Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 716 996 VS 888 (Part )

When Lao Ma found out that his letter caused an uproar and faced overwhelming abuse, he was not angry but confused.

Oh, no? I am having a mental breakdown. Is it illegal to run into a neighborhood with a knife and kill people? Or something?
Why are netizens this generation so malicious?
If we only look at these comments, we feel that if we don't commit suicide to apologize to the world, it will not be enough to appease the public anger. Is it that serious?

He even read the letter he had written earlier carefully over and over again.

“Success requires efforts that surpass others!”

“Youth is the best time to strive hard!”

“Do something valuable and meaningful!”

“Help my family improve their lives!”

The efforts that make you successful are called blessings!
What's wrong? What's wrong? Nothing wrong? !
The reason why he succeeded is that he has achieved it step by step, and now he is leading the way and working day and night. It’s okay if people don’t appreciate it, but there is no need to scold them so harshly.

Ma feels so innocent that he even feels a little aggrieved. Compared with those sweatshops and shady workshops, Alibaba is so much better.

Not as good as the best, but better than the worst, right? Why are they all targeting me?
At this moment, an open letter signed by the Bian'an Group on Zhiyan came into view.

Lao Ma's expression froze in an instant, and all his grievances turned into endless regret.

I wanted to slap myself in the face.

Let you find trouble when you have nothing to do! What a bullshit motivation!
You're just looking for trouble! Now that mad dog has got the chance!

I told you to look for trouble! You are done for now!

The title on the screen reflected his livid face, and Lao Ma was so angry that his back teeth were almost broken.

"Don't drink the 996 toxic chicken soup, if you have the ability: 888! ——Thoughts on work and life"

Dear students from the other side,

Just now, I saw a lot of discussions about "996" on the Internet, and some people even called it a "blessing".

Work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week!
If young people’s time and energy are drained away by work, how can they have the time to learn and improve themselves?
Where is the time to enjoy life and pursue dreams?
How can this be called a blessing? I am blessing it!

Fubao: If you want to cheat, you can use other words like PUA. I’ve provoked you.

Therefore, as the chairman of the Bian'an Group, I would like to have a good chat with you about my understanding of work, life and employee values.

1. Success does not mean sacrificing health and life
Everyone wants to be successful, but success should not be defined simply by wealth or position.

True success is to realize your self-worth while having a healthy body, a happy family and a fulfilling life.

Please remember: the other side encourages struggle, but does not encourage overdraft struggle!
Hard work does not mean endless overtime. Efficient work, clear decision-making and healthy teamwork are far more valuable than simply piling up working hours.

As far as I know, in some other companies, I won’t name them here, employees are required to work overtime every day without overtime pay, and they dare not speak out. This has led to a phenomenon.

When a task that can be completed in 8 hours is diluted to 12 hours, the work will automatically expand to fill the available time. In the long run, work efficiency will not only not improve, but will decrease.

Just as over-cultivated land will eventually become barren, the brain under continuous high pressure will enter a state of "pseudo-busyness": since you have to work overtime anyway, you simply develop the habit of slacking off during the day and working overtime at night, forming a vicious cycle.

This kind of thing is meaningless and unnecessary, and is deeply hated by the other side.

2. Complying with labor laws is the most basic respect for employees

At the other side, we do not advocate "996" and we will not glorify overtime work.

We strictly abide by the Labor Law. All overtime must be paid in full. We encourage everyone to arrange their time reasonably and avoid ineffective overtime.
3. Anti-involution and advocate efficient work culture
Many companies equate "overtime" with "struggle", whitewash "overload" as "hard work" and "pursuit of excellence", and beautify "unreasonable demands" as "embracing change."

But on the other side, we reject such distorted values.

We are against ineffective overtime: if the work can be completed within 8 hours, we will never drag it to 10 hours. The group prohibits compressing the construction period after evaluation. If there are not enough people, we will recruit people. If there are still not enough people, we will postpone the construction period. I think no one dares not to comply with what I have decided!

If so, tell me, everyone knows my email address!
Oppose formalism: do not hold meaningless meetings, do not write empty PPTs, and do not do repetitive and inefficient work;

Encourage efficient innovation: Real high-value output comes from clear strategy, reasonable division of labor and team wisdom, rather than simply "wasting time".

4. Only by caring for employees can we win the future
We are well aware that the core competitiveness of an enterprise lies in its talents, and the sustainable development of talents is inseparable from a healthy physical and mental state.

Therefore, Bi'an will continue to optimize the working model of the group's employees on the existing basis.

Mental health support, providing regular psychological counseling and stress management services;

Career development guarantee, no "35-year-old elimination", but to help each employee grow in the long term, etc.
We don’t want to be a company that burns out our employees. We want to be a company that enables our employees to grow together.

5. The real “blessing” is to make employees live better
Some people say that you should work hard when you are young, otherwise you will have no chance in the future. But I want to say: life is not a sprint, but a marathon. The "success" gained by overdrawing your health is often difficult to sustain.

On the other side, we hope to:

You can spend time with your family instead of coming home exhausted late at night;

You can maintain a healthy body instead of exchanging your youth for a shocking medical history when you are old;
You can find a sense of accomplishment in your work instead of being overwhelmed by anxiety.

The "blessing" that Bi'an pursues is not the false prosperity achieved by squeezing time, but to enable every employee to create long-term value in a healthy and happy environment.

As early as the Industrial Revolution, socialist pioneer Robert Owen proposed the idea of ​​the "888" work system - 8 hours of work, 8 hours of leisure, and 8 hours of rest. At that time, this visionary was ridiculed by the world as a dreamer.

Today, in the era of digital civilization, it is our responsibility to turn this century-old dream into reality.

Bi'an aspires to become a respected company, and this respect begins with sincere care for every employee.

In order to jointly protect our fair, just and warm family on the other side.

We have established a comprehensive and multi-dimensional feedback channel, and we expect every colleague to speak out bravely against any behavior that harms Bi'an.

Future business competition will not be a contest of overtime hours, but a competition of efficiency, innovation and sustainability.

I hope that every person on the other side of the ocean can find the value and meaning of work here.

Let us walk hand in hand, reject involution, enjoy work, love life, and reach the other shore together!
Finally, I have a sentence to share with you: "The world belongs to you and has nothing to do with others. Be your own master! Whether it is work or life~"

Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bi'an Group: Chen Mo
June 2016, 1"

"Chairman V587! The part about him criticizing 996 is my internet mouthpiece! I used to work in a large company like XX. I spent the whole day in useless meetings and could only work at night. When I left at 11pm, my boss would still say, 'You're leaving so early?'

When I first came to the other side, I found that I could actually get off work on time and go home for dinner. I was so moved that I almost burst into tears..."

"I have used my 10-day 'unhappy leave'! I broke up last week, so I took a leave to go to Erhai Lake to relax. My trade union classmates even asked me in private if I needed psychological counseling. I cried my eyes out. What kind of company is this? Don't worry, I didn't delay my work at all, and even exceeded my target!"

"When I first joined the company, I followed past practice and made a 20-page PPT. My boss replied: 'Just get to the point. It's done in 5 pages.' At that moment, I knew this company was different..."

"Boss Mo, 666, then let's work in the other side until we retire!"

"Without the Dean, the Chinese Internet would be in darkness forever!"

The intranet of the other side was boiling instantly, but the storm did not stop there - it was like a chain of mines, exploding one after another on major social platforms.

On the other side of Weibo, the two votes formed a sharp contrast:

“Do you support 888 or 996?”——99% of people choose 888.

"Is your current working system 888 or 996?" - 76.8% of people have no choice but to choose 996.

Job Forum.

"Hey, you can't help but accept it. As a company that has always been at the top of the corporate red list, I'm really not making trouble with you. Just based on this letter, those unscrupulous capitalists will never learn from it in their lifetime."

“I suggest that all bosses in the industry collectively copy Mr. Chen’s letter and reflect on what ‘entrepreneurship’ means!”

Even the authorities saw this and set up a special section called "996.icu" to disclose the chaos of the "996" work system in some companies. A large number of 996 workers flocked in and complained. In this section, the previous disputes were nothing compared to this.

Countless friendly competitors either cursed Chen Mo as a beast or cursed him to die in anger, but they could only watch and had no way to do anything about it.

After all, even someone as strong as Lao Ma couldn't get any advantage from this guy, let alone these small fry.

Public opinion completely turned to the other side, and the media rushed to report on it.

Taobao first lost the trust of users on New Year’s Day, and now it is caught up in the 996 storm, which has caused a surge in employee turnover.

Old Ma regretted his decision so much that he had to take two measures to remedy the situation: on the one hand, he relaxed the recruitment threshold, and on the other hand, he postponed the payment of year-end bonuses until Q2 of next year.

The next night, Ma, who was caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, was forced to respond to the controversy through a long Weibo post on Sina:
"Let's talk about 996 again: rational discussion is more important than conclusion! "

"My views on '996' within the company yesterday sparked heated discussions online, and there was a constant stream of criticism, just as I expected."

"I think what is lacking the most in this era is 'correct words', but truth and thought-provoking words. I would rather tell the truth and be scolded than say clichés to please others like someone else."

"Many friends advised me not to speak out anymore. There is no need to get involved in such 'incorrect' topics. It is not pleasing to others, it invites criticism, and it also shows the 'capitalist fangs'. If a dog bites you, no matter how you react, you are destroying your image.

But, even so, I still have something to say.”
