preface
It’s customary to ask yes first, then why.
Judging from the number of views on Zhihu, yes.
So why is it that American programmers can just go home at the end of the day, while Chinese programmers have to work “voluntarily” and “without pay” every day?
After looking closely at the enthusiastic responses from the crowd, they can be divided into several groups:
1. The product manager is not reasonable enough, resulting in low efficiency
2, performance overtime, going home too early will be considered not hard work
3, do not respect technical talent, 35 years old warning
China is catching up from behind and cannot catch up without working overtime
Let’s take a look at the specific teasing content:
Development vs. PM
Trembling only dare to ridicule, after all, the reality touch a touch too big risk.
Product manager’s response:
It’s because you have too much time on your hands
Anger will also burn from PM to ** customers, not customers squeezing, urging, PM how willing to squeeze programmers!
Others think that now is the inevitable stage of the pain, past it, everything will be fine.
Wait for hair to fall out before meeting qualified boss, qualified PM, qualified customer.
A culture of overtime?
There are also executives pointed out that for many years in 996, domestic companies have formed the “culture” of working overtime, who leaves work early who is not hard.
You are wrong. I suggest you try again next time.
Everyone takes it for granted, and no one cares what the labor law says anymore. Add, add hard.
The inevitable result of the inner coil, suggested to go out when blue collar, repair roads, repair water pipes and so on.
Management can’t
Bosses come out this way, “brothers” also have to keep pace, can’t keep up with that is you are not good.
Manager is not good enough to say anything.
How can this be done? Mature management system will be solved in time.
It seems that people really pay attention to the managerial level factor.
Amazon employees testified that good managers can solve problems most of the time.
There is also a sound development process
Chinese programmers are working overtime. What are they doing?
Constantly changing requirements without a clear purpose.
And that’s it.
But it could also be that iteration keeps Chinese programmers in their jobs.
From a historical perspective, 996 is also a kind of happiness
If you don’t, you don’t have a meal. If you do, you die.
Meetings are productive, but productivity can only be boosted by making the right demands.
Maybe American programmers are not all the same, it seems that patting the head is a common disease in the world.
Engineer culture
Chinese programmers are for higher bonus, good job hunting, earn a little more before 35 years old is a little bit.
The Internet in the United States developed earlier, and the engineer culture was relatively perfect, and the products respected technology.
The company is willing to invest in development tools, and technical personnel are fully respected.
Can Chinese programmers be 955
In fact, there are some programmers in China who live the same 9-to-5, five-day work week as their American counterparts.
996. After icu, some colleagues established the 995 white list, and up to now, it has 18.9 stars, which shows how strong the public’s voice is.
It is a pity that most are foreign enterprises in China branch, into domestic Internet enterprises estimate or get 996.
Really the wrong girl?
Do you work overtime?
This question has been put forward two years ago, during the 996 storm, but we should work overtime or have to work overtime.
American counterparts laughed without a word, and Chinese who went abroad could live a 955 life.
Are you still working overtime?
