To make money from a side business, the boss asked: Is the assessment pressure not enough? Main business and side business can only choose one
Nowadays, many people who are working will basically find a side business to do it. On the one hand, they can learn different knowledge and on the other hand, they can give themselves an extra income. But not long ago, there was a post that caught everyone's attention.
It turned out that the netizen found a side business while working, but was discovered by the boss. The boss thinks that the netizen is looking for a side business because the work pressure is not enough, and there is still time to do other things, and he wants him to choose to resign or quit the side business.
Netizens felt unconvinced, so they resisted a few words with the boss, thinking that it was not wrong for them to find a side business, and the boss never said that they could not find a side business. The boss may have a bad influence on other employees of the company because of such behavior, so he must choose one or the other, and the netizens shared their experiences while being angry.
Other netizens commented after seeing the situation. Some people said that the boss was a little unreasonable, but others believed that it was the fault of the netizens themselves.
After all, the fact that he was looking for a side business has been discovered by the boss, indicating that the side business has spent more energy and time than the main business, causing the boss to be dissatisfied. Others believe that this is nothing to be angry about. Since it was discovered and the boss gave a warning, in order to maintain the best interests, they should quit their side jobs.
In fact, it is very common to find side jobs, especially for college students or new employees who have not worked for a long time. They usually have more spare time, so they will find some side jobs to do. But when there is a conflict between the side business and the main business, we need to think carefully and do the following things well.
First, distinguish the boundaries between main and sideline businesses
It is said that the main business and the side business are like human hands, the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh, and they can both improve their lives and obtain a source of income. However, when there is a conflict between the main business and the side business, for example, when the boss finds out, or we need to spend more time and energy on the main business to get promotion, it is necessary to distinguish the rights and interests of the main business and the side business.
In peacetime, we must recognize that the main business is the most stable and the main work that can give ourselves development opportunities and room for improvement. Although the side business can be done only by occupying leisure time, it is unstable after all, there are too many unknown factors, and the development space is extremely limited. Therefore, we should distinguish between the main business and the side business, and when the two are incompatible, we still have to keep the most important.
Second, work requires a sense of responsibility
Having chosen a job as the basis for our existence, we need to take responsibility for that job. In the case of netizens, many bosses will feel that this is the netizen's extremely irresponsible work, so they will not concentrate on work, but find other things to do.
Being responsible for our work doesn't mean we can't find a side hustle, but that we need to complete our primary task first. Side jobs are easy to distract us. Although we can learn some other knowledge, we can't do it in our own position. The older generation has been skilled and experienced for countless years. Correct the mentality, go all out for the primary matter that you should be responsible for, and you can have a side business, but it should not affect our negligence and irresponsibility for our own positions.
Third, improve communication skills
When many people encounter problems with their leaders or bosses, they often confront their superiors because they can't help it for a while, or simply fight back in person. Although doing so can experience the pleasure of speaking out, but soon, we will regret and worry about it.
Improve your communication skills, not only to colleagues but also to leaders. Everyone says that good eloquence can make good things happen. When communicating, you must remain calm, do not be impulsive, and do not act impulsively. If you really can't bear this breath, at this time, take a deep breath for seven seconds, the temper you want to lose will be dissipated, and then you can communicate normally. Pay attention to the tone of voice and the speed of speech. The speed of speech is moderate and the tone of voice is soft. Although everyone has advocated a humanized relationship with the leaders, the respect that should be given still needs to be done. Don't ask the boss about the side business. After all, it is the boss who pays the salary. We can't make a choice. The boss will naturally choose to fire us.
Seeing this, do you also think that it is inappropriate for netizens to talk to the boss like this? Think netizens should quit their side jobs? If you have a better way to solve this problem, welcome to share your tips.
