Nowadays, the workload is heavy, the reality is heavy, and the health is overdrawn.

"White-collar workers in big cities"

The white paper on Chinese urban white-collar workers released by the Chinese Medical Doctor Association and the Chinese Hospital Association showed that 76% of the white-collar workers were in sub-health state, while the white-collar workers in Beijing, Shanghai and other first tier cities were nearly 60%.

Experts point out that "overwork" symptoms are manifested in physical condition, working time and mental state.

These include the following:

Physical sub-health.

"The colleagues around us are more or less physically ill and are in sub-health.

I was assigned to a relatively idle project group, but during the busy season, it is common for me to work overtime on weekends and work till morning. "

Said Chao Wei, an auditor at a well-known accounting firm in Shanghai.

24 hours standby.

"Every time I hear a cell phone ring or SMS ring when I go off duty, I feel numb on the scalp, for fear of accidents and overtime."

In Yangling, where the local media work.

No weekends.

Wei An, a consultant in multinational business, said he had not had the concept of "weekend" for a long time.

"Because of the project, the boss and colleagues are working overtime."

In the office, "settle down".

Securities company "golden collar" Qiu Li disclosed that he had worked 100 hours a week for a week. He was too busy to sleep even in the office, even if he stayed away from the company until 6 in the morning. At the same time, he still had to rush into the door and start a new day's work at 9.

Character is "professionalized".

Lu Ningning, a primary school teacher, said: "now that the working hours are long and intense, my family says that I become" professionalized "after work. Besides working hours, I also like to teach people, but later I find that I really have the habit of" preaching "to people, like" occupational diseases ".

There are not many people who put health first.

Many experts believe that the recent hot topic of overwork reveals the misunderstanding of workers' self-management of health.

The survey shows that although young white-collar workers have a certain understanding of the importance of self health, there are many people who say nothing but do not do anything.

The survey recently launched by the Xinhua Development Forum has shown that "young people spend money on making money is not worth it" shows that nearly 75% of respondents believe that "1 out of the top 1 of health is 0 behind."

Practice.

Gu Jun, a professor of sociology at Shanghai Univer, said: "the baton of pursuing high income" is often one of the main causes of white-collar work in big cities.

According to Gu Jun analysis, many people use their career goals to plan their own life goals. In fact, they are putting the cart before the horse, forgetting what they should pursue and what they are working for.

There are also some white-collar workers who buy themselves luxury goods to reward themselves for hard work overtime. This is also an unhealthy mentality. Instead of reducing their stress through this way, we should go close to nature and not always focus on income.

It is worth reconsidering that there are still some white-collar workers under pressure to be "busy" and lead to "overworked".

According to the survey, 86.1% of the 12000 respondents admitted that they would "pretend to be busy", and 15.9% of them were "often busy".

"Projects are always team work. Even if they have finished their work, if they haven't finished it, they can work overtime together."

Auditor Chao Wei said.

In response to the recent heated debate over "overworked" news, the experts suggested that we should refine the provisions of China's labor laws and regulations, and put forward concepts such as the right to rest, overtime, the right to remuneration and the definition of working conditions, so as to enable workers to safeguard their own rest rights and interests.
