A sour New Year's greeting

I don't know if there are children's shoes who have stayed in Hong Kong-funded companies. In Hong Kong-funded companies, one of the corporate cultures inherited every year is that the start-up profit must be in place. Therefore, the company will distribute Liye on the first day of construction, which means Liliye (meaning smooth and smooth). Since there are too many people in our company, from the previous five yuan banknotes per person, which were derived into ten yuan in the company's supermarket shopping card, to the current consumption amount that is directly added to the meal card by twenty yuan. It sounds like the amount is getting more and more, but there is no real money in hand (I have to say that the company is really smart).

And the bosses (supervisors) who oppressed us have become the target of being "group attacked" at this moment. In the company, it is a conventional wisdom that as long as the assistant manager level and above need to distribute red envelopes, in addition to distributing red envelopes to their own teams, they will also be generous to colleagues from other departments. The amount of profit is generally not large (I have to mention that the red envelope culture in Guangdong is simply a clear stream in the country). There used to be five yuan, but now prices have risen, and the amount of red envelopes has doubled directly. Ten is standard, twenty is high, fifty is top, and one hundred is special. The average manager treats an average colleague with ten yuan. If you give twenty yuan, it is often a high-level person who has a lot of money and is not stupid. Fifty is rare. It seems that half of his family will give fifty. The default of one hundred is his own ( Direct subordinates are given 100).

In the past, one or two people would go together to give New Year's greetings to managers who are familiar with them or who usually have a job handover. One is that New Year's congratulations really add a festive atmosphere, and the other is to make a little money (this is purely entertainment). Whether it is to ask for profit or to give profit, it is always happy. If there is not much money, it is good to be happy. This kind of time usually lasts until the end of the Lantern Festival. I just don't know when this New Year's greeting ceremony has quietly changed. From the very beginning, I used congratulations and blessings in disguise as a way to ask for money. From the first three or five groups to now in groups, when I was very strong, I saw the thirty or forty people queuing up at the door of the manager's office. In the past, those who knew and did not know all gathered together, and some didn't even have time to say a word, just took the red envelope and left. The red envelopes prepared years ago have been distributed, and WeChat payment is also possible. This way, the New Year's team came several times a day, until the managers fled back to the dormitory to avoid the limelight. Managers who have suffered a lot have gone on vacation until the Lantern Festival to come back to work, which is a perfect miss.

What was originally a good wishing ceremony has been transformed into today's collective money-seeking activity. What we get is in the circle of friends, and what we can't get is sour grapes. What has changed us. Could the ten dollars you get for wandering around and speaking insincere words to people you don’t know will make the food taste better, or make the quality of life a qualitative leap? However, everyone has their own ideas and ways of living. As someone else, how can I experience the happiness of an extra ten yuan? !
