There is a question often asked in the interview: What do you think about overtime?
We all know that IT industry overtime many, do not work overtime of the company Wind Phoenix Corner. Many companies have been working overtime, such as x, x meters ... There are many company bosses who think their company's performance is not good, is that their employees can not be like other companies to work overtime ... Cut, what logic is this!
Do you work overtime? Do you have overtime pay? This is a conversation between our programmers.
When you interview, the interviewer will usually ask you how to think about overtime, how can we answer?
What does my father think of overtime?
My father is so think of overtime: Anyway, there is no matter at home, say overtime to explain the company has business, have business to show the future of the company ...
This is the view of many people.
Work-lief Balance
What is a job?
What is Life?
In high school often heard a word called "experience life", such as a leader to the countryside experience life, a writer to prison experience life, such as students should be more experience life ... It seems that we are not living now, as if only a more bitter and miserable day is called life.
Middle school writing compositions, teachers sometimes such a batch: lack of life, no feeling.
We read novels, sometimes so: affectation, there is no basis for life.
So what is life, anyway?
In fact, we live every day, do not need to define for life alone, as long as you live, in life. There are millions of ways to live, more than 32-bit unsigned integers can express.
Is that job a life?
We have 24 hours a day, at least 8 hours for work. Let's say we can live 75 years, retire at 65, work at 25, and have a 40-year working life. Then the days of work are 13 years or more. If you sleep 8 hours a day, then sleep for 25 years. At the age of 3, 25 graduated from school with 22 years of schooling, minus the One-third sleep time of 22 and 15 years. Well, it's that simple: 75-25-15-13 = 22. That is, we have 22 in life, and then shaving as a child three years, too small, do not understand life, remaining 19 years. Old age will be a variety of pain, will die in the years there is no quality of life, than the dog, and then shaving 5 years, and 14 years left.
Wow, such a scratched, this life actually only lived for 14 years, really die.
Can you count this?
Let's consider, in turn, which part of the time can be classified as life time?
............................................................
...... Omit 500 words here, leave you to think about ...
............................................................
In fact, work is a major theme of life. Think that work is the opposite of life, most of the time because the work is not fun, or a lot of things outside of work have no time to deal with.
Classification of overtime
From a certain point of view, there are three types of overtime:
- Full of hope for overtime
- Desperate overtime.
- Habitual overtime
Full of hope for overtime
Sometimes a product, spend more time, early one day to market, fast people one step to make money countless, at this time the company will ask everyone to work overtime to catch up. You may be disgusted, but think tomorrow will be able to count the money hand cramps, the heart will not be particularly inconsistent. After all, one of the main purposes of work is to get paid. You will also think, and so on the product on-line is good, not so busy, the leader said so. In short you think this is the temporary nature of overtime, not institutional, busy over the past few hours. This kind of overtime in most people's view is not afraid, there is hope, there is motivation, for a hope to strive to fight, usually to their own irrigation magic potion.
Sometimes we believe in this hope, not a song called "Love Fight to win"? Backstreet Boys "Don't Give up hope" this song I also like to listen to. I do products in each company, all with my daughter-in-law said, this product is very promising, overtime is only temporary, the product is good, you see, I have been suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
Desperate overtime.
Products or projects already know to fail, or to give the customer an account, or let the customer know, we have done our best, is ours and die, rather than deliberately retreat fleeing panic. At this time we will also work overtime, we all know that, even if it is hard, and then put together for a period of time, the final result is no change. Originally, doomed to fail. But can not say not to say, or to work overtime, desperate to work overtime, not to the end of a sudden attack, but ... But what, depend on, can't remember ...
Habitual overtime
So, what is there to say ... When Love has become the past, you still retain the old lovers to accompany you to develop those habits. It is not easy to change the habit. Everything that happened here, I started my career in software development here, I started working hearted here, and I finally got into the habit of working overtime here. So, do not work overtime is really not used to, do not know what can be done, the heart did not grasp the decline and stability is not down, is not cheap?
Possible causes of overtime
There is no reason to work overtime ...
Because like, so pay
When you fall in love with someone, you don't compare her to love you less than you love her. Because love is to give, is to give, is to want the other good, but not the reciprocal exchange, not to grant people a drop of water to forget the spring newspaper, then and flesh trading wood have two, right.
Some people are very lucky, will like his work, to him, work is a kind of enjoyment, is a kind of happiness. Then this is a good thing to do, bring people enjoy the matter, naturally willing to do more, and then do some more ...
Win favor
The entertainment industry is more chaotic, many people rely on the career line to beat the upper. IT is relatively simple, and some programmers think it's natural to think of overtime. So, sometimes you see an ape having sex and having sex for a night and won't stop to take a break, in fact, just because the leader is in ...
Corporate culture
You're not so embarrassed, are you? Just like the officialdom can not tolerate the integrity of a truth.
Low productivity
Also some comrades, naturally difficult to concentrate attention, it is difficult to do things according to the right way, so dry up, the big guys think 5 hours will be able to fix things, he wants to engage 12 hours. We evaluate the workload and take the mean value ... The leader looked only at the duration and the result, so he had to work overtime ...
Changes in project requirements
What programmers hate most is not looking for bugs in the immediate search, but doing half the product managers suddenly say that demand has changed ... Wow, there are all the hearts of people who kill with knives.
Kill time
There are friends under the class can do nothing, back home is playing computer games to watch video, as in the unit mixed overtime, but also can have a meal supplement, take some what, it is really cost-effective ...
There's monsters at home.
There is a man, X hing, every day overtime, do not feel tired.
The good colleague asks him: "Ape, do you work overtime every day so?" ”
A monkey embarrassed to say: "Hey, Eva, a little more than a year old, every night to see what Garden baby, a bit can't bear ..."
I see! Wait for the ape to finish the class baby also after watching the garden babies sleep, just good.
Accompany Prince to study
Sometimes we work overtime, not for ourselves, for that she, or that he, male and female, female and other men, happy.
Of course, sometimes it may be male, you know ...
How to think about overtime
Our problem is still not able to go around ...
In fact, in the normal working hours to complete the work efficiently is the most worthy of praise.
The life we want is: do your favorite job, career success, and have their own time to rest, exercise, study, and family together.
So, learn how to work effectively.
