Another delay in resumption of work makes people devastated: If you want to go to work but can’t, these methods can “help yourself”!

In our past lives, there were always several problems that aroused everyone’s anger. For example, difficulty in finding a job and getting married are “chronic problems” that many people face. But another major problem that has appeared frequently recently is the difficulty of returning to work. Although some companies have begun to resume work in many regions across the country, is the resumption of work really as optimistic as we imagined?

On February 24, data released at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office showed that with the help of the government, the preliminary monitoring rate of resumption of work by small and medium-sized enterprises was close to 30%. In other words, at least half of the companies have not officially resumed work this week.

Moreover, there are many factors that make it difficult to resume work:

First, it is very difficult for companies to apply for local government permission to start work. It seems that those that can start construction are often large-scale companies or companies with very impressive development momentum. For some "little-known" companies, there are too few opportunities left for them. Moreover, as of this week, the spread of the epidemic has significantly slowed down. Most small, medium and micro enterprises are finding it difficult to purchase enough protective tools, and there is still a big gap between meeting the requirements for starting operations.

Second, many employees of major companies are still unable to reach their offices smoothly. In addition to employees in Hubei, many other regions have also closed down villages and cities amid the epidemic. Moreover, even if you return to your place of work, some communities will not easily let you go and will require you to self-isolate for more than 14 days.

The third problem is the difficulty in supporting the upstream and downstream industrial chains. Except for some industries such as Internet companies that can resume work normally, production companies cannot easily resume production. Even if your own company starts operations, but the upstream factories that provide raw materials are closed and no production occurs, or materials cannot come in due to different logistics, this cannot form a complete and normal production chain.

Therefore, it is not that these companies do not want to resume work, but because of restrictions from various factors, they want to resume work but cannot. After all, being able to start work one day earlier can reduce a lot of losses.

Not only major companies are anxious, but ordinary employees are also extremely anxious recently. Staying at home for so long makes people feel panicked. Seeing that friends around me have returned to work, I want to go to work but there is no one to go to. .

The delayed resumption of work after the Spring Festival has been delayed three times: the first time was when the State Council issued a notice extending the holiday to February 2, and companies could only start work on February 3 at the earliest. However, the number of infections continued to increase sharply in early February, and the company postponed the resumption date to February 10. The third delay is that employees across the country are required to quarantine for more than 14 days before they can resume work. Therefore, the company delayed the resumption of work for the third time to February 24.

The original plan for enterprises in Hubei Province to resume work no earlier than 24:00 on February 21st was also postponed again on the 23rd. Enterprises in Hubei Province were not allowed to resume work before March 10th.

Previously, netizens joked: There are still three days of Spring Festival holiday. When you wake up, there are still 6 days of holiday. If you sleep again, the holiday will become 13 days. If you sleep again, the company will be gone... But reality has proved that once What was considered a joke is slowly becoming a reality.

Some well-known large companies laid off employees and cut wages immediately after starting work, while companies with poor risk resistance directly filed for bankruptcy. Being able to work can at least prove that the job is safe for the time being and the company will not go bankrupt easily. However, the longer the resumption of work is delayed, the more uncertain people feel, "I am afraid that one day the company will not be able to survive." When the layoff list came out, I was willing to take a 20% pay cut. It was better than not being able to find a job.”

Some netizens are worried about the more realistic issue of supporting their families. Putting aside the worry of unemployment for now, no income for two or three months in a row has left many families struggling. When you have a normal income, the monthly car and mortgage payments are already overwhelming. During the Spring Festival, the family's expenses can only come from savings. If this situation continues, the family will be in trouble.

At this time, some people raised questions: Is it true that if you are married and have children, you only have that little savings and can’t survive half a year without a job? Sadly, this is the reality. Before this accident, no one could have imagined that a disease could have such a huge impact on the lives of people across the country. After all, the probability of a "black swan" happening is too small. In a peaceful life, people mostly spend money on cars, homes and children’s education, so when an accident occurs, even families with good financial conditions may not be able to come up with so much cash in a short period of time.

So, what should we do while at home?

The most important thing is to strengthen your abilities. Regardless of whether the epidemic will affect your work, you should not be decadent at home. The long time waiting at home is also an excellent opportunity to learn and improve yourself. After all, you rarely have the opportunity to have such a long period of time after work. Learn a technology that you can master and develop a part-time job that can generate income. Even if you lose your original job, you can find the next one as soon as possible.

At the same time, learn to manage money. I believe that through this epidemic, most people will also have a new understanding of their own wealth management: eggs cannot be placed in just one basket. If you can use part of the money for financial management and regenerate the money, even though the "income" may only be tens or hundreds of yuan a month, it will still be a considerable fortune in a year.

In short, accidents in life are always sudden and unpredictable. If we cannot change the macro environment, we must try our best to enhance our ability to resist risks. At the same time, we hope that through our sacrifice and dedication, the epidemic prevention work can be successfully completed and work and production can be resumed as soon as possible.
