职场”裸辞”进行时
“裸辞”是我最近在中国听到次数特别多的一个名词，顾名思义就是“在没有下一份工作意向的时候就辞掉目前的工作”。

伦敦的朋友不会这样不管不顾
Ma，是国际招聘组织——罗迈国际一直沟通的候选人：毕业于名牌大学，在一家著名的审计公司工作超过三年，刚刚被提升为主管，这是一个最佳的寻求新工作的时机。然而，今年春节过后，他毅然决然地辞职了，而且通知罗迈国际的顾问，暂时不看任何机会。这就是所谓的“裸辞”。
原来，经过三年的天天加班、频繁出差，Ma发现自己完全没有交过女朋友，没有照顾家人，自己所有的兴趣爱好都荒废了，他觉得失去了自己。于是，在节后老板再次通知他出差的时候，Ma没有拎上行囊出发，而是花三分钟写了一个辞职信，潇洒地离开了公司。
作为罗迈国际首席执行官，潘瑞宝表示，很难想象自己在伦敦的朋友会这样不管不顾——他们很可能在每月20日就用光了上个月的工资，然后在一大堆到期信用卡购物账单、房租等生活费用中喘不上气来，甚至需要向公司提前预支工资度日。这是他在中国生活了7年多体会很深的不同。
“裸辞”只因家庭做后盾
其实，“裸辞”，即“在没有下一份工作意向的时候就辞掉目前的工作”，已经成为当前职场的一种现象。一项调查显示，在8064位受访者中，有超过43%的人有过裸辞或者正在考虑裸辞。这部分受访者中又有超过半数的人表示，之所以这样做的主要原因是从自己的工作中无法获得满足或快乐。追求工作与生活的平衡和个人幸福感，已经被越来越多中国年轻人列为目标，“裸辞”成为了这一标准变化的集中体现。
潘瑞宝分析，中国人喜欢存款，这与中国建国初期相对困难的经济情况有关。那时，物资不够丰富，自己存一些以应对变化。尽管现在中国经济迅猛发展，很多一线城市，如北京、上海、广州与纽约无异，但这种节约的习惯还是作为传统保留下来，尤其是现在已经为人父母的一辈，大多有不少可以应对各种危机的银行存款或其他资产。所以，很多人不会太过担心一段时间没有收入的生活。同时，中国人的家庭观念非常强，孩子即使已经大学毕业并且找到工作，仍然可以从父母那里获得很多生活上的支持，比如共享房屋，比如在自己经济困难时接受父母的帮助。当然，孩子们在自己财务状况良好的时候也会给父母财物上的
支持。这种相互支援，并不分清各自财务的状况在中国家庭非常普通和普遍，就如在英国，孩子毕业就会经济独立一样普通和普遍。这也是现在中国年轻人敢于突然辞职的一个客观条件，拥有家庭做后盾，没有后顾之忧。
“裸辞”反映职场观念转变
潘瑞宝认为，除去物质上的变化之外，造成最近更多“裸辞”现象的另一心理原因可能更为重要，即现在中国年青一代尤其是80后，更多关注自己的工作幸福感和成就感，追求工作和生活的平衡，这与中国老一辈的工作者非常不同。
一项针对“裸辞”原因的调查显示，48.65%的人选择了“手头工作太累、赚得少，还不如在家休息”，27.03%的人选择了“我已经用手头的工作赚了一笔钱，可以去旅游一趟了”，还有24.32%的人则选择了“手头的工作没什么价值和前途，我要回去充电”。潘瑞宝表示，这是一个好的现象，一个成熟、进步的就业市场理应关注工作者的幸福感。当职场人士不幸福时，“裸辞”实在是最后一个选择，因为其成本最高。总有其他的方法，比如沟通，可以解决90%以上的问题。人总不能一辈子都不工作，做好整体职业规划，判断自己目前的位置，然后考虑如何可以达到自己的目标。
潘瑞宝特别表示，一些年轻人希望“裸辞”之后寻找一份完美工作。事实上，这个世界上真的没有所谓的“完美工作”。很多人希望有一份工作高薪、高福利、休假多、从不加班、所有同事都是天使、受人尊敬而且还离你家很近……但是，现实永远就是现实。所以，在准备辞职之前，一定要思考，再思考。本报记者 郑勇

One of the hot phrases during the rounds recently in China is “naked resignation” – which means quitting a job without lining up another.
It is well known that Chinese people are the model of hard work and diligence, and “naked resignation” would have been beyond imagination 10 years ago when I first came to China.
According to a recent survey covering 8,064 respondents by Global Times and Sohu.com, more than 43 percent had done, or were considering, “naked resignation”. Among them, more than half explained that the main reason was the lack of satisfaction and happiness at work. Nowadays, an increasing number of Chinese youth are pursuing a balance between work and life and personal happiness. My company, RMG Selection, is a China-focused specialist HR and recruitment consultancy. Our consultants contact thousands of job-hunters or outstanding candidates and one of them told me a very interesting story about a candidate, Ma.
Ma was a typical rising star: a graduate from a prestigious university, he worked at a famous audit firm for more than three years and had just been promoted as supervisor. This was the optimum opportunity to look for a new job. However, right after the Chinese New Year, which is regarded as the best time for job-hopping, Ma decided to resign, and told our consultant not to offer him new positions for the moment.
Why did Ma do so? Because he feels that he had lost himself: in the past three years, Ma had to regularly work overtime and go on business trips frequently, and he found that he had no time to take care of his family, be in a relationship and to continue his hobbies. Therefore, when the boss asked him to go on a business trip after the Spring Festival, Ma just spent three minutes to write a resignation letter and leave the company.
It’s really hard to imagine such a situation happening to my friends in London, who find it quite difficult to make ends meet given the high cost of living. This is quite different from Chinese people according to my personal experiences. Chinese people prefer saving, a legacy of the economic hardships during the earlier stages of New China. Although China’s economy is booming and many first-tier cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, offer expensive temptations similar to be found in New York, the habit of saving has been retained, especially among those who have children. Most of them have acquired assets to deal with various crises. Therefore, even though they have no income for a period of time, they don’t have to worry too much.
In addition, family plays an important part in Chinese culture. Even if their children have already graduated from universities and got a job, parents still offer them a lot of support, such as sharing a house or financial assistance for a downpayment. Of course, children support their parents when they are in a good financial situation. This phenomenon is very common in China, just as children have to be economically independent after graduation in the West. This solid family backing is another reason why Chinese youth dare to resign abruptly.
Apart from material changes, another important factor leading to “naked resignation” lies in the mentality of Chinese youth, especially the post-80s generation. They focus more on career happiness and achievement and pursue a balance between work and life, which is quite different from the older generation. At the end of last year, Qianjiang Evening News conducted a survey aimed at investigating the reasons of “naked resignation”. In this survey, 48 percent of the respondents preferred to stay at home due to the heavy workload and poor salary, while 27 percent considered their current jobs valueless and meaningless, so they would like to resign and study more.
Personally speaking, I do think this is a good phenomenon, for a mature and advanced job market should attach great importance to workers’ happiness. Nevertheless, there are always other solutions, such as communication, and usually it can solve as much as 90 percent of the problems. We cannot always stay at home without working. Most importantly, we must never be impetuous.
Some young people hope to get a perfect job after “naked resignation”. But I have to say there is no “perfect job” in the world. If you can really find such a job, please do let me know!
