A friend’s visit today revealed the embarrassment and helplessness of a man in his early 40s

Today, a friend came to the company to make tea. We probably haven't seen each other for half a year, because his working place is not in Xiamen, but in Beijing, but his head office and family are in Xiamen, and he belongs to the head of the overseas business.

Actually, his age is not much different from me, but he is mostly gray-haired. It seems that the performance pressure of part-time job is also great. I have not gray-haired in the past two years, but on the day the epidemic began, my hair fell a lot. Poor middle-aged man. I had some business dealings with him, and he helped me promote some businesses in the northern market. There were a few projects that were sold, and everyone made some money together.

In fact, Fujian people are in a good chat state. Drinking tea and talking about things, they drink less alcohol and delay things. He drank a sip of tea, a little depressed, and told me that he had divorced his wife for several months. I said, isn’t your usual relationship very good? He said that the market situation in the past two years is not good, and sometimes it’s not convenient to come back often when encountering an epidemic. Once I went to the Beijing station, I didn’t come back for more than half a year. It turned out to be like this for two or three days after being able to come back. In fact, it was all about getting together and leaving more trouble. A woman had to go to work at home, and she had to bring two children. It was really tiring.

I asked him what to do. He said that he wanted to quit his job and come back to find a new job. I said, can the boss adjust it for you and bring it back. He said that there is no suitable place for a carrot, so he can only resign and find a new job, but People are embarrassed when they see his age, and his business relationships are not here, they are all in Beijing, and coming back is almost like starting over again, and the salary is definitely much worse. I said, I still have to take care of the family. I must come back when I come back. It’s good to get used to it for a while. I ate a simple meal with him at noon and talked about the most suitable project. Then I left. Before leaving, he specially called I will pay attention to see if there is a suitable company to recruit people, I said it will.

Actually, it’s okay to come back, and it’s impossible to keep drifting outside. This is also one of the reasons why I chose to do it myself and choose to start a business near my home, but at that time I was in my early 30s and still had that drive. The road to part-time work is indeed a big hurdle to reach the age of 40. The physical strength and energy are not as good as that of young people, and the burden and pressure of the family are great. In fact, when he comes back, his income will be reduced a lot, and whether he will adapt to the new job. He is engaged in the development of large customers. If he finds the same job, he will have to face frequent business trips. If the nature of the job is changed, it will be great. Reduced income,Starting a business is a very risky road, and there is no capital, because most of his income is used to provide loans for houses in Xiamen (the average house price in Xiamen is about 50,000, and it’s fine for himself), as well as expenses for the elderly and children. Will face more problems. But now that the husband and wife are having problems, the only way to solve the problem of the husband and wife gathering less and more divorce, first come back and talk about it.

The career plan of part-time job really needs to be planned early. I think a large number of people should face the same problem.
