Tell you a few people a few short stories, which may make you understand a little bit.
First
The security guy at the company's door goes to work at 6:30 in the morning and leaves at 9 in the evening, with a monthly salary of 4,000 packs.
His task is very simple. During peak hours, he stands at the entrance of the park to check his health code and measure his body temperature. He sits in the security hall during normal hours and asks when someone comes, and plays with his mobile phone when no one comes.
This is all their work. It is not complicated in one sentence, and the salary is not high but it is easy.
I, a programmer in a first-tier city, go to work at nine in the morning. It doesn't matter if I am late, my job is to write and maintain code. There are three extra days of work per week, including food but not accommodation but accommodation subsidies. When working overtime, I leave at 9 o’clock in the evening, and if not working overtime, I leave at 6 o’clock.
Do you see something?
To get off work at nine o'clock is considered overtime for me, for the security brother, it is normal work, but no one will hear their voices.
Programmers have the right to speak in this era, and someone will listen to their words.
the second
The aunt at the breakfast shop near my home starts preparing at 4:30 every morning.
Then I was busy until nine o'clock in the morning and started to prepare the Chinese food takeaway in the store, and was busy until ten o'clock in the evening to go home and start the housework.
She also has a son who is in elementary school. When sitting at the door doing homework, she said that she wanted to be a programmer like me.
I ask him why?
He said relaxed.
I scared him that he had to work overtime at this job, and it was easy to be bald, not as easy as girls like.
He said, but it was easier than his mother's job.
Is it because they can't see these complaints?
No, because they saw that the reality they received was more cruel. For them, what 996, what baldness is really not the reason for them to refuse this job.
It's because the livelihood of their parents is harder than this.
The third
I just graduated from a salesperson that I would share with me. Within a month of doing it, I was crying on the sofa, a big man.
I remember this very clearly, because I drank with him all night, and the next day I did not ask for leave and did not go to work and was criticized by my boss.
He said that his performance this month, excluding living expenses, can't even pay his rent, and this is already the result of frugality.
He said that he runs at least ten clients a day, six ignores him, three rolls his eyes, and only one will talk to him.
He said that some companies are far away from subway stations, and the company's monthly travel subsidy is not enough to reimburse taxi rides, so he always rides a bicycle or runs.
He said that he worked overtime for such a month, but he didn't make any money, but he lost a few kilos of meat.
And I, wanting to complain to him about the awfulness of his career as a programmer, I thought about it all night, but I had nothing to say.
Overtime? He got up earlier than me and went to bed later than me.
Salary? My monthly salary for computers is more than twice his.
Body? Someone like this way of exercising?
By the way, I just said, the next day after drinking, I slept on the bed for a whole day——
But he still went to work, he was afraid he would lose his job.
So why would anyone want to be a programmer?
Because this world does not give everyone the right to choose, they can only choose the best within their own ability, even if the best is just the starting point for others.
Of course, who doesn't want to have a father who is a director and a high-ranking official, and directly becomes the boss after graduation.
But the reality is so, programmers are really fragrant.
