My experience
When I saw this watch, I found myself a real troublemaker. Behind it are countless overtime nights and weekends.
Working overtime in state-owned enterprises
After drinking a cup of tea and reading a newspaper, half a day passed; Pull a light, find a treasure, and the day will pass. The ease of life makes you crazy, but you are reluctant to leave. Before I went to a state-owned enterprise, people told me so, and I naively believed it.
In fact, most of my evenings and weekends are occupied by overtime. As a technician of a construction company, my daily work includes compiling construction scheme and technical scheme, making time limit for a project plan, drawing technical disclosure and technical change orders, writing letters and telegrams, writing construction methods and patents, publishing papers and making PPT reports. Although there are five or six people in our department, I am busy alone most of the time.
Whenever a person works overtime in the canteen, I will curse in my heart; Whenever a person works overtime until late at night, I swear in the street. I think it is particularly unfair. Why should I work overtime? Why do I have to work overtime alone?
Yes, I hate working overtime when I stay in state-owned enterprises. I don't think I should give a newcomer so much work at once. I think we should do it step by step. I think several other people in the same position in the office should also do something.
Three months later, I began to get used to working overtime, and I was also used to praise at meetings. After half a year, I became a full member six months in advance with the first place in the on-site defense; A year later, I undoubtedly became the most knowledgeable person in the whole team.
When I used to work overtime, all the grievances and unwillingness disappeared. At this moment, I finally know the meaning of overtime-let me become stronger faster. In the following year, I took on more difficult work actively, and I had to work overtime, but I was happy to see that I was more "capable" than people at the same level or even higher.
Feeling: In state-owned enterprises, working overtime allows you to surpass many people in a short time.
Working overtime in a startup company
Non-mainstream office park, LOFT office building, open office area, playing darts and eating pizza, I was deeply attracted when I first entered this startup company. I was fascinated by the founding team from Ali, and immediately made up my mind to join them. It was quite a short encounter.
From the traditional construction industry to the internet, from technology to operation, with great pride and a little preparation, I officially changed careers. Weibo 3000 fans, WeChat 200 fans, take over the status quo of SNS. Bosses don't have clear goals, but it can be seen that they have great expectations for me and the new media.
Although I usually like to play WeChat and Weibo, running it is another matter. During the day, I will find information, write articles, typeset and interact with a few fans according to the established plan; Look at the information at night and catch up on all kinds of operational knowledge. There is no need to have a complete life. During that time, everyone in this company with an average age of less than 25 was full of passion until one day came.
After spending four or five months happily in this company, the atmosphere of the company suddenly became strange (now I think it is the reason for the failure of the B round of financing). Suddenly, technology, operation, design, BD and administration all changed their work contents, and went to Yangpu Street to distribute leaflets and put up posters.
14 is very cold in winter, but we need to send the leaflets to the primary school near Wujiaochang before 7: 30 in the morning. There is a strong wind blowing in the street, but we need to carry thousands of posters to drive away the aunts in various communities in Shanghai; Before I went crazy, I was almost cursed; At night, pedestrians in the subway station come and go in a hurry. In the cold white eyes, we shouted "Tongji Fudan, undergraduate tutor only needs 1 yuan" ...
Finally, after an unpleasant thing happened in the New Year, I left nearly ten people in a week, and I was one of them.
Now think about that winter, overtime is really worthless, not that flyers and posters are low, but because of those efforts, and those overtime hours are not very meaningful. The best relationship between employees and the company is-hello, I am good, and we become better together. If your company also shows signs of letting "sky-high" programmers hand out leaflets, I advise you to leave quickly and work overtime in other companies.
Feeling: In a startup company, you must do something meaningful if you work overtime.
Working overtime in a listed company
Well, our company hasn't listed yet, but it will soon. In this fast-growing company, I have a group of excellent colleagues who try to prove that "people smarter than you work harder than you", so no matter whether I get off work at eight or nine o'clock or one or two o'clock, I can always see a busy figure.
With such a group of people, you have to work hard and work overtime. What's more, I made a second leap in my work. This time, I finally stepped into my favorite product position, and I absorbed all kinds of knowledge hungrily, because I knew that excellent product managers needed huge knowledge reserves and industry acumen.
During the day, I focus on my own products. In the evening, I study competing products, watch industry news, read all kinds of internet books, write about my work feelings, and write reading notes ... Working overtime is a very helpless and painful thing, but I am very busy.
If there are only a few people in the office and you are still busy and excited, congratulations-you have a clear goal, you are still working hard, and you must have a bright future.
Feelings: In listed companies, overtime work is not the company's requirement, but their own needs.
Write it at the end
Write your own works and let yourself think constantly; Write reading notes and let yourself learn to refine; Writing competitive analysis makes you sensitive. Persevere, I believe that I will be very different after one year.
