I felt great when I first saw the news! This brother knows how to kill people, so brave. By contrast, I am too weak. During this time, I worked overtime every day and refused to reply to the leader. I can only curse silently in my heart. Moreover, he dares to say what he has accumulated in his heart, and he has been leading for a long time, which is not something that ordinary people dare to do.
But many times, this kind of behavior will be called "early bird". You know, the gun is always aimed at the first bird. Most people come to work overtime and can only bear it silently. It's not that everyone doesn't want to resist, but under the current situation of the whole industry, overtime has become a normal state and overtime culture is prevalent. In the final analysis, it is a kind of value orientation, which proves that you can provide value to enterprises and create value. But I want to say that this view itself. No!
There are so many news reports about accidents after overtime that overtime still becomes the norm and develops into a "culture". There are several core reasons:
1 welfare
Enterprises are for the benefit, and employees are also for their own interests. Enterprises squeeze employees' time by working overtime, so that employees can create more benefits and value for the company and improve work efficiency. Employees' wages are paid by themselves. What is the most important thing for migrant workers? Of course, making money is the most important thing!
If you can get the corresponding reward by sacrificing your time, then even if you are resentful, most people will still feel worthwhile when they get the reward. There is also a misunderstanding that the more you work, the more you have the ability to get higher pay.
2. The pressure of employment competition is great.
Every year, many people are "fired", and every industry is increasingly involved. If you don't work hard, you are in danger of being fired. ), people who can't find a job are everywhere, so when you submit N resumes and finally join a company, you will definitely do well, strive for a regular job and strive to make achievements. At this time, you will never think about not working overtime.
Everyone wants to keep this job. After all, overtime seems to be more acceptable than unemployment.
3. The staffing of the enterprise is insufficient.
The essence of the serious overtime problem is that enterprises are "too many people and too many things", which may be because enterprises deliberately control the scale of personnel and save costs, or it may be because of the short-term labor shortage caused by temporary workers. But most of them are deliberately done by enterprises in order to create high efficiency at the lowest cost.
4. Life pressure
Many people have families. They have to adopt their parents to raise their children, and they also have to pay off their car loans and mortgages. This job is their life. Even if they are angry and tired, they dare not resign. If they work overtime until late at night, they can only go home and complain to their families. All kinds of pressures add up, even if they are "enslaved", they can only accept it helplessly.
5. External supervision and law enforcement are lax.
The law stipulates working hours very clearly, but in many places, there are still cases of non-compliance with the law and lax enforcement, which leads to the lack of fairness in the market and makes some business managers have wrong ideas, such as "why don't other companies work overtime for a long time?"
According to the current law, in labor dispute adjudication, the burden of proof for overtime in principle lies with the workers, and many units may evade it through overtime absence and overtime examination and approval system, which makes it difficult for workers to prove overtime. Compared with a large number of enterprises and illegal activities, the power of labor security supervision is relatively weak. When the illegal cost is low or even no, illegal behavior will become more common.
At work, we often work overtime "voluntarily". For example, business leaders require "voluntary registration", and managers use employees to find jobs, forming a herd effect. Therefore, "voluntary" has become a common situation of overtime work at present, and it cannot reflect the unequal state of labor relations between workers and employers.
At present, the overall employment situation is under great pressure, and employers have greater right to speak, while external administrative law enforcement and internal trade union organization supervision are relatively weak, even powerful departments can't manage it. What are we "shrimp"? We don't want to be laid off if we work overtime, and some are willing to work overtime.
When I worked in my last company, there were a lot of orders in the company for a while. It is common practice for everyone to work overtime at night to 1 1- 12. One night, I worked overtime until 12: 30, so I had the urge to resign. I put up with it and considered staying for another month. After all, it is troublesome to find a job.
A colleague resigned in a few days. Because it is a private enterprise, he went directly to the boss's office to talk. Anyway, when he resigned, he told his boss that it was too late to work overtime, and many people couldn't stand it. I hope to get off work early in the future. The boss said you were threatening me. I was really desperate when I heard the report from my colleagues.
I don't think my colleague is wrong. He made a pertinent suggestion, but in the eyes of leaders, it may be a challenge to their so-called "authority"! I still resigned from this dead-end enterprise. Although I still have to work overtime in my new job, the time is acceptable.
Looking around, how many companies don't have to work overtime? Maybe 1000 companies I can't find. At least I've been working for five or six years, and I haven't seen it. From white-collar workers to restaurant waiters, all walks of life have overtime, but I don't want to call it "culture." Instead, I think it is a bad habit. Don't put a layer of "packaging" on this bad habit.
