Escape “996 ”, hold on “iron rice bowl ”, this year’s young people really don’t want to work for “desperately ”.
Xiao Lin walked out of the examination room at 5pm on November 29, 2020. Her standing outside the examination room and took a deep breath, and then in the heart silently say to yourself sentence: “to participate. ”
XiaoLin is one of 211 universities in guangzhou second year students, facing graduation she didn’t take an examination of civil service (hereinafter referred to as “male ”), but in recent years frequently see in the news reports on the 996 students, has been working for the company “things much less money ” fun, there are more and more around to legions of the male students. Xiao Lin suddenly feel that civil servant is also a good choice.
out of the examination room, Xiao Lin knew that he could not take the exam this year. But then around the provincial examination, she would go to try, strive for an early “ashore ” (refers to the civil servants is checked by the civil service exam, enter the system work).
According to official data from the National Civil Service Administration, 1.576,000 people passed the national civil Service examination in 2021, with an average competition rate of 61:1. In 2016, the figure was 1,394,600, with an average competition ratio of just 33:1.
In just four years, the exam has doubled in difficulty. Even so, wave after wave of young people are trying to squeeze into the system. Escape “996 ”, hold on “iron rice bowl ”, this year’s young people really don’t want to work for “desperately ”.
The bridge is more and more crowded
According to the employment report released by Peking University in 2019, 2,822 graduates who signed tripartite agreements with employers entered the system (generally referring to groups such as civil servants, employees of state-owned enterprises or family members of national management class who represent the state power or earn profits from state-owned assets). The proportion of graduates with jobs is over 75%. According to ipsos’ 2020 Overseas Study Trend Report, nearly half of the overseas students returned to China and worked in the system, of which 21% worked in state agencies/public institutions and 25% in state-owned enterprises.
Once “2 ” main battlefield of national civil service exam, students has become more and more “double top ” college graduates and the overseas students’ choice.
For this change, Xiao Lin has deep experience. Due to the importance attached to the stability within the system, many students around her took the public examination as the first choice of employment when they entered the university, and the graduate student Qi Qi was one of them.
Because of the influence of friends working in the system, Qi Qi is very excited about the stable working environment of civil servants. She also “about ” that wages within the system constantly improve in the recent years, the welfare is very good. “my main consideration is that if you want to be in 3 big cities such as rapid, efficient and robust root, take an examination of the male is the best choice for me. ”
According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the average annual salary of urban non-private workers in 2019 was 90,501 yuan, up 9.8 percent from the previous year, while the average annual salary of urban non-private workers was 53,604 yuan, up 8.1 percent from the previous year.
Outside the system even than in compensation system, however, who don’t want to say within the system “delicious ”?
The single-log bridge became more and more crowded.
Escape “996 ” of young people
“from the start work at nine o ‘clock in the morning, zero to go off work, continuous work 7 days every day. , “this is the interns worked as an intern in a state-owned design institute small week day. Three months after the end of the internship, xiao Zhou no longer want to experience this kind of overtime endless work, after weighing a head into the public army. “or life matters. , “Chou said.
About the earliest “996 ” is in the Internet giant “from 9 PM to 9 PM, work six days a week ” working system, but evolved to work overtime today has already become a kind of culture. Companies have launched the so-called gym, take a taxi after 9 PM CARES employee reimbursement, dinner reimbursement system, are virtually shape “996 ” culture of overtime.
Until today in development of “996 ” is not new, already “no ‘996’ life is not a complete life ” has become a working people daily speech.
But about “996 ” day fun already exists, and repeatedly boarded the microblogging hot search cause the public discussion. In April this year ma on ali internal communication activities mentioned “996 blessings ” is the unreasonable system of work overtime on the forefront.
“996 , ” is not only the Internet big factory, small and medium-sized enterprises of overtime is common.
In the middle of this year, xing Xing, who was about to graduate, found a new media operation internship in a chain restaurant. He thought the internship would be relatively easy, but he did not expect to have so many jobs as an intern. Overtime work is more common.
“why always think impassability leadership arrangement work in the evening, also want to understand why I have to overtime for the company. “star said.
In the eyes of the stars, a lot of overtime is futile. This kind of normalized overtime behavior will not only affect their mental health, unreasonable overtime is also a pathological behavior, not worth their efforts. Unacceptable invalid overtime stars also decided to take an examination of the male, “although the system is also not easy, but at least not too busy to lose self ”.
In addition to endless overtime, instability outside the system is also pushing young people inside.
In 2020, the epidemic has hit many businesses hard, and layoffs are no longer uncommon this spring.
Small dream in a real estate company to work, she saw a colleague was called into the personnel office, after coming out to pack up and leave. A few months, many colleagues have “resign ”. In such an environment, the small dream always is in a state of high tension, is full: “next not is me. ”
Xiao Meng was lucky that the young one stayed. As the outbreak abated and the company’s business recovered, the pressure to lay off workers disappeared for the time being. But xiao meng didn’t want to endure such a be swayed by considerations of gain and loss tension, so he decided to prepare for the exam while working.
Compared to private enterprises work overtime in the wind, 35, retreat “hidden rules ”, the problem such as workplace competition pressure, and improve the stability of the civil servants, not low salary welfare system risk in today’s society increasingly show its precious.
Squeeze into system, become each to escape “996 ” the best choice for young people.
Stability is not equal to no effort
“single boring work content, the eye to the future and insipid life ” this sentence was how many people are not willing to into the system of an excuse?
“world so big, I want to see. “was how many people dream of life again?
But for “outside world ” curiosity in life also bring more crit. Aside from work overtime, gleaming gender discrimination, job interview time to worry about after “fired ” have become the important considerations in the young people in the face of the employment choice.
“high accumulation fund, perfect welfare system, I don’t have to worry about pregnancy will affect my work, many enterprises are difficult to do these simple requirements, why don’t I choose civil servants? “groups said.
Women aren’t the only ones looking for stability. Men feel the same way.
Xiao Zhou has been preparing for the entrance exam near his hometown, hoping to get into the system and settle down with his girlfriend. He believed that a stable institutional life would allow him not only to care for his family, but also to have a life of his own.
Stability, it is young people fled “996 ”, but this does not mean really don’t want to work.
This year is the third year for grassroots civil servants. In the county, light every day in addition to the completion of the task assigned by the superior, also responsible for solving the problems raised by the masses. Even when not in the working hours, as long as the call received by the people immediately to solve. What “which have less money to work ah, still more tired of the grass-roots work, all by vigor in support. “light said with a smile.
Occasionally in the circle of friends can see the light to work late into the night to complain, but more, is that she gets a sense of achievement in sharing the work. “I like this job, because can really help to some people, it makes me feel very meaningful. “light with his present condition is satisfied with.
Inside and outside the system, it’s just a job. It’s just that if the job doesn’t make you feel worthwhile and is a threat to your health, then running away from it is the best option.
After all, escape is not the same as not trying, not to escape.
It’s not that young people don’t want to work any harder, it’s just that they don’t see work as the only way to find self-worth. The scent of spring, the heat of summer, the fallen leaves of autumn, the rain and snow of winter, life is only called life when we have time to appreciate it fully.
How can young people see the beauty of life in the endless work when the intense work consumes their enthusiasm for work day by day and their personal living space is constantly squeezed by work?
Young people don’t want to sit at their desks day in and day out with no time to see the stars outside. After all, besides the sixpence on the ground, the moon overhead was precious.
