"Re" This book is a meaning book, it uses normal thinking to look at our usual morbid life, pointed out the problem, and give the prescription.

A "workaholic" reminds me of my past work experience.

My former company has a deep-rooted culture of overtime, I detest it, I have always thought that work can be done at work time to do, there is no need to have nothing to drag on two hours before work, and the former boss that overtime is a kind of attitude towards work, I think we worked overtime every night until 11 o'clock at 10 o ' clock. You young people, really is a generation inferior generation, then will treat overtime this matter Ober, gathers a big class the new staff (at that time I or the new staff) comes Shing, attempts to use this atmosphere to infect us.

But we people are probably thinking although the bottom of my heart is not agree with the boss's ideas and statements, clearly know that the boss is black-hearted, want to let us make 1000 yuan work but give 100 dollars wages, but we are afraid to say, in front of the boss's face nodded, after the meeting we all know what to do , you want me to work overtime I work overtime, clearly 4 hours can be completed work, we will spread the extension to 6 hours, the total amount of work, time extension, efficiency decline, this is the boss want results.

The boss also named in the Shing Conference on the company of a veteran staff, to our introspection, put forward to work crazy predecessors to learn, at the same time decorate a task, want us to record workaholic work time. Of course the boss will listen, so I really do it, every day after class, after dinner, after a bath, washed clothes, in the lobby side looked at the lights (the company dormitory is opposite the office building), while watching TV, pay attention to when the workaholic work, the results of a record for two days, Workaholics turn off the lights and go home at 11 o'clock.

I was silently thinking that if my boss had transferred me to the department where the workaholic was working, I would have resigned immediately.

Afterwards, I sent the workaholic's work time record to the boss, asked a colleague to have no hair, he smiled and said:

"Alex, you are silly to karma, the ghost first listens to the wild, the distance calls you to work overtime, also asks you to look at the person to work overtime, from oneself again does not work overtime, has to speak the word, you call from the day sits the department to add, I will add." 」

"Cut, silly to listen to him, the boss told you to work overtime, and told you to observe other people overtime, he did not work overtime, said to have a hair, if he worked overtime here every day, I will accompany him here plus." 」

After a while, a colleague who worked in the workaholic department was so tired of this mode of work that he resigned, and after another year, said, " The idiot who worked overtime first left, in another year, a core employee of the workaholic department left, and last year, I left, and by this year another workaholic employee quit, and now, with the exception of a workaholic relative, the others are new recruits.

For this, I can only say that the separation is normal.

The Book of the "Re" says:

Overtime can solve some problems, but they create more problems. First of all, this state of work cannot withstand the test of time. When the burnout of the profession comes, this method of work simply cannot keep the staff going.

Workaholics tend to be pointless. They spend a lot of time solving problems, they think they can make up for their lazy thinking by brute force, and the result is to make the work less efficient.

This "overtime" culture makes normal staff feel guilty, morale is low, and will thus be trapped into a "follow" state, everyone in the obligation to work overtime, regardless of whether there is productivity.

If you work only for work, you will lose your judgment. Your values and decisions are distorted. You don't have the ability to judge which jobs are worth doing, what to give up, and how to end up exhausted, and an exhausted person cannot make a wise decision.

Workaholic is not a hero. They are wasting time without the tide. The real hero has already figured out a way to fix everything and then go home.

Finally, the world would like employees to work overtime boss hurriedly correct the idea, would like the world's work crazy to find time to reflect on their own working methods, willing to work under the staff of the workers at an early time out of the abyss of misery, I would like to not become a workaholic.
