4月28日，广东省珠海市香洲区正式印发《香洲区解决形式主义突出问题为基层减负工作措施》，其中规范香洲区直属各单位、各镇街等单位微信工作群、新媒体账号管理是28条措施之一。
其内容包括：
原则上一个单位只建一个工作群！
发言要有内容不得随意刷屏点赞！
原则上非工作时间不发布工作信息！
因专项工作组建的微信群在结束工作后应及时解散！
……
虽然涉及人员范围很小，但至少是个好的开始。
那么，香洲区的政府基层工作人员们，真的要迎来美好生活了？
At the end of April, the government of Xiangzhou district in the city of Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, officially issued a series of regulations on WeChat group chats in the workplace and official social media accounts, in response to the Communist Party's earlier requirements to reduce the burden on community-level officials.
Specifically, the measures include the following requirements: one workplace can normally have no more than one WeChat group chat; no work-related message should be sent when off work except for emergencies; group chats created for specific project must be disbanded afterwards.
Though it only applies to community-level officials in one particular district, It sure sounds like a good start, especially to all Chinese employees who have long been troubled by the unwritten rule of WeChat standby 24/7, enabled by the invention of group chats.
But can it truly be that easy?
有了微信群，下班只是换个地方工作
微信群扰人久矣。
起初，与所有的科技发明一样，微信的发明应该要让生活变得越来越方便。结果不知不觉，它就成了一种枷锁。
各种朋友小团体建起了微信群，然后所有的工作小团体也建起了微信群。
每时每刻都可以和朋友互通消息，也意味着每时每刻都要回复同事、老板、客户的消息。
2018年7月，浙江宁波一位怀孕女职工因深夜未在十分钟内回复微信群内工作消息被辞退。
尤瓦尔?赫拉利在《人类简史》中说，
“……在今天，我每天都会收到几十封电子邮件，而且所有人都希望你立刻响应。我们以为自己省下了时间，然而，我们其实只是把生活的步调加速成过去的十倍快，于是我们整天忙忙碌碌、焦躁不安。”
把几十封电子邮件换成几千条微信消息试试？
今天的我们，享受着微信带来的便利，也被它牢牢困住。
It is hard to trace back to the people who first used WeChat for work purposes.
We only know for a fact that, once it was initiated, the trend became non-stoppable – 24/7 instant messaging with friends, as well as colleagues, bosses, and clients.
Today, with such a huge part of our life integrated into WeChat, it's not easy to simply throw it in the fountain. We are enjoying enormous convenience.
网友：大快人心，但钉钉怕是要接棒
对于被微信工作群困扰已久的绝大多数上班族而言，这项规定无疑是大快人心。
For many people who have been held hostage by incessant after-hour WeChat messages, the policy has been a long time coming.
短短一天内，微博热搜话题#微信群下班不许发工作消息#已达到3.5亿阅读量，讨论数超3.6万。
大批网友在评论区流水线式表示赞同：
更有外地网友“热切期盼”将这项规定全国普及：
One day after the policy was instituted, the "No business messages after work" hashtag skyrocketed to be one of the trending topics on Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, with over 360,000 discussions – most of them welcoming and urging it to be introduced across the country.
然而，获赞数最高的评论是这样说的：
互联网公司的上班族们，想必对“钉钉”并不陌生。
While this might seem to be a promising start towards banning unsolicited after-work-messages, other netizens have also expressed concerns over DingTalk – a similar "enterprise app" that appears to be just another "nightmare" for employees no better than WeChat.
“钉钉”是阿里巴巴集团于2014年推出的一款移动办公通讯工具，因具有考勤打卡、多人电话群聊、消息已读、日志周报等功能而备受企业青睐。
Launched by Alibaba Group back in 2014, DingTalk is a mobile and desktop app for enterprises that aims to, in the company's words, "redefine workspace in a smart and simple way."

它还能随时“DING你一下”——无论接收手机是否安装“钉钉”，是否开启网络流量，均可收到“DING消息”。
然而，这样一款意在“提升中国企业沟通和协同效率”的软件，却被很多网友视为继微信之后的又一职场“绑架工具”。
The app has a series of functions that can compete with WeChat in terms of serving as a work tool. Some of its most iconic features include the "Smart Attendance" system which can keep track of employee's attendance records; the "Message Read Status" function that automatically shows that your message has been delivered and read; and also the "Ding It" feature that makes sure the recipients never miss a message by alerting them through phone, text messages and all sorts of in-app notifications.
知乎提问“在公司被迫使用钉钉是怎样的一种体验”已获得超1,000个回答。
不过，也有网友表示，归根结底“钉钉”的出发点是好的，如何使用，则全看企业的管理方式。
相比之下，国外企业的管理方式则相对成熟。不同行业有所不同，但一般而言，用邮件工作被视为“基本礼仪”，下班时间不回复邮件也是“理所应当”。
与此同时，工作地点的灵活度也相对较高，特殊情况下，“在家办公”或“远程办公”（"work from home"）也是被允许的，甚至已慢慢演变成为一种时尚。
反观国内企业环境——无论是微信工作群也好，“钉钉”也罢，政策能否落地施行，有一点是很重要的：
规定有了，却如何执行？
新规虽好，落实不易。
最直接的问题便是：谁来监督？又如何惩罚？
靠员工举报——就问问在职的员工敢吗？
即便是有人举报了，且查实了，怎么罚？
处理个人还是单位？
罚钱还是拘禁？
发现几次写检查反省，几次降职降薪？
更别提电话、QQ和钉钉的存在了。
所以，规定想要真的落实，还有数不清的障碍需要克服。
据称，当地区政府将进一步细化措施，来规范微信群的管理。所以上面这些问题，八成有人会去思考和解决。
但从另一个角度来说，政府对个人通讯软件的使用进行规范管理，真的是件好事吗？
或许，当下只能两害相较取其轻。毕竟全国打工者对于逃离24小时微信工作制有着同样迫切的心愿——
@梦断寒岭的心碎：应该全国立法，不管什么平台都一样，且要保持扫黄一样的持续高压。
With new regulations, come new questions: how to implement it? Who will supervise it? And what will be the punishment?
None of the above is clear. The local government has said it will further refine the measures to ensure they can be effectively implemented.
But even if there is a successful implementation, we have one more thing to ponder: Is it actually good for the government to interfere with people's private use of mobile instant messaging apps? And does government have the right?
For now, we may only choose what's more pressing. After all, the urge to escape from 24/7 WeChat standby is stronger than ever.
数数你有几个工作微信群？
小编竟然只有15个！（咦
