Are you "a capable person is overworked"? Or "a ninja overworked"?

I don't know what your reaction is when you hear someone say the words "Able people work harder"?

When I was not deep in the world and didn’t understand the deep routines of the world, I was very happy to hear it. I thought that my boss and colleagues finally saw my ability and dedication, so I also showed a good attitude even when I already had a lot of work. "I can, please leave it to me", almost did not bow ninety degrees to the other party, like an old-school Japanese drama.

Our imagination is often limited by some wonderful old concepts: "To suffer is to take advantage", "Do more things and talk less to make people hurt", "The boss wants you to do work that does not belong to you, it is to cultivate you" , when these poisons Chicken soup-like words sounded in my ears, and motivated young people always go through fire and water in order to learn more or strive for performance (Is there any? Youth mentality with a sense of age...).

But after going through the sinister rivers and lakes, and not getting a good deal of wisdom, I deeply understand that it is just a trick for the boss to get more free manpower, and a talisman for the fritters and colleagues to shirk their responsibilities and live a good life.

Think about it carefully, when you hear the words "Able to work harder", it actually means that you have already carried extra work and are in a state of "overwork", or that some people do not allow themselves to have "negative" thoughts , I always try to convince myself that I have the ability, or I have the courage to take responsibility, etc., to extinguish the injustice in my heart.

As everyone knows, this kind of temperament that always puts the responsibility on himself is the best pawn in the eyes of others.
Or some people are not convinced, because it is undeniable that if you are in an environment where there is a reasonable organizational culture, a transparent promotion system, and more importantly, the immediate boss is a wise man, there are indeed some people who are willing to do things and understand distribution, and learn a lot from it. And step by step.

Therefore, if you want to know whether you are overworked because of the "capable person", or the "ninja" who silently endures it, you can take a pulse on yourself from the following three indicators:

1. Is the reward or reward proportional to your hard work?

When the boss says that the task given to you is to cultivate you or think that you can do it, if you really work hard to complete it and have good results, what you get in the end represents the boss's true intentions for you .

Of course, the most sincere thing is to give money or a promotion, but sometimes the reward is not necessarily substantial, it may also be a kind of psychological satisfaction. A smart boss will take out candy according to what you want.

2. When the work task is over, do you grow or get a sense of accomplishment?

Don’t naively think that the tasks others give you are tailor-made according to your situation ( Is it an under-cultivation star? ), more often, the work is too difficult, too complicated, too hot, too infrequent People only come to you if they want to do it. Because of this, and the work itself is not necessarily familiar to me, it takes a lot of time to understand the situation and communicate and coordinate with others.

In addition, people's attention and energy are limited. When multiple tasks and duties are carried out at the same time, the workload may be too large and valuable mental energy is scattered. Not only did they not learn more skills and abilities, but because they were unable to do what they wanted, they affected the original work. Is the work performance worth the loss?

3. In such a working state, are you more tired physically or mentally?

I used to work in a work environment where I worked more than ten hours a day, and I couldn’t rest during holidays. I also worked in a company that commuted to get off work on time and had regular holidays. Both companies have a lot of workload and it’s not easy to do it. Many people think that The previous job was so tiring that the thief died and the pressure was huge, so it should be more detrimental to people.

But the fact is: the former works long hours and is indeed very tired, but because the working environment suits me, I can always learn a lot, plus I have a sense of accomplishment and the company is willing to give money, so I sleep less but still Go to work full of energy; and the latter, who has multiple roles in one person, burns both physical strength and brain, but no matter how much he does, the salary is still the same, and once one of the tasks does not turn out well, he will always be the one who needs to be responsible. The longer you do it, the more tired your heart will be, and there will be no sense of achievement at all. So I finally realized in tears that some things, once understood, don't do it... (Why change the lyrics randomly)

The conclusion is: physical fatigue can be recovered after a good night’s sleep, while psychological fatigue is only depleting one’s inner energy. Once the latter feeling is always felt, it is easy to cause work burnout.

If more than 2/3 of your answers are Yes, and you don’t feel tired all the time, then congratulations, you are indeed, or are heading towards the path of “capable” . If none of the above is true, then it is very I'm sorry, you are a "ninja" after all, the best piece in the eyes of corpse vegetarians, please quickly consider the situation at hand, and carefully consider whether you want to live your life like this, except for the liver, there is nothing.

It is often said that in love, don't be a tool person to be ordered; and in the workplace, please open your mind, don't always be a tool person who sweats but is suspected of drooling.

Let's share.
