The first is Mr. Xue's speech. Mr. Xue said that no matter who he works for, he always makes a fuss about his resume. This passage coincides with a point I once said: we should be our own capitalists.
We shouldn't always complain that our time is squeezed by our boss, and no one cares about our lives. In fact, when we choose a job, we have already decided to exchange time and health for money and identity. We are not wasting our youth for the company's goals. We have the right to choose a job that meets our life goals and is likely to achieve self-identity. Each of us is our own capitalist and manages our own life. From this perspective, there is no exploitation in this world, only competition and exchange.
The second is what Teacher Luo said. The value of life really comes from work. This view has been criticized by Kang, and many people may think it is a reflection of the ugly face of capitalists. But I think this view has internal logic and can only be said to be inaccurate.
First, let's look at the definition of value. I think value can be defined as internal value and external value, that is, self-identity and social identity. Those who oppose Mr. Luo's point of view can cite the example that Chen Jingrun studied math problems in his spare time when he was a warehouse keeper. We can reach a consensus that interest can bring value. When Chen Jingrun took mathematical research as his interest, he gained self-identity and Chinese identity, which of course created value. However, what made Chen Jingrun Chen Jingrun was the day when he quit his job as a keeper and took mathematics research as his career. What makes the cause great is the process of turning interest into love. Because great achievements in a field need corresponding time, just like a hobby is not enough, you need to treat it as a job.
I think the complete meaning of teacher Luo's sentence should be that the value of life does not come entirely from work, but those most far-reaching values require you to pay a long time and effort as a job.
Third, Mr. Xue finally added. Bargaining power is your opportunity elsewhere. In fact, the concepts of "cost" and "rent" in economics have surfaced.
We can define cost in one sentence: cost is the biggest price of giving up. Now choose this 996 job, the cost may be leisure time, or the same salary of 855 jobs. As for which one, it depends on which one is more expensive in your value ranking. The concept of "rent" is simply the difference between the amount you currently accept and the maximum amount you can accept. If you quit this 996 job and can't find a better job, then you are enjoying the rent of this job; If you can find a better job by quitting this job, you are paying rent for this job. Teacher Xue means to tell young people that how to choose a job depends on your own valuation and your value choice.
Finally, one point was put forward by Ma Dong. In fact, we all agree with 996 in our hearts, but we are eager to hear the voice against him.
In fact, this debate is a simple value ranking problem. If you think interest and income are important, don't say 886, then the price of making this choice is the leisure time and health you give up; If you think freedom and leisure are more important, such as 886, it means that you have given up higher salary and social status. It is not difficult to make a choice about life. The difficult thing is how to see yourself clearly, whether to enjoy the dividend of life in the job you are engaged in now, or to give up other more possibilities in the wasted years.
