A letter to white-collar workers in office buildings

When I was a student, my elders often told us that when you work in an office building, the wind will not blow, the rain will not fall, the sun will not shine, and it will be warm in winter and cool in summer. Friends around me also said that going to a big city to be a white-collar worker has high salary and many opportunities. ...

So the white-collar workers in the office building have become everyone's goal!

Now I graduated and went to the office building that my elders wanted. Go out early and come back late every day like most office workers. Occasionally work overtime or even stay up late, have a regular rest, the salary is not high or low, and the like.

But I have something unexpected to share:

Get up at 7: 20 every day, simply wash and dress up, go out at 8: 00, then buy breakfast quickly, and then start a queue trip outside the door. Sometimes I accidentally line up ten meters away and accidentally don't know how to play, from the first complaint to the last habit, because we are all the same.

Occasionally, "good luck" catches up with elevator maintenance, which is even more in short supply.

Every day, I will hear my partner behind me say: it's almost late to punch in at work, and you are still waiting in line. Be careful that your attendance is gone. Climb the stairs with me Whenever this time, I will secretly rejoice. Fortunately, it is a nail gun, which can be operated downstairs.

Commuters can be roughly divided into four categories: ground floor elevators, high-rise elevators, freight elevators and stairs climbing.

Security guards come to squat regularly every day, holding walkie-talkies and making noise everywhere. Fortunately, they brought big electric fans to drive away sweat for everyone in the scorching sun. However, the abuse around us is inevitable. "The elevator is broken, why not repair it? What a waste of property fees. I don't know how many elevators to install ... "

I've been here for half a year, and I've tried various ways to go up and down the stairs. The most unforgettable time was waiting for the elevator for nearly 20 minutes, but it was still hopeless, so I climbed the 19 floor.

Every floor is difficult to walk. I was accompanied at first. Later, I walked away and arrived. Then I walked up. Some people are playing with their mobile phones, eating breakfast, or burying their heads in smoking. My legs and feet are numb and sweaty. Colleagues are used to greeting each other: good morning! I didn't have to. I just laughed it off.

I went to eat at noon the other day, and the elevator finally got up after waiting for a long time. There happened to be several hungry food delivery staff inside, and someone began to ask, "Is it quite profitable to deliver food in the office building now?" "The income is ok, but the safety is not guaranteed, the meal time is not fixed, and the complaint rate cannot be high." A little brother replied. "Oh, what can I say?" Then ask.

"We all use electric cars to deliver meals. Some have broken horns, and there are many red street intersections. During the rush hour, everyone is waiting for dinner. Many people also called to remind them. Some time ago, one of our colleagues turned the corner and was hit by a private car. Now people are still in the hospital. " He explained.

I remember going to eat after work, and happened to go to a small restaurant specializing in take-away. Half the room is full of boxes, and there is no serious big table. Because it was summer, I was too tired to go to work, so I really didn't want to leave, so I sat down and made myself at home.

Listening to the chat between the takeaway brother and the boss, I pricked up my ears as soon as I was interested. Now this industry is not very good, there is malicious competition among various takeaways, and the turnover rate is high. The food delivery rate is higher than 95%, otherwise I will be fined. Moreover, there are additional services, and guests often call to help buy cigarettes, drinks and even daily necessities.

I suddenly remembered that the video of the takeaway brother crying in the elevator before the online fire was probably the same.

Three meals a day are either ordering or taking out. There are several ordering softwares on the mobile phone, but I don't know what to eat when I choose. There is no distinction between liking and not liking.

Occasionally, I will go to the vegetable market at the entrance of the community to buy food, so I will go regularly when I am familiar with it, even if it is far away.

"Girl, you're off work. What do you want to eat today? " Uncle and aunt saw greetings from a distance.

"I don't know, what do you eat at night?" I asked.

"Eat leafy vegetables or fungi, they are very nutritious, and they also eat vegetables grown by local farmers, which contain less pesticides. Look at these local loofahs, sweet potatoes and tomatoes. " Uncle said.

"I like simple, leafy vegetables have to be washed many times, which is very troublesome; That kind of washing is fast and frying is more suitable for me. "

"Your body is important, simple food is not nutritious, and it is too much trouble to cook by yourself!" He said earnestly.

"I am very tired at work, and sometimes I am too lazy to move. It is convenient to order a takeaway or something. " I said.

"I don't know what kind of oil is used for takeaway, and I didn't see the process they made, so I ate unsanitary; Young people should also pay attention to their health. My daughter is not much older than you. She cooks by herself, which is delicious. The cold black fungus cooked at home last night was particularly delicious. When the water boils, pour in the black fungus, and then pour out the water. Finally, mix all kinds of ingredients evenly, which is very fragrant and delicious, and the potatoes made are also very good. " Uncle said proudly, aunt went on.

I had a nice chat. I bought food, sent out health knowledge, food collocation and life stories, so I became a repeat customer of their shop.

After eating all the "delicacies", I still feel that the simple tea at home is better.

We come from all over the country and are engaged in finance, internet, service and other industries. It is ideal to put it mildly, but in fact it is just to make a living and work in that enviable place.

Some friends around me are also working hard in various places. Recently, I heard some friends working in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen say that I didn't feel what a fast pace is until I went to the first-tier cities. It is normal to drive for nearly two hours a day, and overtime is the norm. The company has a special lounge. Catch up with the project, I will rest there, wake up and continue to work until the task is completed.

Going home for the New Year has become the envy of everyone. "It's good to mix in big cities. When you used to go to school ... now ... bring my children later. " Seven aunts and eight aunts often say.

Dress decently, but often feel pressure: whose performance exceeds who; The leader wants to talk to me, and if I do this again, I will be fired. I had a lot of ideas when I first graduated, but later I just went to work silently day after day.

Sometimes we have to interact with customers for performance: praise from friends, comments, even some relatives' names, and holiday greetings.

I often feel that my body is hollowed out, and my mental pressure is greater than my physical pressure.

Most white-collar workers live in the stereotype of others. In fact, they, like others, are sometimes even more difficult, because we want others to see our perfect side and are afraid of being laughed at.

A letter to white-collar workers working in office buildings, because they know that everyone is not easy and life is more difficult, but they will continue, so they are all fine.
