Do you think happiness or money at work is more important?

There is a hot topic on the Internet, which asks: "Do you think happiness or money is more important at work?"

In fact, happiness and money are both important, but it is difficult to have both. Yes, few people in the workplace can be happy and make a lot of money at the same time, except entrepreneurs.

Most people are between happy and unhappy at work, switching at any time. Of course, there are still many people who are accustomed, numb, and mechanized.

If there was a choice between happiness and money, I believe many people would choose a job that is more money but not necessarily easy and happy. Because for the same time investment, the temptation of higher income is stronger, otherwise there would not be so many people choosing to change jobs because of the salary.

So, I think money is more important!

I know you will definitely say that I am too realistic, but please read the following three cases and you will know why I say so.

Solo break? I would like a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan!

Recently, more and more people are looking for jobs, and Xiao Mo’s resumes are like sinking into the sea, without any response.

She has 7 years of administrative work experience. She lost her job due to poor management of her previous company. After she received the notice from the company in April, she immediately began to refresh her resume and submit it to the company.

A month later, she submitted to more than 50 companies, only 3 companies invited her for interviews, and 2 of them have clearly rejected her, and the remaining one is still waiting. reply.

She is not satisfied with this company because her salary requirement is 8,000, while the company's recruitment information only states 4,000-6,000, has no provident fund, and has single leave. However, if she doesn't work, she will soon run out of savings and be unable to pay the rent.

So she said that as long as the company offered her a salary of 6,000, she would be willing to accept even a single day off.

I used to be the administrative director of a foreign trade company. I had an easy job, traveled overseas once a year, and had five insurances, one housing fund and two weekends off. Last year, she was still thinking that if she needed a salary increase of at least 10% to change jobs, she would definitely not consider a job with a single day off.

Nowadays, when faced with more than 100 people competing for a job, Xiao Mo still chooses to have a job first, make money first, and then negotiate terms.

Happiness becomes less important, money is more important.

A 46-year-old workplace executive returned to the workplace after "a year off"

On the Internet, a 46-year-old middle-aged man finally found a job after being unemployed for a year. He seemed particularly excited and a little uneasy about the job opportunity he finally got.

On the first day of work, he came to the company early. Because he came too early, the door of the company had not been opened yet. He was very anxious as he was waiting at the door. He had not worked for so long, and he didn't know if he could still adapt.

He recorded a video of himself. He said that it is really difficult to find a job at this age. This year of resting at home, without any income, I felt very uncomfortable. Especially during the epidemic, when the whole family stayed together, the children's attitude towards him became very strange.

He didn’t want to be so depressed anymore, so he mustered up the courage to find a job and change himself.

I don’t know what he did before. Maybe he was a senior executive or a boss.

When I saw him anxious about his new job, I felt very uncomfortable. I wonder if I will encounter the same troubles when I reach his age.

But one thing I am sure of is that he needs this job so much! Making money has become the most important thing for him. No matter how much he earns, as long as he can reintegrate into the workplace, it is enough.

I have worked for 15 years with a monthly salary of 3,500 yuan, almost losing my competitiveness in the workplace

I have a best friend who has worked in Shanghai for 15 years, and her salary has increased from 3,000 yuan when she was in her 20s. Now the salary of someone who is more than 30 years old is 3,500 yuan, and the growth rate of his salary is far less than the growth rate of his age.

When she was in her 20s, she said that she worked just to pass the time, and her husband was responsible for supporting the family. Therefore, she found a part-time job at the front desk, where she only needed to send and receive emails and complete forms every day.

Fifteen years have passed, and many colleagues in the company have come and gone, but she is the only one who cannot be shaken. She thinks that as long as she is happy, it will be fine.

In the first half of this year, her husband's company was affected and he owed a large debt to the bank and was unable to afford the family's expenses.

So my best friend needed to use her salary to supplement the family income. Only then did she begin to feel the importance of money.

She applied for a salary increase to the company, but the company boss indirectly rejected her. Then she was given several business opportunities. As long as she could perform well, her income would increase.

So, she started running a business. During that time, she suffered a lot and was tanned a lot. Compared with the stability of the front desk, business is really tiring and annoying.

Two months later, she opened her first business and received a bonus of more than 7,000 yuan. She discovered that making money is a very happy and fulfilling thing.

Having a happy job does not necessarily mean making money, but making money can make people happy!

At work, you cannot be happy all the time. Stress and grievance are the normal conditions in the workplace, so happiness becomes less important because you have to learn to bear pressure. People's mood can change every day, every hour, and every moment, but money is difficult. If someone says that I would rather choose to be happy, I think it must be because the money given is not high enough, or he is not that short of money.

Some netizens said: "Give me a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan, and I will be willing to work overtime every day." This may be a joke, but it can be seen that many people still care about the income from work. At a certain level, people's tolerance for unhappiness can also be greatly increased.

Some netizens said: "Those born in the 1970s think money is more important, those born in the 1980s think both money and happiness are important, and those born in the 1990s think happiness is more important."
