She was reborn five times, messed up the same big project, but became a workplace legend.
Data project manager Trillion fell into a terrifying workplace cycle——
Every time she worked hard to push the company's star-level AI project "Floor Line" to the pinnacle of success, she would wake up at the celebration banquet and find herself reborn back to the first day of the project's launch.
The death cycle begins.
-In the first life, she was both humble and arrogant, which resulted in the collapse of her team and her inner emptiness.
-In her second life, she was extremely rational and used processes to control everything, but she suffered a backlash from people's hearts.
-In the third life, she played tricks and thought she was able to do things with ease, but in the end it was not as good as God.
-In the fourth life, she was completely numb and became a structurally perfect puppet, but received a diagnosis of "emotional dissociation".
External success is achieved again and again. The emptiness in her heart dragged her back to the starting point again and again.
So when she woke up for the fifth time and faced her boss, star product manager, talented engineer, and outsourcing team again - she chose to change her "way to die."
This time, she may still mess up the project herself.
But this time, it may be the first time that she has truly "made it" herself.
——
To everyone who has ever felt tired, struggling, or wandering in the workplace:
This is not a story about "conquering" the world.
This is a story about "how to protect your perfect self in an imperfect world."
If you have also experienced a trillion lives.
Then there may be an answer waiting for you in the story.
May we all find ourselves at the end of trillions of reincarnations,
Find the path with a clear conscience.
Reader comments
To every dear reader:
You may have felt similar to Trillion's fatigue late one night.
This story stems from my observation of the countless "trillions" around me and in the contemporary Internet workplace.
We are often trapped in OKRs, horse racing mechanisms and infinite needs, trudging between so-called values and true intentions.
If you are experiencing one trillion lives, I hope you can be in the story:
See your own reflection, but don't have to make the same mistakes she made.
I hope that every decision she makes can provide you with a reference;
May every rebirth of her bring you comfort.
Please believe that the mental calamity you have experienced is not because you are not good enough.
And we will eventually, like Trillion, find the way to reconcile with our hearts after countless questionings.
This book is my conciliatory letter to workplace anxiety.
This is not a standard answer, I just want to tell you: you are not alone.
This book might also be a gift.
May the trillions of reincarnations in five lifetimes be able to resolve any obsession in your heart.
Work is never everything in life;
And life will eventually find its own way.
