Zhang Yuan told Zhang Nan about his experience in detail in a slightly proud tone. He even used the "three-step" method to explain it to Zhang Nan.
The first step was to introduce the latest theoretical results of Wu Bin from the HR department to Zhang Nan.
The second step was to combine the list of suffering trips and find commonalities between the people in charge who were selected to go on suffering trips and those who did not.
The third step was to analyze and find a way to deal with it.
If he was not particularly sure before, Zhang Yuan's speculation had been fully verified now that the list of suffering trips for the second stage was out.
On one hand, the people he had previously confirmed to be safe, such as Chen Kangtuo from Thriller Hostel, were still safe.
On the other hand, none of the people in charge whom he had previously felt to be more dangerous were spared.
On the other hand, he had managed to escape the calamity by relying on his performance during the GOG international invitational tournament and watching the competition offline!
With so many verifications, Zhang Yuan was already extremely certain of his theory. It could even be said that he believed it without a doubt.
Boss Pei's deep intention was to guide everyone to get rid of the alienation of labor, work happily, and work creatively so that they could maximize their potential!
Zhang Nan was stunned when he heard it.
At first glance, this theory was quite outrageous and did not make sense at all!
However, after Zhang Yuan explained the inference process of this theory, especially after every step was perfectly matched, Zhang Nan felt that this theory was too comprehensive and perfect. It was simply impeccable!
Zhang Nan thought about it for a moment and said, "Listening to you, it does make sense!
This should be the explanation closest to Boss Pei's original idea.
However, there is still one thing I don't quite understand.
"The logic in the front is very smooth, such as the 'alienation of labor', the separation of work and entertainment, and the division of the people in charge. They are all very clear.
"But … how do these theories relate to suffering travel?"
"Why is the way to correct the 'alienation of labor' to suffer?"
Zhang Yuan seemed to have considered this question long ago. He smiled and said, "This is actually very easy to understand.
"I didn't understand at first, but after the second batch of lists came out, I discussed it with Wu Bin in detail and learned about his latest theoretical results.
"Then, I suddenly realized that everything was connected!"
"In fact, suffering trips itself is a standard template for the alienation of labor.
Zhang Nan asked in surprise, "Why?"
Zhang Yuan patiently explained, "Isn't the journey itself happy?"
"Of course I am happy."
"When people take the initiative to travel, they can choose their own time, place, and method of travel. In this state, of course, traveling is a happy thing."
"When you arrive at a new place and see a new scenery, even if you have traveled a long distance, and the journey is bumpy and tiring, you will still enjoy it."
"Suffering travel, on the other hand, completely changes the nature of travel. It changes from an active travel to a forced travel. It becomes a very serious matter."
"You can't choose your own time, location, or method of travel. Someone else has to choose for you. A strict itinerary and goal has to be achieved. The goal of the trip is no longer to have fun, but to complete the mission …"
"Make a comparison. Don't you find that it has a lot in common with the dissimilation of labor?"
Zhang Nan nodded thoughtfully. "Yes … indeed."
"The similarities are rather obvious. Labor and travel were both subjective, free, and creative activities in the beginning, but after the mutation, they became passive, forced, and painful activities.
"The process of this transformation and the results of the transformation are quite similar."
Zhang Yuan continued, "This is actually very difficult to discover because of the habitual thinking for a long time."
"Most people naturally think that work and entertainment are separate and distinct. The nature is completely different. In our habitual thinking, we think that work is tiring and painful, and travel is free, relaxed, and fun. "
"Therefore, it is difficult to think of the common ground between work and travel."
"But in fact, in their original state, their natures are highly similar."
"This is actually very difficult to understand, but once you do, there will be a feeling of sudden enlightenment."
Zhang Nan thought about it seriously. "So, Boss Pei arranged suffering travel so that these people in charge could understand this principle? Change their mentality? "
"However, this seems a little far-fetched. After all, these people in charge might be workaholics, but work does bring them some joy. However, suffering travel … is not fun at all?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly. "There might be joy, but the nature is different."
"The joy that workaholics obtain from work is not the original joy of work."
"What drives workaholics to work is often a sense of responsibility, a habit that they have developed since they were young, a goal for promotion and salary increases, and the stimulation of various complex factors."
"The original joy of work is the joy of creation, the joy of exerting one's intelligence."
"These two kinds of pleasures are fundamentally different and cannot be confused."
"If they are confused, it is easy to fall into a state of suppressed creativity without knowing it."
"It is precisely because the state of the mutation of labor has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and is used to it that Boss Pei changed to 'travel'. That way, it would be easier to understand the irrationality of the mutation of labor."
Zhang Yuan explained a little more.
Obviously, most of the theoretical knowledge in this content came from Wu Bin. Zhang Yuan was just combining his own understanding and repeating it.
On the surface, workaholics could also obtain joy from work, but they did not obtain the original joy of labor.
Workaholics would also feel a sense of satisfaction after completing work. However, this sense of satisfaction came from the following aspects:
First, a sense of responsibility. Because work and entertainment were strictly distinguished, work was seen as' legitimate, reasonable, and noble ', while entertainment was seen as' improper, dispirited, and time-wasting '.
Therefore, in the eyes of workaholics, work was very legitimate. When they spent a lot of time working, they might not feel the original joy of work, but they would obtain a sense of satisfaction that 'I have been doing proper work and not wasting time'.
Second, it was a habit.
Most people were taught from a young age that they couldn't play around. They had to study, work hard, and work hard to earn money. Studying and working themselves were painful, but they had to bear and endure this pain, because that was what outstanding people did.
Over time, 'enduring the pain' became a habit, and they even naturally adapted to it. Changing this painful state would make people become unaccustomed to it.
Finally, it was the stimulation of goals.
Many people's goals were to complete KPIs, complete performance, be excellent in assessments, get promoted, and get promoted in the workplace step by step.
This kind of goal made them like donkeys with a carrot hanging on it, constantly working hard.
Of course, it did not mean that it was wrong to pursue promotions and pay increases, or to emphasize work hard and responsibility.
Working hard was a kind of professionalism that should be encouraged.
But from another point of view, emphasizing the pain of work and the legitimacy of work actually separated the joy of work, making people naturally accept the alienated state of work.
Zhang Nan was a little confused. "But … doesn't that still achieve the ultimate goal?"
If the ultimate goal was for employees to work hard, get promoted, and develop the company quickly, then Tengda had achieved this goal.
Why bother with its nature?
Zhang Yuan shook his head again. "Of course not!
"There's actually a fundamental difference between these two states."
"People can endure pain and even ignore it, but sooner or later, the pain will backfire. It's just a matter of how much.
"Some people don't even feel the consequences at all, but that doesn't mean that the consequences don't exist.
"If you think that work itself is a painful thing, and completing work comes from a sense of responsibility, to complete KPIs and set goals, then you will indeed do your work well on the surface, but in reality, you won't have the motivation to move forward."
"That's because the spirit of innovation requires immersion, fun, and a state of forgetting about everything.
"If you think that work is painful, then this pain will continue to accumulate during work. If you think that the goal of work is to earn money, then you will hate work after a certain point.
"Some people say that one should enjoy life after making enough money, but in the end, it's still because they put work and life in opposition. They see work as a painful way to make a living, not a part of life that's fun."
"Only when you truly feel the joy of labor can you fully unleash your imagination and creativity without damaging yourself.
"Boss Pei does not need a tool who only cares about KPIs and only thinks about performance. Instead, he needs a person in charge who is full of imagination and creativity and can take charge."
Zhang Nan suddenly understood. "So that's how it is!
"In other words, suffering is actually a microcosm of the alienation of labor. After the person in charge feels this pain, they will be more able to understand the wrong direction in their work and take the initiative to correct it. "
Zhang Yuan nodded. "That's right.
"Actually, I've already felt this change.
"I sang two songs on stage for the performance previously and suddenly realized that the effect was not bad!
"Of course, I know my singing level very well, but why do the audience still like it so much? Obviously, this attitude of sharing joy with netizens and the spirit of entertaining the public has been recognized by everyone. Unknowingly, it has narrowed the distance between me and everyone.
"This is very inspiring for my next work!
"If this is the case for a department like the E-Sports Department that does not need much creativity, then how much will the exploration of creativity help the person-in-charge in the games, movies, and other departments?
