今天你996了吗？

        你知道996是什么意思吗？996是一种工作时间，早上九点上班，晚上九点下班，也就是一天工作十二个小时；6指的是一个星期工作六天。有人说，996算什么呀，我的工作007呢！007，也就是晚上0点上班，晚上0点下班，一个星期工作七天，这意思就是每一分钟都在工作，没有下班时间！你可能要问，怎么可能会有007呢？还真有！下班时间突然收到同事的短信，吃饭的时候突然领导要求来个线上会议，睡觉的时候突然被电话吵醒做个PPT。没有明确的上班和下班时间，人不在公司却要随时拿出手机、电脑工作，这可不是007嘛！

       996和007指的都是一种加班文化。加班也就是在规定的上班时间之外增加的工作量。常常还没有加班费！在这种加班文化下，员工自嘲自己是“社畜”，“社”在日语里是“公司”的意思，“畜”是牲畜，也就是动物的意思，还得是那种为人类工作的动物才能叫做“畜”。唉，工作那么辛苦，就像一头为公司工作的畜牲一样，没有自己的生活，只能为公司卖命。

       那在中国，为什么有996这样的加班文化呢？我觉得有这么几点原因。

       先从自己身上找原因，可能员工的工作效率不高。996的十二个小时真的都在工作吗？不一定。中国大部分公司都有午休文化，中午的时间有两三个小时那么长。工作时间和同事聊聊天、说说话，吃吃点心，玩玩手机，时间就在摸鱼之中过去了。“摸鱼”这个词来自“浑水摸鱼”，原来的意思是在不干净的水里，鱼看不清楚方向，这时候摸鱼更容易，可以得到意外的好处；现在“摸鱼”这个词就是偷懒、不认真工作的意思。所以可能在公司呆的时间很长只是因为做事情太慢，效率太低。

      再从文化上找找原因。老板不走，员工也不敢走；同事不走，我也不敢走。这是一种攀比和从众的文化：好像我比你留下来的时间更长，我就工作得更努力，这就是攀比，在不好的方面和别人比较；别人都没离开，我也得和大家一样，不能一个人离开，这就是从众，和大多数人做一样的事情。所以啊，大家就越留越晚，在办公室的时间越来越长，谁都不敢按时下班离开。

       当然啦，加班文化下，老板和公司也有很大的问题。可能老板喜欢开一些没有意义、浪费时间的会议；可能老板不能安排好工作计划，布置任务的时间不合理；可能是公司的文化鼓励大家多加班，把加班说成“福报”，把“加班”说成是幸运的机会。但是我认为，996和007，是一种低效率而且不尊重个人时间的行为。

       在你的公司有996吗？你觉得我们要怎么限制996的情况呢？欢迎留言分享你的观点。

According to LinkedIn's 2023 Workplace Learning Report, a staggering 94% of employees feel the need to continuously learn and adapt to thrive in their careers. This underscores the critical importance of proactive measures to mitigate job insecurity.

Business coaching is a powerful tool to deal with these challenges and enhance job security. By providing personalized guidance and support, business coaches help individuals develop the needed skills, mindset, and strategies.

A Harvard Business Review study found that employees with access to coaching are 87% more likely to achieve their goals. Coaches can identify skill gaps and create tailored development plans to enhance employability. By acquiring new skills and competencies, individuals become more adaptable and valuable to employers.

A clear career path is essential for job security. Coaches can assist in defining career goals and creating a roadmap to achieve them. 

LinkedIn data reveals that professionals with clear career paths are 30% more likely to be satisfied with their jobs.

Coaches offer mentorship and support, providing guidance on navigating organizational changes, building relationships, and overcoming challenges. 

A recent LinkedIn survey reported that 72% of employees believe mentorship is crucial for career advancement.

Through coaching, individuals can develop resilience, the ability to bounce back from setbacks and adapt to change. 

A study published in the Journal of Management found that resilient employees are less likely to experience job insecurity.

Coaches help individuals understand their strengths, weaknesses, values, and motivations. This self-awareness empowers them to make informed career decisions. 

LinkedIn data shows that employees with strong self-awareness are more likely to secure promotions and higher salaries.


A Gallup study found that engaged employees are 43% less likely to leave their jobs.
