What are the misconceptions of the parents and parents-in-law of their previous generation about our current work status?
What parents think is the intensity of work VS what we actually do!
In the eyes of our older generation, we don't need the wind or rain to work, we just sit in the office, drink tea and read the newspaper, how easy it is.
They think that physical work is tiring like they used to, but they never think that mental work is really exhausting.
Parents understand sitting in the office VS actually we sit in the office
In the eyes of our parents, we just sit in the office drinking tea and chatting, reading the newspaper, and dealing with simple things.
In fact, we sit in front of the computer from morning to night, and cervical spondylosis and anxiety have never been better! I was so busy in the office all day long that I flew up, and I was scolded by the leader.
Parents think the degree of freedom we work VS the freedom we actually work time
In our parents' time, the workers were supreme, and if they wanted to leave, if they took the lead in making trouble, the factory director had to kneel down and beg them! So they think we're available as well.
In fact, the boss will not approve your fake at all, and you insist on leaving? Okay, then "do it if you want to, if you don't want to do it, you can leave!" ”
Parents think our salary income VS actual salary income
In the eyes of Mom and Dad, we make 5,000 yuan outside, and we have to save 4,000 yuan!
In fact, I earn 5,000 yuan, I have to pay 1,500 yuan in rent, spend 2,000 yuan on food, and buy cosmetics, clothes, entertainment, transportation, ...... In fact, there is not much money left!
Do you think that our previous generation is more tired of doing manual work, or is it more tiring for the current generation to be a part-time worker?
