When the leader was about to get off work, he gave feedback to Little A, Little B, and Little C on the revision of the materials, but the leader did not say that the modification must be completed today, and the three did not ask the leader about the deadline. Soon, when it was time to get off work, I watched the other colleagues around me pack up their things, turn off their computers, and leave their workstations; The hearts of the three of them were also about to move.
Go or stay and work overtime? "That's a problem!
Xiao B sent a message to Xiao A and said: "I saw that the leader ordered takeout, does it mean that everyone has to work overtime?" Little A thought to himself: "Yes, Little B's heart is as careful as hair." ”
Xiao A chose to ask the leader directly: "Leader, when will this material be revised?" The leader replied: "If the revision is to be completed today, it needs to be sent to the big leader." Little A sent the screenshot to Little B. Both knew that overtime at night was a certainty. By the time all this happened, Little C was already gone.
Back 20 minutes ago, Xiao C sent a message privately to ask Xiao B: "Do you need to complete the revision of the materials tonight?" ”
It's a pity that Xiao B didn't see the message, and after finding that Xiao B didn't reply for a long time, Xiao C left regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one!
Tonight, the leader and Xiao A, Xiao B have been working overtime for 3 hours, from the setting sun to the beginning of the lights, and then to the twinkling stars.
After returning home, the tired little B was very angry: "What a broken job, if I work overtime like this every day, I really want to quit." But thinking about the beautiful skirt on Tmall, and then thinking about Huabei, she sighed, picked up her mobile phone, and the news of layoffs in large factories was pushed on her mobile phone, "Alas, it's better to have a job than to be idle these days, the economic situation is not good, and you still can't resign rashly." Xiao B let out a long sigh and decided to take a bath first, "Go to bed early tonight so that you have the energy to cope with tomorrow's work!" ”
At this time, Xiao A is also very angry, the object of anger is himself, if he is better, will I still care about this chicken job? The salary is not high, and the few advantages are that it is close to home and the atmosphere is not bad, but it is too immoral to work overtime every day to consume my personal time! I'm a mother of two children, and I can't work hard every day at the expense of life! Xiao A was angry, picked up the mobile phone, slid his fingers, and opened the app, which pushed the ...... of "how to balance work and life for women in the workplace" and "learn structured thinking to make you more competitive in the workplace".Soon Xiao A was attracted to these contents, and after diverting her attention, her emotions calmed down a lot. Before going to bed at night, Xiao A's mind has changed, "I decided to wait for the leader to leave every day, lest the leader think that I have nothing to do, just use the time after work to read, write, and improve my workplace skills!" Thinking about it this way, I changed from passive overtime to taking the initiative to use the time after work to learn and recharge, which is also quite good! With such positive thoughts, Xiao A fell into a sweet dreamland.
Xiao C, who returned home early, did not have the joy of going home, she was nervous, and opened the work group from time to time to see if there was any news. Half an hour later, she received a reply from Xiao B: "I want to complete the revision of the materials today!" She secretly scolded Xiao B in her heart: "Why didn't you say it earlier?!" If Xiao B knew about her slander, he would definitely reply to her: "I only know if you want to work overtime, why don't you ask the leader!" She thought about whether to send a message to the leader saying that she had something to do at night so she left first, and after thinking about it, she forgot it, explaining that she was making excuses for herself. At nine o'clock, the group finally sent the materials that everyone had completed, she had to open the computer in the study, continue to complete her part of the content, and when she finished finding that the clock was already pointing to 12 o'clock, she thought: "Do I want to change jobs?" It's too hard work, and the co-workers don't seem to be friendly. ”
The leader didn't sleep at this time, she remembered the message sent to her by the big leader, "The entire department is going to lay off more than a dozen people, you want to report the layoff list." She silently summed it up: "Xiao A is the core and has strong ability, but there are two children at home, and his willingness to work has declined; Xiao B is very positive, although his ability is not as good as that of Xiao A, but he has momentum; Xiao C's ability is not good, and neither is his will, so let's repay her this time! After deciding on the decision, the leader slept peacefully.
Story-based thinking:
Through this story, we will find that many leaders have a book in mind, and they usually classify employees according to their ability and willingness to work, as shown in the figure below
If you are in the first quadrant, congratulations, a promotion and salary increase are just around the corner. However, with great ability comes great responsibility, and you may need to learn how to balance work and life, and the price of success in the workplace may be family imbalance.
If you are in the second quadrant, it means that in the eyes of the leader, you are a capable person, but you may have your own personality, not necessarily obedient, the leader on the one hand uses you as the core, but will also find ways to motivate you, trying to promote and develop to improve your willingness to work.
If you are in the third quadrant, you should be careful, you are the chicken rib in the eyes of the leader, if you want to lay off employees, you are at a high risk, it is recommended that you either actively study and improve your work ability; Either change your work attitude and be more willing to improve your competitiveness in the workplace.
If you are in the fourth quadrant, you need to seize the time to learn and improve, only then can you have the opportunity to become the backbone in the eyes of the leader, the leader is optimistic about your willingness to work, and he is more looking forward to seeing your work potential.
