Because he saw clearly the work prospect in the next few years, whether he did it or not, it was just like that, and there was not much difference before and after. It is better to retire and relax.
Specifically reflected in:
First, the future of the workplace is at its peak, and there is no possibility of promotion. As the ancients said, you can know your destiny at fifty.
Especially in the workplace, when people reach the age of 50, most people can see their careers clearly, which is called knowing their destiny.
Because 50 years old is an important watershed in life, half of life, but rich in social experience and experience, but the future of the workplace and my energy, 80% of people are going downhill.
Reaching the top of the ceiling is the fate of many people in the workplace, and there is no room for promotion.
I'm not stupid. Seeing this clearly, many people have wisely chosen to take a step back and broaden their horizons. They don't want to work hard anymore, and they have lost the motivation to move forward. They just want to retire early. Why do they stay in their posts?
With this idea, how can people work with passion? !
Second, I have lost my vitality in my work, and I am very tired and uninterested. I am 50 years old and have worked for decades. Simple, mechanical, monotonous and repetitive work is also tired of doing it, and the work has lost its former glory and gravity, which makes people no longer interested.
Familiar environment, old face, unchanging work, day after day, year after year, like a stagnant pool, without ripples and waves, without freshness and vitality, so boring and suffocating.
I have no enthusiasm for this kind of work that is not challenging at first sight. Of course, I am eager to retire early.
Third, the work pressure is unbearable. I hope to get to the station early so that I can retire. When a person reaches the age of 50, if she is a woman, she will retire in only five years, so she can count the days by snapping her fingers. So are other manual workers (such as electricians and coal workers).
In this case, many people have worked hard for many years, perhaps because their physical strength is too high and they are supporting themselves with their teeth. Seeing that retirement is imminent, they can reach out and of course want to be early. This is also human nature.
If so, you can imagine what enthusiasm there is for work.
Because everyone has the idea that the boat will arrive at the dock and the car will arrive at the station.
Conclusion: I hope to retire early and live a carefree and free old age. This is everyone's beautiful yearning, which is understandable.
However, if you are in touch with reality, you must have a strong family economy. Otherwise, there is still a big difference between post and salary after retirement. Many people may really want to leave early or loathe to give up just thinking about it.
Therefore, we should adjust our mentality, stick to our posts, do a good job in the last few years, and be cautious in everything so as not to regret it in the future.
A few days ago, a state-owned enterprise made a backup recommendation, and several middle-aged people over 50 years old did not have names on the roster of reference personnel. At that time, I asked personnel why our names were not on the reference list. The personnel replied that young people are doing it now, and those over 50 are no longer included in the reserve.
After the age of 50, the company has abandoned it, not to mention "future", and even the qualifications for the competition have been cancelled. You said to make them enthusiastic, but we don't believe you when you kill them. What frightens them is mechanism, environment and discrimination. Chicken soup is going to be sprayed again. Who told you not to work hard when you are 50 years old? You shouldn't be on the list. Why don't ordinary people like chicken soup? How many people can fight back because of drinking chicken soup? Yes But can it become a common law?
First, enthusiasm depends on "desire" and has nothing to do with age. At the age of 50, I know my destiny and still maintain my enthusiasm for "career". This is "high spirits" and my enthusiasm is declining. This is a natural law.
Look at those rich and powerful people who are still changing blood at the age of 50 and want to live for another 500 years. That's because the hormone of desire keeps burning.
Ordinary people, ravaged by life for decades, have long wanted to unload their burdens and live for themselves for several years. What's wrong with mentality? Is it not the mentality of all sentient beings? Not satisfied? Give you a rich and powerful position, do you think you will be covered in chicken blood soon?
Second, this is the age discrimination of society, and we can't blame all sentient beings. In the domestic workplace, every company wants to "eat the sweetest middle part of sugarcane" by bullying the upper and deceiving the lower, refusing to recruit inexperienced and burdened old employees. You will say, this is a private enterprise, and people pursue the maximization of interests, but will it be better within the system?
Within the system, the division of age is even more cruel. At the age of 34, I can't mention minor subjects, and I am basically suppressed. At the age of 39, if you don't get a place pair place, your career space will be capped. 44 years old, career is over. Especially now, it is advocated to use the post-90 s and older people, and even the unit advises you not to toss around. Is it not good to be idle? Keep the treatment and make room for young people. You are also using your waste heat to make a contribution.
Even if you have enthusiasm, the unit will not let you have enthusiasm. Many units in the system began to retreat to the second line at the age of 45, and basically all the lines at the age of 50. When I was 50, I retired from the second line. Some units even left their offices and desks behind, so I asked you to go home and conduct salary research.
This is a common mentality in society. Not to mention high-paying internet and high-tech companies. At the age of 35, they face the risk of being "aged" and kicked out. What about other industries? Are they more popular as they get older? In addition to "experienced occupations" such as doctors and teachers, middle-aged and elderly technicians are becoming more and more popular with age, and all walks of life actually expect middle-aged and elderly people to make room for young people. This is a common phenomenon.
There are too many people in China, and young people are complaining bitterly. Middle-aged and elderly people have the ability to replace you at low cost. It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, and the front waves beat to death on the beach. Is the old man not working hard? That's not true. This is a serious imbalance between the supply of labor and talents, and the contradiction between supply exceeding demand is too prominent. Only middle-aged and elderly people can give up their jobs. Then, without the stimulation of "enterprising spirit", who can keep their enthusiasm?
Third, how do people over 50 adjust their mentality? The first is to automatically "sell" positions. For example, when people reach middle age, wealth is free, children and families are happy, and even children and grandchildren are added. They have worked hard all their lives and want to go home and enjoy their family. This is openness and active "retirement". This kind of person has been detached, adjusted his mentality early, and belongs to the happiest class of people.
The second is to passively "give up" the position. For example, units in the system retire to the second line at the age of 50, and transfer to logistics at the age of 50. This is a general mechanism applicable to this unit. Whoever reaches the "point" will step back and let the young people do it. Otherwise, young people will be crushed one by one.
The third is to passively "force out" positions. For example, enterprises outside the system, 50-year-old people in the workplace, basically belong to middle and high-level or business and technical backbone, and their annual salary is twice that of young people. The young people they trained will be able to replace them in a few years. Young people are obedient, motivated, low-paid and easy to use. As a manager, fools don't want to metabolize.
The fourth is the Buddha's treatment of all this. For example, many middle-aged people have experienced storms and setbacks, and have seen through the sadness of the world and the essence of right and wrong. Others have been cheated by superiors, cheated by friends, beaten by colleagues, and so on. In short, it is to see through the truth of the workplace, take the initiative to free you, maintain a Buddhist attitude towards work and interpersonal relationships, take things as they are and stop. There is no need to be enthusiastic.
The fifth is pessimism and disappointment. I struggled before I was 50 years old and wanted to do well. I didn't succeed because of my limited ability. I was a coolie, a clerk, a clerk. I completely gave up my pursuit. I'm just lazy. I hope I can retire early. There are still some people who are capable, but the opportunities are not good. They missed a promotion, failed to catch up step by step, were disheartened and gave up on themselves. There are still some people who are capable, but they are excluded and suppressed. People who avoid relationships and give gifts climb to the top of their heads. They are not convinced, even more uncomfortable, and simply retire early. Wait a minute.
In short, forty is not confusing, and fifty knows the destiny. Now that you know your destiny, you should know what you need. Wealth is free, and it is commendable to voluntarily choose to give up "work enthusiasm" and make room for young people. I didn't realize the freedom of wealth, but I worked hard all my life and I was tired. There's no harm in taking a break. It is also worthy of respect to see through the apathy of the world and extricate yourself without causing trouble to society. It is even more admirable to continue to maintain the passion for struggle and rejuvenate the second spring.
Finally, I advise you that the second half of life has just begun when people are over 50. No matter how you look at this objective fact, you should keep normal and calm, and have an open mind to win my money and transport my life. Physical and mental health is a major event. It is said that "fifty people know the destiny". Man is not a machine. Working for almost 30 years, no matter how enthusiastic you are when you are young, you will be ravaged by day-to-day work and monotonous life. Moreover, after working hard for so many years, what's wrong with the mentality of living for yourself for a few more years after retirement?
First, the body needs maintenance. By the age of 50, physical condition has begun to decline, and various functional indicators of the human body have also begun to decline. It is no longer possible to squander as young people did in their prime. After retirement, you don't have to force yourself to compete with those young people who push the waves behind the Yangtze River, and you don't have to add a little pain to your already bad health.
After 50, it is more important to take care of your health than how much money you earn. When you reach middle age, you are the pillar of your family, and your health is more important than anything else.
Second, families need more support, and it is difficult to balance work and life. Just like acrobats walking a tightrope, we can only find that balance point between the two sides and try to balance it. But we can never achieve a perfect balance. If you go all out at work, you will inevitably ignore your family and life.
After the age of 50, the demand for us from work began to decline, while the demand for us from life increased.
At the age of 50, parents have reached the age of 7 or 80, and their health is getting worse every day, and they need their children to accompany them at any time. On the other hand, their children may have graduated from college and will talk about marriage in the near future. It is the duty and responsibility of middle-aged people to take care of the elderly and their children's working life. Of course, being needed by your family is also a way to show your own value.
Returning to family and life is the life state that most of us pursue after working and retiring, and this state will come when we are 50 years old. What's the problem?
Third, you need more free work. In the final analysis, it is the process of exchanging one's own labor for wages and benefits. For the sake of wages and benefits, I dare not change my mind when I am scolded by the leader. Even if you are wronged, you dare not resign easily and dare not jump ship at will. Being bound by work for so long, not to mention working for 50 years, even many people in the workplace who have only worked for 3 or 4 years have no enthusiasm for work.
We are not Ma Yun, nor Chu Shijian, and there is no big company to inherit. We're just ordinary people. After retirement, ordinary people just want to arrange their own lives freely, travel whenever they want, play cards whenever they want, and do business whenever they want, so that they can regain their hobbies that they didn't have time to continue before. This kind of retirement life is more free than the previous day-to-day work life.
Therefore, in combination with the above three reasons, I think it is normal for the subject to ask "I am 50 years old, have no enthusiasm for work and hope to retire", and my mentality is completely fine.
