Overtime has become 'justifiable', but why are you unwilling to work overtime?
There is a popular saying in the market, "Employees who are unwilling to work overtime are not good employees." Haha, are the employees who take the initiative to work overtime all good employees?
With this question in mind, Lao Wang will tell you a real workplace story.
After a busy day, Pharaoh received a call from a friend when he was about to get off work and asked Pharaoh to have tea together, saying that he felt uncomfortable and wanted to chat with Pharaoh. Pharaoh saw that today's work had been completed, and readily agreed. Hehe, Pharaoh is thinking that the executives of a company are uncomfortable, which shows that there are still serious problems in the management of this company, and it also shows that the employees of this company will be very tired and feel even more uncomfortable.
When this friend saw Lao Wang, he started to complain to Lao Wang after a few words of greeting, saying the reason for his unhappiness. It turned out to be because his wife had to go back to his hometown for a few days, and he had to go home to accompany the children after get off work. He left on the hour for several days in a row, and was scolded by his boss. He also said that in the future, he can’t leave work early. Even if the work is completed, he has to sit in the company and leave after 8 o’clock, so as to cultivate the company’s overtime culture.
His words made Pharaoh a little puzzled, and he asked why your boss knew about you leaving after get off work? Could it be that someone blackmailed you in front of your boss? He said that their boss is not in the company during the day, and he comes to the company every day around the end of get off work. He just sits and plays with his mobile phone when he has nothing to do. The purpose is to see who is working overtime and who is leaving early. In their company, as long as you sit in the company after get off work, even if your performance is not good, you are still a good employee in their eyes...
Hold! Typical capitalist face. When others work here, don't they have time to live independently? Is it okay to give up family and children for a little salary? Work sells time to a company, do you still want to sell your body to the company? ...
A lot of people would scold like that. Pharaoh wants to say that this is no longer a simple matter of scolding, but the beginning of a deformed company management and a deformed company culture.
For professionals, why do they hate working overtime every day, but sometimes they have to work overtime? Pharaoh analyzed that:
Insufficient ability and low work efficiency. They have to work overtime to make up for their lack of work without going all out to do their job well during working hours. Everyone knows this, so I won't say more.
In order to survive, many people in the workplace work overtime and do not work hard. They just waste it like this, and everything is for the leaders to see . For the development of the company, overtime is understandable, but we need to see whether overtime is valuable to the company? If you work overtime just to show the boss, just to post a circle of friends, just to..., if you encounter such an employee who doesn't work hard, just fire it. Pharaoh believes that anyone who uses overtime to post on Moments is a person who does not work seriously, and is just showing off to show off to the boss and colleagues . If everyone in the company follows this example, in the long run, the company will be a company where everyone likes to flatter, and no one is willing to work sincerely, all to show their bosses, such a company will be doomed.
The internal efficiency of the company is low, and it begins to exploit employees' time under the pretext of building company culture, in order to establish the authority of leadership . There is indeed such a company that asks employees to work overtime under the pretext of building a company culture. The purpose is to see if the leader has authority. Haha, if there is such a company, Lao Wang is also drunk. Lao Wang suggested that if you come across such a company that emphasizes formalism and personal colorism, and emphasizes form rather than quality, leave quickly, otherwise it will bring stains on your career development, which is a deduction item.
It's not easy to be a boss, but to understand the boss, especially in such a bad global economic environment. But Lao Wang believes that if a company's employees work overtime for the sake of overtime, work overtime for the sake of the boss's face, and make employees work overtime for the sake of face, it is all hooliganism.
So, as a leader of the company, do you know the real reason why employees are reluctant to work overtime? Pharaoh tell you.
I often work overtime, my body can't bear it, my health is affected, and sometimes I die suddenly due to overtime .
The quality of life declines, that is, there is only work and no life. If things go on like this, the quality of work will also decline .
There is no time to take care of the elderly and children .
As the boss of the company, how can employees do their jobs well without overtime? The solution given by Pharaoh is:
Recruit A-level employees .
Improve team work efficiency and work quality, and go all out to do a good job .
Build less internal formalization, provide executive power, and focus on results .
