996 This thing has actually been around for at least 10 years. 996 in the game industry are actually commonplace, so much so that now say this thing even little will look at …… In fact, I probably wrote a joke in 14 or 15 years “Wednesday after school”, the original intention is to pay tribute to the great Baoding poet, the background is Tencent Hootsuite advocate Wednesday family day, we do not work overtime at night. At 6 o’clock, they get off work – but this measure does not make the workers particularly happy either.
We all know what industry feels like it’s going to end once it gets caught up in low-cost competition, but how can things in the world be that perfect? If a product – whatever, assuming that the producer can plunder a group of gnomes, fight to the death, do not pay wages, dry to death to replace one, reduce costs so that the commodity in the market price of 10% cheaper than other goods, then the business will certainly be a great success. So expect managers to self-fulfillment may not really make sense, who knows that the king’s way is innovation to form barriers, but the world Steve Jobs is not much.
Simply put, there is a part of human nature is not so high clean, two product quality is about the same, a 100, a 80, even though you know that 80 behind each product are buried behind a crying gnome’s soul, you will still be able to save 20 dollars and go to choose it. Of course maybe some people can think in the long run that the goblins will surely roar from hell – but so what? How many years from now? Besides, the sky is falling together to fight it.
Specifically to the game industry, is also the same, overtime slowly die, do not work overtime immediately the project is disbanded, simply to avoid overtime may not be effective. There is a group of people living outside the company to compete, how to compare? Wednesday family day” is very good, but in essence, others are in 996, you family, the natural competitiveness will decline, decline in resources, no resources will die –The most important thing is that the referees are not only the best, but also the best.
In fact, the biggest problem is that the referee is essentially absent, causing the whole competition to enter the state of everyone spelling blood stripes. Soccer games if the referee does not care, people may develop chainsaw fake legs.
The programmers are the laborers who still have the remaining power and ability to start a fight. They can scream not because they are delicate, but because they are the only ones who can scream now – in modern society, programmers with labor skills are essentially the equivalent of industrial workers before them, and they still have some bargaining power. The results of 996 have also been seen for a long time, and Foxconn’s continuous jump was one of the results. Similarly, the suffering of all workers in the low-welfare competition – including those whose limbs were sawed off by lathes and whose souls died suddenly from continuous overtime work – is costly, but the cost is subtly changing the times and we are now unaware of it. Previously I forwarded a reply, which has a sentence I deeply agree with, “If we are still walking the same road that others walked a hundred years ago, then we are bound to encounter the problems that others encountered a hundred years ago. “
Let’s start with a tribute to the poets of Baoding.
After School Wednesday.
Watch it! You fucking watch it! ” Lao Zhang said to Lao Wang.
“It’s over, to Kevin’s side! ” Wang said.
“Gone, gone, gone! It’s safe. “Old Wang said.
“It’s safe. ” said the old king, “Fuckin’ scared the shit out of me! Just compiled halfway through and it’s over when they find out. “
Old Wang, 36 years old, Xie Ding, Tencent Tianmei studio group “Three Kingdoms War” back-end programmer, old comrade, slightly fat, joined Tencent 5 years, T4 employees, 62 hours of overtime this week.
Old Zhang lit a cigarette and looked at the code on the screen.
Wednesday, afternoon, 20:16, Tencent’s overtime relief supervision team just walked past the entrance of the district. This is the 11th overtime relief day for Tencent Hootsuite, and all employees of Hootsuite have to leave work at 18:00.
Old Zhang and Old Wang, along with Old Liu, sneaked into Old Wang’s rented house after work to continue developing the game.
With 17 days to go before the “Three Kingdoms War” package milestone, Lao Zhang, Lao Wang and Lao Liu knew the real time, just 7 days, and they would be done in 7 days, they squeezed 10 days out of the relief overtime day.
“7 days ahead of schedule, Wang, right? You have to work overtime, 7 days ahead of schedule. “
Lao Liu, 29, a game producer, watched WeChat.
“No one wants to work overtime, right, but the situation is such a situation, the resources are so much, the night line a day, the amount of promotion is a little less, right?
“The situation is such a situation, we left work on time, the game progress is delayed, other games first online, right? Who does not work overtime who suffers!
“Like that whoever’s group! Just take advantage of Wednesday night overtime, supposedly sneaking in steroids at 5:00 on Wednesday! Staying up all night!
“And whoever they are, grandsons! They were the ones who reported us last time, don’t think I don’t know!
“Don’t think I don’t know! ” Old Liu pointed toward the phone, “fuck, the circle of friends are sending traffic jams, sending dogs, holding children around, all fucking fake, all working overtime! “
“My nephew, school load reduction, teachers can earn High.
“Earn High, the school after school to drive people, parents did not leave work, students have no place to go, but only on the teacher’s tutorials, the teacher is not like that, half of the class, the rest are in the tutorials.
“Earn High, all after school, children can not lose at the starting line, right? You go to public school, is to have to test, while saying quality education, or college entrance exams, college entrance exams piano?
“Test vaulting? Do you want to play the kazoo?
“No test! “Old Liu waved the phone,” rich people do not take the college entrance exam! Rich people learn kazoo flute, not gaokao! The college entrance examination or test study, talking about the results, since talking about the results, then say anything else is useless!
“All useless! ” Old Liu waved his phone.
“Brother Liu is right. “
Old Wang said, “I also say two words, Liu is right, first.
“Second, the leadership is also for our own good, this we have to understand, we are not that kind of people, do not know gratitude, we are not people who do not know gratitude, this point should also be clear.
Third, I think overtime is still right, not overtime, the game can not come out, the game can not come out, there is no promotion resources, no promotion resources, the child can not engage in quality education, you say is not this reason? Things are related.
“Fourth, we do not work overtime, other groups work overtime, this problem is more serious, do not know that we feel that our level is poor, know that we feel that our attitude is poor, both are bad.
“Must report, not because we look at them bad, we are not that kind of people.
“We game practitioners are not that kind of people, but we talk about a fair competition, right? We can’t make trips to play dirty tricks, we want a fair competition, they report us, we also have to report, or we will suffer a loss.
“I am not unable to suffer a loss, but this loss to eat wrong.
“I also do not like to work overtime.
“Calves like to work overtime, but now than what? To put it bluntly, it is more than the workload, we are all at about the same level line, is not it? You do not work overtime, others work overtime, you are very passive.
“Passive, a person who is very passive, it is very sad, I am not trying to work overtime, calves want to work overtime.
“The leader is well-intentioned, this we should understand, the measures are also progressive.
“But while speaking with achievements, while not allowing overtime, this is very contradictory, is not it? Look at the problem to see the substance, then to the issue of overtime, what is the substance? It’s competition!
“It’s competition! We know that the demographic dividend period of mobile games has passed, the fourth quarter of 2015 new incoming users only 5.53% growth, we look at the data, the player growth rate has been dangerous, macroscopically!
“Microscopically, there is intense competition for internal resources, and resources are not unlimited, right? Whose game data is good, who can succeed, good data is related to the workload, overtime is only an appearance.
“It’s an appearance. It’s useless to ban appearances, right? It’s useless. It’s useless to ban appearances!
“I feel very painful ah.
The old king stood up excitedly, ripped off the black cloth covering the curtains, and the light was cast into the room!
The overtime relief supervision team that found the abnormalities looked over.
3 VPs, 2 secretaries, and 2 HR colleagues moved slowly toward Lao Wang’s rented room.
“Open the door! Old Chang! “
The door throbbed as if there were 100 zombies slamming the door in anger.
The compiler was still running.
