Dancing in the office of public officials caused controversy, and netizens complained about "playing like this during working hours"
Can you imagine seeing a colleague dancing in the office? This kind of thing really happened in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province recently. A public official dancing the "horseshoe dada" dance in the office was photographed by a colleague and uploaded to the Internet, causing a lot of controversy. Some people think it's too off-putting, while others think it's okay to relax after work. Is this a dereliction of duty?
The office becomes a dance floor, and colleagues become "paparazzi"
Here's what happened, a few days ago, a video suddenly circulated on the Internet, showing a woman in formal clothes dancing the "horseshoe dada" dance in the office. The background is clearly the office environment of a government department, with official documents and computers on the desk. The woman danced quite devotedly, and her movements were quite standard.
As soon as the video came out, it immediately sparked heated discussions. Many netizens complained: "Is this going to work or dancing?" It's really amazing to play like this during working hours. Others said, "Just relax, why make a fuss."
The reporter contacted the local Letters and Visits Bureau about this matter, and the staff responded: "This is definitely not allowed, and we will report it to the relevant departments for investigation and handling."
It's a big deal, so let's have a good talk. First of all, this dancing public official probably didn't expect that he would be on the hot search as soon as he jumped casually.
She may just want to relax after work, but who knows that she was secretly photographed by a colleague. This colleague who made the video is also gossip enough, and when he sees the material, he wants to spread it out, and he doesn't think about how much trouble it will cause to others.
But then again, it's a bit inappropriate to do this kind of thing during working hours and in the workplace. What do you think, if a crowd comes to run errands and sees the staff dancing there, what should you think? Besides, public officials represent the image of the government, and they must pay attention to the impact of their every move.
Office Culture: Serious vs. Relaxed
In fact, this also reflects the question: is our office culture too rigid? Many people think that they have to be straight and meticulous in their work, and they can't even laugh. However, many foreign companies are different, they encourage employees to maintain a relaxed and happy mood at work, believing that this can improve work efficiency.
Google, for example, has slides, massage chairs, and allows employees to bring pets to work in their offices. They believe that happy employees are the most productive employees. But what about us? When it comes to work, it looks like a bitter and hateful, as if laughing is not doing business.
Of course, different national conditions and different cultures. After all, we are a large country with a large population, and the intensity of work is already high, and if we are too relaxed, it may really affect efficiency. But a little relaxation should still help to improve the enthusiasm for work, right?
The embarrassing situation of public officials
Speaking of this dancing public official, she is probably quite uncomfortable now. It was originally a casual jump, but I didn't expect to make such a big move. Now that there is a lot of scolding on the Internet, the job may not be saved. Do you think she was wronged?
In fact, it is not easy for public officials. On the one hand, everyone has very high requirements for them, and they can't wait to work 24 hours a day; On the other hand, their salaries are not high, and the work pressure is not small. Now that I am being exposed by people taking videos at every turn, I can't even relax, how can I live this day?
But then again, since you have chosen this job, you have to have this awareness. After all, it is taxpayers' money to pay salaries, and it is understandable to pay more attention to their words and deeds.
Cyber Violence: The Keyboard Man's
This also reflects another problem: online violence. As soon as the video came out, there was immediately a lot of scolding on the Internet. Some people say she "doesn't do her job", some say she "wastes taxpayers' money", and even people doxing her personal information.
Is this behavior really good? Are we being too others? Is it fair that a person's momentary mistake will be abused by the whole network?
Besides, there is so much fake news on the Internet now, what if the video is taken out of context? What if people are dancing after work? Have we ever thought that our momentary rapidity could ruin a person's life?
How do you balance work and life?
This actually reflects a larger question: how to balance work and life? In this society with serious involution, many people feel a lot of pressure. Work takes up most of the time of life, and there is not even time to relax.
So, what do we do? Is it possible to learn from foreign practices and add some light-hearted elements to your work? For example, do a five-minute stretch after an hour of work every day, or put some greenery in the office to create a comfortable environment.
Of course, this requires a change in the perception of society as a whole. We should not only pursue efficiency, but also pay attention to people's physical and mental health. After all, happy employees create greater value, don't they?
At the end of the day, the dancing public official can't be blamed entirely for this. Each of us has a need to relax, and the key is to grasp the scale and the occasion. Hopefully, this incident will provoke us to think about the work environment, the workplace culture, rather than simply condemning a person.
