This year's May Day holiday has changed from 3 days to 5 days, which is 2 days more than before, but for the extra two days, the Sunday of the previous weekend, which is the Sunday of this week, April 23, has to go to work for one day .
On May 6th after returning from May Day, which is the Saturday after returning, I also have to go to work, and the two weekends are fragmented. As a result, even though everyone is not far away from May Day, there are still few migrant workers who are happy.
However, there are always some companies that are "understanding". Yesterday, a piece of news quickly hit the trending searches, "The company has canceled all vacations."
A company in Xiamen, Fujian issued a notice of "cancellation of long holidays and make-up shifts". Starting this year, the statutory long holidays will cancel make-up shifts and make-up shifts will be changed to vacations. Overtime work is not encouraged.
The company's personnel also responded that there is indeed such a thing. All statutory holidays such as May 1st, Dragon Boat Festival, National Day, and Spring Festival will be cancelled. The owner of this company seems to know what his employees want...
In fact, my first reaction when I saw this news was that after the company canceled the day off, the May Day holiday would only be held for one day. In fact, it was not. The company’s May Day holiday is still there, but there will be no make-up shifts .
As soon as the news came out, the reactions of netizens were surprisingly unanimous. A simple summary is seven words: your company is my dream.
The employees of the company said that the group is already celebrating the Chinese New Year~
In fact, as soon as the May 1 holiday notice came out, there have been complaints on the Internet one after another. Previously, some media launched a vote on "Can it be accepted that May Day is only held for one day without a day off ?"
Among them, 56% of netizens voted that they could accept the time off, and 14% could not accept the time off. Most of the people who participated in the voting were post-90s.
More than half of the netizens said that they can accept no days off, just don't make up shifts.
It has to be admitted that the system of days off has been implemented since January 1, 2008 and has continued to this day, and the voice for canceling days off has never disappeared.
Whenever you mention "scheduled leave", you will definitely hear the complaints of Chinese migrant workers. Suggestions on canceling the days off have also been frequently searched on Weibo.
But this time, the experts and representatives are on the same front as everyone in canceling the holiday.
Zhao Wanping, a deputy to the National People's Congress , proposed to abolish the holiday system and let the Spring Festival statutory holiday last for 5 days, making up a 9-day holiday.
Wang Qiyan, director professor and doctoral supervisor of the Leisure Economics Research Center of Renmin University of China, also said: The government departments have weighed and considered the setting and adjustment of holidays.
On the one hand, too many holidays should not affect normal social development, and on the other hand, we hope to piece together longer holidays for everyone to travel or visit relatives and friends.
Wang Qiyan said: "But it also has its unreasonable features, that is, it may cause continuous work for more than 5 days before and after long holidays or small long holidays, which will be more difficult for laborers, so everyone may have some concerns about this. opinion ."
Wang Qiyan said that regarding the leave policy for future statutory holidays, especially long holidays and small long holidays, he suggested that relevant departments should conduct public opinion surveys and listen to everyone's opinions.
Especially listen to the opinions of some scholars and researchers before deciding how to arrange it.
He proposed that statutory holidays, as a kind of legislation, should be stable, and the time of holidays should be stable, and should not be adjusted frequently and changed every year.
