“加班狗”是怎樣煉成的？

Long working hours are a way of life in China, no matter what the industry. According to one estimate by a researcher at Beijing Normal University, Chinese workers log an average of 2,000-2,200 working hours each year – far higher than their counterparts in the United States (1,790 hours per year), the Netherlands (1,419), Germany (1,371) and even Japan (1,719), according to OECD statistics.

長時間的工作在中國已經成為一種生活方式，所有行業(yè)都難以幸免。根據北京師范大學的一位研究人員的估測數據，中國的員工每年工作時間平均在2000到2200小時，比美國員工(年均1790小時)，荷蘭員工(年均1419小時)，德國員工(1371小時)甚至是日本員工(1719小時)都要長，以上數據來源于經合組織。

In one video that went viral this summer, an amateur Shanghai choir devoted a tongue-in-cheek song to their status as “overtime dogs” – a slang term for white-collar workers – entitled “My Body Is Hollowed Out.”

在今年夏天中國流行的一段視頻中，上海一支業(yè)余合唱團演唱了一首獻給“加班狗”的搞笑歌曲《感覺身體被掏空》，“加班狗”是對白領的謔稱。

The workplace culture in China’s start-up scene is even more demanding than in Silicon Valley, says Gary Rieschel, the US co-founder of Qiming Venture Partners, which has backed smartphone maker Xiaomi.

啟明創(chuàng)投的美國聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人蓋里-瑞斯徹表示，中國初創(chuàng)企業(yè)的工作文化甚至比美國硅谷公司還要苛求。啟明創(chuàng)投曾投資智能手機生產商小米公司。
