Your 'full attendance award' is dragging you down

01

I went back to my hometown on Ching Ming Festival and had a dinner with some friends I hadn’t seen for many years. A friend was late for work, and he didn’t come to meet us until halfway through the dinner.

This friend has always been a good boy in the class when he was in school. He was never late and rarely made mistakes. After work, he always insisted on the quality of not being late, but now it has become a full-time commitment.

He was the employee who received the most attendance award in the company last year. He never took a leave of absence for personal reasons in a year, let alone arrived late and left early.

He also never tires of telling us the importance of full attendance, and even said that his goal this year is to win the full attendance award.

We all praised him as a good employee who knew how to dedicate himself to the company, and even toasted him for this, congratulations to his company for getting such a good employee.

But is this really normal? Let's take a look:

After graduating from his undergraduate degree, he joined this unit to work and has worked for 10 years now, but his position has hardly changed, except for the annual salary increase, which is the full attendance award.

He has been married to his wife for 10 years, has an 8-year-old child, and has never sent his child to school once;

His parents are 70 years old, and every time they go to the hospital for a check-up, they do it by themselves;

He hadn't even read a book or attended a training class, because he forced himself to take breaks every time he had a holiday, in order to be "full attendance" during normal working hours.

How hard does a person have to work to see full attendance as his goal?

How much care does a person have to be in the workplace 365 days a year?

How intoxicated does a person really need to be to live under his anesthesia?

Attendance award is the poison for you to be content with the status quo.

The attendance award not only encourages people to work hard, but more importantly binds people's hearts to the company, with a seemingly simple and seemingly positive goal that is difficult to achieve. Just like we open Alipay every day to "collect energy" to plant trees and steal vegetables before, we set a small goal for us to achieve every day, but achieving such a small goal has little meaning in our work. .

However, as employees, especially hard-working employees, it is easy to be intoxicated by this illusion, thinking that this is our own goal, and if we fail to achieve it, we will even have a great sense of dissatisfaction. But let’s think about it, is this kind of goal really useful for our personal growth, apart from being squeezed without limits and getting very few attendance awards?

The Attendance Award has put a complete anesthesia on you personally, making you intoxicated with the company's transactional work, feeling that you are working hard, but it is all in vain.

Attendance Award is the stumbling block for your family harmony

A marriage needs to be managed, and a family needs to spend time and energy to maintain it.

The roles we play in marriage also take time and effort to play well.

Blindly asking for, not knowing what to pay back, and giving, will soon overdraw the energy of family harmony, leading to a red light in marriage.

For example, your lack of education for your children may cause your life to collapse after the age of 50;

Your lack of concern for your parents' health has resulted in you needing a lot of money to treat their ailments;

Your indifference to your wife is likely to bring about a series of serious family crises

Your "full attendance award" is dragging you down

Those so-called "full attendance awards" are just a result, not a goal;

Those who often get the "full attendance award" have either mediocre careers, weak families, or more of both.
