Proper involution is ok, which can inspire everyone to work hard in a better direction. But involution is not just competition, but unnecessary competition.
At this time, we should advocate anti-involution. We need that ability on the basis that some things can be done well. We don't need to work towards higher requirements, as long as we meet that requirement. Not that the more, the better. There is no need to do useless work on the basis of what has already been done.
Endless competition, fierce competition
The definition comes from English, originally an anthropological term, which refers to a social or cultural model that stagnates after a certain stage of development and only repeats at a simple level.
In the workplace, involution means abnormal "white-hot competition". In order to compete for limited resources, everyone can only increase working hours and intensity, spend a lot of energy on unnecessary things, but can't find the value and significance of work.
For example, in order to attract more customers, a restaurant in a city started a price war, and all the customers went to their store. Other stores slowly closed down and lost business, which was the result of involution.
