How do you think about voluntary overtime in the workplace?

It's not that there is no real voluntary overtime, but it's not much.

The workplace norm for most people is to be "voluntarily" working overtime.

Being voluntary", there are also two situations.

One is active "being voluntary", and the other is passive "being voluntary", you say awkward or not.

Taking the initiative to "be voluntary", in other words, watching others roll, you can't be a wall-to-side, you can't be indifferent, and you must resolutely avoid being shameless.

Taking the initiative to "be voluntary" is inevitably common in large factories. The company is good, the platform is high, and the banknotes are leveraged, but it is also really tiring.

Another way to say that the benefits are good is that there is a lot of work, a lot of overtime, and the kind that I can't wait to earn and spend without life.

If there are more lice, you don't have to bite, if you have more debts, you don't have to worry, and if you have more work, it's not a big deal. Can you still throw it at someone else?! That's money! You are willing, your boss, your colleagues, your subordinates are still unwilling.

What to do? Roll up. In addition to rolling it yourself, you just hope that others will not roll it. If you don't roll, you can't keep up with the rhythm, and if you can't keep up with the rhythm, you will be at the bottom, and if you are at the bottom, you will have no performance, and if you don't have performance, you will not make money, and you will face optimization and elimination.

If you don't push it hard, you really can't do it. If you don't stand on it, a good opportunity will beckon you and say goodbye.

It's not a big factory, it's a lot of work, and it's a natural volume. But the better the place, the more monks have less porridge. If you want to continue to drink that sweet porridge, you have to take the initiative to "be voluntarily" worked overtime.

There is no solution to this phenomenon. The reason for the insolution lies in the fact that there is a pit for a radish and a pit for a radish squat. One less, someone on top at any time.

In contrast, passive "voluntary" overtime work is different.

It is commonly found opposite large factories. In this, except for the units that do not work overtime, there are basically passive "voluntary" situations.

It means that this kind of overtime may also be due to a lot of work, or it may not be so much, or even overtime that has little to do with work. However, don't talk nonsense, it's just asking you to work overtime, and you can't do it if you don't add it.

You know very well that the work does not attract you, the leader does not attract you, the unit does not attract you, and more importantly, the return does not attract you. You won't get involved in keeping opportunities, positions, circumstances, and treatments.

You are unwilling, unwilling, and passive. If you haven't decided to leave yet, and you haven't found a home yet, you will be ashamed to speak up and go straight to it.

It's just that, out of various practical difficulties, you can't and don't want to tear your face. You can hide, you can avoid it, all the reasons that can be used and can't, you have used it again, the only purpose is that you don't want to work overtime.

But the results were never as expected. Many times, in many situations, refusing to work overtime means refusing to lead, refusing to work, refusing to communicate, which is reasonable, but it becomes a last resort, and it becomes embarrassing not to bow your head under the low eaves.

To say that passively "being voluntary" is coercive, which is forced and intensified. This compulsion is done in order to maximize the cost and stretch the value. The root cause is that the work is not easy to do, the money is not easy to earn, and the homogenization is serious.

Compared with other big factories, it can't be compared. People are more angry than people.

What to do? If you can't open the source, you can't throttle. Cost savings, downsizing and salary cuts, overtime work, job reuse and even wage arrears are not the most common solutions.

Passive "voluntary" is basically unsolvable, after all, 20% of enterprises control 80% of the business. The remaining eighty percent have to fight for survival. It's true that it's not all the boss's responsibility.

For individuals, the only way to improve their situation is to increase their right and choice of choice. In most cases, you have some bargaining power and the ability to jump out with less effort.

Otherwise, whether active or passive, you will eventually have to work overtime "voluntarily".
