I feel terrible because I am too idle at work. As soon as the graduation season arrives, many graduates will flood into the society and feel the pressure brought by the workplace. But the pressure of many graduates is not because of too much work, but because they are too idle, so today I will talk to you about why it feels terrible to work too idle.
It's terrible to be too idle at work. 1 Being too idle at work is a very dangerous signal.
First, there is no goal, no direction. People who are very idle at work basically don't know what they want to do or what they can do. My reader's statement is very representative: "I am very confused after job-hopping, I don't know what I want to do, I don't know what I like to do, but I know what I don't like to do." This dislike is all the work she has done.
Second, they have no core competitiveness, and the work they do is highly replaceable. The technical content of the work is not high, the challenge is not great, and it is easy to master. Basically, it can be done almost effortlessly, and the sense of accomplishment is not enough.
Third, it is not necessarily done less, but done shallowly. No one will think Buffett is idle. In fact, he really does very little so-called "work" every day, and 80% of his time is spent reading books. Therefore, leisure is not because you are not doing well, but because you are doing shallowly. For those who feel that their work is worthless and idle, if they want to change, they must:
1, if you don't like it, do your best to get things done. Even if you do something you like, there are times when you can't do it, but it is the basic quality of a workplace person to do things completely and do a good job. Only by doing the work you don't like well and forming good habits can you have a chance to do it better when you meet what you want to do, and it is impossible for a person who gives up easily and treats his work only for his own likes and dislikes.
There is a case on the Internet about how an excellent front desk can make the company's travel management more efficient by helping employees book business trips. It is not surprising that the current executive director of our company is the front desk of the original company. Her work has been greatly praised by everyone since she came to the company a few years ago. So many contract documents and business tickets have never been missed together, and naturally she can always get a promotion and salary increase. Before her, no front desk was impressive.
Similarly, our company's IT is also an indispensable company spokesperson that everyone is familiar with. Their work is ordinary, but it is recognized as excellent. In fact, as a professional, even an ordinary clerk, many people are not proficient in operating office software, let alone making beautiful PPT. The reader who wrote to me said that he was very idle, didn't like his job, and wanted to change the status quo, but he was not afraid of getting angry. They basically say that they are very idle, and many of their letters are unreasonable and ugly. It is hard to imagine that such an expression can be entrusted with an important task in the work.
2. At the beginning of the workplace, we should establish professional self-confidence. A person's long-term achievements in the workplace often come from the self-confidence established early in his career. Therefore, it is best to establish professional self-confidence at the beginning of the workplace, and professional self-confidence lies in that you can do things well enough, be valuable to others, get value returns, and enhance your professional self-confidence with value returns. With self-confidence, you can pursue what you like. If you can do what you don't like well and find what you like, then your ability should be better. The foundation of building professional self-confidence is high work efficiency.
It depends on the possibility of Excellence in every job, and the skills in every job have some basic skills that can make you more valuable. No matter how ordinary a job is, as long as you are extremely proficient in the skills that everyone needs, it is possible to stand out. Only those who taste the joy of success in their work can enjoy their work.
3. Find a career that you love all your life. A. successful people love their jobs. Zuckerberg of Facebook once answered the question "How many hours do you work a day" on his Facebook page: "It depends on what you mean by" work ". I spend most of my time thinking about how to connect the world and how to bring benefits to society through contact, but this process is often not sitting in an office or in a meeting. I spend a lot of time reading and thinking. If you only count the time in the office, it will not exceed 50 to 60 hours per week. But if you mean how long it will take to realize your vision, that's my life. This is similar to Buffett's answer to a live question when he retired at 20 14: "Why do I have to work when I am 83 years old? Because I do what I like, because there are so many people cheering for me.
Every morning, I will think about how today's work can bring better service to customers. "Finding your goals and finding your favorite career is what all successful people have in common. Sometimes goals and love are closely related. When there is no goal, you often don't like any work. Most people who don't like work have no goals. B. If you really can't make a breakthrough in your work, you can try to turn your hobbies into work.
Work refers to the act of paying labor and getting paid. Hobbies are behaviors that make you happy and happy. Many people's interests have nothing to do with work. What they do after work is completely different. If their jobs are not promoted, they will really be idle. You can completely consider whether your hobbies can be turned into paid behavior and become a second job, your favorite job. If you succeed, you can also become your own career.
Many people who don't like work, like my lovely reader friend, want to find a job they like, but people's interests are varied and changeable. If you want to take what you like as the first important starting point, you should confirm as soon as possible which things you like can be turned into work. Even if you can't change jobs immediately, you can be prepared to take a second job consciously, and the conditions are suitable for changing to a formal career. You should comprehensively evaluate your various interests, preferences, so that you can write down all your preferences carefully and make a comprehensive evaluation to see which preferences and interests can be transformed into career or conditionally realized value.
The assessment can be based on:
1. Value to others: Preference is often based on satisfying oneself and making oneself happy, but when it is transformed into work, it must be valuable to others.
Can you turn yourself into an advantage? Many people think that what they like is what they are good at, but they can't evaluate it on a larger scale in the whole society. For example, some friends like playing games, playing chess and taking photos, but their advantages are only in the circle of friends. If they don't have enough influence, some advantages can't be turned into careers.
3. Can I exchange it? Only when there is a form for others to use can the exchange realize value. Some people are rich in amateur knowledge and brilliant, and knowledge is also needed by the market, but there is no way to let others know that this hobby cannot be realized. If a single hobby can't make a career, you can consider combining your multiple interests and see if you can turn it into a career. If you can't turn it into a career for the time being, you can also start from your spare time. Create conditions and environment, invest as much time as possible, and find the environment to play.
Input-→ output: for example, reading, watching drama, traveling, output form, writing, writing drama reviews, travel notes, consumption-→ service/output: for example, visiting Taobao, helping others to shop, purchasing, and considering whether pure consumption can be transformed into valuable services for others.
Self-entertainment-→ exchange: for example, making handicrafts and baking cookies ... These productive production benefits should be exchanged and have exchange value, such as whether channels can be established to sell products. Ordinary (amateur)-→ professional (excellent) Many people are interested in and like, such as playing games and e-sports. They are just ordinary, just for fun, and it is difficult to become a career. If this interest wants to become a career, it will definitely take time to become a professional player. Organize, manage money, talk, dress up and exercise ... If you want to turn hobbies into value, you must have some unique levels and output forms for others to see.
Fourth, invest in yourself when your work is idle and you can't find your direction. Working hours are very idle, and reading is the best way. If you have a lot of energy and time, there are many things you can improve yourself even if you don't plan to do your work better. Having time is the greatest wealth, so we should do things that are not urgent and important, things that add value to ourselves for a long time, and things that can bring about changes.
I once wrote an article "Invest in yourself and get closer to the life you want". Most of our life growth comes from the progress of work, which makes our life more complete and rich. Work is like practice. People who really want to keep growing will keep pursuing new challenges and take the initiative to seek the next challenge after completing one task. The meaning of life is often to grow by constantly conquering difficulties. As Haruki Murakami said, the phased goal has been achieved. "I think I have that kind of power in my body. I can take the initiative to meet the risk and overcome it. This sense of peace of mind may be stronger than joy. "
Busy work, not for the sake of being busy, but to achieve your own goals and get good work results; Leisure work is not for leisure, but for having more energy and time to think about one's goals, hone one's skills, let oneself continuously add value and live the life that one wants.
It's terrible to be too idle at work. Now the company is very idle, and I'm afraid I can't improve my ability.
First, the advantages of idle work
First of all, let's analyze the advantages and disadvantages of idle work.
1, short working hours, more time to do your own thing. In fact, it is difficult to find a job on weekends. Having such a job with long rest time and short working hours can actually give us more time to study.
2, the work pressure is small. The phenomenon of workplace involution is very serious. Many people in the workplace choose to resign because they can't accept the great pressure in the workplace. Idle work gives you much less work pressure.
Leisure work is the final destination of most people. Many people will choose to leave their jobs because they are too idle, but when they get to more stressful positions, they will secretly regret it. Leisure can make people live more comfortably, so you should think twice before you act.
Second, the disadvantages of doing nothing
Idle work naturally has some shortcomings. Let's analyze the disadvantages of being too idle at work.
1, unstable work. If you are in a private enterprise, your job is very idle and you are likely to be laid off. The company is not a welfare organization. They may dismiss you in order to improve your work efficiency.
2, unable to learn knowledge at work. Working for a month is much more important than studying at school for a year. This is because work has given us pressure and challenges, so we have made rapid progress. Therefore, this is also the place that Xiao Su is most worried about, fearing that she won't learn anything at work.
3. Lose your edges and corners. In our leisure work, we often forget what we want. Gradually, with the passage of time, we lost our edges and corners.
Third, consider your career planning.
The third suggestion is that Xiao Su should consider what his career plan is.
This job is Xiao Su's first job. He has worked in this company for four years, which proves that this job is still attractive to Xiao Su.
For Lai Su, she still uses momentum to improve her ability in the workplace, so what kind of ability do you want to improve?
Everyone in the workplace should have a certain understanding of their career planning. Before resigning, you must be clear about your career plan.
Fourth, avoid naked resignation.
After making our own career plan, we have two directions.
The first direction: don't resign and stay in the company. Then you don't need to find a second job, just work in your current company.
The second direction: resignation. If you want to quit your job, you must find another job. Naked resignation actually put a lot of pressure on us.
Especially for some professionals who haven't changed jobs for a long time, you don't really know the current market. You may encounter some setbacks in the early stage of job hunting.
A friend of mine was admitted to a public institution and resigned after working for ten years. After resigning, she couldn't find a job. Because when she was in the unit, she didn't try to improve her ability. After resigning, I encountered many obstacles in finding a job outside. Therefore, if we want to reject naked resignation, we'd better find a new job and quit.
It's terrible to be too idle at work. 3 1. Is leisure determined by the nature of work?
Some jobs are relatively simple, with few things and little competitive pressure, such as receptionists, archivists, property managers and so on. These jobs are simple in content and have a high degree of free time control, which is really casual.
This is determined by the nature of the post, and leisure is not your intention or mine.
2. Are you "idle" by the leader?
If the nature of your work is not leisure, but the leader never gives you any tasks and thinks nothing of you, then you should be careful. You may be idle by the leader.
Leaders are biased against you and will not tell you frankly, but will "marginalize" you, leaving you with no sense of value and accomplishment in your work, and finally forcing you to leave your job voluntarily. This is very dangerous.
3. Is it a lack of innate ability?
There is also a helpless leisure called "powerlessness".
You are full of enthusiasm and energy, and expect the leaders to entrust you with important tasks, but your ideals are full and the reality is very skinny. Sometimes it's not that the leader is unwilling to arrange work, but that your ability can't support the job requirements.
So you see, not all leisure is pleasant and comfortable, and there is a crisis behind leisure.
Leisure also means low value and weak sense of existence.
Leisure and single work, fixed behavior patterns, it is easy to mechanize people; Furthermore, if you stay in the traditional form for a long time, you will be afraid to go to a new environment and meet new things, and you will not want to rebuild your interpersonal network.
In this state, anxiety and fear will prevail, making us afraid to quit.
Slowly, like boiling a frog in warm water, I lost my professional jumping ability.
Over time, you can only be trapped in a dead end in warm water environment, waiting for the fate of being boiled and eliminated.
Whether you resign or not depends on how you view the value your job brings to you. What is your pursuit of your job?
If you pursue small happiness and like a plain and contented life, then you can enjoy the leisure of the moment safely.
If you pursue high value and existence, have an indomitable heart and like to fight hard, I suggest you sort out your current career status, prepare for future career change, and use the present to achieve distant goals.
