I'm Xiaoyu, I've just turned 30 years old, and I'm currently working as an ordinary clerk in the system. In the past, I have always considered myself lucky because I have this stable job and benefits package. However, a recent incident has made me re-examine my life and think about the relationship between work and identity.
Every day, I go to work on time, in neat overalls, and at my desk. I spend every weekday with my colleagues, sharing life trivia and having lunch together. On the surface, we don't look any different, but I know that there is a special group of people behind the scenes, who are those "supernumerary" personnel who are dispatched labor.
There was a time when I couldn't understand why they chose to be the way they did. However, when I found out about my colleague Xiaoyu, a labor dispatch girl, I began to rethink this question. She worked here for three or four years, worked hard and got along well with everyone, but in the end she chose to quit.
One day, I met Xiaoyu in the canteen of my unit, and she was sitting silently in the corner, eating a simple lunch with her head down. I stepped forward and sat down across from her.
Xiaoyu, why did you resign?I asked curiously.
She raised her head, and there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, "Xiaoyu, don't you know?"No matter how good our work and how good our pay is, we will never be able to enter the system. I quit my job, not because my employer was bad, but because I wanted to change my identity and chase more possibilities. ”
Her words got me thought-provoking. Perhaps, we have always been at the height of the system, and it is difficult to understand the state of mind of those colleagues whose status has not been upgraded. Xiaoyu continued, "Identity is too important to us. I have worked for so many years, and my ability level and colleague relationship are good, but I have always been a labor dispatch person, and I cannot enjoy the benefits in the system. The salary of 2,800 yuan is too meager for a young man who works hard in this city. ”
I was silent for a moment, looking at the gritty and desire for the future in her eyes. Perhaps, we have been chasing the comfort zone within the system, and those who work hard are the real brave.
As time went on, the friendship between me and Xiaoyu gradually deepened. I found her inner perseverance and hard work admirable. After working overtime at night, she was still able to maintain her strong enthusiasm for Xi, and used her spare time to prepare for the public exam every day*** Her perseverance and determination made me feel sincerely admired.
In the process of preparing for the exam, Xiaoyu encountered many difficulties, but she always faced them with an optimistic attitude. She said: "Life is not easy, and in order to change the status quo, it is necessary to work hard. Even if it didn't work out, at least I tried. "Her positive attitude became a beacon of light to my soul.
It's finally exam day. Xiaoyu has always maintained a calm state of mind. We met at a café. We talked about work, life, and dreams. When the exam results were announced, Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with tears. She told me that she had passed the civil service and had successfully entered the system. I couldn't be happier for her.
