During the epidemic, everyone stayed at home. In order to earn performance, many people wanted to get promoted and raise their wages but had to go to work in the company. In the end, they were thankless. After the company resumed work, many of these people not only did not get promoted and raised their wages, but were cut and even laid off their wages. So they began to complain that the boss and the company were unfair to themselves.
What I want to say is that there will be a world where there are people. The bosses encountered this black swan epidemic, and it was also unfair to him to stop production and business. Don’t talk about fairness with your boss and company in the workplace. Maybe you need to look at these issues in a different way.
01 I, 33 years old, have been working during the epidemic, but after resuming work, the person who was promoted and raised was on holidays, colleague
0 These two days, my wife told me something. She said that her company has two colleagues, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang. They originally worked in the same office and were at the same level. Xiao Zhang has strong work ability and likes to earn performance and work overtime. She often applies to work on holidays, and the leader has completed many private work.
And Xiao Wang doesn't like to study, likes to be clever and doesn't have the patience to do things, so she just flatters her boss when she has nothing to do. She has been in the company for five years and basically does some coordination work, just sending documents to convey the boss's instructions.
Due to the impact of this epidemic, many employees were unable to go to work in the company, so the company's many tasks were naturally thought of Xiao Zhang at the first time and asked her to go to work in the office. At the beginning, Xiao Zhang also accepted it because the leader trusted him, and he felt that he felt more accomplished and wanted to earn some performance.
But later Xiao Zhang found that he did a lot more work than usual. In addition to his own job, he also gave her some of Xiao Wang's work and the private work of the leader. She worked almost every day during the epidemic, and often worked overtime all night. But Xiao Wang's leader did not arrange any work for her at all. Xiao Wang almost finished the two months at home.
originally Xiao Zhang thought that he had worked so hard these days, and the company would definitely give her a promotion and salary increase when she resumed work. But surprisingly, just two days after the company resumed work, Xiao Zhang actually put on the company's salary reduction list, and the original salary was reduced by 20%. The most annoying thing is that the leader also planned to bring Xiao Wang, who had been at home for two months, to become Xiao Zhang's supervisor.
Why? Xiao Zhang's mentality collapsed instantly. In the past two days, Xiao Zhang couldn't sleep every day and his hair fell out. He used to see Xiao Wang who was stupid and idle, doing nothing every day. During the epidemic, he was still at home for the past two months, and now he has become his boss. She feels unwilling to accept it and is unwilling to accept it. She has more abilities and experience than Xiao Wang. This time she risked her life to work. The leader not only wasn't moved, but also punished herself. Why should she reduce her salary and let Xiao Wang be the supervisor? This is too unfair.
02 Why is there no fairness? Take risks to go to work during the epidemic, and get promoted and get paid?
First of all, many misunderstandings like Xiao Zhang in the workplace, thinking that they are capable of doing more work, and they also want to move their leaders. This is a huge misunderstanding.
First, if you have strong abilities, you are defaulted to do more
In the eyes of leaders, you can do more, of course you have to do more. Whether it is a leader or a colleague, we have the same understanding on this issue.
For example, if you are the most capable employee of the company, then if the company receives a project, even if the project has nothing to do with your department or your work, the person who takes over may tell the boss that you are the best candidate in the company and that you can do it well. At this time, the boss will generally agree to this suggestion in order to consider the overall interests of the company, so your work will be more and more, and you will never be able to finish it.
The most important thing is that from the perspective of the leader, you are just a person who takes money to do things. It’s enough for someone to do this. As for how you do too much and get less, or how others are doing, whether it is fair to you is not something he needs to consider.
Second, although I took the initiative to go to work during the epidemic, the boss may think you are worthless
Have you ever posted overtime on your Moments? What you want to express is: "Boss, come and see, I worked overtime all night yesterday, how hard I worked!" But what does the boss think?
Every time he sees employees working overtime, he feels no worries in his heart and even wants to laugh. He would think, what's the use of working overtime? Isn't it that if you slept on your desk all night, what kind of benefits will it have for the company?
I have a friend who is like this. His name is Xiaoke. He works in a hot pot restaurant. Everyone knows that the most serious impact of this epidemic is catering, and their company is no exception. All administrative employees and store employees are on vacation or working from home, but he insists on going to the company to work during the epidemic. From January 28th to the whole of February, he went to the company to work alone.
But what does he do every day? He just turned on the computer, swiped the email, and saw if any customers sent messages. Most of the time he was stumbled in the company. The result was imagined. Not only did no one contact him or any business progress, but he also consumed a lot of the company's electricity bills. The boss was upset and asked him to do online short video business alone, and asked him to issue a military order. He must become a large KOL within one month. If he can't do it, he will leave! Xiaoke had no choice but to do it before. He had never done it before. He had to bite the bullet and do it. Now, time is coming soon. The boss has reminded him on WeChat twice that if he fails to finish, he should consider leaving.
In fact, many bosses are not moved at all about employees like Xiaoke. It seems that they are not. They will feel a little moved when you are still so proactive during the epidemic, but the boss will never pay for your efforts. For leaders, no matter how much work you do, it does not generate excess value. If you get more, others will also clamor for more!
In this epidemic crisis, the first thing entrepreneurs consider is the survival and development of the company. Especially when the company encounters difficulties, survival is his only goal. Killing some unprofitable businesses and some unprofitable employees is his way to make the company survive. If you want to live, he also wants to live. At this time, it depends on who will decide.
03 Instead of wanting fairness in the workplace, it is better to change your way of thinking
Many employees actually don’t think from the perspective of others and only stand in their own thinking. Of course, if the employee pays himself, whoever does more and who takes the risk and works overtime, then it is absolutely right to get more. Unfortunately, the leader and boss will always pay in the workplace. At this time, people in the workplace should not always think about fairness, you have to change your thinking.
First, do more things with high value and high returns
Why do employees always like to say, boss, I have worked hard without credit! And the boss wants to say, if there is no credit, why should I raise your salary?
is actually like the things that happened to Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang above. Xiao Zhang complained that she went to work in the company during the epidemic and often worked overtime. But have she ever thought about how she herself called work every day? To put it nicely, it was called sticking to the post, but to put it badly, it was just spending time and making soy sauce. Perhaps in the opinion of the leaders, what Xiao Zhang did during the epidemic has no value or reward at all, and it may not be as rewarding as Xiao Wang did every day or flattered the boss once.
So, if you do low-value labor, you may feel that you are busy and fulfilled at the time, but for the boss, you are not wise at all, you are just working hard to make a living. Only by working hard to do high-value returns can you get promoted and raise your salary, and be qualified to talk about fairness.
Second, try to do things within your ability, don’t go beyond the boundaries, and don’t offend others
Many people may feel that the more they do, the more they can prove their abilities, and the more they can move their leaders and colleagues, especially in this epidemic, many people think this way, working overtime or doing more, and they feel that they may have a better chance of getting promoted and having a raise. The idea of
is extremely wrong, because the more you do, the more you make mistakes, the lower the return, it will also waste the company's electricity bills, equipment loss, etc., which is not pleasing. There is no addition and subtraction in the workplace. It does not mean that you have strong abilities, do more and make more contributions, and you can offset your mistakes. Your leader will not remember your merits, but he will not forget the mistakes you make.
So, at work, you must first try to do what you can within your ability, do what you are within your job, and do things beyond your job responsibilities and scope, so don’t do it. For example, during this epidemic, many employees of the company do not work at home or work remotely, and you go to the company to work and earn performance. Even if you create value and benefits for the company, your leaders praise you and give you promotion and salary increase, but have you ever thought about what other colleagues think of you? By then you will become the target of public criticism. Everyone will target you. You can do things but you can’t be a human being!
A slightly smart leader will not risk offending most employees and give you a promotion and salary increase alone. He is also worried that in the future, how can these people ask him to get promotion and salary increase? It’s hard to deal with rebellion, so aren’t you digging a hole for yourself?
04 What can truly surpass "fairness" is self-planning
Don’t think about just working hard and earning performance, to move your boss or think that you can surpass fairness. So what if you touch your boss? So what if you give you short-term fairness? You have no core values and competitiveness, and you won’t get much practical benefits even if you are exhausted. It is simply a waste of your own time and a loss of your own body.
is like Xiaoke. Instead of actively working overtime to earn these meaningless performances during the epidemic, it is better to do more things to improve your personal core competitiveness. In two months, if you really want to improve, you can iterate iterate.
If you want to improve your core competitiveness, you must give yourself time to grow every day. In fact, it is to allow you to expand other ways of growth besides work. The more diverse your learning methods, the higher your marginal contribution to growth and the faster your growth will be.
In addition, in addition to the difference in ability among people with high salary and low salary, the bigger difference is: do you have a raise mindset. The so-called salary increase thinking is that the attitude towards salary is not to wait silently, but to take the initiative to plan. If you don’t take the initiative to plan, you will find that the salary gap between you and your peers will become bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more unfair things.
Because of the promotion and salary increase, there is also Matthew effect : the strong are getting stronger, the weak are getting weaker, and unfair will be getting worse and more unfair. The poorer the workplace, the richer the richer the wages will become polarized. ,
