Are you willing to work overtime during Chinese New Year?

Mondo Workplace Updated on 2024-02-09

I work in logistics, and there is a young man in our dormitory who interns in our unit. I asked him why he didn't go home for the Chinese New Year. He told me that he was not married, that he had no wife and children, and that it was not interesting to go back. It's better to work overtime, triple the salary every day and a bonus.

And another colleague's eldest sister also chose to work overtime to make money during the Spring Festival, because she had a very bad relationship with her family, and she felt that there was no topic to talk about when she went back, and she couldn't talk about it.

A considerable number of people will choose to stay and work overtime during the Spring Festival, because during the Spring Festival, they can get thousands of dollars more than a month if they work overtime three times their salary, which is a lot of income and can solve a lot of living expenses.

There are also some people who choose to stay and work overtime because they are not married or have a bad time outside. After going back, I have to face the questioning of the seven aunts and eight aunts, and if the villagers mix better than themselves, they will embarrass themselves. Because of this mentality, I felt that staying and working overtime was the best choice.

If it were you, would you choose to work overtime during the Spring Festival or go back to your hometown for the New Year, after all, everyone's situation is different, and everyone is welcome to actively participate in the interaction.
