"Working 996, sick ICU".
In March, a large-scale protest movement on the 996 overtime system silently poke the G spot of the moving brick community.
No matter how inhumane the system of "working at 9 o'clock, leaving work at 9 o'clock, 6 days a week" sounds, the company bosses will tell you firmly, don't grab this "a little bit" of overtime and never forget it, we still have glory and dreams .
Hehe, who wants to talk about dreams with you, my dream is not to go to work.
The dream of not going to work is too beautiful and too far away. For most office workers who move bricks, let alone not go to work, even the small dream of not working overtime is a bubble. The broken dream of
starts from the alarm sounding every morning. Whether it is the soothing and sweet Bandari or the light and melodious Hayao Miyazaki, as long as you set it as a wake-up ringtone, it instantly becomes harsh and heart-wrenching.
because it reminds you that today is a new day, customers, leaders, and colleagues have prepared new troubles for you. Maybe one morning, when you turn off the alarm clock and fall back to bed, you suddenly make the decision to resign. There can be 10,000 reasons for
, such as "996 brought me into the ICU"; such as "I am not in harmony with the company"; such as "working overtime until I have no target"; such as "home calling me back to raise pigs"; such as "the world is so Great, I want to check it out"...

The young people who just left today are indeed more free and easy than their parents.
The middle-aged man feels sour that he is a social animal who can't get rid of no matter how the leader scolds, while half-joking and half-seriously feeling the impetuousness of the young people.
But their free and easy also need a price. When the young people handed in their resignation letter, they also gave up the safety card in their hands, even though what awaits them is endless risks and unknowns.

The confusion at the crossroads
There is a saying on the Internet: The society’s expectations for young people are encouraged by young people- pushes them out to find work before they confirm their direction in life. When you understand what responsibility is, you must get married prematurely.
So confused this matter has almost become the universal state of young people.
Being busy at work may temporarily conceal the confusion in my life, so after resigning, questions such as who I am and where I am going are clearly set on the table and become an inevitable and must be resolved.

This is the third time Bob has resigned in a year and a half. Because he refused to go to the civil service examination, he was in a cold war with his father, and he did not tell his family about his resignation.
At this time, he stared at the job listing on the recruitment website in a daze. Next to the list are various pop-up windows, such as "creating the future together", "one step ahead", and "you are what you want". They are eye-catching and attractive, as if you just clicked in and got the key to success.
Some people say, "Life is to replace one kind of anxiety with another, and there is never an option once and for all." Compared with the anxiety of not being able to find a job, is more worrying about finding the career direction he wants to pursue. Brother
suggested that he first screen out the work he doesn't like and cannot do, gradually narrow the scope, and then choose from them. But he sifted around, and there were still too many "disturbing items" left.
People outside the building watch the night view of the lights, and people in the building see KPIs that can never be done. Most of the resumes submitted by
fell into disarray, and a few interviews were incomplete, slowly eroding Bob’s initial confidence into self-doubt. Those vacant positions are like the unfinished love of a single dog. People who like them do not appear, and those who appear do not like them.
At this point, the brother did not tell him what to do. As a student, I didn’t know that the multiple-choice questions when they grow up are much more difficult than the exams. They are all indefinite items and there are no standard answers. Most people have not found the way to match them 100% in their entire lives, but have tried and tried while making mistakes.
However, "make do" does not conform to Bob's values, time and time again will be equivalent to lengthening the deviated course a little bit, and finally getting farther and farther away from the original intention.
Bob is still waiting while struggling. Even if there is no improvement, he still believes that instead of forcing himself to do a do-it-yourself job, living in the chaotic view of "Although I am not particularly satisfied, I just come to work hard", it is better to figure out the future. .
He said to himself, don't be afraid, it is worth it.
The interval is a conversation with myself
The social animals are too busy and too busy to get along with themselves. When most of the time is filled with work, it seems busy and fulfilling, but once I lie down and close my eyes, there is only emptiness and exhaustion. In the days of
Internet company 996, Jeff passed a year and nine months. I have eaten more instant noodles than regular meals, and my belly grows wildly under the nurturing of stress and sedentary sitting.
One day, the tight string finally broke. Because of disagreements, Jeff had a gorgeous quarrel with the leader and submitted a letter of resignation the next day.
A few days ago, a young man collapsed during a retrograde investigation. He cried out about working overtime, stress and life difficulties. After
resigned, Jeff finally took a serious look at himself in the mirror: sunken eye sockets, bulging belly, dull eyes, black Yintang-as if this person is about to rot.
He decided not to look for a job and give himself a vacation. Get a fitness card, learn to cook, get up at 8 a.m. every day for a morning run, cook two meals at noon and night, stay for four hours to read a book, two hours in the gym in the evening, meditate before going to bed, and go to bed at ten thirty.
Two months later, Jeff's waist circumference has shrunk by 3 cm, his weight has dropped by 8 kg, and his cervical spondylosis has improved a lot. With more time left for himself, Jeff found that his focus had also turned from the outside to his heart.
He perceives the little changes in his body, repairs and reconstructs the spiritual world, and wakes up every day, feeling that he is a little better than yesterday. He is grateful to the self who gave him a vacation two months ago. Now, he feels that he is ready again from the inside to the outside, starting to look for a job unhurriedly and heading to the next stage of life.

Like Jeff, there are many people who resign as a recuperation period, and Fannie's interval is longer than Jeff's. She also traveled indifferently through office buildings and subways in Shenzhen, living a white-collar life that can be seen at a glance.
saw the news that Australia was opening a working holiday visa, she almost bought a set of real IELTS questions online, and finally got the visa. By the way, she would like to thank the new boss with worrisome business ability, who forced out more than half of the employees in the department and made the decision to resign and start easier.
Starting from the southernmost island of Tasmania in Australia, Fannie and his girlfriends drove clockwise around the coastline of Australia, doing odd jobs while playing, climbing, diving, walking through the woods, crossing the grass, sleeping in a tent, and cost 300 A journey of 40,000 kilometers was completed in multiple days. Fannie after resigning

"If I don't know what the future will be, it proves that my future is infinitely possible."
upholds the expectation that ignorance is surprise, and set off after taking a shot of the thigh. During the journey around Australia, Fannie went black for eight degrees, from a cute girl to a female man, but tried a lot of previous "impossibility" along the way.
The authenticity of life can come from hand-made burgers and sausages, sheep dung grains stepped on on the farm, tents that have slept in camping, crows that wake people up early in the morning... All these are more than words in front of a computer, in a bank card The numbers come with more temperature.
Fannie misses the moment of being in the wild and primitive landscape of Tuao, far away from the complex fetters and interpersonal relationships in this world, and honestly examining herself. After this interval, she also knew better what she expected of herself and what kind of person she wanted to be.

The young people in this society are always in a hurry. Busy with the college entrance examination and school, after graduation, he started to work and test editors non-stop. Immediately afterwards, buying a house and getting married must be on the agenda. One task after another, urges people to move forward, but also creates anxiety.
Young people who are trapped by insecurity will inevitably move forward with heavy burdens. Even if a promotion or salary increase brings short-term psychological satisfaction, they will soon be relieved by more responsibilities and pressure.
Of course, resignation is not a panacea, and the interval cannot make a person reborn. But at least, this period of time allows us to temporarily jump out of the rules of society, our own desires, and the scores drawn by others, and learn how to deal with ourselves, how to face our heart and future life frankly.
meets another possibility
Some people resign by pressing the pause button for themselves and earning a short rest and stay for themselves, while some people's resignation is to change channels, change channels, and meet new possibilities. The company of
designer Jenna is a start-up company. One person is used by two people, and rest is just a luxury. When she suffered from insomnia due to arrhythmia for more than a month until dawn, she finally resigned from her boss.
Jenna got better after her body improved. She pulled up her old classmates and opened a training studio, hoping to fulfill the dream of pretending to fly together. What
didn't expect was that, despite pulling down the old face and using the strength of breastfeeding to publicize, the only students attracted were two or three kittens. Jenna found out that she was too optimistic, had no careful plan, no understanding of the market, no pre-judgment of risks, no contacts and basic source of students. The tuition fee that
finally collected was completely separated by rent, utilities, and labor costs. The bills arrived on time every month, as dazzling as the high beams of the night train on the opposite side.

barely lasted for half a year, the studio closed. When the students were dismissed, the grounds were cleaned, and the last item was removed, Jenna was in a daze. Although it is known that 80% of entrepreneurs were shot dead on the beach, but who didn't take the chance of becoming that 20% on the road?
Jenna's dream shattered a bit quickly. Fortunately, she has been passionately chasing wealth and freedom, even if she goes back to work, she is still a female classmate with a story.
resigned to change the runway, Jenna chose to start a business, and her classmate Sam chose to change. A resume with zero experience and zero foundation did not help him realize his dream, so he didn't rush to find a job, but took an online course and started learning from scratch.

He used "Confusion is talent is not worthy of ideals" to beat himself up. Every day he starts to study lessons, take notes, and do practical exercises. He spends his spare time learning software and reading. has a determined goal and a direction to work hard, time has a place to go, waitThe days are not long.
After six months, the course was over. He took three full notes, learned more than a dozen new tools, and went to job search with confidence. He did more than ten pages of PPT analysis for each interview company. Formally joined a favorite company.
Sam's favorite actor Chun Xia said that I want to thank myself for rebelling today, because without rebellion, you will not take another road. You never know what the other road is, whether it is thorns or roses. When
met Sam last time, he said that he had gotten a full salary in advance, and his basic salary had changed from 8,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan. He was very satisfied with the current situation.

Many people say that their resignation is only due to impulse, but if they do it again, they will still make the same decision.
The torture of unsatisfactory work to people is so frequent and strong, so resignation has become our helpless and final rebellion, and it is also in the torrent of reality, and we are unwilling to compromise on the ideal. The choice of
after resignation varies from person to person, and there is no conclusion, but there is at least one truth: you have finally created an opportunity, you might as well take one step more, force yourself to think, practice, repeat the past and change the future. It is your choice. of.
Now that we bid farewell to the past, we must change something, otherwise, how can we be worthy of the bravery and loneliness that I had let go?
