夢想工作幻滅！為什麼大多數谷歌員工平均工作 1.1 年後就辭職？ (Why Most Google Employees Quit After 1.1 Years (On Average))
- Honestly, though, what do you think? Leave a comment below. And of course, beyond what we mentioned here, there's a lot of perks we didn't cover, such as Google's generous work from home policy, unlimited vacation time and more. But can you actually enjoy them with the second reason, endless work pressure? Of course, Google isn't alone with the list of companies that put a lot of pressure on employees with aggressive deadlines. But how much pressure is too much? Well, maybe when work pressure starts to take a toll on health, because anxiety and burnout can definitely be a factor in early departures. Research on workplace stress recently done by Payscale.com said that 53% of Google employees consider their jobs extremely stressful. No wonder ex-Google employees claim Google acts like a demanding girlfriend. Even with the unlimited vacation, work from home and more direct stress relievers like meditation rooms and insurance covering therapy, the question is, are these things actually helping? Well, if we look at Payscale's report and what ex-Googlers say, it largely seems like no. But why? Because many Google employees claimed they felt like there was a culture of them working against the clock and they didn't have any time to relax and de-stress themselves because it's hard to have leisure time when you're only thinking about the task you're behind on due to an aggressive deadline. And ex-Googlers say that due to these deadlines, they always felt behind schedule and only in rare cases, if the team was lucky, would they actually finish a project on time. Now, in this situation, it's very easy to rationalize something like skipping the gym when your whole team is working too. Now, it's not like anyone's going to stop you from going, but you might be seen as a slacker for not working as hard as the rest of the team. And to be perceived as a hard worker, you might be eating those tasty meals at your desk. Now, you might be typing a comment right now that says, hey, you have your perks, you have the high salary, so stop complaining. But when you're actually in the environment, it's a bit different. Not everyone can handle that stress. You might also wonder, is coding itself a stressful thing to do? Well, today's sponsor doesn't think so. If you want to learn and earn with coding while simultaneously living a stress-free life, check out the Fremo Code Bootcamp where you'll learn front-end coding and location-independent job hunting skills.
說實話，你怎麼看？請在下面留言。當然，除了我們在這裡提到的，還有很多我們沒有涉及到的福利，比如谷歌優厚的在家辦公政策、無限的休假時間等等。但是，如果有了第二個原因，即無盡的工作壓力，你還能真正享受到這些待遇嗎？當然，谷歌並不是唯一一家在截止日期前給員工施加巨大壓力的公司。但是，多大的壓力才算大呢？嗯，也許當工作壓力開始對健康造成損害的時候，因為焦慮和倦怠絕對是導致提前離職的一個因素。最近，Payscale.com 對工作壓力進行的調查顯示，53% 的谷歌員工認為他們的工作壓力極大。難怪前谷歌員工稱谷歌就像

現代人什麼都要分享，但過度分享會帶來你不知道的危險 (The Dangers of Oversharing)
- This isn't to deny the fun that over-sharers can bring to social life. These won't be the types talking about the economic contraction or where they last went on holiday. Contact with other humans should be about getting to the marrow of things they believe, which is why we will quickly get to hear about their ex's sexual difficulty, the vicious row they had about their mother's will, exactly how much they earn, the troubles they have with their digestion, their favourite bedroom position and the nature of an early childhood trauma. The difficulty lies in the toll these divulgences impose on over-sharers themselves. An evening of entertainment is too often followed by a shame-ridden awakening.
這並不是否認過度分享者給社交生活帶來的樂趣。他們不會談論經濟萎縮或上次去哪裡度假。是以，我們很快就會聽到他們前男友的性難題、關於母親遺囑的惡性爭吵、他們的收入、消化問題、最喜歡的臥室姿勢以及童年創傷的性質。困難在於，這些資訊的洩露會給過度分享者本身造成傷害。一個晚上的娛樂之後，往往是羞愧難當的覺醒。
