Recently, a news about a woman quitting more than 600 work groups after leaving her job has sparked heated discussions on the Internet. While working in the real estate design of shopping malls, this woman had to review the design drawings of hundreds of stores and joined one job group chat after another, totaling more than 600.
It is understood that the woman said that she needs to reply to messages at any time at work, which causes her to be in a tight work state all the time. After leaving, she spent 3 and a half hours to quit all work group chats, which made her feel much more relaxed and more intuitively experienced the difficulties of the workplace.
This incident caused mixed reactions from netizens. Some people sighed: "Since there is a work group, there is no black and white night at work, there is no difference between working days and holidays, I am working anytime and anywhere, and I am even afraid when I hear a message in the group." Others said they had a deep experience: "I joined more than 50 groups and I was already tired. Another person reminisced about the days when there were no mobile phones, saying, "Now my work is tied to various platforms, and my children's school is also tied to various check-in platforms." ”
WeChat was originally a social application software, but it is clear that its tool attributes have surpassed social attributes and has become a difficult burden for many people to get rid of. Every day, people have to reply to the usual phrases such as "received", "okay", "understood", "thank you, leader", etc., and there is no real relief.
This incident has triggered netizens' concerns and reflections on the tooling of WeChat. Some people worry that the "please reply received" message that pops up every weekend will cause trouble in their lives. There was a lot of discussion and feedback in the comments section.
In this fast-paced workplace environment, people need to clarify the boundaries between work and life in order to maintain a healthy work state and life rhythm. At the same time, all parties in the workplace need to think about how to use work group chat tools rationally to reduce the stress of employees and achieve a balance between work efficiency and quality of life.
Perhaps, we need to find a balance between work and life, so that the progress of technology and the development of the workplace can serve people's happiness and health.
