Had an abortion during the National Day holiday
Thread Content
Everything was planned out well: I intended to take three days off around National Day, to combine it with the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and spend some time at home with my family. But with a project under pressure and the equipment supplier conducting tests, we have to go along as well. Ah, plans often don’t work out as intended. The management wants us to keep working on November day; we can take compensatory time off or get overtime pay. But what’s the point of that? It’s originally a day for family reunions, but if I have to rest while my family goes to work, what’s the meaning of it?
The mind automatically added a “go”… Sigh~ The imagination is too wild; what’s the point? There are no exams this year either!
If you can’t change something, just do your best with it. Many years later, this will become an asset for your meetings. Change what can be changed, and accept what cannot.

Usually, a day or two before the holiday, the managers will say that the client wants the project completed right after the holiday, so we have to work extra hours. Without any prior preparation, it leads to disasters. I can only adjust it myself.
Actually, going home during the National Day holiday means heavy traffic on the roads and large crowds in the tourist attractions; it’s not very meaningful. It’s better to get together on regular weekends instead~! ~
Plans can’t keep up with changes; it’s all for living, so just be more understanding!
Think about getting double pay – you earn more money, and that makes things seem more feasible
Then that counts as overtime pay, almost a month’s salary.
There are 4 days with triple pay, and 3 days with double pay.
Overtime pay and compensatory time off? There’s no need to even consider that – of course I’ll go. Many managers ask for overtime work without offering either compensatory time off or overtime pay
