Not long ago, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection informed and exposed six typical problems of accountability for ecological environmental damage, involving six provinces and cities of Tianjin, Hebei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Chongqing and Gansu, and the number of people notified reached more than 40. It is worth noting that this is the first time that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has reported on typical issues of accountability in this field.

　　"The main leaders of local party committees and governments at all levels are the first responsible persons for ecological environmental protection in their respective administrative areas. All relevant departments should fulfill their responsibilities for ecological environmental protection, so that all departments have the responsibility to defend the soil, do their duty, and work together and work together." "For those leading cadres who damage the ecological environment, we must really pursue responsibility, dare to pursue responsibility, and strictly pursue responsibility, so as to achieve lifelong accountability." In May this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed at the National Ecological Environmental Protection Conference that we should resolutely fight the tough battle of pollution prevention and control, and pointed out that leading cadres who damaged the ecological environment should be seriously held accountable.

　　Supervise discipline and accountability, and guard green mountains and green hills. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has attached great importance to ecological environmental protection, all relevant departments have cooperated to promote ecological environmental protection work, and the central and discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels have strengthened supervision and accountability, providing a strong disciplinary guarantee for implementing the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and promoting ecological environmental protection work.

　　Form political consciousness and strengthen re-supervision of supervision

　　In the circular, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection sternly pointed out that the responsible comrades in these places and units have low political stance, lax and untrue work style, weak awareness of ecological environmental protection, erroneous views on political achievements that attach importance to economic benefits and neglect environmental protection, and prominent problems of formalism and bureaucracy, which have led to the long-term failure to effectively solve the environmental pollution problem strongly reflected by the masses, and the ineffective investigation and punishment of violations of ecological environmental protection policies and regulations, seriously deviating from the central decision-making and deployment, infringing on the vital interests of the masses and restricting the sustainable development of the economy and society.

　　Why do environmental protection problems reflect the low political position and untrue style of leading cadres? "The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized at the National Ecological Environmental Protection Conference that the ecological environment is a major political issue related to the mission and purpose of the party and a major social issue related to people’s livelihood." Cai Zhiqiang, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of China Institute of Discipline Inspection and Supervision, analyzed, "Eco-environmental protection is not a simple business issue, but a major strategic deployment of the CPC Central Committee. Leading cadres at all levels should improve their political positions and whether they perform their duties and responsibilities for environmental protection work is directly related to whether they conscientiously implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee."

　　At the same time, the circular also pointed out that it is a major political task for discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels at present and in the future to implement the spirit of the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and provide strong discipline guarantee for fighting the tough battle against pollution.

　　Party construction experts believe that this is the faithful performance of the duties entrusted by party constitution by the discipline inspection and supervision organs. “‘ Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets ’ The concept was written in party constitution, and party constitution made it clear that the main tasks of the party’s discipline inspection organs are to safeguard the party’s constitution and other internal party laws and regulations, check the implementation of the party’s line, principles, policies and resolutions, and assist the party’s committees in promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the party, strengthening party style construction, and organizing and coordinating anti-corruption work. " Cai Zhiqiang said, "The accountability of the discipline inspection and supervision organs for supervision and discipline in the field of ecological and environmental protection can be said to be checking the implementation of the party’s principles and policies, and also assisting the party Committee to promote the comprehensive and strict management of the party."

　　In practice, the discipline inspection and supervision organs are stepping up the accountability of supervision and discipline in the field of ecological environmental protection to protect the construction of ecological civilization. On the one hand, since the central environmental protection inspector was launched, discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels have cooperated with the inspectors of the central environmental protection inspector group to keep a close eye on violations of laws and regulations in the environmental protection field; On the other hand, various localities have also introduced policies and measures to further clarify the responsibilities and working methods of discipline inspection and supervision organs in the field of ecological and environmental protection. For example, the Supervision Committee of the Beijing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection incorporated the key work of environmental governance into the important content of two-level inspections in urban areas; If the Supervision Committee of Hainan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has investigated and verified the ecological and environmental protection department and required accountability according to the regulations, it is required to intervene at the first time.

　　"Here, it is necessary to distinguish the responsibilities of the discipline inspection and supervision organs and the environmental protection departments. The environmental protection departments conduct business inspections on ecological and environmental issues in the front line, while the discipline inspection and supervision organs supervise and inspect the performance of relevant departments in environmental protection, which is the re-supervision of supervision." Party construction expert analysis.

　　Strictly investigate corruption cases and strengthen supervision over key areas and key links of environmental protection.

　　What areas of environmental protection system are prone to corruption? A notice can be seen in a glimpse: In February 2015, the former Ministry of Environmental Protection notified 13 cases of violations of laws and regulations by environmental protection personnel in 6 provinces, and many leading cadres were jailed for using their positions to make profits and accept bribes. By analyzing these 13 cases, it can be found that key areas such as environmental assessment approval, law enforcement supervision, solid waste management, environmental monitoring, and approval of special funds declaration have become prone to corruption.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the Ministry of Ecology and Environment said in an interview with the website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that there are three main characteristics of corruption cases investigated and dealt with in the country in recent years: First, major corruption cases mainly occur in important business areas such as environmental approval, project fund allocation, environmental law enforcement, environmental monitoring and solid waste management; Second, the amount involved is relatively large. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, cases involving more than 10 million yuan have occurred from time to time, which has a bad social impact. Third, there are many cases in the local environmental protection system, and there are many cases of group corruption, some of which have worsened the political ecology of one party.

　　Judging from the trend analysis, the person in charge believes that, on the one hand, with the comprehensive and strict administration of the party, serious corruption cases are generally declining. Taking 2017 as an example, the number of people in environmental protection departments suspected of committing crimes transferred to judicial organs decreased by 40% compared with 2016, and the national environmental protection system has achieved remarkable results in comprehensively administering the party strictly; On the other hand, problems such as "micro-corruption" and "four winds" are still outstanding. During the disciplinary review, the discipline inspection and supervision organs found that "micro-corruption" problems, such as human supervision, human law enforcement, profit from supervision and assessment, and eating and taking cards, private use of buses, accepting banquets and other hidden violations of the spirit of the eight central regulations and inaction are still outstanding. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the number of people in environmental protection departments who have been lightly punished by Party discipline has been increasing year by year, with an average annual increase of 61%.

　　"The investment in eco-environmental engineering construction will continue to increase, and the risk of clean government in law enforcement and engineering will be significantly improved." The person in charge stressed that we must attach great importance to this, adhere to both the symptoms and the root causes, effectively reduce the stock of corruption, and resolutely curb the increase of corruption.

　　Party construction experts said that in view of the characteristics of corruption cases in the environmental protection system in recent years, the discipline inspection and supervision organs should strengthen supervision over key areas and key links, and form a shock to hell to pay, who violates discipline and law; Relevant departments should also improve the loopholes in the system and further reduce the space for corruption in the fields of environmental examination and approval, project fund allocation and environmental protection law enforcement.

　　Strong accountability and hard accountability, and promote the responsibility of ecological environmental protection.

　　"The ecological environment has obviously improved, and the determination, strength and effectiveness of promoting ecological civilization construction have never been greater. The prevention and control actions of air, water and soil pollution have achieved remarkable results." The Central Economic Work Conference held in December 2017 summed up the ecological and environmental protection work in the past five years. In the joint effort to achieve such results, serious accountability is indispensable.

　　In March this year, the second batch of seven provinces and cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Hubei, which accepted the central environmental protection supervision, made public the accountability of the cases handed over by the inspector group, with a total of 1048 people accountable. Liu Youbin, spokesperson of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that seven provinces and cities paid attention to investigating leadership responsibility, management responsibility and supervision responsibility, especially highlighting leadership responsibility, which played an important role in continuously strengthening the awareness of environmental protection responsibility of local party committees and governments.

　　Practice has proved that the key to whether the responsibility of ecological environmental protection can be implemented lies in leading cadres. Behind some major ecological and environmental incidents, there are often problems of irresponsible inaction of leading cadres, problems of weak environmental awareness, inadequate performance of duties and lax enforcement, and problems of inadequate enforcement and supervision of environmental protection departments.

　　With the continuous improvement of the central government’s requirements for the construction of ecological civilization, the improvement of environmental protection laws and regulations and the enhancement of people’s awareness of environmental protection, the responsibility for damage to the ecological environment has also been continuously strengthened: in March, 221 people in Hubei Province were seriously held accountable for damage to the ecological environment; In May, Changchun reported six typical cases of accountability in the field of environmental protection; In May, Chengdu reported five typical cases of accountability in the field of ecological environmental protection … …

　　At the same time, the system construction has been continuously improved: in August 2015, the Central Office and the State Council issued the "Measures for Investigating the Responsibility of Party and Government Leading Cadres for Ecological Environment Damage (Trial)", which used the system to guide and standardize the use rights of leading cadres and drew a red line of responsibility for leading cadres in the field of ecological environment; In December 2016, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Measures for Evaluation and Assessment of Ecological Civilization Construction Goals", clarifying that if the evaluation and assessment results are distorted due to malpractice for personal gain, false reporting, tampering with data, and falsification of information, the discipline inspection and supervision organs and organizations (personnel) departments shall seriously investigate the responsibilities of relevant units and personnel in accordance with relevant regulations.

　　Various localities have also introduced measures to strengthen the accountability of discipline inspection and supervision organs in the field of environmental protection, such as Hunan’s new regulations on the responsibility of environmental protection and the measures for investigating the responsibility of major environmental problems (incidents); Sichuan has made clear the system of "lifelong investigation" of the responsibility for ecological environmental damage, and strengthened the responsibility of the party and government for ecological environmental protection.

　　"The vitality of the system lies in its implementation, which is inseparable from the great attention of party committees and governments at all levels. Discipline inspection and supervision organs, organization (personnel) departments and relevant regulatory departments do their respective duties, form joint efforts, and pursue responsibility to the end." Cai Zhiqiang said.

　　Recently, the discussion of "996" swept the public opinion field, from employees who spit out, internet giants and even scientists and scholars, a discussion about "struggle" and "life", "work" and "health" aroused people’s resonance.

　　On the one hand, programmers launched the counterattack of "996 today, ICU tomorrow", on the other hand, 996 was praised as a flower by some bosses. On April 11th, Ma Yun said that being able to "996" is a great blessing, and many people have no chance to "996". How can we achieve the desired success without making efforts and time to surpass others? The next night, he said in Weibo that any company should not and cannot force employees to "996". Don’t defend 996, but pay tribute to the strugglers!

　　Liu Qiangdong also posted in the circle of friends, sharing his struggle history of "8116+8" working mode, starting at 8 am and working until 11 pm, working 6 days a week and 8 hours on Sunday. Compared with programmers, high-intensity work is commonplace, and even "711" (11 am to 11 pm, working 7 days a week) is very common.

　　In GitHub, the first code hosting website to discuss "996·ICU", more than 40 enterprises were exposed to implement the "996" working system. "996" has long been the "hidden rule" of the Internet industry. So, is it really a choice between hard work and a happy life?

　　Active "996" has gained a lot, forcing "996" everyone to shout.

　　After nearly a year of "996", Qiang Wenhao resigned as the director of an Internet company (search engine optimization) in Beijing and went to a "965" company. Although the working hours are no different now than before, he feels "like heaven."

　　Qiang Wenhao is 26 years old. His work for nearly a year has made him gain dozens of pounds and suffer from gout. This year’s work also made him see the world: "996" is nothing, and there are also "9-12-6 (9: 00 am to 12: 00 pm, 6 days a week)" and "9-12-7 (9: 00 am to early morning, 7 days a week)".

　　"Active 996 is different from compulsory 996. Active 996 can gain a lot." For Qiang Wenhao, he went through at least one cycle: in the last company, he went from active "996" to passive "996"; After leaving the company to take private jobs, you still have to work overtime, and it has become an active "996".

　　As a management, his experience is deeper. From adding workload to front-line employees, cutting off overtime benefits, and canceling overtime pay, Qiang Wenhao tried his best to appease the team’s mood, but he could not avoid the reality that "996" changed from an option to the only one. Finally, employees left voluntarily, from a few hundred to only a few dozen. Qiang wenhao is exhausted.

　　Unlike Qiang Wenhao, Qin Zuo (a pseudonym) is a staunch opponent of "996". As a senior software development expert of a Fortune 500 foreign-funded company, Qin Zuo has been enjoying the "preferential" 8-hour flexible working system for the past three years, and has never worked overtime.

　　At the Zhihu, he and others discussed the "996" working system, which made workers more aware of their rights, which made him feel that his efforts had been valuable. Qin Zuo said that programming, as a kind of mental work, has no absolute linear relationship between output and labor time. With a high degree of concentration in 8 hours’ work, the output will be competitive enough. In his experience, after high-intensity labor, the brain will be very chaotic. Bugs caused by forced work will only take you several times more time to fix. "The technical sages realized this as early as decades ago, so that’s why they got the famous Myth of Man and Moon." (The book puts forward that the primary reason for the delay of software projects is the lack of reasonable schedule, which is praised as the "holy book" of management in the software field)

　　Qin Zuo said that a few years ago, "996" and "wolf spirit" were all crowned with the name of struggle, and bosses and employees applauded. Now, many people are shouting. "From the public opinion, the so-called’ 996′ has no soil for survival. This is a visible progress. This progress cannot be separated from the cry of every worker."

　　Chen Dayou (a pseudonym) is a newcomer to a venture capital company. He laughed at himself, saying that people who work in Beijing have no life. Dealing with entrepreneurs every day, he has long been accustomed to their working conditions of 7×24 hours, 365 days a day. Like many young people in this industry, it is difficult for him to distinguish between life and work. It is common to work overtime after dinner. Even if you make an appointment for brunch on weekends, you will wonder if you can make an appointment with an entrepreneur to talk about work.

　　Then, if the boss puts forward the "996" working system to Chen Dayou, will he accept it?

　　"I will point to the boss’s nose and scold him." Chen Dayou said that for start-ups, it is a failure to rely on a rigid system to make employees work hard for the boss’s vision.

　　However, in Chen Dayou’s view, for the industry, if a person loves it enough, he must accept its "rules." Whether it’s "996" or something else. Otherwise, even if you don’t really like it, maybe this person is really not the person these companies are looking for.

　　Where is the "degree" of overtime work

　　Recently, an anonymous report about sogou Company in the pulse post made Wang Xiaochuan, CEO of sogou Company, unable to sit still.

　　It was revealed that sogou began to count overtime hours and lay off employees, so colleagues around him "dawdled" for 11 hours. In this regard, Wang Xiaochuan said that the company has no such requirement, and even if there is, the employees who waste time like this are irresponsible to themselves and the company.

　　Wang Xiaochuan sent a screenshot of this conversation to his Sina Weibo, and forwarded: 1. sogou did not engage in "counting overtime hours for layoffs", and the work was driven by goals and wishes, not coercion; 2. Sincere communication and common growth are the values of sogou. My email address and internal IM are open to every employee in sogou. Please ask me directly if you have any questions. 3. We will not tolerate those who do not agree with sogou’s values and are unwilling to meet the challenge with sogou.

　　Among the top five popular comments in Weibo, four expressed dissatisfaction with sogou’s substantial support for overtime work, and another claimed to be a former employee of sogou, saying that sogou was the most humane, conscientious and considerate of employees in Internet companies, and paid the monthly salary 10 days in advance, regardless of the length of service.

　　Coincidentally, the media recently broke the news that Nikolay Storonsky, CEO of Revolut, a Silicon Valley startup, said in an internal email that "the KPI bonus may not be finished" and also suggested that some product managers and team leaders were behind the process and did not work overtime to catch up on weekends. Such people "will be dismissed without notice after the review if their performance is not as expected".

　　Such behavior is becoming more and more open, and in the name of corporate culture, it attracts job seekers with the same values. In response to the discussion about "996" in China, Jiang Ying, dean of the School of Law of the Institute of Labor Relations, said that he did not recognize this "corporate culture". She told China Youth Daily and Zhongqing Online reporter that the Labor Law aims to protect and balance the rights and interests of workers and enterprises, hoping to protect the physical and mental health of workers and avoid labor accidents caused by overwork.

　　Jiang Ying said that the protection of workers’ rights and interests is in step with a country’s economic development. China is still in the primary stage of socialism, but the Labor Law protects the rights and interests of workers to a relatively high degree. The benign production and operation of enterprises is also the protection of workers’ rights and interests. When enterprises encounter difficulties, they should at least keep the bottom line of the law. Jiang Ying pointed out that at present, the law does not prohibit overtime work, so long as certain procedures are followed, overtime work within certain limits is allowed.

　　Article 36 of the Labor Law stipulates that the state practices a working-hour system in which workers work no more than eight hours a day and no more than 44 hours a week on average. Article 41 stipulates that due to the needs of production and operation, the employer may extend the working hours after consultation with the trade unions and laborers, and generally the working hours shall not exceed one hour per day; If it is necessary to extend working hours for special reasons, the extension of working hours shall not exceed three hours a day, but shall not exceed thirty-six hours a month under the condition of ensuring the health of workers. (In 1995, the State Council Decree No.174 was amended to mean no more than 40 hours per week)

　　"Corporate culture must first uphold the principle of the rule of law." Jiang Ying said that modern enterprises in any modern country must form a corporate culture on the basis of the rule of law, and at the same time, this corporate culture should be recognized by employees, so as to unite employees. In contrast to these two standards, Jiang Ying demanded the so-called "996" enterprise spirit and found that this could not be called corporate culture. "If some enterprises unilaterally require employees to implement’ 996′ from their own interests, this is a violation of the labor law. Strictly speaking, this should not be a corporate culture. "

　　Qin Zuo unceremoniously "fired": "There are many managers in China’s current enterprises, who are unable to mobilize the enthusiasm of employees within 8 hours and are afraid of taking responsibility, so they can only pursue superficial efforts, pile up labor time, deceive themselves and be numb." Qin Zuo denounced that these people have made the workplace smoggy and abruptly made the life of this generation of workplace people miserable.

　　"It is a lazy policy to extend the working hours blindly in the hope of achieving higher efficiency, which is a manifestation of powerlessness." Peng Xiang, an entrepreneur, is also a manager. He holds a negative attitude towards the management mode of "996".

　　Peng Xiang paid great attention to the public opinion trend of "996". Chengdu Wanshouwu, which he founded, is a start-up enterprise. In his view, startups have to adopt the "996" approach, otherwise, compared with large companies, there is not only a gap in market share, but also a gap in working hours.

　　Peng Xiang believes that "996" may be a means of management. "For example, when the company’s previous team can’t rise and can’t bear to give it up, it can only be partially laid off. 996′ perfectly solved such a problem-it not only achieved soft layoffs, but also allowed the remaining employees to supplement the working hours of those who were laid off. "

　　Chen Dayou’s company has invested in more than 70 entrepreneurial projects. Although he has never heard of any entrepreneur asking for "996", he bluntly said that "start-ups all ask for small steps to run quickly, and they must find someone who fits their values to come to the company, otherwise it will be impossible to complete this matter." More importantly, large companies often form a complete talent training system, which can bear the risk of moderate talent flow, which provides conditions for them to implement "996". However, Chen Dayou believes that this is more of a strong point of large companies and does not apply to startups.

　　In Qiang Wenhao’s view, some Internet companies adopt the "996" working system, which is a compromise when there is no better solution to improve efficiency. Even if employees change jobs, they may not be able to solve such problems. "Anyone who is engaged in work overtime can bring benefits and will be’ overtime’. I hope that I can only change industries without working overtime. "

　　"Who knows the original taste of life when the whole people are’ 996′?"

　　"High-intensity overtime makes the middle-aged crisis inevitable for everyone in the workplace." In Qin Zuo’s view, among the 10,000 hazards of overtime, this is more serious than the deprivation of family life and the harm to health.

　　"The essence of the middle-aged crisis lies in the irreconcilable contradiction between people’s declining energy and high-intensity labor." Qin Zuo found that the growth of age is so cruel, even if the enterprise overcomes age discrimination and gives you a job, as long as there is high-intensity overtime, "even if you are not desperate, you can’t do it." Every middle-aged person in the workplace will eventually be kicked out of the top labor market-no matter management or technology. In Qin Zuo’s eyes, this is a trap that middle-aged professionals can’t jump out of.

　　To avoid the trap of middle age, people can only start from youth. At this point, Qiang Wenhao also supports "996". He said that without the overtime system, the starting salary of programmers would not necessarily be so high. For young people, without qualifications, background and ability, health is the greatest capital. Appropriate "996" may give you a job-hopping to an ideal job one day and reserve more confidence.

　　Chen Dayou is used to analyzing "996" enterprises with investor thinking. He said that these enterprises are likely to prove their business model by running data in the starting stage; Or just get new financing and expand at the request of shareholders to get a better valuation. In short, it is all out of the stage of greater pressure.

　　"This stage is more prone to problems. Under the same conditions, some enterprises will be "crushed", but some enterprises will persist. This means opportunity. " Chen Dayou said that entrepreneurs are actually very pure and want to use all their time to finish what they want to do. More preparation must mean more confidence.

　　Li Siwei (pseudonym) works as an iOS development engineer in Shenyang. He has never experienced "996". On the one hand, there are not many IT companies in Shenyang. On the other hand, he will speak frankly with HR before joining the job, and can accept appropriate overtime, but he needs overtime pay and does not accept unconditional overtime.

　　Li Siwei bluntly said that he didn’t have any lofty ideals and ambitions, and didn’t think about how much money he could earn in this life. He just wants to do what he likes and live the life he wants. "Many people don’t understand the labor law at all, and they don’t know what life should be like at all. They have been brainwashed by entrepreneurs in the form of’ struggle’ and’ corporate culture’." Li Siwei raised a question: If "996" is not resisted, who will know the original taste of life when the whole people "996" comes? (Reporter Li Chen He Ningdi)
