Thoughts on taking the elevator in the morning rush hour

Colleague Xiao C told me that the human resources department of the unit informed us to take the elevator in a civilized way during the rush hour.

The cause of the incident is that our unit requires to go to work at 8: 30 on time. Every day from 8: 20, the elevator entrance is crowded with people. Although the single and double-deck shunt setting is scientific, everyone doesn't mind whether they can squeeze into the elevator and be closer to their office floors.

Some employees who are late don't take the usual route. They walked from the stairwell to the second and third floors, and then took the elevator down to the first floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, fewer people lined up to squeeze in.

Many colleagues complain that they can't be so uncivilized, and they can't take the elevator in the opposite direction during rush hours, which is unfair to people who come to the queue early. But some people find that complaining doesn't work, and "retrograde" is really a shortcut, so they just shut up and join the "retrograde" team silently. It was not until more and more people crowded at the elevator entrance and more and more people complained that the unit issued this notice, advocating that everyone should not "go backwards" and queue up in the elevator in a civilized way.

The problem of taking the elevator in the morning rush hour has always existed in the unit, and it has not been completely changed because of a notice. But this "difficulty" is never a problem for some people. For example, I always arrive at my work place at least half an hour in advance, take an empty elevator to the office floor leisurely, then clean up my work station leisurely and enter my work ahead of time in a quiet environment. It was not until working hours that the office building began to heat up. After waiting several times, we finally got on the elevator. As soon as I squeezed into the elevator, I was forced to quit waiting because I couldn't get on the elevator and was afraid of being late for jogging. Everyone began to "denounce" the elevator that is difficult to take, but this scene seems to be repeated every day and everyone is used to it. Nobody wants to change.

In this case, it's best to shut up and watch the play, and don't make any pertinent suggestions. If you suggest that so many people are waiting to walk up, take some exercise. Someone will say at once that you are in good health and I can't walk. Too many stairs hurt your knees ... if you propose to come to work early, there will be no traffic jams and elevators will not be crowded. Some people shake their heads and smile bitterly, and even cause a "criticism." I worked late last night and couldn't get up this morning; I've been working too hard recently and haven't got enough sleep. There are too many things in the morning, and the elderly and children at home have to wait on them; The distance is too far, riding a bike and subway can guarantee not to be late; The road is too blocked, just make sure you're not late ... it's okay to go upstairs and climb the stairs and get up early, but there are so many obstacles ahead, it's a dream.

In the adult world, there are too many "have to" and too many difficulties. If you don't do something, there will always be hundreds of reasons to support it. But if you do something, you don't need any reason, just think that it will make you better, then you will take the initiative to do it.

Indeed, if you don't want to climb the stairs, can't get up early and go out, and complain about the pain of taking the elevator every day, it doesn't matter, just because you don't really feel "bitter". When one day you really can't stand it, choose to get up early to avoid the morning rush hour and walk the stairs, then the elevator is still the elevator, and the problem is still the same, but it has nothing to do with you. That's what I thought. It's good to get up early and go out early. The weather is not hot, the roads are not blocked and the elevators are not crowded.
