Program ape Survival Guide -61 Birds out of the nest

Birds leave the nest

(174).

In the middle of the summer of 2015, a rectification movement named “Eliminate the old white rabbit, lead the Wolf into the House” was quietly launched in the Internet field.

The so-called old white rabbit refers to the old employee who is popular and liked by everyone, but does not produce results and still occupies resources and opportunities. A Wolf is a new employee who has a keen sense of smell and is willing to risk his or her life if he or she senses an opportunity.

The movement began when the CEO of an Internet giant gave a speech at an industry summit. The boss’s comments are like a light in the night sky, pointing bosses in the direction of improving their internal staff. They have followed up, downsizing personnel. The industry soon set off a wave of “drive away rabbits, share grain to the head Wolf, everyone as the head Wolf” wave.

Throughout the development course of most enterprises, many old white rabbits were also the first Wolf. They put their best foot forward and fought their way out for the enterprise by overdrawing their bodies. But now the youth is not, combat effectiveness decreases, had to be optimized out of the team, to give way to the successor.

This rectification movement let me have a kind of “rabbit dead, lackey cook” of the sad feeling. But the survival of the fittest is part of nature. Corporations are not charities, and businessmen are not philanthropists. That’s the cruel thing about technology. If you don’t keep improving, it’s easy to get pounded to death on the beach by a stronger wave. This is why IT is considered by many to be a youth industry.

Recently, rumors have been rife that the Internet dividend has faded and will soon be in decline. However, from my own recent experience, it seems that the situation is not as dire as others say. Every now and then I get calls from headhunters urging me to jump ship. They tempted me with a promise of double my current salary. Is IT that IT headhunters are cutting a last wave of leeks before winter? I don’t know.

Li Ji once contacted me and said that he had a classmate in Peking University who was engaged in campus entrepreneurship. He was incubating a bicycle related project and was in urgent need of a technician to join. He asked me if I was interested in it.

I thought to myself, in the fucking 21st century, there is still someone who wants to ride a bike. I turned him down flat. In view of the recent period of leisure, I told Li Ji that if there is a technology outsourcing to make a quick profit, it can take me.

The elimination of the old white rabbit wave has not receded, a cut in the whirlwind of recruitment posts blow again. One group, which had planned to recruit 1,500 college graduates this year, announced last week that it would cut its quota to 400.

The industry is buzzing with rumors and jitters. Some people say that the Internet winter is coming, programmers good days are coming to an end. While regular employees are worried about being laid off, interns are starting to worry about getting a job.

Uneasiness soon spread to Lang Yun, and Deng was not immune. She is not from a famous university, she has a bachelor’s degree, and her technical strength is not strong. It is normal to worry about her. She secretly asked me for help to inquire about the intern’s employment in early September.

I have heard from Kangshen that Longyun has no plans to reduce its enrollment this year. In front of the God of Health, I was naturally a fierce boast to my apprentice. Kang shen told me that whenever there is a permanent quota in the group, deng Jiruyun will be given priority.

My good words may have had some effect with The God of Health, but very little. Kang shen’s plan to keep Deng is based more on her good daily performance. Sometimes attitude is more important than strength. The other intern in the group has strong technical strength, but he has high expectations and is not very friendly, so he is not very popular.

I will kang god’s words conveyed to Deng Uncut jade charm, to her eat a reassuring. Deng Jungyun is very happy, in addition to repeatedly thanks, must invite me to have a meal. On Friday night, we made an appointment at a Northeast Barbecue restaurant near our company.

Looking for a window seat in the lobby of the restaurant, DENG and I were at first somewhat constrained without Li Xiangyang as company. After some awkward conversation, we finally found something to talk about.

It’s another job-hunting season, and as someone who’s been there before, I’m starting to answer some questions.

I told Deng a lot of frustrations and coping measures that she might encounter when looking for a job. I also commented on the advantages and disadvantages of state-owned enterprises, foreign enterprises and private enterprises for her reference. Excited to, also told her that WHEN I work in state-owned enterprises, with the rich second generation hao Shuo playing cards, annual prize was wronged, leaving the small black house and a series of fun. He also mentioned Old Pan by the way.

In the face of junior brother and junior sister, my shortcomings of pontificating were exposed. In addition, Deng always put on an inquisitive air in front of me, which made it difficult to stop the car once I started talking. So, barbecue did not eat much, spit star son is a lot of fees. Throughout most of the meal, I was ranting, while Deng whispered along.

When I left, I told Deng that I was a bit of a talker. Deng puyun, however, stretches out thumbling and says she has benefited a lot.

Another evening, the urgent work on hand has been finished, the non-urgent work is scheduled for tomorrow. I sit back with my legs crossed and watch funny videos on my phone.

Suddenly, a warm current hit from behind. I sat up straight and looked back. Kangshen was standing hunched 20 centimeters away from me, his eyes round.

I quickly put my phone to rest, trying to suppress the blood flowing up my neck. But my face still feels hot. Kang God pointed to the opposite meeting room, motioned me to talk about something. This is awkward. It’s on the line.

At that time when I just joined the team, I was not familiar with the business in charge of the team, and my own skills were very poor, so I stayed up almost every day to work overtime, especially to forge ahead. After mixing, gradually become a veteran. In addition, Qianlong’s business line has been stagnant, muddling through has become the work norm.

One good thing about a company as big as Larvin is that it is easier to hire than to keep idle people.

Recently, I can obviously feel that I am too lazy to do anything. Career seems to have entered a soft period, into the work to work together, can bear the pot can carry on, do not seek progress, do not have a state.

Kang God talks to me, I’m afraid he’s going to knock me. I think I was once a Wolf, and now I’m about to become an old white rabbit. It may not be long before it becomes the target of a corporate purge. Deplorable and pitiful.

“Dayao, how are you doing?” Kang Shen leaned back in his chair, his head in his hands, and threw me a particularly open question.

I thought, what else can I do? Just like that. Just eat and die.

“I optimized Kafka’s consumer cluster last week. This week is working on a slow query in MySql. A machine in Redis cluster is always reporting high memory usage, I am watching……” It is human nature to speak insincerely.

“It’s quite substantial.” Kangshen’s swarthy face forced a faint smile. Read him carefully however that facial expression, the corners of the mouth that its rise is clearly hanging a few subtext: small kind son, still pack with me, often see you see video recently, stroll forum, every day very boring.

Kang God see through not to tell is a great wisdom, I see through others see through their own not to tell themselves can still keep their face is not red, heart does not jump is a kind of superpower.

“Boss, when will the development requirements of Qianlong phase 3 come out?” I put on a show of being concerned and motivated.

“How? No work?” Suddenly, Kang God sat straight, two eyes shine, staring at me.

“No, no, lots of life.” I shook my head like a rattle, “As long as you want to work, everywhere is alive, qianlong bugs, many left holes have not been filled.”

“At present, the company’s senior management is still divided on whether Qianlong should be protected or abandoned. Tens of millions of registered users are reluctant to give up, but the business is stuck in a bottleneck and the prospects are bleak. Kang God frowns, “I recently in the fight for a live related project development task. There are eight people in our group, not counting interns. I was talking to the head of the live program last week, and he could handle half the crew if we went there.”

“So if we go to new business, our team can only go to four?” ‘I wondered.

“Yeah, but even if they all want us, we can’t all go. We still have to leave a few people on the loon side to maintain it.” Kang God laughed.

When Kangshen talks to me, in private, he must want to bring me along. My heart immediately gave birth to a warm feeling, very grateful for his help.

‘Are you taking me there? I raised my eyebrows.

“I’ll take you if you want to go. But when I get there, I have to work overtime and stay up late.” Kang God picked up a pen from the table and turned, “Ah, the whole environment of the Current Chinese Internet is such. Everyone is racing ahead, working overtime and staying up late lest they fall behind.”

“Certainly. I’ll follow you wherever you go.” “I insisted.

The emperor needs loyal minister to assist, and the emperor needs recognition. Kang God is definitely a worthy boss to follow, he can not say on the surface of the special bright words, but secretly kept fighting for the interests of the brothers. A hundred times better than those who pretend to be brothers and are secretly selfish.

“All right, all right.” Kang Shen smiled and nodded his head again and again. He pursed his hair and looked at his watch. Then he continued, “I am not busy these days. What are your plans for the next few years?”

Looking at kang God that thinning hair, my thoughts dissociate for a moment. Kang Shen that head type with comedian star Xu Zheng special like, stay bald definitely better than now. Every time I saw his obsession with those strands of hair, I wanted to shave his head and tell him to change his hairstyle for a new life.

What are your plans for the next few years? This is like an interview question. Li Bo asked me the same question when I interviewed Lang Yun. At that time, I was full of pride, about the future, I lavish planning for half an hour.

But when the reality of this mountain really lay in front of me, I did not choose to do yu Gong, but to do the wisdom of the old. The original beautiful and bold imagination is mostly become an armchair strategist, and even become a laughing stock. Maybe growing up is realizing that you’re just a normal person with a good life.

“To tell you the truth, I’m not sure. One day at a time, one day at a time.” I’m not going to pretend and say anything grand to the health god who treats me sincerely.

“Honest enough, listen to a lot of long speeches, your broken pot broken answer is really refreshing.” Kang god face dew kind, “however, life still want to have a little planning, have a goal just have power.”

“Maybe I’ll work a few more years and save some money and go back home to farm.” I laughed at myself.

“Never poor difficult adult, without the attack on the old naive. Since ancient times the hero out of purgatory, never wealth into the earth. Beijing is a big platform, a place where ambition can be expressed.”

Kang God is worthy of often read ancient books, speak of words to quote classics, rhyme.

However, as a new Beijinger with an apartment, a car and a registered permanent residence, he naturally felt good about emperor Du. But I have nothing to rely on here, only lonely company.

I said, “We don’t even have a nest. All the money we have saved has been contributed to the landlord. What ambition?”

“Housing is really a big problem,” Kang said. But getting a nest in Beijing is not as difficult as you might think, and there’s no need to be too pessimistic.”

I said, “The housing price in Beijing is getting higher and higher. It’s really difficult. When it comes to housing, most of my peers are full of negative energy.”

Kang said, I bought my house the second year after I started working. At that time, when Beijing drifters are in the same situation as you are now, everyone thinks that the house in Beijing is expensive and can’t afford it. My family is not rich. My parents can’t help me. I have to rely on myself. In the first year of my graduation, my salary was 8000 per month before tax, and 4000 per month was not bad except for food and drink. At that time, one square meter near our company is more than 20,000 yuan, buy a two-bedroom to more than 500,000 yuan down payment. I figured I’d have to save at least 10 years to make a down payment, assuming housing prices didn’t go up. But it’s impossible for Beijing’s houses not to rise.”

I added, “Yeah, it’s starting to go up again recently. He paid 4 million for Wang Xu’s house last year. Now he can get 4.5 million.”

Kang shen continued: “Wang Xu’s family is well off. He is an exception. My family helped a little with the down payment for my house, but not much. I saved most of the money myself. I was all about making money, selling Parallel thinkPads and developing software systems for the company. I’ll do anything if it’s not illegal to pay for it.” Kangshen paused and thought thoughtfully, “Of course, we have to admit that the situation is still different from ours. We got on the bus at the fourth ring road, now you might have to run to the sixth ring road. But the subway is so convenient that it’s not a big problem to live far away.”

I said: “the generation has a generation of hardships, eldest brother this bowl of chicken soup, I did.”

Kang god smiled: “ha ha, I hope not poison chicken soup.”

The bird from the nest, wind and rain, pick up cold branches, lonely sandbar.
