There is a young graduate who works in a big Internet company in Shenzhen with an annual salary of several hundred thousand. However, after work, people went to take an examination of civil servants in their hometown. Fortunately, he crossed the line last year and was admitted to a civil servant in his hometown. Although the monthly salary may be only a few thousand dollars in the future, which is far from the current income, people resolutely quit their jobs with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands in Internet companies and returned to their hometowns to be civil servants. It may also be that for others, we are birds with lofty aspirations, while others may have some ambitions, thinking that only when we become civil servants can we serve our country and realize our long-cherished wish in life. But for more people, only the work within the system can be called work. Why? Because over the years, many people have really felt the difficulty of working outside the system. Although you may earn a lot of money when you are young, almost all of it is desperate. Which big factory doesn't work overtime? Which big factory can really let you rest for two days a week and let you rest on all legal holidays throughout the year?

What young people say most these days is that there is a girl in Xinjiang who works day and night, and as a result, she can die suddenly on her way to work at the age of 23. Are these young people working too hard? But on the other hand, can't you work hard? All kinds of rules and regulations govern you, and all kinds of poisonous chicken soup coax you. The boss has to stand up anytime and anywhere and say that 996 is a blessing. The boss has to tell you anytime and anywhere: what is your 996? I work 20 hours a day, 7 days a week and sleep 4 hours a day! The high income outside the system must be the result of working overtime like chicken blood, and it is earned by overworking life. Young people outside the system are more worried that even if I want to work overtime in the future, it will be difficult for me to stay in this unit after I reach a certain age of 40 and 45.

And all this does not exist within the system. On the one hand, the pressure itself is not that great. Enterprises and institutions within the system are absolutely law-abiding. They can rest when it's time to rest, and they won't let you work overtime if they can. And most importantly, after 40, they will give you a very stable prospect. I haven't heard of any government unit saying that this man is over 45 years old, so I have to give him hard shoes and force him to leave, so that I can recruit more young people. For many people, the most important thing is stability within the system. However, all this is very different from twenty or thirty years ago. Twenty or thirty years ago, remember? At the beginning of reform and opening up, a large number of young people in the system voluntarily gave up the iron rice bowl. Only by going to the sea can our economy flourish. Today, with generations of young people turning their attention to stability and system, should we think about whether all this should be changed?
