How to make the best use of every minute you have at work?

1. After work, answer the phone

There are three major worries in the workplace: I can never get a job promotion, my salary can never be increased, and I can never take holidays. Especially when normal rest time is taken up, it is really annoying.

Xiao Zhao, a company employee who had been busy for nearly a day, finally finished handling the work at hand for the day before getting off work. He breathed a long sigh of relief and felt that he could finally sleep happily after get off work this time. Have a good sleep. Unexpectedly, not long after returning home from get off work, he received a call from the company leader, which made him completely lose his mood. The company received a temporary notice saying that a leader from the company headquarters would go to Xiao Zhao's company the next day to inspect a certain work. The relevant department leaders were required to make a written report. During the report, the key points of the work were to be assisted by PPT. .

As a result, Xiao Zhao had to return to the company immediately to work overtime. At that time, Xiao Zhao didn't care too much and returned to the company. Usually, when it comes to reporting work, Xiao Zhao is responsible for writing the preliminary report materials, and department colleague Xiao Liu is responsible for the post-production of PPT. However, this time, Xiao Zhao did not see the shadow of Xiao Liu.

After understanding, Xiao Liu’s cell phone was turned off after get off work. The boss couldn’t find him, so he was “captured” as a “strong man”. Xiao Zhao could only do the two tasks by himself. bear.

"Can it be that whoever turns off his cell phone is justified? He can avoid work and avoid responsibility, killing two birds with one stone!" Xiao Zhao thought a lot in his heart, but he didn't say anything verbally, but his expression looked very unhappy. nature. After the leader found out, he directly comforted him: "Thank you for your hard work, Zhao'er. The PPT production later will be almost enough."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhao simply nodded and said nothing, thinking: Say It's almost ok, but whether it will work or not, who knows.

There is a spirit of contract between the company and its employees. It is normal for employees not to answer company calls after work and during holidays. Although there may be emergencies and major events during this period, it is not recommended not to answer the phone or regardless of the heat.

As a company, if it needs to allow employees to work overtime after work, it should pay corresponding remuneration, and it should be done evenly. Whoever is caught will not be counted. Afterwards, an explanation must be given, otherwise It is easy to trigger a collective resistance effect.

At the same time, it is necessary to establish a corporate culture that warms people's hearts and respects employees, so that employees can love their jobs, support the company, be anxious about the company's needs, worry about the company's worries, and even take the initiative to work overtime. Only in this way can employees That's the right answer.

2. Treat guests to dinner and never pay the bill

As the saying goes, if you have something, don’t be sick; if you have nothing, don’t have money; if you owe something, don’t owe love. Although the workplace is a place of interests, with more emphasis on interests and less on emotions, some daily human interactions are also necessary. And some people only talk about taking, not giving back. Treating guests to dinner is a concrete manifestation.

I remember a colleague in the company. Every time there was a gathering between colleagues in the department, he would always come when invited. But every time it was time to pay the bill, he would always run away. Either you ask for leave midway and resign first, or the mobile phone network is not good and you cannot pay, or you just forget to bring your bank card and you are helpless, etc.

Later, that colleague was promoted from clerk to business manager, and other colleagues suggested that he should invite everyone to have a meal together. I didn’t expect it, and I don’t know where he would coordinate a training spot.

I left the company openly that afternoon and went to attend a business training in another place. The dinner treat was put on hold.

When he returned to the company and someone mentioned the treat for dinner again, the colleague explained that he had just taken up the job and his work was not yet in full swing, and he needed to establish a good image in front of the leader. , to shirk it again.

Slowly, everyone knew that the colleague was an "Iron Rooster". From now on, no one would call him an "Iron Rooster" any more when there was a similar dinner party, and the colleague was gradually isolated, and interpersonal communication became difficult. The circle becomes smaller and smaller.

As the saying goes, it is disrespectful to come and not reciprocate. It is very important for people to get along with each other and maintain interaction. No one has the obligation to be warm and cold. Unless, you think that such social interaction is really unnecessary and you don’t want to have too much other contact with the other party.

If this is the case, when you first treat a guest to a meal, you must make a corresponding "decline", so that the other party can understand and retreat, instead of going back and forth, causing people to have other ideas.

3. In interpersonal interactions, be aloof

Regardless of the size of the position or the level of seniority, maintaining smooth and comfortable interpersonal relationships is often based on mutual equality and mutual respect. . If you always act condescending, it will be difficult for people to accept, and you will invisibly isolate yourself.

I remember that I had just joined the company not long ago. In order to maintain good interpersonal relationships with others in the shortest possible time, I never forgot to smile when I entered the company every morning and met others for the first time. Say hello with a smile.

It can be said that when you do this, most of the other people respond accordingly, but there are still some people who turn a blind eye to your greetings, or even deliberately avoid them, giving people a very cold feeling. look.

Once, twice, and again. At that time, I was also reflecting on myself, whether I had not thought carefully about some aspects of my work that had offended him, but after thinking about it, this situation did not really exist.

Later, when I saw such people again, I simply stopped saying hello and just bowed my head and passed by. Unexpectedly, seeing me being so "low-key", he actually reacted. Afterwards, he came to me and asked me if I had any thoughts about him recently. For a moment, I felt dumbfounded.

In reality, some people are accustomed to showing aloofness in front of strangers or people they don’t often interact with, and use this as a unique and specific expression to give people a feeling that they are not easy to get in touch with. However, once you have a deep friendship with him or have reciprocal interpersonal relationships, you will find that he is actually quite good and not as "alternative" as you imagined.

In the workplace, you should be more sincere in your interactions with others, especially when there is no conflict of interest at work and there is competition for positions. It will give people a very "pretending" feeling, even if you are tired, and It is precisely oneself who is isolated.

If such a person has regarded it as a fixed mode and routine of interpersonal communication and does not like anyone, then as oneself, it is better to keep a certain distance from the other party.

4. If you are honest, you will not be reused

A netizen once asked me this question, doesn’t it mean that honest people don’t suffer? So, why are honest people often not reused?

The answer I give is that you can and should be honest in terms of life, but who makes you honest in terms of ability and quality.

In other words, your personal work ability is very conservative and low-key, and your work results are not "beating". You are always unknown and uncompetitive. Then you are a good person at best, but not a capable person. It is normal that you are not reused.

Salesman Xiao Li sells insurance in a company. He is very down-to-earth and works very seriously. For a period of time, his boss asked him to go out to develop customers. Nearly a week passed, and he still didn't get any feedback on Xiao Li's work.

So, the leader took the initiative to call Xiao Li, with an accusatory tone, and asked him about the progress of his work and why he did not report in time. Xiao Li replied hesitantly: "This week, I haven't been able to negotiate with a single customer. I feel embarrassed to report to you." When the leader heard Xiao Li's reply, he was speechless.

There is often a type of person in the workplace who never talks about the boss's requirements, and proactively lends a helping hand to colleagues. They do not compete for fame or profit. They are liked by both leaders and colleagues, but When it comes to promotion and employment, such honest people rarely get involved.

The reason is that, personally speaking, crying children have milk to feed. When a good opportunity comes, top-notch people strive for it and take the initiative to report, while honest people are not interested and even settle for second best. Then The opportunity naturally eluded him.

As far as teams are concerned, a wolf can turn a group of sheep into a group of wolves, and a sheep can turn a group of wolves into a group of sheep. People who are too honest are not suitable for management. People who are suitable for leadership must have charisma, fierceness and drive, and be able to establish a certain degree of authority

Therefore, do not be fooled by the so-called "honesty" ", crying out for injustice.

If you don't rely on your ability to get what you want, relying on your instincts won't work.
