A key takeaway from the video is the push from the Gen Z to improve working conditions in China. That’s very interesting to know.
I believe that work environment will become much more balanced in the future.
I’ve heard the same thing of Gen Z no longer wanting to work full time in Europe. I wonder how much there is to it.
I like e-mail as a concept, as a widely used federated protocol. In practice it’s pretty trash because every single company I ever interacted with feels like it needs to give me at least weekly updates.
The culture of interpersonal e-mail communication with formal greetings, closing line, signature sucks. Reading an email conversation that is 20% formalities, 75% signatures and 5% content is so annoying. And people are tought this shit at school.
Creating new time consuming formalities for previously existing time consuming formalities is the peak of corporate capitalism.
Kind of feudal, really
The weekly report to your local lord on how the harvest is going and then the lord’s accountant informing you if you’re gonna be able to keep enough to feed your family after the taxes and the due debts have been deducted.
As someone who has always been baffled by formal pleasantries I find email (and phone calls) absolutely exhausting.
This amazes me given how prevalent e-mail is for basically all online services as the main way for identifying yourself.
Super interesting video. I use email a lot, mostly at work. So if you work for a Chinese company, and you have to contact someone from another company, you do it through wechat?
yeah basically everything is done through wechat, or the corporate version wecom in larger companies.
you might use email for initial contact but for any kind of prolonged relationship you’ll probably move to wechat.
maybe because i’m a middle millenial, but i find this puzzling but understandable. i’ve been sending emails for 25 years and i think it’s still a great way to communicate (I also like sending paper letters). At work, there’s nothing better than firing off a quick email to cover my ass to make it look like i’m busy. i also like just hopping on the phone and calling someone if they aren’t giving the info i need over email. it’s literally the easiest part of my blue collar job.
