We work in the workplace, and sometimes we often need to work overtime, but one thing we need to understand is that we must know how to strike a balance between working overtime and maintaining our health, and not to overwork and damage our health too much. Because if you overdraw your body too much, your work will not last long, and at the same time your body will fall down, which will outweigh the gains.
Zhang Hua has been working in a traditional industry company for more than a year. Because of the heavy and trivial work tasks, overtime is basically his daily normal. When he first arrived, Zhang Hua's work tasks were actually relatively easy, and he could basically finish half an hour in advance every day.
But as time went by, Zhang Hua found that his workload was constantly increasing, from being able to finish early, to reluctantly finishing later, and now basically having to work overtime every day to finish it.
However, because Zhang Hua's work is based on a commission system, the more work he does, the more his salary will increase accordingly. Therefore, although Zhang Hua is a little reluctant, he still accepts the increased workload and has been silently doing. The situation of other employees was the same as Zhang Hua. The boss kept increasing the workload, and everyone started to get busier and busier. There was no time to chat every day.
With the increase of working hours, Zhang Hua felt that his personal time was slowly being occupied, and he gradually began to have no time to do his own things, and his body became very tired. If it weren't for the fact that he still had overtime pay after working overtime, and that he could also get corresponding labor remuneration for completing the work, Zhang Hua would have resigned long ago. But at the current level, Zhang Hua is barely able to accept it.
But one day, when the atmosphere in the office was very dull and everyone was working intensely, the boss came over and patted Zhang Hua on the shoulder. It turns out that the boss has a new business to hand over to Zhang Hua, and hopes that Zhang Hua can complete it as soon as possible. Of course, because this business is urgent, the commission given is also a few points higher than the general one.
Zhang Hua thought that it was the leader's request, and he couldn't refuse it, and its remuneration was more generous than the average, so he could earn more, so after a little thought, he took it. Because of a new business today, Zhang Hua got off work two hours later than usual. After returning home, Zhang Hua also turned on his computer and continued to work until half past eleven before taking a shower and going to bed.
After going to bed, Zhang Hua couldn't help feeling a bit tired, and his head was a little dizzy because of the long work. At this time, Zhang Hua regretted a little. If he didn't make money, it would be great to take over this business. Now his personal time is completely gone. After a wry smile, Zhang Hua turned off the lights and went to sleep. But what Zhang Hua didn't expect was that at two o'clock in the morning, Zhang Hua's cell phone kept ringing, awakening Zhang Hua.
Zhang Hua saw that it was the boss's phone number. Zhang Hua, who was interrupted to rest, was very angry, so he hung up the boss's phone. When he went to work the next day, Zhang Hua was called into the office. As soon as he entered the door, the boss pressed Zhang Hua with a strong tone: "Why didn't you answer my call at 2 o'clock last night?" Zhang Hua got angry when he heard it, and started to respond to the boss.
"Don't you look at what time it is, why don't you ask me why I didn't answer it? It's okay to call after get off work. You call in the middle of the night, don't you just want me to sleep? Is there anything else you want me to do in the middle of the night? Get up and do it? I came to work to earn money, not to die!" After speaking, Zhang Hua felt much more at ease. And the boss at this time, probably no Zhang Hua would respond like this, he was stunned for a while, but he didn't say anything.
After Zhang Hua came out of the boss's office, he was in a better mood. He planned to resign after a while. He has been getting more and more tired recently and feels more and more uncomfortable. Resigning is the best choice. This boss is squeezing, and the second is to ensure his own health and not to break his body.
- Know how to stick to your bottom line
From the above story, we can know how to stick to our bottom line. In the face of some unreasonable demands of the boss, we must know how to refuse. For example, Zhang Hua in the above, after realizing the problem, he knows how to immediately insist on his own. Bottom line, refuse to be unrestrictedly squeezed by the boss. Only by knowing how to stick to our bottom line can we protect our legitimate rights and interests and avoid unfair infringement.
- Don’t trade your health for money
Second, one thing we can still know is not to exchange your health for money. When we are young, we can use health to pay back money, but when we are older, money may not be able to exchange for health, and we have to endure the pain of physical discomfort. So when we first started, we must know how to take care of our bodies and not exchange our bodies for money.
