What do you think of the four-hour work, despair of life, and the drift to the north with time for meager wages?

First-tier cities have good infrastructure, good social and educational resources, many visible dreams, and a fairer social and employment environment, where the ridiculed dreams can be tolerated. First-tier cities have endless attraction to young people, and developing into first-tier cities is also one of the choices for many people to find jobs. They have good expectations for life and work in first-tier cities, but the reality is always cruel.

Although the first-tier cities are tolerant and can accommodate the dreams of every ordinary person, they also have a 996 universal overtime system. There is also a day's work that can't be done, and there is also a day's price and rent. But what is more distressing than these is that the commuting time in big cities, after working for a long time, will realize that compared with the long commute, 996 and overtime are nothing new.

The average commute time to work in Beijing is 56 minutes. What do these 56 minutes mean to many people? It means that you need to get up at least 1.5 hours every morning to get to the subway. If you live a little farther from the subway station, you have to get up for work 2-3 hours in advance. Most of the time in Beipiao is that you spend almost one-third of your time on your way to work or home from work. Why not choose to live in the subway station?

Although I am in a first-tier city, with most people's wages and living standards, I have no financial strength to pay the rent. I can't afford to live near, so I can only live far away. Everyone is exchanging time for money, and a few hours wasted on the way to work may cost half of the rent. First-tier cities have a fast pace of life. For everyone, the importance of working hours can be imagined, but they have no choice and no power. Among most office workers, their time value is not expensive enough to move to a house near the subway, because after all, most people's salary is only about 3000-4000 yuan a month.

Compared with working overtime in 996 and being scolded by the boss, spending a lot of time on the road really makes many North drifters feel helpless. I read a news before that an office worker goes to work across cities, and the daily working time is four hours. The first thing after work every day is to buy a high-speed rail ticket for tomorrow. It's quite a toss-up to think about it, but if there is a choice, who will make such a choice?

It is said that first-tier cities give people many opportunities for growth, which can make their abilities grow rapidly and tap their potential. However, under the background of long commuting, many people spend their time on the way to and from work, and few people can find time to improve themselves, let alone do what they want to do.

The fast-paced development of first-tier cities has largely obliterated the personal time of most office workers, and these obliterated personal time seems to be paid for work and dedicated to my own work. I get up early every day to get a better job, but in fact, these erased hours can't reflect the valuable contribution to my work, but even so, many people still believe that it is not worthless for me to get up early and come home late every day, as long as I work.

I don't have personal time, so I can fill my life with work, whether at work or on my way to work. I finally got off work, and I have to go home for a few hours, so I have no time to do what I like. There is a saying: in fact, it is very simple to destroy a person, that is, to leave him no time to grow up. The so-called lack of time for growth means that you spend all your energy and time on a job that only allows you to support your family. The work content is repeated day after day, so that your ability only stays at the level of coping with work and supporting yourself.

It may be cruel to say this, but this is the status quo of office workers in many first-tier cities. They are exhausted from dealing with their own work and have little time to do what they like and want to do. In fact, most people have no choice. If they have a choice, if they are not trying to support their families, who wants to look at the boss's face all day? The boss asked them to work overtime, so they worked overtime. Although the first-tier cities are cruel, many people still insist. The strength behind them comes from responsibility, from still being full of hope for life, and from cheering for strangers.
