The "mattress culture" once admired by Huawei can be said to be a typical example of "overtime culture". In the article "How long can Huawei's red flag last", there is a passage: When we embarked on this road and had no choice, we paid a high price, and our senior leaders sacrificed their health for it. Later people are still working hard to be the best in the industry. When the Minister of Commerce of Saudi Arabia came to visit, he found mattresses everywhere on the cabinets in our office. Then he brought all his entourage in and listened to us explain what this mattress was for. He believes that a country should have the spirit of struggle if it wants to become rich. Struggle needs persistence from generation to generation.

In this passage, there is a pride of China people everywhere: it is worthwhile to sacrifice for the enterprise and the country.

It can be said that this is the heritage of thousands of years of traditional culture in China: the interests of the collective are always higher than those of the individual. However, doesn't the collective interest represent the interests of all? Regrettably, when we overemphasize the collective interests, the individual interests have actually been put on hold. After the karoshi incident in Hu Xinyu was exposed, all parties blamed Huawei and mattress culture. In some people's eyes, Huawei seems to have become a "modern landlord" who exploits employees. Is Huawei, which created the myth of China's communication industry, really so unbearable? Ren published the article "Heaven rewards diligence" in the company's internal magazine "Huawei Man", which responded positively to the criticism of the outside world for the first time-"You must persist in your efforts for a long time, or you will die"-mattress culture can't be lost!

It seems that the information industry is gradually transforming into a traditional industry with low gross profit margin and scale. The merger and integration that telecom equipment manufacturers have carried out and will carry out is just to meet this challenge. Huawei is still relatively weak and faces many difficulties. To survive and develop, we can only use what others think is "stupid", and that is hard work. The mattress culture is a typical example of this spirit of hard struggle. How can it be discarded?

From the company's point of view, Ren's statement may be correct. But we see that this is an excuse to put the development of the enterprise first, and the personal interests of employees must be sacrificed for the development of the enterprise.

According to this statement, we have reason to believe that those low-tech and low-profit processing enterprises have more reason to develop "overtime culture". Because their profits are lower, their situation is more unstable. In order for the enterprise to continue to exist, they depress workers' wages and extend workers' working hours, which is naturally correct from the perspective of the enterprise.

This obviously distorts the original intention of our work. The reason why people work hard is to enjoy life better. If you are busy with work every day and work for work's sake, then work will lose its meaning. There is no denying that some people are born workaholics. In order to reach a higher realm of life, they can give up all their lives and put …
