Why do leaders like to make employees work overtime? The reasons are very complicated, two of them are the old fritters in the workplace
To say what the leader hates the most in the workplace, one of them is the meeting to the end, the leader said that I will briefly say a few words at the end. Another is that the leader said that everyone should work hard and work overtime at night. Not to mention the hard work overtime, and no overtime pay.
Here I can't help but think about whether overtime is necessary under normal circumstances. It is very inefficient to have to drag overtime to finish things that can be done normally. But many leaders just like to let employees work overtime. Why is this?
There are three reasons, listen to Xiaobian to tell you slowly.
- Support your own performance ===============================
Competition is everywhere in the workplace. Don't assume that competition for junior staff is fierce. In fact, the competition at the top of the company is more intense, and all means are used. Of course, the basics still need to have work performance. When I was still a small employee, it was no problem to go it alone. Just do the things that the leader has explained and finish it, and then flatter the leader, maybe it will be a promotion and a salary increase.
But when it comes to leadership, things are different. The first thing to be responsible for is not a single thing, but a systematic task. At this time, no matter how strong the leadership is, it is useless. So you need your staff to help you. But there are so many hours at work every day. After completing the normal work, there is time for the employees to do their own private work. There is no other way but to work overtime.
- Do it for your superiors ===========================
Many people have leaders in their WeChat, so there is a very strange phenomenon, working overtime in WeChat Moments. The purpose is to let the leaders see. Of course, many leaders still like this. So how do you work overtime as a department leader? How can the leaders see it? Of course, you can't bask in the same way as ordinary employees.
The best way is to speak up and get the entire department to stay and work overtime. Doing so shows the superior leadership, not only to stay, but also to drive the entire department to stay together. Use the collective overtime of subordinates to form an illusion of working hard. Naturally, you can preach to the ears of your superiors. How can the superior leaders not praise it when they hear it?
- Test employee compliance ===========================
In fact, the leader has come all the way from the grassroots employees, and he knows exactly what the employees have in mind. When I said that I had to work overtime, a lot of people would be unhappy. But that's what leaders want.
Could it be that there are so many contradictions that I have to engage in when I am not good-natured? It is just that smart leaders need to come up with some contradictions from time to time. There are three advantages to doing so. The first is to see how strongly the leader has control over the department; the second is to see which thorns are dissatisfied with the leader, and then use the company's name to deal with them, so as to eliminate the unstable factors in the team to remove. Finally, through observation, to see which employees are resolutely obedient to the implementation of the things they have arranged, and these employees will be promoted to do things for themselves. It can be said to accomplish many things with one fell swoop.
Of course, this kind of obedience test involves both push and pull, and compensation after one round of testing, so that you can relax your mind. It's like giving a slap in the face and giving a sweet date.
