According to the survey, the workload of gold collars is very heavy, and even the phenomenon of overdrawing their lives has aroused the concern of senior business people. Please look at a group of regrettable and shocking lists: Wang Junyao, 38, founder and former chairman of Junyao Group; Tomson Group real estate tycoon Tang Junnian, 56 years old; Yang Mai, 54, former president of Ericsson in China; Hu Kai, 52, former general manager of Dazhong Electric Appliance Company; Peng, 56, former president of Tsingtao Brewery ...

White collar: How much do you like it and how worried are you?
Teenagers don't know the taste of sorrow, and the scenery is chic. After graduating from college, I have a comfortable and stable job, going in and out of high-end consumer places and wandering between luxury business centers and office buildings. This is the life of white-collar workers today. Because of high income, white-collar workers can be said to live comfortably, and many people own private cars, their own houses and so on. They pursue a diversified and high-quality life. At present, the main class of white-collar workers is people aged 25-40, and many people's ideas, values and outlook on life are shaped after the reform and opening up. For these white-collar workers, high-paying job opportunities are as important as a high-quality lifestyle. White-collar workers like diversified life forms, constantly looking for new fashions, and expressing their pursuit of quality of life through their own clothes and houses. White-collar workers' leisure and comfortable work and glamorous appearance have become the favorite of undergraduates, master students and even doctoral students who have just left school.
Frequent job-hopping, fear of unemployment, numerous risks. The high consumption of white-collar workers must be supported by high salary, so the white-collar workers' desire for high salary is increasing day by day. As a result, the phenomenon of white-collar job-hopping is not uncommon. Take the young people in the IT industry as an example, 63.7% of them have quit their jobs, and the motivation is "whether they can give full play to their own personality and ability" and "want to have an independent world". Ciic Shanghai Company conducted a survey on more than 5,000 employees working in foreign companies, all of whom have left their jobs. The survey results show that the proportion of individuals voluntarily resigning is as high as 67%, while only 12% was dismissed by the company, and 1 1% was terminated naturally. White-collar workers have a single job and no challenges. Their knowledge is "devalued" bit by bit every day, gradually losing their advantages, leading to the devaluation of social status, the formation of professional crisis, and white-collar unemployment is inevitable. In today's workplace, white-collar workers are choosing salaries and occupations, and occupations are also choosing white-collar workers. A two-way talent circulation market has been formed.

In addition, the proportion of married white-collar workers who choose to continue the "husband and wife world" after five years is 22%. They are too tired to have children easily. When it comes to work, almost everyone is desperate. Working overtime is a common practice. They may be exhausted when they get home at night, but as long as they are in the office, they will never be tired. White-collar workers have a strong sense of urgency and pressure. They are worried that they will be fired by their boss, that their business has not improved, that others will surpass them, and that they are at a disadvantage in the competition. Due to the long-term overdraft of energy and knowledge, white-collar workers have a strong sense of charging, and 90% of the respondents agree with the concept of lifelong learning.
