"Good morning, hit the workers", "there is no difficult work, only the brave beat the workers".
The term "beating workers" has become popular online recently. After a meal, in WeChat chats, and even in facial expression battles, “workers” can be seen everywhere. Many people regard "beating workers" as a true portrayal of themselves, and "beating workers" has even become an entertainment carnival for Internet people when they face difficulties in the workplace and the burden of life.
Compared with "community animals", "struggle" and "007", which are squeezed, inferior, and resigned to mourning and powerlessness, "beating workers" seems a bit more "sober in the world" and "you and I are working people." The spirit of optimism can better describe the striving temperament of the struggler.
What do you think of the term "buying workers"? Today, we are chatting with Internet workers from different occupations about their careers.
Some people think that hitting a worker is a "tool man", and the results of their labor are not respected; some think that "working" means that they have no right to say "no", are forced to accept the guidance of an outsider, and dare not resist the leadership set by the leader. Heavy "KPI"; some people vomit while working and take pleasure in hard work as a necessary skill for workers; others feel that tiredness and struggle are the norm for workers, so they calmly accept working every day and go home in the middle of the night; some have already As a co-founder of the company, but working as a secretary + sales, in the end he is still a worker...
More importantly, these Internet workers still have obvious age anxiety, worrying that they will be filmed on the beach by the waves, and by the age of 35 they will not even have to fight.
Hijackers don’t know how to refuse, no matter how late they are
Yang Yang | Operated by a 28-year-old Internet user
This is my third job in Beijing in five years of working as a part-timer. The last one was a bit of a "stroke". This one makes me feel that I am a real "beijing drifter".
To me, "Beijing" has the bitterness of hitting workers, but it is an inspirational word. Judging from the generation of our elders, coming to Beijing is to "work". This term is a bit derogatory, but for our generation, it is a bit self-deprecating to work everywhere. But you have to believe that if you give, you will be rewarded.
I am a "beater" who doesn't know how to refuse. I am very obedient. I will do whatever the boss tells me. No matter how late it is, the task must be completed.
I am a user operator of an Internet company, and my daily job is to recruit student users. The boss has given a heavier KPI. It is common to work overtime until 11 o’clock. I don’t think it is because the KPI is high and the work requirements are unreasonable. It’s just that sometimes I think, "Why can’t I do it?" , Anxious to worry that the task will be cut if the task is not completed well.
I was really anxious before becoming a regular employee. The task at that time was to expand 60 users. This required cooperation with a school club. First of all, we had to find two core members of a club. On the last day of the task, I haven't found those two people. I was looking for them in the company desperately, adding QQ and calling contacts. I was still looking for no one in the company at 11pm. Finally found it, but it was too late and the KPI was not completed.
This means that I will probably fail to become a regular member, and I was very sad that night. When something goes wrong, I will choose to sleep and do it again when I wake up, but many times I can’t fall asleep, and I will be awakened immediately when I fall asleep. I try to calm myself down and try to find the next step in my work. How to do it.
When I wrote the regular evaluation, I was really sad. Fortunately, my team leader took good care of me. He told me that it was okay, so I could find someone later and I stayed smoothly.
Such pressure also improves my abilities and makes me feel at ease. I look forward to the successful completion of the project at the end of the year and the reward of an excellent team. Of course, this is all external, and I hope to be affirmed. As a worker, I haven't had this kind of enrichment for a long time, and it's time to affirm myself.
I know the 35-year-old curse of Internet professionals. In fact, I don't want to keep doing this job, and I don't want to keep working. I just want to save some savings by working part-time in the next two years, go to a second- and third-tier city, and open a bar. The bar doesn’t need to be big, it’s about 40 or 50 square meters. I invite some singers to sing. I can also play the guitar and sing. If I’m fine, I’ll make friends. I think it’s wonderful.
The boss has emotional freedom, we are just "tool people"
Circle circle | 33-year-old market leader of an Internet listed company
Why is it called "beating workers"? Have you ever beaten workers? A 996 social animal, even if it is beaten, will have to pay for lost work.
Okay, let's play a homophonic stalk. I have been working for 10 years, and I am still an ordinary person who dare not resign casually. In a non-head Internet company, I am a non-core employee doing non-core business. This summary is accurate and sad.
This is a 5% and 95% world. If you belong to 5%, you are participating or even deciding the direction of this world, but if you belong to 95%, you can only be a worker.
At work, there are many moments when I am reminded of "beating workers".
Some senior executives or old employees of our company have stocks, and the company regularly sends emails to remind you when the trading window is. To put it bluntly, the stocks can be realized. This email is sent to everyone, but I don't have any stocks, and I feel very worried every time I see the notification email.
As a marketer, we often need to participate in industry event dinners, but only the boss can serve the table, and our staff can only stand on the side hungry.
On another occasion, the boss invited us outside to discuss the plan. He went there in the afternoon. Afterwards, we were a bit unpleasant. We were criticized by the boss. It was 7 or 8 in the evening, and the boss said that he wanted to check the plan with the next project team, so he let us go. There was nothing to eat around. We did a day's work and went home hungry. Bosses have emotional freedom. We don't. We are just "tool men", and the results of labor are not respected. This is the biggest difference between bosses and workers.
Working in an Internet company, sadness and depression are the norm. A friend of mine in Ali said that if you have not reached P8 at the age of 35, you will be considered as insufficient growth and eliminated. It is not that we have age anxiety, but that the Internet industry is age-sensitive and unfriendly, especially to women.
We can only motivate ourselves: 80% of the pain in life comes from part-time work, but I know that if you don't work, 100% of the pain comes from lack of money, so between part-time work and no money, I choose to work. You may live ten years less if you work, and you won’t be able to live a day if you don’t work.
There are still two years left until I am 35. I will now pay attention to the way out and prepare with both hands. Many people do micro-businesses and sell insurance, which I don’t feel ashamed. I used to see this kind of carelessness and even rejection. Now I will pay attention to it, including opening an online shop and operating a small red book. I will think about what I will do if I change it and how to use my work experience in it. I will also study how others are successful. As long as it can bring income and growth is a good thing, for this, I can put down my body.
I wear a suit and run around the venue every day, I also want to have my own space
Tian Liang | 27 years old advertising agency AE
It was me that the beater said. The term "hitting workers" became popular because it was difficult to find a job this year and the pressure of competition was high. In fact, it also shows that white-collar workers are ordinary workers just like manual workers.
We are equivalent to running errands for the boss. We are busy all day long. The hardest part is us, but in the end it may be the boss who bought Rolls-Royce, and we also made a fraction of the boss's.
There are so many channels for major companies to connect with the media, so it is difficult for an advertising company to survive without the skill of housekeeping. The advertisers involved are particularly under pressure from competition.
I am an AE (Account Manager), I need to clarify the situation of various industries, expand resources and establish contacts, understand social, what kind of people I see, and have strong learning ability and professional knowledge, such as live broadcast The goods are very hot, and many customers want to enter. We must quickly understand this industry, give the customers what they want, and even find the customers to sign the order and then execute it.
We have quarterly KPIs, and everyone has worked hard to get customers. There are more than a dozen advertising companies waiting for a client now, and it is even more difficult to win a client. The client I am talking about was officially discussed from September last year to October this year. A colleague of mine heard that a potential customer had his birthday the next day, and the cake shops were closed that night. He knocked on more than a dozen cake shops one by one, and finally one made an exception and agreed to make a cake. My colleague used this cake to organize a simple birthday party for the client. The client was really moved and immediately signed the order.
As Party B, we are basically responsive. When encountering urgent or large projects, I often stay up all night. There are a few times when I finish changing the plan at three or four in the morning, and get up at seven the next day to send information to the client. Many chores have to be done. Once a customer needed some cardboard boxes, I rolled up my sleeves and took the lead in sticking the boxes as materials.
I wear a suit and run around in various conference venues and office buildings every day, but I often wonder when I can have a space of my own, even a small compartment. For me, the upcoming 30-year-old is a hurdle. I have struggled for several years in Beijing, but I feel that neither salary nor career has met expectations.
Standing at thirty, I am far from standing still. I am very busy every day, but the output is not satisfactory. Now I am a little confused and tired. I don't know if I should continue working in the advertising industry.
Pleasure in hardship is a necessary skill for a mature hitman
Xiaolu | 25-year-old Internet company venture capital project manager
Everyone is actually a worker, but the class is different, and the boss also works for his own life.
Every morning at about nine o'clock, I will post in my group of friends and colleagues, "Good morning hitting the workers, today is another day full of vitality", and I will also use the slogan "Working as a worker, working as a human being". Motivate each other to start a day of being "squeezed".
On the day when Li Jiaqi and Weiya broadcast live on October 20th, I squatted in the live room until about 1:30 in the morning and bought what I should buy, then washed my face, continued sitting in front of the computer, and finished the unfinished work. Before going to bed. At that moment, I felt that I was really hitting the worker himself, saving money while finishing the work to sleep.
Working in an Internet company is fast-paced and stressful, but I am learning every day. I didn't have any business experience or venture capital background before. I spent most of my time studying at the beginning, keeping up with my colleagues. Later, my boss would delegate many projects and activities to me.
During this period, I was really stressed. I cried several times. I really wanted to quit my job every minute. I remember that on the day of an event, I was the person in charge. I woke up at 6 in the morning and didn't eat breakfast. I braved the heavy rain and took the subway for more than an hour to the event venue to prepare breakfast for the guests. After everything was prepared, I was starving to death. At that time, I felt like a social animal or a slave.
But later, the boss said that I completed these activities very well, even better than he expected. I suddenly felt that the previous experiences were not so difficult.
Pleasure in hardship is a necessary skill for a mature hitman. There is a spit group among our colleagues. Sometimes the boss is in a meeting while everyone is typing and spitting out. Sometimes they laugh involuntarily, and then they have to go back immediately because the boss finds it is another scolding. Our colleagues are very united in private, and often make appointments to watch movies, eat, and sing on weekends to relieve stress.
Although growing, age anxiety is becoming more and more obvious. Yesterday at one o'clock in the morning, when I was writing the PPT, I was still thinking, where should I go when I reach 35?
According to my previous job hunting experience, the workplace is not friendly to women. There were interviews until the last round, because I had a boyfriend who passed me off, and there were also requests to get an order with a drink. I thought about two ways, to be a middle-level company in an Internet company, or to start a business. Because the market is constantly emerging with new demands, if there are good projects in the future, I might consider starting a business.
Just tired, comfort is reserved for the rich
Su Daxi | 25 years old Dachang UI design
I often ask myself "Are you tired?" Tired! Tired is right, because comfort is reserved for the rich. Since I joined this company, I have basically never left work at 10:30, and my normal routine is to work every day until I get home at 11 in the middle of the night.
The company will not ask you to work overtime, it will only tell you "what time do you want these things?" You just need to give them at the time, so they are all consciously working overtime.
But when I think about it, when I just graduated, I had a high spirits. At that time, I was doing graphic design and I was unwilling to do a lot of drawings that were not of a high standard.
After the "beating for workers" got angry, sometimes my work group would post "love is not all of life, but working is" emoticons. I mostly send it to my friends, and I will send a picture of "Good Morning Beating for Workers" in the morning. , When spitting out at work, they sent out a "Come on, hit workers" to encourage each other.
Now that the entire team has been busy for more than two months, the APP is finally going online. You think it is over, but it is actually another beginning. Iterative optimization will start soon, or a new project will start directly. My job is stuck between product and technology. What the product manager gives, I want to rush forward as much as possible to allow time for technology development.
This is the attitude that a professional should have, but I am afraid that the division of labor in small companies is not clear or the work collaboration is not good. The product manager and technology have a wealth of time, but the design is stuck in the middle, the time left is particularly short, and things need to be urgent .
My previous company didn't value design and didn't understand it. The current company is very good. For example, the product manager didn't expect it, but when I do design, I find that there is a logical unreasonable place to communicate with him through reverse analysis. Maybe he will accept my opinion.
But on the other hand, working in a big factory is very stressful, because the colleagues around me are particularly powerful and often feel that I am inferior to others.
Other colleagues from big factories have done independent projects. My last job was a graphic design in a small company. The content of the work belonged to the front and no attention to the later, just the intermediate links, such as telling me "what map is needed" , I will do it, every day is to change the map.
I changed my career to do UI design, which is equivalent to starting from scratch. After the leader took it through, I basically learned the logic by myself. The work experience, work experience and even work abilities of my colleagues and I are different. I feel anxious every day, which actually affects my work status.
But as long as one day in the workplace, there will be one day's anxiety, even if you start a company and become the boss, you will be the second party, and you will also be a worker. Unless one day I retire, I might get rid of it. If there is a cause, there will be an effect. You can only continuously improve your abilities and lay the foundation before retirement.
The only dissatisfaction is that because I am too busy now, I have no time to fall in love at all. Fortunately, my parents are not rushing, and they let me work hard.
Being in the "difficult and miscellaneous disease" group, laymen still have to teach me to do things
Ale | 28-year-old product manager of a listed financial company
I am quite indifferent to the emojis of workers, because I have already assumed that I am a worker who works in the city. Do "township boys" like ours in three-and-a-half small cities still need to collectively laugh at themselves?
Especially when you are in a large company, the happiness of the company has nothing to do with you. Once the company's performance is not good, you will be the first to feel it-because benefits or year-end bonuses are immediately scarce.
In addition, I am a product manager, everyone has heard such a sentence-everyone is a product manager. When anyone seems to be able to give you a bunch of ideas, and these are actually in your planning or in your mind, but you can’t do it due to various compliance requirements or other reasons, look at "the outsider guides the insider to do things", You can only laugh at yourself, "Everyone is a product manager."
Beating workers does not mean that you are not serious or not attentive to your work. The main reason is that you do not have the right to lead and choose, and you do not have the right to say "no". Sometimes you are even more afraid that you will not be needed.
I work in a listed financial company, and I do an internal-oriented system. Compared with the C-end product, the number of users is not particularly large, and the data and feedback are not particularly intuitive. The company is also sales-oriented. The business is offline. The online system is not the most important part. Customers will directly contact the business manager or financial planner if they have any problems. The demand for APP is not particularly high.
Putting aside the problems of large companies such as difficulty in collaboration and mutual wrangling, our group faces the entire business group and needs to connect with different business lines. This will cause a problem: we often plan, but the plan can never keep up with changes. With the plan made two months ago, when the product went online, the form of business promotion changed from A to B, and the company's business went first, so we were very passive.
At the same time, when it comes to financial business, compliance is always the first element, and the product department has almost no room to play. We will do whatever the transaction process is stipulated above. Over time, all the incurable diseases of the company have been pushed to our group. My current working status is "abnormal product manager".
The Internet gathers more emerging humans and emerging industries. When more and more people born in the 00s join the industry around me, even higher than my salary, the pressure will naturally arise.
I can't draw the prototype for the rest of my life. There are only a few product directors. In addition, the product manager itself is an emerging industry. There are almost no product managers over 40. What will happen to me after 35 years old, and how should I go up? In fact, the entire industry is still exploring.
It's been a long time since I had a time to completely relax. Even if it was a vacation, I would still think about work and home chores. The most relaxing time recently was when I had a delicious bowl of chicken during my honeymoon trip. Food healed the soul, away from work, and the prices there were so low that it was really empty at that moment.
I thought I was an entrepreneur, but I was actually just a worker
Ji Peng | 34-year-old early employee of an Internet company
Five years ago, an old friend called me and asked me to come to Beijing, saying that he had started a business and the company was going to be listed in the future and invited me to join. At that time, I was working in a second-tier city. I couldn't move after several years of work. When I got excited, I joined.
At that time, there were few people in the company, and everyone did not receive salary. It is estimated that it was to motivate a few of our friends who joined in the early days, and gave me a "co-founder" status and very few equity. At that time I felt that I had started a business.
After working for so many years, the company has not been listed, and the project has become a lot worse. More importantly, I feel that I am not an entrepreneur, but a workman.
I used to think that I was here to change the world. I was standing on stage to give a speech and bragging in front of young employees. Later, the fact was that I had to do PPT for the CEO every day, go out for business, and give the client tea and water. Company employees order takeaways, and I am responsible for even cleaning the office. In the beginning, I was put in charge of the market, but in fact I did everything, except that it was not me who made the decision.
When I went back to my hometown, my family asked me what business I do in Beijing and what I usually do. I said that sometimes I do PPT and I have to go out to run clients. They asked, aren’t you a secretary+sales? You still do this when you are a boss? I said I’m not a boss, I’m just a part-time worker.
The founder is very strong, and we so-called co-founders have a serious working mentality. After all, the company is not registered by you, the business model is not what you think of, the main capital is not provided by you, and you only have a small percentage of shares. You are starting your own business and working for others.
I used to remember that the part-time job was to carry the bedding and take the green-skin train to move bricks in big cities. Now I think that most people in big cities are working. Life is too fast now, especially young people in big cities. Everyone is like a screw, walking on a track set by others. This is the status quo of most people.
Before coming to Beijing, I worked for an Internet company for several years. I became a middle-level business post and bought a house in a small city in the south. I was planning to go back to my hometown. I was a civil servant in a small city. It was quite comfortable to go to work, drink tea, and eat seafood. At home, you are the boss yourself. Even if you go to work, everyone is local, and the pace of life is very slow, so you won’t feel so severely oppressed. After coming to Beijing, the society of acquaintances has become a society of strangers, the social stratification is more obvious, and there is not such a strong life atmosphere.
After so many years of drifting in Beijing, I was almost 35 years old in a blink of an eye, and I didn't start a business. When I returned to my hometown, I couldn't do a part-time job. The civil servants were restricted by age and only young people were recruited. More importantly, starting a business sounds like a halo. Family members feel that you have become a boss, you are a big business, and you will be the boss of a listed company in the future. Now when you go back to your hometown, you will always feel like you have retreated.
I also thought about quitting and looking for an Internet company to work properly, but a 35-year-old Internet person has no advantage in the Internet world of a big city. After the waves have taken you on the beach long ago.
