The untold truth of the workplace
Stepping into the workplace is like stepping into a fog of the unknown. In this fog, we not only have to face the pressure and challenges of work, but also deal with all kinds of unknown ups and downs. Today, let's unveil the mystery of the workplace and explore the truth of the workplace that laymen don't know.
1. The "pit" on the road to job hunting
Information asymmetryIn the process of job hunting, many job seekers often fall into the dilemma of information asymmetry. Many job postings often only show the glamorous side of the company, while hiding many unknown secrets, such as overtime culture, workplace PUA, etc. Therefore, job seekers need to be vigilant and understand more than one person when choosing a position and company to avoid stepping into the "pit".

Empirical discrimination: There is empirical discrimination in certain industries and positions. Some recruiters tend to focus only on the candidate's experience and ignore their potential and ability to learn. This has led to many job seekers being turned away due to lack of experience and missing out on the opportunity to present themselves.

2. Dismantling hot topics in the workplace
PUA phenomenonThe :p UA (pick-up artist) phenomenon is not uncommon in the workplace. Some workplace veterans use words and techniques to manipulate new hires or subordinates to achieve their own ends. For this phenomenon, we should keep a clear mind, learn to distinguish the true from the false, and not be confused by PUA.

996 working system: In recent years, the 996 work system (a six-day, six-day, nine-hour or more workday) has become a hot topic of discussion in the workplace. This work regime not only deprives employees of rest time, but can also have a serious impact on their physical and mental health. We should pay attention to this issue and call on enterprises to respect the rights and interests of employees and implement a reasonable work system.
