Why don't you reply "received" to the leader?

In the past, the leader assigned me a task on WeChat, and I would reply "received" in time. I think this is respect for the leader, and I am proud of myself. It was not until I learned my lesson that I realized that answering text messages was also exquisite. If it is not good, I will make a big taboo in the workplace.

My own personal experience: I simply replied "received" to the leader, but I didn't know that the leader had put up with me for a long time.

I work in the company office, and the work I am responsible for is specific and complicated. Leaders often arrange some temporary jobs for me, of course, most of them are conveyed through WeChat.

At work, whenever I see the news of the work arranged by the leader, I will reply "received" in time, because I think it is a kind of respect for the leader, and it is also a resolute attitude to reply to the news of the leader in time, but one thing later made me fully understand how stupid I am.

Once the head office came to inspect the work, our leader reported the business development to the head office, because it involved the allocation of funds, so the leader attached great importance to it.

The leaders carefully reviewed the details of the report in advance and went to the meeting room to see the venue layout. During the inspection, the leader found that a pot of flowers in the meeting room was dying, so the leader sent me a WeChat asking me to change a pot as soon as possible, which could not affect tomorrow's meeting.

I was busy with other things at that time. Seeing the short message sent by the leader, I replied "received" as always, thinking that I would deal with it later. However, unexpectedly, I was too busy to forget this matter. The next day, everyone from the head office came, and I suddenly remembered it. It's too late to change it. My in the mind suddenly a surprised, know this time is doomed.

Sure enough, the leader called me to the office afterwards, but unexpectedly, the leader didn't seem particularly angry because I forgot to do the work. There is a lot of work in the office these days, and there is no change of flowers, which has no effect on the meeting. The leader scolded me a few words. I hope I will pay attention in the future.

But in the end, the leader inexplicably said to me sternly: "If I arrange work for you all day, I know I will reply to those two words. Are you awesome? Are you a thousand dollars? " This kind of harshness is rare in leadership, which made me stunned at once.

I have always been complacent about my reply "received" and thought it was my firm obedience. But today, it seems that the leaders are obviously very dissatisfied with this reply, as if they have endured it for a long time and have reached the point of unbearable.

How did this happen? For this reason, I asked the old employees of the company, and their words made me feel enlightened. At this point, I realized that the pressure to reply to the leader's text message is so great.

Then, when the leader arranges the work, can he reply "received" directly, which situations are suitable for replying to the receipt, and which situations should never be answered like this?

It is ok to reply "received", but it is necessary to distinguish between different situations and not generalize.

Nowadays, it is very common to send notifications and work arrangements by mobile phone, which also brings great convenience to work. When we receive the notice and task, we will naturally reply "received", which is not only a courtesy, but also shows that we have defined the task.

So you can reply "received" directly in the following two cases:

First, between colleagues or between people at the same level in the unit.

Colleagues at the same level often communicate with each other at work and share company information. They will pass on some relevant data, or there will be some coordination problems.

The communication between these colleagues, after receiving it, directly replied "received", indicating that the relevant matters have been confirmed and completely acceptable. If you elaborate too much, you will be _ wordy.

The second is the notice of the company in the work group, or some requirements of the leaders for everyone.

In fact, it can be roughly understood that all requests and notices to all employees, whether they are short messages sent by the director of the office or short messages sent by the leaders, can only be answered as "received".

Our current unit has a work group, and any unified requirements and notices for employees at work will be arranged through WeChat work group. For example, inform employees of meetings that need to be held on time, or ask employees to work overtime at a certain time.

These work contents, even short messages sent by leaders, only need to be answered and received, because this is for all employees, indicating that you have seen the notice, and replying "received" is the confirmation of the notice. If you have a lot of mother-in-law replies in the group, it will make people feel disgusting.

Since these can be answered directly as "received", under what circumstances is it not appropriate to reply to this simple word? That is, when the leader arranges your work alone, don't simply reply "received" at this time, otherwise the leader will have enough of you sooner or later.

Why can't the leader simply reply "received" when assigning you a job? What is the right thing to do?

The leader sent you a WeChat task, and you replied "Received" in time, which seemed to be a response to the leader and confirmed the task. However, if you put yourself in your shoes and the leader talks to you for a long time, you do respond with two words, which really seems a bit cold. In the eyes of leaders, the simple word "received" means "know" and there is a dismissive attitude.

What do you think the leader will think if you say "yes" coldly when he gives you a task? On the one hand, it is a problem of work attitude, and the leaders are definitely not happy. On the other hand, a simple two-word leader doesn't know your understanding of the task, determination to complete the task, time and other factors, so how can the leader rest assured?

Finally, the task is successfully completed, and the leader will think that you have passively completed it, but the task has not been completed well, and the leader will think that your attitude is not correct and intentional. So an inappropriate reply is likely to bring great obstacles to your work.

So what if the reply is correct? You should assign tasks to you according to the leader. Don't be too simple and casual, and don't be too wordy and disgusting. Just simply show that the task content, determination, time and plan are clear.

For example, the message sent to you by the leader is that there is a task assignment. You can reply like this: "received, I will finish it tomorrow morning, please rest assured." Or reply like this: "Roger that, leader, I'll go to the technical department for help later and finish it before evening."

If the leader sends you a message on WeChat, you can reply like this: "I see, leader, I will definitely write it down." Such a reply can reassure and understand the leaders.

Many people only know that they can get the task. Do you know that the leader still wants to know your work plan and arrangement, as well as any difficulties and problems?

abstract

It is also very particular to reply "received" at work. If it is between colleagues at the same level, or in a work group for all employees, the reply "received" indicates that the content has been confirmed, and it does not need too many details.

However, if the leader gives you a task alone, it is very inappropriate to simply reply "received", because it is not only easy for the leader to feel your dismissive attitude, but also the leader does not know whether you have the determination and plan to work, and whether you have difficulties, which will cause great passivity in your work.

Therefore, when the leader gives you a job, don't simply reply to the leader's "receipt". You should not only express the confirmation and determination of the task, but also have time and plan to complete it, so that the leader will feel at ease and you will feel more at ease when you work.
