New stalks of the Internet are coming and going like tides. Surfing is a little slow and will get soaked. People have been asking dazedly: What does it mean to hit workers?
Memo packs and jokes followed one after another, like the term “beating workers” itself, straightforward, simple, and a bit familiar:
Even in Guangdong, a talent consulting company has really established a “work” in recent days. Everyone understands that the glamorous term “talent consulting” is nothing more than the phrase “work” in the Internet world.
All the stubbornness may quickly go away with the wind, but we work day after day at the work station, but we do not move like a mountain.
Remember that not long ago, success studies were rampant, and the “worker mentality” was still being ridiculed. What is changing?

The term “part-time job” originated from Hong Kong. It refers to being employed by people, taking people’s money, and doing work for people.
The synonym for part-time job is to search for food, “to eat with food.” Are you looking for meaning beyond survival? Please be realistic.
Corresponding to the spirit of Lion Rock: work more and make more money. Hong Kong’s comedy legend Huang Zihua once said in a performance that the spirit of Hong Kong is four jobs per capita. Under such a heavy pressure of life, everyone on the subway looks tired and yawns.
In the legends of Hong Kong people circulating in the streets, there are many stories of this kind. As one of the places with the highest Gini coefficient in the world, Hong Kong has a high population density and limited resources. It has already exhausted all efforts just to “mix food”.
In such an environment, part-time work is not derogatory, but the living conditions of most people. Hong Kong people living in the capital world seem to have understood the nature of work early.
Later, the word was introduced to the mainland, which seemed to be somewhat negative. With the reform and opening up, countless people left their hometowns to the big cities in the south. When it comes to part-time job, it is easy to reflect the gray faces in the factory.
The popular concept a few years ago was “white-collar”, which distinguished it from those “wage earners” with gray collars. “White-collar workers” are fashionable imaginations of the elite. They are foreign companies, Starbucks, and glorious meeting rooms.
People firmly believe that there is a class that speaks decently and gracefully, and has a stronger sense of control over life.
The most popular article many years ago was “I struggled for eighteen years before I could fight with you Sit together and drink coffee“. The author elaborated on how difficult it is to achieve a class leap from a rural working family, compared with the aboriginal young people in the city.
He said that there used to be high-endFacial tissue wants to enter the vast migrant worker market, but the poor folks in his hometown most often wipe the oil on their faces with the back of their hands after eating. When he talked about this, the opposite brand market from the big city showed a contemptuous look.
This degree is people’s perception of “workers” and “workers”.

But it seems that everything has changed in recent years. One of the most obvious feelings is, is there really any clear distinction between the so-called “white-collar” and “part-time job”?
There are early jokes on the Internet. The white-collar workers in the office are arranged to make watches, write codes, and draw ppts mechanically every day. Everything is to meet the needs of the boss or customers. There are also occasional chats in the pantry, all with the factory in the early years. The female workers are exactly the same-they sell their energy and time, but they have no creativity.
I searched the Internet for “beating workers”, and someone has asked:
Professional sensitivity tells me that this is another new media person or product copywriter who needs to build up all night, pursue a sense of the Internet, and try to pretend to be fashionable.
It won’t be long before these stalks will appear on all the WeChat tweets and product packaging within sight.
Even the ridicule of “hitting workers” is a job for certain people.
After working ten hours a day. People began to laugh at themselves as “community animals”. It means that there is no freedom and dignity as human beings, but animals that are only performing social functions-the term “community animal” comes from Japan, which is known for its huge work pressure, and it is appropriate.
This is not the case in China. From Xierqi to Huilongguan, behind the cold faces of everyone on the subway, there is a fragile life that is broken.
When some new labor industries are in the ascendant-such as couriers and takeaways, the news that “just work hard, you can get a high salary” always has a high degree of dissemination, and it can hit the heart of urban white-collar workers. , Which implies that part-time workCan you earn so much?
Now everyone has long accepted the reality: the hard work is well deserved.
What’s more, aren’t we working?
This year was a year in which “involution” was widely discussed and misused. Regardless of the original intent of the introductory as an academic concept, at least in the online context, many people have begun to reexamine what is wrong with our lives, so that everyone is running wildly on the narrower and narrower track.
Even no matter how well-educated and rich resources, they are still working for capital and paying for the increasingly expensive limited resources.
For those who are completely out of this context, we even give birth to a trace of envy from a distance.
In April of this year, Mr. Zhou from Guangxi was released from prison. Five years ago, he was arrested for theft, leaving behind the famous saying “It is impossible to work in this life, and it is impossible to work in this life”; for five years; Later, his release from prison led to an Internet spree, and people respected him as “Stealing Che Guevara,” and even some Internet celebrity companies came to the door and wanted to take him on his debut.
All of this is so ridiculous, but he looks like a normal person. Zhou refused the invitation of the Internet celebrity company because “this is also for people to work”, and his belief is not to work for people.
Theft of Chevala emoticon package
Theft is of course an illegal crime, but the belief in “never work” still shocks thousands of workers, and even the sense of morality is invalidated here. “Workers” said that this is a real romance.
Even the Sanhe youths who “do one day and play for three days” have received unprecedented attention. In Shenzhen, where workers are most intensive, Sanhe’s labor market is an exception. The Sanhe youths do not enter the “black factory” or accept exploitation. They would rather have nothing and do odd jobs, and they can hang around for a few days at will.
They call this the “Sanhe Spirit”.

In the past, not only urban white-collar workers tried to cut off from the part-time job, but real working-age girls also felt ashamed of this identity. In the most popular years of successful learning, every stall was peddling to you. If you don’t want to work all the time, you can’t have the mentality of being a worker.
The “worker mentality” criticized by name, looks like this:
Familiar? It’s the right thing to be familiar with. The young people in this class are no longer deceived by the rhetoric of “work for yourself” and “be your own boss”. I came here to work, even if I work overtime, I have to make a living as a last resort. Fortunately, don’t talk about it.
The old wolves who are accustomed to wolf-like discourse suddenly feel strange, so they have the problem of reaching the top and knowing the hot search:
Gao Zan answered like this, With three-point coolness, three-point ridicule and four-point carelessness:
There is also this:
Successful learning may really fail in this generation. No matter what occupation you are engaged in, the matter of “part-time job” has become more thorough and more Buddhist.
What about the working mentality? After all, after several years of wolves struggle, there are countless mountains in front of you: increasingly strict household registration system, high housing prices, and strata that are difficult to cross.
Who can guarantee that 996 to 35 years old will usher in blessing and not become the “eliminated middle class”?
Today, when labor conflicts are becoming clearer, everyone feels the same about part-time work. The article “the takeaway rider, trapped in the system “In addition to concerns, many people also feel hurt by things:
After all, in this age controlled by numbers and capital, who is not a worker trapped in the system?
So self-deprecating “beating workers” may not be like a new Internet stalk that is born every day.
What are we talking about when we say good morning hitting the workers?
Is it “I’m just working” or “I’m just working”?
Maybe both. For all those struggling workers who are trapped in the system, but are struggling to survive.
