I saw a piece of news a while back:

 "I don't want to work hard" Chinese young people's fishing philosophy is popular https://disp.cc/b/163-d6Hd

Reminds me of something in Shanghai.

When I first arrived in Shanghai in 2017, it can be said that I had no understanding of the real post-80s-90-00 cultural content of the mainland, and I just went alone with a hopeful heart.

On the first day of work, everything was novel, and I was gearing up to make some achievements. Working in one of the top 500 companies in the world, I have no idea what that means. In Taiwan, I am not in charge of the world. I only focus on the global world of the industry I work in, and I still naively have my own interpretation of the pyramid of this industry.

I often hear about the "wolf nature", which is also a character mentioned by the management to me during my interview. After all, the top 500 companies are not random. I have a lot to study hard.

After sitting at my desk for a month, I'm still an air. My friend laughed at me: When will you do the project? Based on my past time management experience, I couldn’t help but get anxious. Seeing that the dead line was approaching step by step, I tried to get some information from my colleagues.

This month, I can't stand it for just one day. The whole department wipes nail polish, lays down on Ge You, browses Taobao, and browses Weibo. I feel so bored, so I go to a shopping mall, or take the subway to visit more shopping malls. . Go for a walk in the park after lunch, go to the convenience store to eat snacks and chat after going to the toilet in the afternoon, or watch the Legend of Zhen Huan in the workplace, collect gossip and become Conan.

My colleague said, "QWQ, what are you worried about?"

We should be ahead of the subordinates, start preparing to contact the supplier early, and then make good use of the time to make achievements beyond the basic value of the project!

"QWQ, are you the big boss? No. Then are you the management? No. Are you the unit leader? No. Are you the head of the department? No. Then what are you worried about? These people are not worried anymore. Let them figure out what projects to do first, and let’s talk about it!”

So, what if the sunroof is opened?

"Nothing to do, the people above will solve it, it's not our turn to bother us."

Colleagues, these super reasonable words, I realized after a long time. He continued to visit the circle of friends, while leaving the job assigned by the leader to the intern, telling the intern that this is a learning opportunity, you should think about how to do this 3D modeling, and draw a few pictures for me to see.

When I left, the leader of the unit said to me: You have to grab a colleague's job to do it so that you can express yourself.


When I'm so anxious to make my achievements self-affirming, (maybe I'm already on the verge of dying, trying to find a goal to wrap my neck around, hang on to it, and hang on to it, making myself feel like I'm not there yet When I died.) Just one month after I came to Shanghai, I moved to another company. Although the scale was smaller, I believe their goals were closer to my ideals.

Friends laugh at me: Are you also the air in the new company? When are you going to have a representative work? Otherwise no one will know about you.

Yes, I was in the air for another month at the new company. I wanted to comfort myself that I had a long time to adapt because of the newcomers, but the whole company was leisurely. After the last project ended, it was blank for another 3 months. I have been in Shanghai for more than half a year, and I have been in a daze. It was too difficult to adapt to, so I had to go to a fragrant pot with my friends every day to complain.

Let me talk about the office ecology that followed the trend.

According to my colleague's down-to-earth teaching, this is called "swinging water".

Because there is no punch-in system (the time of the punch-in machine based on fingerprints is not accurate, and no one will really check attendance), everyone has a tacit understanding and arrives at the office around 11:00 after 10:30. If you come too early, you will not be alone. know what to do. When you first arrived at the office, no one cares whether you have told the world that there are a lot of things to do today, and that is not the normal way to go to work. First of all, we need to turn on the computer, and then we can chat with colleagues, have breakfast or a small biscuits together, and check whether there is any new news on WeChat. After all, in this era, the three views are being refreshed every minute.

Well, it's almost 11:30, let's go and see what the cafeteria is eating today! After looking at the dishes, you can know whether to have a discussion meeting about ordering take-out, and what to have for lunch? Would you like some milk tea? Regardless of whether you are satisfied with the dishes today, I will send a photo to the group first to see if you guys have any ideas for takeout. Then let's smoke a cigarette outside the company! I'm exhausted today, as long as I come to work, I'm exhausted.

It's time to go to dinner at 12 o'clock, no matter if you eat in the cafeteria or order takeaway, anyway, everyone is talking about celebrities, new dramas, gossip, or complaining about work while eating. People with mobile games have no time to join the conversation, and operate their phones at the speed of light with both hands. It's boring after dinner, why don't you take a walk by the nearby river to see what the surrounding companies are doing, light a cigarette, and the wind is very comfortable.

13:30-14:00

Back to the office! Check to see if there is any email, if there is anything to do, if the supervisor has passed the task or called me in the group, I am not too nervous, and even a little bit looking forward to it, everyone is really boring.

My colleagues sometimes pull up chairs from another office and sit next to us, saying that I have slipped to the point where I have nothing to look at! The brother in the back is learning to edit the video of his weekend trip with his family. At the end of the film, he writes his name + the words of the studio, and so on, he will ask us little ghosts to watch the film and praise him. A brother next door bought a workbook to practice hard pen calligraphy and is writing. My colleague Sheng Wu Lian was lying on the table, while sending a WeChat voice saying which celebrity was outrageous. I finished reading 2 books, and there was a philosophy book on the table. I didn't really want to open it. Some colleagues watched the video too loudly, making it seem a bit noisy and unable to concentrate.

It's so boring, we will also order another fried chicken or milk tea to eat and drink, or go outside for a 10th cigarette.

The old ass in the office disappears in the morning, and everyone is used to it. They are the car class. They usually drive to a far place for lunch, and may sleep in the car in the afternoon. Never seen again.

So stay up to 18:00, you can finally get off work. If there is a dinner party in the evening, I may leave at 17:30.

This is my new life.

The reason is the same. The leaders above have not decided on the project, so everyone has nothing to do, which is the best performance.

The strings that were stretched to the limit when working in Taiwan lost all external force in an instant. There must be a sense of despair, and I don't know where to put such suspense. At this point, life has become too empty, and I began to learn to buy happiness with money.

I am happy to eat Xiaoqinglong buffet with my colleagues after get off work, happy to eat hot pot, and happy to buy things on Taobao. But happiness is proportional to the numbers in Alipay. The day after the paycheck, we start the countdown to the next paycheck.


Later, I heard from other Taiwanese friends that in their companies (in various industries), they don't understand, what are these people doing every day? Nothing was done, it was all left to clean up.

I heard from my peers that my first company colleague, who just got promoted, kept the interns busy even if they didn't do anything. Management wanted to cut off his headcount, but couldn't do anything about it.

Just want to be a happy puppy.

Colleague said: I am as busy as a firewood!

From dumbfoundedness, anger, anxiety, and emotion, to seeing things that are pleasing to the eye and not surprising, it is a great practice.

But when you are busy, our department is really easy to use. All are excellent screws!

Although this is a helpless situation in the general environment (the company boss does not want to keep a group of people idling), after I saw it, I suddenly lost all the reasons for survival. If I see it and become empty, how can I live? The days of paddling passed day by day, and there was not much of the Monday melancholy. Instead, I was melancholy every day. Later, I fell ill and found that when I opened my eyes, I just wanted to cry, but when I closed my eyes, tears would flow.

Ah, I don't want to try any more.

I haven't been trying for a long time.

I looked at everyone else and felt so far away. I am still working hard, hoping that I can be accepted as well, and become a person who is admirable without effort in the eyes of others.


 The article "I don't want to work hard" is popular among Chinese young people. The article also mentioned that these people who work casually, show enthusiasm in other places, I want to have the opportunity, and also write down the various concentration and interests I have tried.
