What exactly is involution?

The original intention of involution refers to the phenomenon that human society stagnates or cannot be transformed into another advanced model after reaching a certain form at a certain stage of development. When social resources can't meet everyone's needs, people compete for more resources.

Through the Internet, many college students use it to refer to irrational internal competition or "voluntary" competition. Now it refers to the phenomenon that peers compete for limited resources and make more efforts, which leads to the decline of individual "income-effort ratio"

Dealing with involution in the workplace:

First, we must first choose the right industries, choose those industries that have not entered the involution, and join those enterprises that have not yet entered the involution.

Second, what if we have fallen into the involution industry and have no choice for the time being? This really entered the state of having to compete. In this case, it can only raise the cost of competitors. Take, for example, having to work overtime passively and call 996.
