The process of human growth is often accompanied by various challenges and difficulties. Starting in kindergarten, children have to adapt and learn to get along with others in the face of new environments and strangers. Then there is elementary and middle school, and the difficulty of learning Xi is increasing, and the pressure of exams is also coming. After graduation, entering university is a new beginning, and students need to learn to manage their time and life independently, and face various coursework and social pressures. In the end, it is a difficult process to step into the society to find a job, the competition is fierce, and the employment situation is not optimistic.
In the process, people often overlook other important aspects of life, such as family, affection, and vacations. The stress of work and the demands of the job position leave people with little time to take care of their families and loved ones. Especially at critical moments, such as the death of a loved one, the leave offered by the workplace often does not meet people's needs. When his grandfather died, he couldn't take bereavement leave, and Xiao Li was complained and criticized by his relatives, which resonated with the migrant worker group.
Xiao Li works in Zhejiang, his grandfather died not long ago, and he plans to take leave to go home for funeral. However, his company told him that he could only take annual or personal leave and would not accept applications for bereavement leave. Xiao Li felt very frustrated and aggrieved, his relationship with his grandfather was very deep, and it was his regret that he did not fulfill his filial piety. He had hoped to be able to attend his grandfather's funeral, but due to company restrictions, he had to rush back to his hometown overnight and hurriedly return to the company after attending the ceremony. This made him feel pressured and aggrieved, and also caused dissatisfaction and criticism from relatives.
Xiao Li's experience is not unique, and many migrant workers face similar difficulties at work. Their holidays are always compressed and restricted, unable to meet the needs of families and individuals, or even to fulfill filial piety and family responsibilities. This phenomenon has aroused the resonance and concern of migrant workers, who have expressed their dissatisfaction with the existing leave system and their desire to get more vacation time.
However, there is also a rationale for the existence of the compensatory leave system. On the one hand, through concentrated holidays, national consumption can be stimulated and economic development can be promoted. During the long holidays, people have more time to travel and shop, which brings economic benefits to the tourist city and all walks of life. On the other hand, the compensatory holiday also expands the influence of the holiday, increasing the sense of ritual and meaning of the holiday. By adjusting the rest schedule, the statutory holiday that was originally only one day has been turned into two or even three days, providing people with more opportunities to relax and enjoy their time.
However, there are also some problems and unfairness in the current compensatory leave system. Migrant workers face a series of sudden shifts of leave every year, which leads to instability in work and life. Especially during long vacations, they often need to work consecutive days or even longer, and overtime leads to physical and mental exhaustion. In this case, many people have called for the abolition of the compensatory leave system, so that statutory holidays can truly become vacation time, and reduce the work pressure and living burden of migrant workers.
The existence of the compensatory leave system has certain rationality and advantages, but there are also some drawbacks and unfairness. The abolition of the compensatory leave system is an issue worthy of discussion and consideration.
From an advantage point of view, the compensatory leave system can indeed stimulate economic development and promote the prosperity of tourism. Through concentrated holidays, people have more time and opportunities to travel and consume, which brings greater benefits to all walks of life. In addition, the compensatory holiday also expands the influence of the holiday, allowing people to have more time to feel and enjoy the atmosphere of the festival.
However, there are also some drawbacks and problems with the compensatory leave system. First of all, the continuous working hours are too long, resulting in physical and mental exhaustion for migrant workers. Especially during long vacations, many people need to work consecutive days or more, which takes a toll on physical and mental health. Secondly, the compensatory leave makes the vacation no longer stable, and the instability of work and life increases, which brings great trouble to the workers. Finally, some holidays themselves are not suitable for compensatory holidays, such as traditional festivals such as Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc., which originally had only one day of statutory holiday, but became 3 days after the compensatory holiday, making people feel overly thick and commercialized.
In the face of these problems and inequities, we need to think about how to improve the current compensatory leave system. On the one hand, the relevant departments can strengthen the supervision and management of compensatory holidays to ensure the reasonable arrangement and fairness of holidays. On the other hand, other ways of arranging holidays can be explored, and consideration should be given to keeping the vacation time of statutory holidays as stable as possible and not making too many compensatory holidays. This allows people to have more time to relax and rest, and also reduces the pressure of work and life.
Regardless of whether or not the compensatory leave system is abolished, it is necessary to balance the interests and needs of all parties. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the attention and protection of migrant workers, so as to ensure that they can enjoy reasonable holidays and rest periods, and fulfill their family and social responsibilities. Most importantly, we should cultivate a healthy work-life mindset that balances work and life, focusing not only on career development, but also on the needs of family and individuals.
