believes that every person in the workplace is afraid of receiving the sentence "Are you free?" when they are off work or on a day off, because they don't know how to respond to the leader's message.
A friend of mine received a message from her superior asking her "Are you free?" on the day off. Because she was shopping with friends at the time, she finally made an appointment, and she was afraid that she would reply "Are you free?" "After that, the leader would let her work, so she didn't reply at all.
Who knew that when she went to work on Monday, the leader called her into the office. The leader was furious at him and criticized her severely.
The leader asks "Are you free?" I can’t pretend that I haven’t seen it, I must have a reply
Obviously everyone doesn’t want to be disturbed during their breaks. My work has been completed. Why are you here? Call me after get off work? I still have to work for you? And be there anytime? And do you pay me when you get off work during the off-hours? Almost all people in the workplace think so.
But we are only working, and the other party has to pay us salary. We are in a natural disadvantaged position to adopt a confrontational method, which is obviously disadvantageous to us. So when you see the leader send yourself a "Are you free?" message, you must reply, and you must reply.
If you choose not to reply, you will inevitably have the suspicion of disrespecting the leader, and the leader will be held accountable after the fact.
Besides, what if the leader is looking for you because of urgent work? If it is delayed, it will also cause major losses to the company. In the end, it is still yourself who is criticized. Therefore, it is impossible not to reply to the leader's message in any case.
Don’t say “available” or “not available”, employees with high emotional intelligence all say the same
Then you have to reply to the leader, but if you reply to the leader, you are afraid that you will have to rest again in case you reply to the leader. What about daily work?
actually responds directly to "available",Or "not free" is not suitable. Because if you directly reply "available", the leader will think that you are free at the moment.
So I will assign all the work to you without any psychological burden. If the reply "no time" seems to be a direct confrontation with the leader, it is also to our disadvantage.
So don’t say “available” or “not available”, employees with high EQ know how to say, “leader, do you have anything important now?” First ask the leader if there is anything important now. After the leader finishes saying, if It’s not a very important matter. You can say something like "Leader, do you think this is okay? I’m a little busy outside now. Can I take care of this matter until I go to work?"
Under normal circumstances, when the leader hears this kind of response, it will not be too difficult for the employees, because the employees are really in difficulties now, and they are not very urgent tasks, so they can choose to wait until they go to work before letting the employees handle the work.
If it is a very urgent work task and must be dealt with, then you can also say "I am outside, and I will rush home as soon as possible to deal with work problems. Please be considerate of the leader."
The reason why I chose to reply to the leader is because, in any case, I gave myself room for relaxation, indicating that I am outside, temporarily receiving work, and may not be able to complete the work well, even if the work is completed No matter how you are, the leader will not blame you too much.
