BBC: the Chinese far beyond Europe-working overtime overtime hours, work-IT information
Foreign media said that in China, has become a way of life for a long time, no matter what the industry. According to estimates by Beijing Normal University, one of the researchers, worked an average of 2000-2,200 hours per year-much higher than the Chinese Americans (1790 hours per year), the Netherlands people (1419 hours), Germans (1371 hours) or Japanese (1719), these figures from the Organization for economic cooperation and development statistics.
According to the United Kingdom Broadcasting Corporation, August 26, not everyone in China is satisfied with this. A video is very popular in the summer, an amateur orchestra of Shanghai as "work dog" were offered a tongue-in-cheek song of the empty feeling.
Reports that China's brutal work hours has become very alarming, in fact, the Government has begun to pay attention to this issue. In 2012, the official China daily published an editorial called "karoshi" has become a reality in China, labor laws do not adequately protect the rights of workers.
A 2014 report on China's working hours, workplace culture, China even prevented them from becoming international engine. Beijing Normal University economic and business management College Dean Lai Desheng in published this a report of Assembly Shang said: "shortened work time except will conducive to workers of physical and mental health and promote productivity of upgrade zhiwai, also conducive to promote employment number of expanded and employment quality of improve, and conducive to speed up achieved from China manufacturing to China created of change, and conducive to incentive workers for human capital again investment, and leisure time of increased will potential to promote innovation of occurred. ”
Cost and speed competition
However, Chinese startups, especially enterprises in science and technology, not only failed to adopt that proposal, employees also worked longer hours. These companies not only provide late-night snacks, alleged that white cloud technology and other companies even provide employees with easy, convenient for employees to NAP during the day or late at night in the company of overtime. Many start-ups get inspiration from technology giants such as Alibaba, Alibaba in the preparation stage of the end of the employee in the company's ground tent; Huawei at its initial stage, with its so-called "mat culture" is known for, the engineer will place a blanket rolls at the end of the table, for use to work when it is too late.
Reports say, despite concerns that the slowdown in the Chinese economy, but a lot of venture capital into China-2015 to a record $ 37 billion, according to Bloomberg, doubled over the previous year, making it more competitive in science and technology.
Investors Qiming, co-founder of jiali·lixieer millet said workplace culture of startups in China even more harsh than Silicon Valley.
He said that one reason is that for many Chinese start-ups, their business model is not based on a unique idea, but from other places, not county other start-ups, is the United States enterprises. That makes them only two channels of competition--the cost and speed. "When you compete at low cost and speed, and only a cultural success, that is from a culture".
Gobi partner Xu Chen said the venture, Shanghai venture capital firm, for many young technology workers, no work-life balance: work is life. Many people moved to the city without friends and family, so they prefer to work in the Office late, earning overtime or meal time interacting with colleagues. Some start-ups will provide fast network, video games, and perks such as free meals.
Ken says: "they can break when playing games, or chat with other people. After returning home, is also doing the same thing – playing the game chips. ”
"It's not work, it's part of their lifestyle. They don't want to go home, they just want to stay there. ”
Trust issues
Reports that apparently lived in the Office had its bad side. For example, the work efficiency. Richerd said many Chinese startups often has a tendency to increase face time at the Office – stay up late just to get to see him very late, just like the 890, many Japan enterprise situation. He asked: "what do you have to be in Office for so long? Day after day? Lack of trust in Chinese society, so if you don't see your, well, what are you doing? ”
Reported that fatigue is another question. When they are deprived of sleep, start-up employees can efficiently work? Which will be start-ups--another key factors affect innovation?
BBC：中国人加班时间远超欧美 - 加班,工作 - IT资讯
外媒称，在中国，长时间工作已经成为一种生活方式，无论是什么行业。据北京师范大学一名研究人员估计，中国人每年平均工作2000到2200个小时——远远高于美国人（每年1790个小时）、荷兰人（1419个小时）、德国人（1371个小时）甚至是日本人（1719个小时），这些数字来自经济合作与发展组织的统计。
据英国广播公司网站8月26日报道，并不是每一个中国人都对此感到满意。在这个夏天非常受欢迎的一段视频中，上海一支业余乐队为“加班狗”们献上了一首半开玩笑的歌《感觉身体被掏空》。
报道称，中国残酷的工作时长已变得非常令人担忧，实际上，政府已开始注意到这一问题。官方的《中国日报》在2012年发表一篇社论，称“过劳死”在中国已成为事实，劳动法没有充分地保护劳动者的权利。
2014年一份关于中国工作时长的报告表示，中国的职场文化甚至会阻碍其成为国际引擎。北京师范大学经济与工商管理学院院长赖德胜在发表这一报告的大会上说：“缩短工作时间除了会有利于劳动者的身心健康和促进劳动生产率的提升之外，还有利于促进就业数量的扩大和就业质量的提高、有利于加快实现从中国制造向中国创造的转变、有利于激励劳动者进行人力资本再投资，而且闲暇时间的增加会潜在地促进创新的发生。”
成本和速度的竞争
不过，中国的初创企业，尤其是科技领域的企业，不仅没有采纳这一建议，还让员工更长时间地工作。这些公司不仅提供夜宵，据称，白山云科技等公司甚至还为员工提供简易床，便于员工在白天小憩，或者加班太晚时在公司过夜。许多初创企业从阿里巴巴等科技巨头那里得到启示，阿里巴巴在年终大促的准备阶段员工会在公司地上扎帐篷；华为在其初创阶段以其所谓的“褥子文化”而闻名，工程师会在桌子底上放一个铺盖卷儿，以便在加班到太晚时使用。
报道称，尽管担心中国经济放缓，但是大量风险资本仍涌入中国——2015年达到创纪录的370亿美元，据彭博社称，较前一年翻了一番，这使得科技领域的竞争更加激烈。
小米的投资者启明创投的共同创始人加里·里谢尔说，中国初创公司的职场文化甚至比硅谷还要苛刻。
他说，原因之一是，对许多中国的初创企业来说，他们的商业模式不是基于独特的想法，而是源于其他地方，不是中国的另外一个初创企业，就是美国企业。这使得他们只有两个竞争渠道——成本和速度。“当你以低成本和速度参与竞争时，就只剩一种文化能够取得成功了，那就是全天候文化”。
上海风险投资公司戈壁创投的合伙人徐晨说，对于许多年轻的技术员工来说，完全没有工作与生活的平衡：工作就是生活。许多人移居到没有亲人和朋友的城市，所以，他们宁愿在办公室工作到很晚，赚点加班费，或者利用工作餐时间与同事交往。有些初创企业会提供快速网络、视频游戏和免费餐饮等福利。
徐晨说：“他们休息的时候可以打会儿游戏，或者跟其他人聊会儿天。回到家后，也是在做同样的事情——玩游戏看片儿。”
“这不是工作，这是他们生活方式的一部分。他们不想回家，他们只想待在那儿。”
信任问题
报道称，住在办公室显然有不利的一面。比如，工作效率。里谢尔说，许多中国的初创企业往往有增加在办公室露面时间的趋势——待到很晚只是为了让人看到他待到很晚，就像是上世纪八九十年代许多日本企业面临的情况。他问道：“真的有必要在办公室待那么长时间吗？日复一日的？中国社会缺乏信任，所以，如果没看到你，那么，你在干什么呢？”
报道称，疲劳是另一个问题。当他们被剥夺了睡眠，初创企业的员工们还能高效率地工作吗？这会对初创企业的另外一个关键因素——创新产生什么影响呢？
