週六,《信報》以大篇幅報導富士康員工跳樓案。在歸納悲劇成因時,提到有人以為是青年心理質素軟弱,難抵工作和社會壓力;又有人認為企業的高度分工,令工作變得單調苦悶,加上其「軍法式」管治,給員工造成龐大精神壓力,致令他們走上不歸路。
無可否認,現今年青一輩,心靈確實脆弱,這都是拜人權高漲、長輩溺愛所賜。「一孩政策」令新生代集萬千寵愛於一身,加上學校近年視學生為顧客,服務周全,一眾青年便誤以為自己能呼風喚雨,凡事必會一帆風順。可惜職場並沒有為此作出相應調節。競爭加劇,工作環境只有愈變愈差。試問在溫室培育出來的小花,又怎能抵禦外頭的狂風暴雨?
工作苦悶好像是近年新興的話題,但想及父輩在製衣廠剪線頭的日子,豈非比現今的工作更單調乏味?不過,時代進步了,總不能永遠往回想。長輩成長的歲月,是衣食不足的年代,他們為了生計疲於奔命,又怎會有餘閒去「知榮辱」?只有現今衣食無憂的一群,才擁有纖細的心,計較成敗得失。
姑勿論這「十連跳」的原因為何,我相信大家都不希望同類悲劇再次發生。雖然以死者大造文章,感覺很不道德,但希望透過各界的分析,能給政府和企業一點啟示,好想出對應之策。最後,希望死者家屬節哀順變,死者一路好走。
My understanding of those Foxconn suicides is that these very young people from all over China are making more money than they could ever imagine.

I agree with your second paragraph about them being spoiled rotten. So to take the point one step further, maybe Jackie Chan was right after all. Chinese in China are not capable of self government.

Chestnut, you're not supposed to agree with me.

I'd expected you to tell me that I was getting old and turning into one of those despicable 維園阿伯, or at the very least, that I'm losing my marbles, and need to be "de-programmed"...
死喇,我就嚟變土共喇...

Every time I write about the new generation, I feel depressed. I believe that some of the 八十後 and 九十後 have vision, but most of them just got lost when they were growing up - and they're supposed to be pillars of society! :(
我其實想回應上一篇. 下女我都超有興趣,不過是為了看李政宰.
回覆刪除[版主回覆05/24/2010 08:11:00]我相信李政宰會演得出色, 好期待看他倆的演出
80's 後 和 90's 後最大的問題只學識了表達但忘記學習聽。
回覆刪除[版主回覆05/29/2010 21:00:00]對。新一代的成長環境太富裕,令他們以為很多事都是理所當然,世界一定會跟著他們轉。
