Did you know?Rest on five days of work, this is not a system that only exists now, as early as the Han Dynasty was like this, but the number of days off is different, we now have five days off and two days off, and the Han Dynasty is five days off and one day off.

In addition to the usual rest days, we now also have statutory holidays, and this was also available in the Han Dynasty, such as the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, cold food and other festivals, as well as the winter solstice, summer solstice, and so on.

Nowadays, there is overtime on rest days, and there was also a phenomenon in the Han Dynasty. In "Hanshu Xue Propaganda", it records the story of a civil servant who took the initiative to work overtime and was persuaded to go home by the leader, which is very interesting and fully embodies humanistic thoughts.

According to the history books, there was a holiday, and an official official who was responsible for arresting thieves was equivalent to the current policeman, named Zhang Fu, who was public and selfless, and everyone else went home, but he refused to rest and wanted to stay and work overtime.

This was seen by the then leader Xue Xuan, and Xue Xuan said to Zhang Fu, according to the regulations, you will rest on vacation, although there is business to do in the unit, but the family also needs you, go home to accompany your wife and children, or get together with neighbors and friends.

Seeing this story, I was deeply touched, and felt that Xue Xuan was really reasonable and humane, not only sympathetic to his subordinates, but also for the sake of his subordinates' families.

Of course, the spirit of forgetting selfishness and taking the initiative to work overtime must be praised, but this spirit is really not worth advocating, because this spirit sacrifices not only the individual, but also the family, especially the growth of children.

I think that running a good family is more conducive to individuals doing a good job in their posts, and only when the family is harmonious, can they have enough energy to devote themselves to work, otherwise, if they only care about work and cause family disharmony, they will have no intention of working.

Therefore, a smart leader not only cares about his subordinates or employees, but also cares about his family. Some units also invite family members to gatherings, and some give birthday cakes to family members, which are all manifestations of this culture.

Of course, overtime in modern society is unavoidable, many units or enterprises must work overtime, and more, how to mobilize the enthusiasm of employees to work overtime, and fully take care of the personal and family life of employees, test the wisdom of leaders, not to give money can do.

Especially today's young people, many people are looking for a job, and they have taken whether to work overtime as a standard, and the units that need to work overtime will give up. On the other hand, even if young people have to work overtime, they are emotional, which leads to low work efficiency.
