Google社員が平均1.1年で辞める理由 (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.
正直なところ、どう思いますか？以下にコメントをどうぞ。もちろん、ここで紹介した以外にも、グーグルの寛大な在宅勤務ポリシーや無制限の休暇など、紹介しきれなかった特典はたくさんある。しかし、2つ目の理由である終わりのない仕事のプレッシャーで、それらを実際に享受できるだろうか？もちろん、グーグルだけでなく、強引な締め切りで社員に大きなプレッシャーを与える企業はたくさんある。しかし、どれくらいのプレッシャーが多すぎるのだろうか？不安や燃え尽き症候群が早期退職の要因になることは間違いないからだ。Payscale.c

情報過多の危険性 (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.
オーバーシェアラーが社会生活にもたらす楽しみを否定するわけではない。このようなタイプは、景気縮小や最後に休暇を過ごした場所について話すタイプではないだろう。他の人間との接触は、彼らが信じている物事の核心に触れることであるべきだ。だからこそ、元彼の性的な困難や、母親の遺書についての悪質な争い、正確な収入額、消化不良の悩み、好きな寝室の位置、幼少期のトラウマの性質などをすぐに聞くことになるのだ。難しいのは、このような暴露が共有者自身に与える負担である。一晩の娯楽が、恥にまみれた目覚めをもたらすことがあまりにも
