Yesterday, the local education authorities responded to the video of "Henan Zhumadian Education Bureau hosted a lecture on Chinese studies to become a promotion meeting": the activity has stopped and all products can be returned.

　　After the lecture on Chinese studies

　　Sponsor product display

　　The video shows that when lecturers are teaching traditional virtues, they begin to sell a "Chinese Classics Listening and Reading Machine" with a price of 1,500 yuan, and say that "many schools and families are already using it". Soon, many parents paid for the product.

　　On June 5, Ms. Li, a student’s parent who had attended the lecture and bought a listening and reading machine, told the Beijing Youth Daily reporter that the reason why she participated in the activity was due to a notice from the school. She said that her child is currently in the second grade of a primary school in Zhumadian. "Not long ago, the school issued a notice about the lecture on Chinese studies, encouraging parents to attend."

　　On the afternoon of June 2, Ms. Li attended the event as scheduled. She said that according to the publicity of previous activities, the guest speaker was a national award winner. However, the original guests did not appear at the event. The guest was replaced by a lecturer named Song Zhen. After the lecture, the organizer introduced Song Zhen’s identity and called her an expert in parenting education, but Ms. Li couldn’t recall the name of the institution.

　　Ms. Li said that during the lecture, Song Zhen did not take the initiative to promote the listening and reading machine. "But after the activity, the staff distributed a booklet on Chinese studies education. In addition, the organizer informed the scene that there was a sponsor’s product display, and parents in need could buy it without mandatory requirements. "

　　Work Committee and other departments

　　Jointly organize activities

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily saw the introduction of this activity from a document stamped with the official seal of the Zhumadian Education Bureau’s Working Committee for Caring for the Next Generation: According to the work arrangement, the Zhumadian Education Bureau’s Working Committee and the Youth Chinese Studies Education Research and Development Working Committee decided to jointly hold a lecture hall in Zhumadian City to promote traditional virtues.

　　According to the document, the organizer of this activity is the Propaganda Group of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the education bureaus of counties and districts, and the primary and secondary schools directly under the bureau. The guest speaker is Tao Moumou (one of the top ten people who moved China in 2014 and the fifth moral model of Tianjin). Participants are kindergarten teachers in primary and secondary schools, parents of students, etc. The scale of the conference is 500 people in each session of the municipal schools and county education bureaus.

　　The document requires that all county and district education bureaus, primary and secondary schools directly under the municipal government and kindergartens should fully realize the importance of carrying forward the education of Chinese traditional virtues and attach importance to and do a good job in organizing activities. This activity is a public welfare lecture hall, and there is no charge. All units should widely publicize, designate special personnel to be responsible for this work and actively participate in this activity.

　　Education bureau responded

　　Parents who have bought it can return it.

　　In response to this matter, the local media in Zhumadian posted a handling opinion stamped with the official seal of Zhumadian Education Bureau in the official Weibo on June 3: According to the preliminary investigation, the problems reflected by the media and netizens are true. The Party Group of Zhumadian Education Bureau attached great importance to this. On the morning of June 3, it held a special meeting to study and put forward the handling opinions on this matter: instructing the Municipal Education Bureau’s Working Committee to write an in-depth inspection to the Party Group. The work committee of the Municipal Education Bureau failed to submit the documents for approval according to the procedures, and after the documents were issued, it failed to effectively supervise the organizers of the activities, and should bear the main responsibility for the occurrence of the incident; Zhumadian Education Bureau set up a joint investigation team with the participation of the discipline inspection and supervision team, office and safety letters and visits department. If violations of rules and regulations are found, they will be dealt with severely according to the law.

　　Responsible by the Municipal Education Bureau’s Working Committee, actively contact with the organizers of the event and make good cooperation. If there is a request to return the money for listening and reading Chinese studies, the money will be returned to the parents after statistics; The Municipal Education Bureau strengthens examination and approval and supervision to ensure that similar problems will not happen again in the future.

　　Brand involved

　　There is no storefront in Zhumadian

　　Yesterday, the reporter of Beiqing Daily contacted the return phone published by the media as a parent. The other party said that it is ok to return the goods, but denied that the activities involved were illegal. According to the staff member, the brand involved has no public storefront in Zhumadian, and only the listening and reading machine experience is set up in the lecturer’s home. The staff said that if parents insist on returning the goods, they can arrange friends to recycle the listening and reading equipment at the agreed place and return all the money. If parents have doubts about product quality, they can go directly to the lecturer’s home to find out.

　　Since then, the reporter of Beiqing Daily has repeatedly tried to contact a certain technology company in Shenzhen, the manufacturer of the listening and reading machine for Chinese studies, but the phone number left on the company’s official website has never been answered.

　　Ms. Li told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that after arriving at school this week, the class teacher of the child’s class informed the parents that it was necessary to return the listening and reading machine purchased at the venue, and the parents would contact the organizer to return it. At present, she has completed the return at the venue where she participated in the event before and got a refund.

　　On GitHub, a well-known code hosting platform in the programmer circle, someone initiated a project called "996.ICU", which means "Work 996, sick ICU". "996" is the working state of programmers in many enterprises, working from 9 am to 9 pm, working six days a week. This project has been responded by a large number of programmers. Since it was registered on March 26th, the number of Star has exceeded the integer mark of 150,000 by April 2nd, indicating that at least 150,000 programmers have paid attention to this project.

　　At present, this topic has also been extended to other network platforms and continues to ferment. Programmers are not only concerned about the violation of their rights and interests by the "996" working system and the harm to their health and family life, but also worry about their jobs. Although employees go to work in "996", once the enterprise strategy is adjusted or the capital chain is limited, the entire industrial cluster is often abolished, and the jobs may be lost at any time. Even if we work hard in "996", the development of the enterprise is singing all the way. There are many examples of programmers being laid off after reaching the "ceiling age" of 35 years old, which makes them worry about their career future.

　　Faced with this topic, some people will say that since they are not satisfied with "996", they should change their jobs. The problem is that there are dozens of "996" enterprises named by programmers on "996.ICU", among which there are many well-known enterprises in the industry. In other words, even if programmers jump ship and go to different enterprises in different cities, it is still difficult to escape from the clutches of "996". Some enterprises even regard "996" as the so-called corporate culture, and openly ask employees to implement it. At the beginning of this year, there were enterprises that openly asked employees to implement the "996" working system and were investigated by the local labor inspection department.

　　In fact, "996", regarded as a successful experience by individual entrepreneurs, is itself suspected of breaking the law. It is clearly stipulated in the Labor Law that "the state practices a working-hour system in which workers work no more than eight hours a day and 44 hours a week on average." According to the "996" calculation, one hour lunch break is removed every day, and the working hours of employees are as high as 11 hours and 66 hours a week.

　　For overtime, the law stipulates that "generally, it shall not exceed one hour per day", and "it shall not exceed three hours per day and thirty-six hours per month" on the premise of "ensuring the health of workers" for special reasons, and the premise of overtime is "after consultation with trade unions and workers". Then, regardless of whether overtime is negotiated or not, if it is calculated by four weeks per month, the overtime time of "996" is as high as 104 hours per month, which is nearly three times as much as the upper limit stipulated by the state.

　　More crucially, on the one hand, many enterprises regard "996" as chicken soup in the workplace, on the other hand, they not only lack corresponding compensatory time off, but also fail to pay employees overtime pay on weekdays and holidays in full. It is self-evident who will benefit from the "996" working system. At the same time, many enterprises have implemented the invisible "996" working system in order to avoid legal risks, that is, they don’t publicly ask for this working time. However, in actual work, no one dares to leave the company before 9: 00 pm, and no one dares not to work overtime on Saturday, because those who leave work by the hour and those who don’t work overtime are often excluded and criticized in the corresponding evaluation system, and are detained as "not aggressive"

　　As more and more programmers fall into the "996" working system, the relevant departments should do something. We should know that behind programmers’ overtime work, the supporting departments of their enterprises will also work overtime, and these enterprises are powerful enterprises in the industry. In order to adapt to their working hours, employees of business-related enterprises in the upstream and downstream of the industry naturally have to work overtime, leading to the expansion of the "996" working system.
