"Uncle Intern": Healing the trauma of IT migrant workers

Although it is regarded as a Google company propaganda film by netizens, "Uncle Intern" has more people's feelings than "Social Network" for those who work in Internet companies. . The introduction of the film said that for the technology house that regards Google as a holy land, "Uncle Intern" has unveiled the mystery of Google. Well, let's take a look at why Google has become the holy land in the eyes of technology houses. .

For every it migrant worker who works overtime and is blinded, the creativity, spirit, sense of responsibility, and artistic level that filmmakers pay attention to are clouds and dust. Only movies that generously comfort their sensitive areas are good movies. We are not the trendsetters of the times, nor can we become Ding Lei and Zhang Chaoyang. We are just curious and passionate little dicks who work hard in Internet companies as soon as we graduate. The aura of high-tech industries above our heads is covered by the company's external corporate culture. , Working hard, sore back and back. However, we are far from "money" in sales, no civil servants have a future, no state-owned enterprise workers have good welfare, and no farmers have more opportunities. Frankly speaking, my "program ape" colleagues and I have not even survived. The owner of the jujube cake shop downstairs has a clear heart.

In the days when Internet companies were mixed up, people’s most violent feeling was the word “time”. There was always not enough time at work, and the extra time when reporting overtime was never counted...Of course, the most important thing was the first two years. You are still a newcomer who just graduated, and in a blink of an eye, the next generation of highly educated elite little hairy kids will join the company to grab credit. One day on the Internet, one year in the world, people coming and going in the company, and dynasties are changing rapidly. There are no employees who are 40-year-olds or small clerks, and only 29-year-olds are regarded as elderly IT migrant workers. Here, you can either get into the top while you are young, or you can make a living while you are young, neither of which can be done, you have to get a partner while you are young. Otherwise, when they are eliminated by the industry, they have to be treated as leftover men and women and be given social relief.

Based on this kind of living environment, you can think of how touching the story of laid-off sales and changing programmers in "Uncle Intern" is for Internet practitioners. A company that is willing to accept middle-aged people who have no Internet experience to enter the company for internships and give them a chance to become a regular company is far more than a high-end canteen with Google chefs and a lounge full of imported snacks." Googliness" spirit. How to treat employees with different cultures, backgrounds and educational backgrounds, how to see the shining points of value in different people, and how to ensure that older employees are not ridiculed and forced to death in the workplace. This is the company's welfare that it is most concerned about! !

The most interesting thing is that, in addition to showing the corporate culture of writing Google throughout, the film also spares no effort in admiring Google products: google plus, gmail, chrome...So everyone thinks that Google must have invested money and made such a big advertisement. , As a result... As a result... there is no~! How sacred is a company that can make Hollywood rush to film and hug thighs without spending money! (Text/Song Xiaoka)

    Okay, very standard genre film, no surprises at all, every character is standardized. But the protagonists are very lovable, especially in the bar and after.
