Chapter 1317 The relationship between work status and suffering travel
Zhang Yuan told Zhang Nan his experience in detail in a slightly proud tone, and used the "three-step" method.
The first step is to introduce to Zhang Nan the latest theoretical results researched by Wu Bin of the Human Resources Department;
The second step is to combine the list of suffering trips and find commonalities between the people in charge who were selected to go on the suffering trip and the people in charge who did not go on the suffering trip;
The third step is to comprehensively analyze and find solutions.
If he was not very sure before, now that the list of people suffering from the second period of travel has come out, Zhang Yuan's speculation has been fully verified.
On the one hand, those people he had confirmed were safe before, such as Chen Kangtuo from the Panic Hostel, were still safe.
On the other hand, none of the people in charge who he thought were more dangerous before were spared.
As for himself, he successfully escaped the disaster by relying on his work in offline viewing activities during the GOG Global Invitational Tournament!
With so many verifications, Zhang Yuan is extremely certain of his theory, and can even be said to be convinced of it.
Mr. Pei’s deep intention is to guide everyone to get rid of the alienated state of labor, work happily and creatively, so as to achieve their greatest potential!
Zhang Nan was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
At first glance, this theory seems outrageous and completely unreasonable!
But after Zhang Yuan explained the inference process of this theory, especially after every step was perfectly matched, Zhang Nan felt that this theory was too comprehensive, too complete, and simply impeccable!
Zhang Nan thought for a moment and said: "Listening to what you said, it does make sense!"
"This should be the explanation closest to Mr. Pei's original idea."
"But there's still something I don't quite understand."
"The previous logic is very smooth. For example, the 'alienation of labor', the separation of work and entertainment, and the division of responsible people are all very clear."
"But... how do these theories relate to suffering travel?"
“Why is the way to correct ‘alienation of labor’ is to suffer?”
Zhang Yuan seemed to have considered this issue a long time ago and said with a smile: "This is actually easy to understand."
"I didn't understand it at first, but after the second batch of lists came out, I discussed it carefully with Wu Bin and learned about his latest theoretical results."
"Then, it suddenly dawned on me that all these things are connected!"
“In fact, suffering travel itself is a standard template of labor alienation.”
"When people take the initiative to travel, they can choose the time, place, and way of travel. In this state, traveling is of course a happy thing."
“When you arrive at a new place and see new scenery, you will still enjoy it even if you have traveled a long distance, bumpy and tiring, and traveled a lot.”
"Suffering travel completely changes the nature of travel, from active travel to forced travel, and becomes a very serious matter."
"You cannot choose the time, place, and way of travel by yourself, but by others; during the travel process, you have planned strict itineraries and goals, which must be achieved; the purpose of travel is no longer happiness, but the completion of set tasks...
"
“If you compare it, do you think it has a lot in common with ‘alienation of labor’?”
Zhang Nan nodded thoughtfully: "Yes... indeed."
"The commonality is still obvious. Labor and travel were originally subjective, free, and creative activities, but after alienation, they became passive, forced, and painful activities."
"The process of this transformation, as well as the results of the transformation, are quite similar."
Zhang Yuan continued: "This is actually very difficult to detect because of the long-term inertial thinking."
"Most people naturally believe that work and entertainment are separate, distinct, and completely different in nature. In our conventional thinking, we think that work is tiring and painful, while traveling is free, relaxing, and entertaining.
"
"So it's hard to think of anything that work and travel have in common."
"But in fact, in their most original state, their properties are highly similar."
"This is actually difficult to understand, but once you understand it, you will feel a sudden enlightenment."
Zhang Nan thought seriously: "So, Mr. Pei arranged the suffering trip to let the people in charge understand this truth and change their mentality?"
"But this seems a bit far-fetched. After all, although these people in charge can be said to be workaholics, their work does bring them some fun, but traveling...is no fun at all?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly: "Although there is fun, the nature is different."
“The fun that workaholics get at work is not the original fun of work.”
"What drives workaholics to work is often a sense of responsibility, a habit developed since childhood, the goal of promotion and salary increase, and the stimulation of various complex factors."
"And the most original pleasure of labor is the joy of creation, the joy of making use of one's ingenuity."
"These two pleasures are essentially different and cannot be confused."
"If you mix it up, it's easy to fall into a state where creativity is suppressed without realizing it."
"It is precisely because the alienated state of labor has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and taken for granted that Mr. Pei has to switch to the medium of 'travel', so that it is easier to understand the irrationality of labor alienation."
Zhang Yuan expanded his explanation a little further.
In these contents, it is obvious that most of the theoretical knowledge comes from Wu Bin, and Zhang Yuan just repeated it based on his own understanding.
On the surface, workaholics can also get happiness from work, but what they get is not the original happiness of labor.
Workaholics will also have a sense of satisfaction after completing their work, but this sense of satisfaction comes from the following aspects:
First, the sense of responsibility, because work and entertainment are strictly separated, so work is regarded as "legitimate, reasonable, and noble", while entertainment is regarded as "illegitimate, depressing, and a waste of time."
Therefore, from the perspective of workaholics, work has a strong legitimacy. When you spend a lot of time working, although you cannot feel the original happiness of work, you will gain a sense of satisfaction that "I have been doing serious things and have not wasted my time."
Secondly, it is a habit.
The education that most people have received since childhood is that you cannot play, you have to study, you have to work hard, and you have to work hard to make money. Studying and working are painful in themselves, but you have to bear and endure this pain, because excellent people all
This is how it is done.
Over time, "enduring pain" becomes a habit, and even a natural adaptation. Changing this painful state will make people unaccustomed.
Finally, there is the stimulation of the goal.
The goal of many people's work is to complete KPIs, complete performance, be evaluated in assessments, get promotions and salary increases, and gain promotion in the workplace step by step.
And this kind of goal makes them work like a donkey with a carrot hanging on it.
Of course, this does not mean that it is wrong to pursue promotions and salary increases or to emphasize serious work and a sense of responsibility.
Working hard is a professional spirit and should be encouraged.
But from another perspective, emphasizing the pain of work and the legitimacy of work actually separates the joy of labor and makes people naturally accept the alienated state of labor.
Zhang Nan was a little confused: "But... doesn't this achieve the ultimate goal?"
If the ultimate goal is for employees to work hard, receive promotions and salary increases, and the company to develop rapidly, then Tengda has already achieved this goal.
Why bother with its properties?
Zhang Yuan shook his head again: "Of course not!"
"These two states are actually essentially different."
"People can endure pain, or even ignore pain, but sooner or later the pain will come back, it's just a matter of more or less."
"Some people don't even feel the consequences at all, but that doesn't mean they don't exist."
"If you think that work itself is a painful thing, and completing the work comes from a sense of responsibility, in order to complete KPIs and set goals, then on the surface it is true that the work is done well, but in fact it is not
There is simply no motivation to move higher.”
"Because the spirit of innovation requires immersion, fun, and a state of forgetting both things and myself."
"If you think that work is painful, then this pain will continue to accumulate at work; if you think that the goal of work is to make money, then after a certain level, you will hate work."
"Some people say that they can enjoy life after making enough money. In the final analysis, it is because they oppose work and life, and regard work as a painful means of making a living, rather than a fun part of life."
“Only when you truly feel the joy of labor can you give full play to your imagination and creativity without depleting yourself.”
"What President Pei needs is not a tool person who only has KPIs in his eyes and is focused on performance, but a person in charge who is full of imagination and creativity and can take charge of his own role."
Zhang Nan suddenly realized: "That's it!"
"In other words, suffering during travel is actually a microcosm of the alienated state of labor. After people in charge feel this kind of pain, they can better understand the wrong direction of their work and take the initiative to correct it."
Zhang Yuan nodded: "That's right."
"Actually, I have already felt this change."
"I went on stage to sing two songs before to make things better, and suddenly I found that the effect was pretty good!"
"Of course, I know the level of my singing, but why do the audience still like it so much? It's obviously this attitude of having fun with netizens and the spirit of entertaining the public, which has been recognized by everyone and has brought us closer invisibly.
The distance between me and everyone.”
"This is very inspiring for my future work!"
"This is true for a department like the E-Sports Division, which has relatively little need for creativity. So for departments such as games and movies, how much will the exploration of creativity improve the people in charge?"
