Silicon Valley.

Although it was already late at night, like other parks here, the nextdoor headquarters park is still on lights everywhere.

Well, on the outside, the United States is a country where all companies do not work overtime.

For example, in China, whether it is New Year's Eve or 23 o'clock in the evening, the boss gave the order, and many people had to go to the company obediently. Whether it was meetings or overtime, you would do everything as you please.

But in the United States, if the boss does this, HR must first stand up and express his objection.

If the boss shows his boss' style and says he won't miss his reminder, I want to do this. Then, many people who have told him to notify him may not miss his notice.

The American people who are so happy that they are a little lazy are unwilling to run to the company during rest time, and they are even more unwilling to call you at four or five o'clock in the morning and get up from the bed.

However, the capital routine is the deepest routine in the world.

Silicon Valley’s flexible working system and indefinite paid leave are the concrete manifestations of this routine.

The flexible working system means that there is no prescribed time to go to get off work, come whenever you want, leave when you want, work when you want, and don’t work if you don’t want to work.

Indefinite paid leave is just as the name suggests. There is no time required to take a leave. At any time, as long as you want to take a leave and discuss with your boss, you can take a leave without reporting. There is no need to report it, and there is no need to count the time.

This is so beautiful that it is beyond your thoughts. It is a situation that only happened in the communist era, isn’t it?

But in fact, no one dares to do that.

Do you want to be promoted, do you want to get a raise, do you want to stand out? So, you can't complete the same task as quickly as possible?

But unless you are a genius, there are many tasks assigned to you, and you have to work hard to complete before deadline.

If everyone can easily complete their work before deadline, then with the capitalist's urinary nature, the number of people in this project team will definitely be reduced from the beginning - that is, this situation will definitely not exist.

That is, under the routine of Silicon Valley capitalists, many coders who enjoy doing what they want and doing what they don’t care about at any time, and many of them do it spontaneously until very late at night.

Therefore, the so-called flexible working system is actually the biggest function of the boss to avoid a lot of trouble from the legal scope. We implement the flexible working system, so where do we get overtime?

As for indefinite paid leave, it is also a beautiful vision. As long as you can accept the situation where your original subordinate becomes your boss after you come back from the leave, you can indeed exercise such rights.

Therefore, compared with the routine of some domestic companies forcing overtime, Silicon Valley's strategy is still more clever.

In the Facebook office building, Coo Sandberg walked out of the tea room with a cup of coffee, not because she cared about the secretary, but because she had been sitting for too long and it was necessary to get up and walk.

Looking at the brightly lit office in front of her, she felt very relieved and very grateful.

I am really a very lucky person.

Joining Google happened to catch up with the years when Google was rising rapidly, and joining Facebook was once again on the Rockets.

This is a company that is making rapid progress every day, like Google in previous years, with users growing every minute and second, and new product ideas appearing every day...

The best thing is that the problems that students who are also in high positions in other companies now face every day, such as office politics, and various shirks, Sandberg cannot feel at all.

What's better is that as a company that was mainly conquering cities and lands all over the world in the early stage, the Facebook business system is currently just a piece of white paper, and she can freely write her ink.

With Facebook's current high user base, Sandberg is very confident that he will make the company profitable within one to two years.

After taking a senior position like Coo, Sandberg also has higher requirements for herself. She is now overcoming her biggest problem, especially when a job is not solved, she is prone to impatient problems.

However, as a woman, a middle-aged woman, she must consider another issue, the child's problem.

Although Feng said when he was visiting his home that day, he said that this was not a problem, but naturally, when all his work on Facebook was on track, it was best to have children after making a profit, but his physical condition at that time? Also, the wishes of her husband Goodberg were also a problem.

As soon as she returned to the office, she saw that her phone was on. When she saw Goodberg’s call, he probably wouldn’t talk to him about this issue!

…………

Cummins is also in the office at this time.

Unlike Sandberg, who just joined Facebook and was entrusted with important tasks and had too much work to do, Cummins, who had already started working, didn't have to work so hard at this time.

Indeed, he can usually guarantee to get off work after 5 pm, at least he is not under pressure from deadline, which is hailed as the primary productivity of many Silicon Valley people.

He is still staying in the office at this time, not because of his unfavorable activities against Feng Yiping on Facebook and YouTube, but because of the acquisition of Marvel, there is no clear progress yet.

After Disney's rare surrender, he had several phone calls with Marvel's Palmatt, but although the guy seemed very interested in being acquired, he was even discussing how the two companies joined forces and how to use Feng Yiping's influence to promote Marvel's "Fantastic Four" in China, but in order to involve key issues, that guy is other things as far as Gu Zi is concerned.

Cummins was really tired of playing ambiguous relationship with such a cunning old man.

He looked at his watch and saw that the day was about to pass, and he couldn't help but become a little impatient.

If you continue like this, you may be sure that there will be any new variables. You must know that Hollywood is not just Disney.

But he also knew that the current stage was a stage where he and Marvel were secretly competing, and it was time to see who couldn't hold on to the game first.

Even though I'm impatient, I still have to hold on.

He turned off the computer and was about to turn off the desk lamp. The cell phone in his hand vibrated. When he saw the caller ID, it was Palmatt again. He suddenly became a little excited. This was the first time this time he called himself so late.

"Good evening, Mr. Palmatt,"

"Cummins," Palmatt's voice sounded a little tired, but another slight feeling in his tone, "I want to...,"

"There is no problem with Palmatt," Cummins suppressed his excitement. "We can negotiate on related issues the day after tomorrow,"

"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow," hung up the phone, threw down the briefcase, Cummins rolled up his sleeves and trotted all the way to the M&A team's office.

His arrival did not attract everyone's attention.

The offices here are still filled with a tense atmosphere at this time.

If Palmatt has expressed a clear rejection, everyone can rest well, but Palmatt has been like a close beauty lover recently, just to prevent Palmatt from suddenly relenting tomorrow. Many people are also staying in the office at this time and are repeatedly improving various plans.

"Everyone," Cummins clapped his hands a few times. Seeing that everyone finally turned their eyes, Cummins shouted, "Just just now, we were waiting for that call,"

"Yeah!" In an instant, cheers resounded throughout the building, and some flying papers and documents could be seen in the air.

Many people were excited to embrace the people around them. Finally, once again, we will usher in victory!

Cummins and several team leaders hugged each other heavily, "Okay, now everyone put the things in their hands and go home early to rest. Tomorrow afternoon, we will set off for New York to complete this project and welcome a new member to join,"

"Suddenly I feel so hungry," someone said.

"I think so, when you say that," Cummins touched his stomach, "Let's go, I'll treat everyone to dinner."

"Yeah," the group cheered again.

But they were too happy.

"I heard that there is a restaurant in the park, and Chinese dumplings will be served at night?"

"Tsk!" His words attracted everyone's boos. Is it necessary for you to invite him to eat in the park restaurant?

…………

Cummins, who received the good news, was no longer impatient, but in another campus in Silicon Valley, another big shot who was also staying in the office at this time couldn't help but become impatient.
