Why do we need to work overtime?

Working overtime is a common practice for software. Over the yearsProgramClerk, I didn't really hear that the company didn't work overtime. When I met a good employee from time to time and occasionally worked overtime, the difference was endless addition. Overtime is so evil and disgusting, but it is irresistible. It seems like a hacker suffering from syphilis-it's just a matter of time. What's the solution? Who told you to choose to be a programmer?CodeFor workers, please shrink your appointment. Don't escape, unless you don't want this job.

Why do we work overtime? This is a question raised by every programmer. In fact, many overtime work is due to the mismatch between the construction period and the task. There are too many virtual things in the special industry of software. Where is our design and construction? In the code, where is the code? What is in a person's head? It's your imagination and imagination.

The customer will never see the production process in the software implementation process, because the software does not have a visual and intuitive operation line as the production of abrasive tools and milk. Many of the Software creation lines exist in the brain of programmers, the only thing the customer can see is the plan document, Progress Report, and implementation process description. Looking at the outlines and text descriptions of these charts, the customer cannot imagine what you can deliver at the end of the construction period? Is what you do what he wants? Are you cutting corners in production? He doesn't want to look at the requirements analysis, software design, and system processes you have given him. He doesn't want to look at the code that you have pieced together with ABC. In such helplessness, if you establish a good degree of trust with the customer, it would be okay. If not, then of course he will only worry about it, because no one is willing to spend the ticket, buy a fake or defective product. What he can trust now is your credibility, the success stories that you boast.

Many of the projects I 've experienced have a fixed construction period of 3-4 months. The only one that has been a tax project for more than one year is the strong background of the boss. Otherwise, it is impossible. The more the customer pays, the more worried it is. It is afraid that his tickets will be lost in vain. If that is the case, it will be difficult for him to get off his head. Because the customer is not visible in the production process, coupled with the overall strength of the Creator, he will of course reduce the entire project cycle during the tender. In this way, he can reduce the amount of helpless waiting. The sooner he sees your output, the sooner he can identify the degree of software matching, and the faster he can point out the poor.

If the customer's scheduled construction period is reduced, the construction company will inevitably increase the labor cost, and the maximum profit your boss can gain will inevitably decrease. Bosses are the "bloodthirsty" of money, so they won't listen to you and invest more resources. He will pretend to be confused and tell you directly, "There is so much time, and there is no way to change the contract. If you cannot finish the task on time, it is not due to lack of time, but because of your ability and limited level. The final result is that project managers (or project owners) must adjust reasonable development plans to show their extraordinary performance.

In order to deliver jobs on time, the schedule in schedule is reduced, the number of jobs in each step is iterated and integrated, and the source of each task is still those. In the face of such a plan, you can see how 8 hours a day can be completed, and how 5 days a week can be used. Working overtime, the project manager was pushed out by the boss behind the scenes (I used to assume such a role). He began to use his own hypocritical remarks to confuse you, "boys, during this period of time, everyone worked hard and worked well. When the project was successful, it would be a good time for us. It was just a few years ago. What is this so bitter? Think about that year ..... ", Let's listen. Someone should have jumped up and slapped him. To put it bluntly, the project manager is telling you that you have settled on this class, just like a prostitute on the street. If you want it, you don't want it, the Lord is also coming. I paid for it and sold it. Can you choose another one?

Lu Xun said, "Time is like the water in the sponge, as long as you want to squeeze, there will always be", modern people, fabricated it as "time is like a woman's cleavage, as long as you squeeze, yes ". With these powerful comments, the bosses will certainly not let go, so that they will have creden。 to squeeze the remaining value of their employees. Work overtime, add for free, do a good job, I invite everyone to dinner, if not, roll up and leave.

Why do we need to work overtime? Because this class is for people. Are you a person? I am, that is, add it !!
