Play Game of Life

Chapter 79 Our work may be a bit tiring (910)

Hearing this, Yao Wenyang quickly expressed his opinion: "Mr. Lu, don't worry, I am a very hard-working person, and now the company maintains the normal working status of 996.

"I know that your company is currently in the research and development period of a new game, if there is a demand, I can fully handle 007 for a while!

"And I see that your company's various employee benefits are well arranged, including lounges and entertainment rooms, which also provide sufficient protection for us to work overtime..."

Lu Zhixing raised his hand to interrupt him: "Who told you that our company wants 007?"

Yao Wenyang froze for a moment.

Is not it?

Then you said just now that the work here will be a little hard and challenging?

Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, so don't play Liaozhai. Isn't your meaning the same as saying that the company has a lot of overtime? I see!

What's more, there are other clues as evidence:

The interview is scheduled on Sunday. Doesn't that mean that you are still working overtime on Sunday?

There are all kinds of facilities in the company's entertainment room and lounge. Isn't this a disguised form to encourage employees to work overtime in the company?

It's not news that many big companies do this.

Of course, companies that don’t have these devices may not stop working overtime, and overtime may even be more ruthless. It can only be said that looking for a job now, whether to work overtime or not, can only depend on fate.

Yao Wenyang has also come to his senses a long time ago: It is not impossible to work overtime, as long as the salary is high, it is no problem for me to be a cow or a horse!

Mr. Lu, it's best that when you say your salary, you can put the same smile on my face as that coach.

Lu Zhixing smiled and said: "You may have misunderstood, the reason why the interview is arranged on weekends is not because we work on weekends, but just for the convenience of interviewers, so that they don't have to ask the original company for leave.

"Our company does not have 007, nor 996, we strictly follow national statutory holidays for rest, eight-hour work system, weekends and weekends, and overtime pay for overtime work.

"When the game makes money, it will distribute dividends to the project team members according to a certain percentage.

"In addition, there are some basic employee benefits, such as regular medical examinations, but these are not comparable to some top companies for the time being, so I won't mention them.

"The details are written in the contract, you can take a look."

Yao Wenyang tremblingly picked up the contract and looked at it again and again, a little unable to believe his eyes.

Is there such a good thing?

Looking at the salary again, it was actually 30% higher than my previous salary!

It also stated the rules for future salary increases based on performance.

Now Yao Wenyang understands why the coach smiled like that. It was a smile from the heart, and it couldn't be faked!

However, Yao Wenyang was not immediately happy. Instead, he was a little suspicious: "Mr. Lu, our company...couldn't be the kind that goes to Europe and the United States for team building and then turns around in Southeast Asia, right?"

Both Lu Zhixing and Li Rushan laughed: "How come, we are a serious company, and you can't do it anyway."

Yao Wenyang said: "Why don't you arrange some overtime work for me, Mr. Lu? If you are like this, I don't feel at ease! I always feel that there is something wrong!"

Lu Zhixing smiled slightly: "Of course there is a problem.

"Didn't I say before that the work here will be a little hard and challenging."

Yao Wenyang was even more confused. How hard can this 8-hour working system plus weekends work? How can it be challenging?

Lu Zhixing explained: "The reason why we strictly implement the eight-hour work system is to abide by national laws and regulations on the one hand, and on the other hand because employees exercise a lot during work, so they must have a good rest at night and on weekends. .

"Excuse me, how is your physical fitness?"

Yao Wenyang was stunned for a moment: "Physical fitness? To be honest, my health is not very good. I have been working overtime since I entered the industry, and I have a little problem with my back. I was barely an athlete in college, but after so many years, I have It's all wasted."

Lu Zhixing was very happy: "Huh? Did you have a sports background in college? That's good, you should adapt faster than others."

Yao Wenyang was even more confused: "Adaptation? Adapt to what?"

Lu Zhixing smiled and handed over a detailed training form: "Simply put, in order to allow employees to comprehensively improve their physical fitness, better adapt to high-intensity work, and also to better obtain materials for the game, during work, We arrange professional training in parkour and rock climbing.

"All employees in the company must participate, including me."

Yao Wenyang took the training form: "Running, parkour and rock climbing?"

He now understands a little bit why that coach came to apply for the job with him.

It turns out that they are not here to do motion collection, they are really here to be a coach!

He looked carefully at the contents of this training form, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.

Originally, I thought that this boss Lu was just talking casually, and at most he could arrange half a day for training a week. After all, without working overtime, the development time of the game is already short, so how can there be time for such nonsense?

As a result, I looked at the training table. There are training items every day!

Starting from the most basic physical training, gradually touching some simple parkour and rock climbing movements, and then to some very professional movements...

Different training content is arranged for different progress, and even a dedicated nutritionist and masseur are arranged.

Is it possible that this company strictly implements the eight-hour working system, just to exhaust the employees every day?

Yao Wenyang looked at Lu Zhixing, then at Li Rushan: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Li, are you joking?"

Lu Zhixing was serious: "Do you think I am a casual joker?"

Yao Wenyang: "But... what does this mean for game development?"

Lu Zhixing smiled slightly: "Meaning? What is meaningful? Is it meaningful to let employees work overtime endlessly and work with extremely low efficiency?

"For making games, we can choose to do some gameplay in a daze with half-knowledge and ambiguity, and then modify it after being sprayed by players and professionals; or we can choose to do it ourselves and thoroughly study all these gameplays. , and then dedicate a classic to the players.

"How do you think a truly responsible and ideal game company should be chosen?"

Yao Wenyang scratched his head: "From an emotional point of view, of course we should choose the latter, but the problem is... no matter how hard we train, we can't become masters of parkour or rock climbing... Can we even reach ordinary hobbies? It’s hard to tell the level of the students.”

Lu Zhixing didn't care: "It doesn't matter, the important thing is the process of doing it personally.

"Some things are different after all just watching or doing by yourself."

Li Rushan crazily praised Lu Zhixing from the side.

aweason!

I just like your ability to talk nonsense in such a serious manner! If I had your ability, I would start my own company and spend the 500 million at the speed of light!

Yao Wenyang was caught in a tangle. He looked at the salary in the contract, then at the training schedule, then at Lu Zhixing and Li Rushan, and then at the salary in the contract...

Finally, Yao Wenyang gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'm fine!"

If other companies engage in this kind of nonsense, he will definitely run away first. Just like some company bosses, they force their employees to go hiking during the holidays, in the name of enhancing team cohesion, but in fact they are pure disgusting people.

Not so with 404 Studios.

First, everyone in the company must participate, even Lu Zhixing himself; second, these activities are during working hours, not holidays; third, there are special venues, coaches and supporting facilities; fourth, The company's working environment is very good, the salary and benefits are very high; fifth, the company has a successful game development experience, and the possibility of making a hit game is also very high, with a bright future...

Thinking about the good, isn't this equivalent to public fitness?

It may be a bit bitter and tiring, but which is more painful and tiring, working overtime to change the design draft or practicing rock climbing and parkour? It's really hard to say...

So after thinking about it, Yao Wenyang thought he could give it a try.

Lu Zhixing was very happy: "Okay, then 404 Studio welcomes you to join us!

"The next month is the trial period, which is also a two-way inspection process. If you feel that you can't stand this kind of training intensity, you can terminate the contract at any time."

Lu Zhixing stood up and shook hands with Yao Wenyang: "I wish us a happy cooperation in advance!"
