Why do you feel that many young people newly recruited by government agencies are generally unwilling to write materials?

My friend is now the head of a department. He told me that writing materials is not a hot job now. Young people are not stupid and naturally don't want to do thankless things.

I happened to have dinner with my friend recently, so I asked him about his recent work, because my friend has just been promoted from the post of director of county market supervision bureau to the post of secretary of urban street office, and the working environment has changed. As a newcomer, I should be a little uncomfortable. I also want to care about him and find a way together. I saw my friend sigh and told me that he really has a trouble now, that is, he can't find someone to write materials, so he has to write a lot of materials himself.

I'm really a little surprised. It stands to reason that there should be many people writing materials in the system, because writing materials can be improved, which is also a recognized skill, so there should be many people willing to write materials. A friend said that the day after he went to the street, Lao Liu, who used to write materials in the office, found him and asked him to be transferred from the post of writing materials. A friend asked him why. He said that he was over forty and was in poor health. There are many things at home, and the children go to school and the old man goes to the hospital. He has nothing to pursue. He just wants to settle down and doesn't want to stay up late to write a manuscript.

Since Liu made such a direct request, his friends could only agree to his request and transfer him from his writing post. Later, his friend had to write the materials himself. Only then did I remember that my friend's street recruited four new people this year, two civil servants and two career editors. There will always be young people who can slowly train and learn to write. Although kung fu was not enough at first, the hotter the better. So I asked my friend, why not arrange a young man to write a manuscript, even if it is almost nothing, just cultivate it slowly.

My friend said that he thought so, too, but I didn't expect that none of the four new youths could write materials. At first, he arranged for a boy to be a secretary in the office. As a result, the boy actually said directly that he didn't want to write, which made his friends a little embarrassed and even directly dissatisfied with his arrangement, but he was helpless. The boy is a professional editor and a local. It seems that he just wants to work simply. His friend had no choice but to give him another position.

Later, my friend arranged a female civil servant to be responsible for writing. The girl didn't say no explicitly, but she could see reluctance. She told her friends that her writing level was not good, and neither were her writing materials. Her friend thinks it's okay to exercise while writing, so her friend encourages her. As a result, what happened later was really unpredictable. The material written by that girl is so poor that it can't be used directly. She wrote it several times and didn't promote it at all, so she had to adjust it again. Later, my friend tried several candidates, but they were unwilling to write materials, and finally they went away.

Actually, I'm confused. Why don't young people like to write materials now? You know, in the past, writing materials was definitely a way of rapid progress. Friends are born from written materials. At that time, because they wrote materials well in towns and villages, they were valued by the county government office and directly transferred to the government to write materials. After a few years, they were promoted to be the deputy director of the government office and wrote materials directly to the big leaders. Later, before the big leader took it away, he had to go further. I became the director of a commission bureau, and then I went back to the most important street in the county as a secretary step by step. The future is bright, so in our opinion, although writing materials is a little harder, it is also rewarded accordingly.

Then I further communicate with my friends. He told me that today's young people are not stupid, and the situation has indeed changed. Young people also know that writing materials is hard. The most important thing is that writing materials can no longer be a channel for rapid progress as before, and sometimes it will be a great responsibility, so no young people are willing to write materials.

In the past, every unit in the system had an awesome person named penholder, who was responsible for writing for the leaders, and basically left other work alone. His duty is to write reports, summaries and all kinds of news, so that leaders can get very good results in reports and speeches. It can be said that a unit has a good pen, even if it is working.

This pen will never be abused. Everyone knows how important it is to write good materials. Therefore, leaders attach great importance to talents who write materials. Usually it will be the director or deputy director of the office soon. Then, if there is an opportunity, the leader will be promoted and will want to take this pen with him. Because it is still very important to go to a new unit to write materials, there will be a saying that work is not to be done, but to write. So in the past, people with a little knowledge would want to write materials, because this is really a way of progress.

One is to know the bitterness of writing materials. In the past, the information was relatively blocked. Many newcomers don't know the hard work of writing materials, and then they fall into this set. The deeper they write, the more they can't write. In the end, I became a pen, and I could only stay up late to write materials every day, which ruined my health and neglected my family. At that time, so many people were forced to write materials because they didn't know how deep the water was.

But it's different now. With the development of the Internet, more and more people share their experiences of writing materials online, most of which are painful, and all the pains of writing materials are completely written online, so it is easy for young people now to understand that some materials are not an easy job, so they naturally have resistance. With this preconceived resistance, no one wants to write materials.

Second, writing materials is really out of fashion now. In the past, everyone liked to write materials, because being promoted quickly was a shortcut to progress and was more valued by leaders. Although writing materials now can sometimes be valued by leaders, it is far from what it used to be. Moreover, judging from the people who have been promoted and reused now, simply engaging in writing can no longer meet the needs of progress. Most of the people who can be promoted now are those who are engaged in important business positions. Therefore, the era of writing the world with a pen has passed.

Third, the material is really difficult to write now. The materials in the past were much better, because most routines were universal, and the requirements for materials at that time were lower, and they were not so standardized now. As long as they are beautifully written and some people make amazing remarks, they can be called a good article. At present, the requirements for words are mostly detailed. You know, a refined article is definitely much more difficult than an article read backwards, and now the requirements for materials are higher and the format is more formal.

One more thing, in the past, many materials were not online, which means that some materials can be referenced, which makes it possible to say that there are some shortcuts when writing materials, even if there are mistakes, it is not such a big problem, but times are different now. Basically, all kinds of report materials will be online. Once mistakes or quotations are found, it will cause an uproar. Now there are often such news in the evening, and so are the materials.

It is indeed a fact that young people are unwilling to write materials now, and it is also related to young people's more free career outlook. This result is mixed. The good side can make new employees pay more attention to practical work, and the bad side is that desk work may have to be put down again. However, everything is not absolute. There will always be people who like writing, and there will always be people who can become new pens and carry forward writing.

Chairman Mao personally wrote articles, speeches, telegrams and notification documents. Why do leaders need secretaries to do it for them now? Is the current leader busier than Chairman Mao? In fact, writing articles, documents and materials is a process of thinking. In this process, we must clear our thinking, be clear in logic and distinguish between right and wrong, so that we can know what we have done, what we have not done, what we have done right and what we have not done in place. Only through this process can leaders know what to do. After the secretary finished writing, she read it carefully and completely forgot.

Don't you want to write? You can't write! Writing materials is really beyond the ability of ordinary people, and it takes too much brains!

This is indeed an objective phenomenon at present. In short, it is of little use.

First, the younger generation is more active in thinking, not interested in desk work, and even "despises" this seemingly "flashy" written work-but is it really useless to write materials? In fact, good materials can really play a role in summing up and improving progress ... But the problem is that the current work style is becoming less and less solid, and most of the materials are processed mechanically-the original role of materials has been discounted-can this make young people who have just arrived here "respect"?

Second, subject to some new rules, "secretaries" often can't keep up with the promotion of their clients-leaders, and to some extent they are discouraged.

Third, friends who write materials are generally in the general department, and these units still have a "position" in the core departments such as the organization department, because they are "at the core" after all, and the "core leadership" of these departments is important. Everyone looks at the Buddha rather than the monk and relatively supports the work of the general department ... But in some government departments, especially in places where business work is already busy on weekdays, business departments "frequently ask for all kinds of data" for the general department. In addition, the top leaders of these units are not in the "core" of the higher party committees, and people generally have "vulgar" ideas ... To sum up, most friends in government departments might as well go to a business department "nine to five" instead of offending people.

Fourth, individual units don't have high requirements for writing, and cats and dogs can do it, which also makes some people less keen on "carving" words-naturally there are a lot fewer workers in this field.

Fifth, writing is a hard job-it takes a lot of time, often sitting for a long time, which is very bad for your health-now the salary is so much, and there is almost no difference between doing more and doing less. Besides, a unit doesn't need much to write materials. If you don't do it, you will find someone capable. There is no need to spend personal health in exchange for a position that was very popular in the past. Now there is little hope.

Of course, there are many reasons, even the reason why "old comrades" are unwilling to train a "new comrade" to take over temporarily-not to mention teaching disciples to starve their masters.

Generally speaking, the "bonus" that can be brought before writing materials is decreasing sharply, and young people are active in thinking and careful in calculating-when the input and output are out of proportion, they will naturally not do it. ...

As for some people who say they won't do it because they won't, this is a bit inappropriate. Who will write profound, logical and gorgeous materials when taking part in the work? I can say responsibly that any master who writes materials now has always been polished bit by bit, and no one writes materials as soon as he takes part in the work-is the role of materials still as important as in the new era? This is really worth thinking about. ...

The young man thought, why should I write your speech? ! I wrote baldness, and the limelight is yours. Do I have any credit?

In addition, if there is a meeting, you (the leader) will talk, and if you can't talk, don't talk. Let me write a draft in advance, and you can read it. Isn't this a bluff? It seems that you have many levels, but in fact they are all lies. I hate pretending.

They don't know that your drafting materials can be smuggled. Speak your mind, no one will help you at work. If you let the leader have the final say and arrange it for you, the benefits are only clear to you.

The level of speech cannot be achieved overnight. It is a rare one-on-one tutoring to have the opportunity to give you hands-on guidance. If you want to be promoted, you must first have real skills. I can't do outreach reception, and I don't want to do office copy. What, wait for God to enjoy the food! If you don't have a background as a springboard, you can do it honestly and be a good character. Colleagues can see that you are not a good person, and you can get a few more excellent votes, so you feel a little sense of existence.

Look at the unit atmosphere and leadership style. I have been a pen container in the army for fifteen years, and I think there is nothing wrong with it. Working overtime is a bit bitter, but a poor child from a laid-off worker's family can become a department-level cadre in his early 30 s. Without his father's efforts, he can only work hard. Of course, I am also glad that I met a good leader and didn't treat honest people badly. A scholar who died for his bosom friend probably said this kind of leadership.

Frankly speaking, writing materials is a chore!

Writing materials is like a chef. According to the taste of the main leaders, both sweet and salty can pass, especially to satisfy the team members.

From my thirties to my retirement, I took code words as my main business and served many leaders, but I was also a business leader. Relatively speaking, it is relatively easy to pass the customs, but if I am a government department, it will be more standardized and difficult, because I have worked in the government department for more than a year after retirement.

Especially when writing materials, I often stay up late, but the day is not as quiet as the night, so writing materials is a chore!

Everyone is willing to do some specific work, but they are unwilling to write materials, which is exhausting.

Speaking of writing materials, I instinctively refused, but the leader said that writing materials can quickly improve myself and quickly master the business under the jurisdiction of the department. I believed the leader's words and wrote materials silently for three years. The leader is right. I really learned about most of the department's business soon, but that's all, because knowing more is not a good thing.

When I first entered the office, my elder sister, who was in charge of taking care of me, asked me to help me write the materials. I should have done it once or twice. After all, she was a senior and was responsible for arranging work for me, and I didn't refuse.

Who knows that she told the leader about it, and the leader gave me the job of writing materials, and I was shocked at that time. Why? This job is undivided! Who wants to participate in the business, who will write! If you set the rules like this, I won't be a professional writer and I have to write materials for the department.

Because of this, the leaders also held a small meeting. The content of the meeting is the personnel business adjustment within the department. After all, I just came here and need to assign some work. However, what I didn't expect was that the department added another job, that is, writing materials, and the leader gave it to me.

When it comes to writing materials, it is actually easy to understand, that is, compiling some work summaries, report materials, speeches, meeting minutes and so on for the department.

I remember when I first started writing materials, my sister took care of me and pointed it out to me personally, especially the monthly meeting minutes, which needed to be reported and not sloppy.

When I first started writing the minutes of the regular meeting, because I was not familiar with it, my sister asked every organ manager who spoke to put his speech into words and then sent it to me for me to make a summary.

After writing it, I sent it to my sister, and then my sister marked it in red after revising it, so that I could revise it according to her requirements. In this way, I have experienced two or three times! She told me, well, just write the minutes of the meeting according to this standard in the future. I'm officially on my way!

She used to be the person in charge of reporting the minutes of the regular meeting. Now that the leader has given it to me, she is much more relaxed.

As an official, it is common to write materials, especially at the end of the year. It's really crazy I'm really curious. What's the use of writing so much material?

It's the end of the year. I wonder if your company will also prepare a year-end summary? Anyway, our company is basically doing this work now, including year-end summary, next year's plan, system revision, work report and personal annual work summary. ...

As a writer of the department, I have the opportunity to attend many meetings, so I know all the big and small things happening in the department, which makes me a pivotal figure in the department. If I am not "young", I may become the technical leader of the department! But it was robbed by a red man around the leader!

Although there was no promotion, the leader came to me first and asked me for a plan. Who let me know all the business of the department? Even the leader of this technical team is no exception. He often comes to my office for help. Therefore, I became a "good person" in the department.

I once attended a company-level meeting with my leader. I recorded the contents of the meeting according to my own habits. I didn't find anything special during the whole meeting. I thought it was just an ordinary meeting.

Back in the office, I also habitually turned on the computer, sorted out the minutes of this meeting, numbered them, put them in the "minutes of the meeting" folder and handed them over to the leaders.

At this point, my task of attending the meeting was completely completed, so I put down my work and went to do other work.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the manager who presided over the last meeting suddenly wanted to check the minutes of the last meeting. This happened suddenly, because in the past, whenever the manager had a meeting, he would send a meeting record to the leaders of all departments after the meeting, asking them to do it according to the requirements of the meeting record. However, I didn't go this time!

This can make the leaders of all departments anxious. After all, according to their previous work habits, they don't keep records themselves, and the manager doesn't send them. Where can we get the meeting minutes?

So at the weekly summary meeting on Friday afternoon, the manager criticized the department leaders who had no meeting records. But the leader of our department is not among them, because I recorded a copy for him.

So the leader praised me at an early meeting afterwards. Of course, there are some encouraging words, such as: work hard, you are excellent, and the future of the company belongs to you young people. ...

I'm embarrassed to hear that! What age is this? Is it still useful to draw pie?

Once, the leader asked me to write a speech, which needed to be written from the perspective of the leader. It's urgent. I received the notice at one o'clock in the afternoon and finished it at two o'clock in the afternoon. I will send it to the leader!

Faced with such an urgent task, I also started quickly, but only if I knew what the speech was about.

So I went to the leader to ask what was going on. The leader told me that it was an accident a few days ago and asked me to write a speech on accident analysis and matters needing attention.

Knowing the purpose, I also finished the first draft quickly. I want to revise it and send it to the leader. Unexpectedly, at this time, the leader came to my office and asked me if I had finished writing.

I told the leader that the first draft has just been completed and has not been checked yet. The leader said in a hurry, then send it to me! So I sent the first draft to the leader and asked him to revise it to prevent typos.

This is really like Murphy's law. The more you worry about something, the more likely it will happen. The leader sent the speech to the manager before revising it.

Why is there a typo when the leader is in a meeting and the manager reads the speech? The manager was angry at how such an obvious mistake could have occurred in such a high-end meeting.

The leader was directly criticized at the meeting, but he didn't reply. He accepted the criticism silently. Who knows the manager didn't want to stop here, so he temporarily added a company regulation, that is, if there is a typo in the submitted documents, 50 yuan will be deducted from the department, which will be borne by all the staff of the department and deducted from the employee bonus.

The leader told me about it when he came back from the meeting, and asked me to pay attention to it when writing materials in the future. Alas! I didn't expect a typo to set off a wave in the company. Think of me when someone is criticized for this in the future!

Entering the office and workplace, the materials written are not fabricated out of thin air, but written according to the internal situation of the company. Young people have just joined the company, and they don't know the internal situation of the office or the rules and regulations of the company at all. How to write them? If they just look for some relevant information online, it will be incompatible with the company's system and finally rewritten. This is why young people don't want to write materials.

1, I don't know the company's rules and regulations, and I don't know how to start.

Writing materials is not an easy task, although some veterans can do it with a pen, which is done on the premise of being familiar with the company's rules and regulations. If it is written by a young person who has just entered the workplace, it is like building a castle in the air, and there is no way to start!

2. Writing materials is not a simple job, and many young people who just joined the job simply can't.

Writing materials seems simple, but it is not. Many people don't understand the difficulty of writing materials. If they want to write a good document in the office, they need to have a detailed understanding of the company's system. In addition, they also need to know the speaking habits of company leaders and the styles that leaders admire.

Without these things as a basis, the materials you wrote will inevitably be typed back and rewritten.

Just like a teacher correcting homework. The last thing that young people want to encounter is the situation of doing homework as students again in their careers.

3. Writing materials is a job that can't produce practical results.

Young people value practical results most. If you don't get a certain reward for completing one thing, then young people are unwilling to take over. Writing materials is a job that cannot be "rewarding".

But the leaders don't think so. Leaders believe that young people can quickly understand the company's system and leaders' preferences by writing materials. So you can quickly integrate into the company!

But young people think that writing materials can't get visible benefits, and they think it is a thankless job. For these nihilistic things, they think it is a pie painting, and they simply disdain it.

Writing materials is a mental work.

Writing materials in the workplace is not an easy task, because it has certain pertinence. For example, materials written by power plants are not used in construction companies, but they will be more targeted when they enter the office of a company. It may take time and energy to find a reference, but in the end you may not learn anything, which requires a lot of energy, so young people will instinctively refuse.

In fact, writing company internal materials requires a detailed understanding of the company's rules and regulations. How can you have such a foundation when you just joined the company?

Young people don't want to write materials, which is not desirable. If there is an opportunity, you can still take over this job, because you can master the company's rules and regulations and work habits by writing materials. When you can write a material easily, you will be considered an old hand in the company's workplace.

As a young person entering the workplace, writing materials is a good way to quickly integrate into the company. If you are good at writing materials, you will soon come into contact with leaders and enter the vision of leaders, then your career future will be smoother.

Writing materials is a recognized chore. Nine out of ten young people who are newly employed are unwilling to write. Why don't you want to write? The fundamental reason is that the return you pay is large and the cost performance is extremely low. As for the specific reasons, listen slowly.

First, I can't write. Writing materials is different from writing articles. It has a special style, style and style. To write materials, the first task is to be familiar with the formats of various materials. Format is just the simplest thing to write materials. What is really difficult is the content. You need to be familiar with the relevant work, and the written materials can be rich. This can't be done in a short time. It must be accumulated for a long time. It is best to have at least five years of experience in one place and be familiar with all aspects in order to write good materials.

Of course, the above materials are still realistic, and there are practical things. It is better to write after you get started. The most difficult thing is the material, which is really written out of thin air. If you want to write well, it is impossible without more than five years of exercise.

So many people really can't write materials, and what they write is completely useless, so naturally they don't want to write.

Second, I don't want to write. Writing materials is a hard job, and you have to endure it. This kind of cooking is not the kind of cooking on the bench, but white plus black, five plus two. Think about it. One weekend, you finally found time to go out with your family and children. I just got a call when I went out, saying that there would be an emergency meeting or reception tomorrow, and I asked to speak. What would you do? I can only say sorry to my family and children and go back to work overtime. If all goes well, I can still go home at eleven or twelve in the evening. If it doesn't go well, I'll have to stay up late.

As for young people, it is even worse. Once you get the job of writing materials, you have to eat and live in the unit. The reason for leadership is also very simple. You are still young and not dragged down by your family. It's time to sprint and make sacrifices.

Better leaders will also give some compensation, such as getting an overtime meal for everyone. Leaders who can't be human will really make you burn yourself. Complaining will give you a hat that you don't know about sacrifice and dedication. There are even young people who have no time to find a partner because of overwork, and they are still single in their thirties. Young people are not stupid, they can fool people at first, and then whoever does it is stupid.

Third, the cost performance is low. For most people in the system, work hard for progress. But the reality is very complicated, and there are many factors that can be improved. Doing more is just one of them, not even the decisive factor.

After young people entered the unit, they found that the old comrades in the unit had been writing materials for more than ten years, devoted their youth, neglected their families, neglected their wives and children, and even collapsed. Finally, I still stood still, perhaps just praised by leaders and colleagues as the "pen" in the unit. Is this the result that young people want? Of course not. With the old comrades in front as role models, young people will naturally not believe the pie of leadership and will avoid writing materials.

In short, young people who can be admitted to civil servants may be simple, but they will never be stupid, and they all have their own names in their hearts. I think it is a good thing that young people are unwilling to write materials. To some extent, our country recruits so many young people into the system every year in the hope that young fresh blood can change some chronic diseases. For people in the industry, everyone is very clear about writing materials.

Just like the company was forced to carry out institutional changes after entering the workplace after 90 s and 2000 s. Young people in the system are reluctant to write materials, hoping to force a new atmosphere.
