Speaking of which, I think of a fable called "Whipping the Fast Cattle":
A farmer has two cows, a buffalo and a yellow cow. One day, the farmer came to work in the field with buffalo and cattle. He put a plow yoke on the cow first, but no matter how the farmer shouted, the cow wouldn't move.
The farmer picked up the whip and gave it a whip. The cow reluctantly took a few steps and then stopped. The farmer felt so tired that he threw the cow aside and left it alone. Later, the farmer also put a plow on the buffalo. The buffalo was particularly conscious and took the initiative to pull the plow forward. No farmer shouted. But in a short time, the farmer also whipped the buffalo.
The buffalo was very angry and asked the farmer, "I pulled the plow so hard, why did you hit me?"
The farmer replied, "We will finish plowing this field today. If the ox doesn't want to pull, you have to pull quickly, or we can't go home before dark. " After that, I hit the buffalo several times.
The whipped buffalo became more and more angry. Why do they get whipped the more they plow, while cows can graze leisurely? It's not fair!
Later, the buffalo couldn't stand the oppression and escaped from the plow.
Some people can't do everything every day because they can do everything. So some employees are too busy to fly, and some employees go to work to read newspapers, drink tea and brag.
Wang Bing has been in a company for more than 3 years. He is in charge of design in the company. Because he has some skills in copywriting, the leader sometimes asks him to write copywriting.
Once the company had a meeting and was going to do a VIP customer gratitude feedback activity. Everyone talked about it, and soon the title and form of the activity came out almost.
At this point, the question comes, saying that you are responsible for making plans? No one spoke at once. Helpless, the leader called Wang Bing and explained the background and planning content of the activity again, so that Wang Bing could make a plan in the fastest time. Wang Bing has ten thousand grass mud horses in his heart. They held a meeting. Now, I am a designer, and I need to finish it as soon as possible.
In fact, I have encountered a similar situation myself, because I am very good at PPT. Once the company planned a plan, which should have been my colleague's job, but asked me to help. Even if your work is busy, the leader will not reduce your work, but will only say that you should exercise more.
Let's talk about this Wang Bing. Do you know what happened to him in the end? At the end of the year, the leaders said that this year's performance was not optimistic. Design can't create considerable income, and copy planning barely passes, which needs improvement and promotion.
Wang Bing couldn't help but choose to leave.
In fact, this involves many problems. Such as enterprise management. There is a deviation in the thinking of managers. They think some employees are easy to talk to and don't care. They think it is an exercise to let them do more work. It may also be a serious lack of corporate culture. It can be said that there is no cultural guidance at all, and employees think that it is the same to do more or less, and there is no benchmark. Therefore, we can see that those employees who are lazy are not punished by the company, but they are short of an easy life, and employees will naturally follow suit.
In this case, not only the company has problems, but also the employees themselves have some problems. Because some employees don't know how to refuse, they have suffered a big loss. Even if the arrangement of the leader is unreasonable, you didn't give timely feedback and said it was unreasonable. As a result, your work was not done well, which also hurt your confidence.
I hope you don't become a "tool person" in the workplace.
