is commonly known as cheating in an interview. They wasted your time to make up for their performance targets. What a joke."
This has also spawned some new and outrageous tropes... for example, the legendary light of righteousness...
"Teach everyone to send out resumes when they have nothing to do, slack off at work, and chat with HR on recruitment apps when they don't know what to do."
"Don't take your resume too seriously. Just make something that's passable. The main thing is to put on a bad show. The better the company, the more you should apply to. Don't waste the time and energy of those HR people."
"Transfer your anxiety to others, let them see just how bad a lousy worker really is, and stop being so condescending. These days, it's hard to find an excellent worker."
"Chatting on recruitment apps is even simpler; you don't even need to make a resume. On a certain job search platform, if an HR person contacts you, just say you're not working. They'll ask you, 'If you're not working, why are you browsing recruitment apps?'"
"Of course, it's to watch them work. How about that? Doesn't it instantly feel great? That's the right way to do it."
"The thing is, when doing these two things, you have to be very careful so that the boss doesn't actually see it."
"This is the legendary umbrella-holding spirit. As long as everyone holds up their own umbrella, no one will get wet in the rain. This is the great harmony of the new era!"
It's obvious that the netizen who wrote this long comment is a real talent. He didn't even say these words in the comments section of the "Diary of the Survival of Contemporary Working People" program, but on Douyin.
It was because the hype had built up that they managed to weather the storm.
This netizen has no fan base whatsoever; they became famous entirely because of their talent.
"Hahahaha, that's hilarious! You're a genius."
"Come on, everyone, say thank you with me, Resume Hero. With you and me holding up an umbrella for the world, this world will be a better place."
"That's right, we're all going to rot together. In today's environment, getting freebies from companies is the only way to go!"
In the company group chat of Zhixing Games, Zhuang Xu also saw these diverse comments forwarded by his colleagues.
Today is the weekend, so I don't have to go to work.
However, the company group chat remained lively because Zhixing Games' actual work-related messages were transmitted through office software.
WeChat chat groups used for communication typically have only one function: chatting.
It's like some working people specifically looking for a group to slack off in before starting work, and then becoming highly active in that group as soon as they get to work.
At first, everyone was a little hesitant about this, thinking that the boss must be monitoring them from behind, or that the general assistant—the boss's lackey—was silently keeping a blacklist.
But once you get used to it... it's actually quite enjoyable.
Yes, of course, Jiang Chuan is still not included here.
"Zhuang Xu is really good. If I had known, I would have signed up for the 'Survival Diary of Contemporary Working People' program back then. I was just afraid that a company would mind and not give me an offer."
"I think it's great that President Jiang is also supportive."
"What is there for Zhixing Games to be ashamed of? I can say that we are the industry's guiding light, okay? Everyone, please be moved to tears, my family!"
Everyone chatted away.
It gives people the feeling that this is the real, youthful work atmosphere.
As Zhuang Xu looked around, he recalled how he had been wandering around the basement of the Chuangzhi Yunjing Building, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
His role at Zhixing Games was executive planner.
To put it nicely, this position is an executive planner; to put it bluntly, it's the lowest level in the game, responsible for menial tasks.
During the game design and implementation process, even if problems arise, you cannot solve them on your own; you have to go back to the lead planner.
This position involves all sorts of odd jobs and tiring tasks, but because of the high-intensity contact with games, the basic design staff understand the content and production methods of games, making it one of the positions with the fastest growth rate.
However, in Zhixing Games.
Here, the execution planning is a job that is completely free from traditional stereotypes.
It's not about treating the execution planner as just a cog in the machine, only needed to be put in wherever necessary; rather, it's about treating this seemingly menial role as a human being.
It turns out that game development doesn't have to be so painful.
"Thank you for choosing our company."
Zhuang Xu then recalled the interview results and the voice of the interviewer… President Jiang. No, it should be that he was thanking Zhixing Games for choosing him.
He absolutely had to stay during this one-month trial period.
You absolutely must!
Zhuang Xu was brimming with energy and ready to lay the groundwork for the next week's preparations.
Then I saw the preliminary work plan table posted in the group by the chief planner, Yu Yuefa.
This isn't really overtime; I just got off work early and thought about it on my way home, then brought it out to discuss with everyone over the weekend.
The team's enthusiasm for work is currently very high.
Zhuang Xu clicked in with great enthusiasm. Then, completely bewildered, he exited and tried a different method to access the site again.
Is this real?
