Zhongxin Finance, February 10. Recently, the sudden death of employees at Station B during the Spring Festival has become a hot topic.

Station B denied that there was overtime work before the incident, while Weibo users who claimed to be family members of employees said that the deceased often stayed up late to work, and both sides insisted.

  The above-mentioned Weibo user shared the annual summary sent by the deceased on December 31, 2021, with the caption "It's hard work, a worker."

The picture shows, "There are 321 late nights, and you are using corporate WeChat. The busiest month in November, you have participated in 21,930 work discussions. The latest day is 4:42 a.m. on November 12."

An annual summary of the deceased posted by Weibo users claiming to be family members of the deceased.

  Zhongxin Finance has noticed that a recruitment information for auditors at station B released by a third-party human resources company on a recruitment platform shows that the position is located in Wuhan and is divided into three shifts in the morning, middle and evening, with a working time of 12 hours, and requires Candidates can accept night shift arrangements and have good pressure resistance, but the recruitment for this position is currently showing that it has expired.

A job posting says 12 hours of work is required.

  The Internet used to be an industry that everyone envied, meaning high growth and high returns, but I don't know when, "overtime to baldness" and even various abnormal deaths have become the shadow of the Internet industry.

  More than ten years ago, when the Internet was booming, sudden deaths of employees in the industry occurred from time to time.

With the increasingly fierce competition in the industry, the pressure on Internet employees has only increased, and tragedies are still happening: in March 2020, Situ Zhengmei, a well-known front-end technology leader, died suddenly at home; in June 2020, a program in Nanjing who was about to become a father An employee of an Internet company collapsed due to a cerebral hemorrhage when he was about to go out. At the end of December 2020, another employee of an Internet company fell to the ground and died suddenly on his way from get off work at one o'clock in the morning.

  There are many cases of sudden employee death in Internet companies in recent years, many of which are related to high-intensity work.

This has to make people reflect on the overtime culture formed under the fierce competition of Internet companies.

  The prevalence of overtime culture stems from the excessive pursuit of performance.

For example, the performance requirements of an Internet company's audit posts were originally 8,000 per day. In order to obtain better assessment results, everyone began to actively or passively increase their weight, and everyone became overwhelmed and did not dare to relax.

  "Higher income is actually earned with time." Some company employees said that Internet companies are "one person doing the work of three people and giving two people money".

  Although there have been frequent reports that Internet companies have established an anti-overtime system in the past, whether it can be implemented in actual operation can balance the issues of employee health and enterprise development. The system, regulations and implementation may need to be further improved.
