About overtime does not work overtime this matter

I also want to talk a little about this matter. Actually, I just want to talk about one point - that is, many people use overtime as a way of saying "I am engaged in my work " and I am looking forward to receiving the affirmation from the employer . However, I must say that if you are tempted to work overtime, I am afraid that there is some misunderstanding about the "ecosystem of working jungles."

Of course, I do not deny that this practice of overtime is indeed something "necessary" in some organizations and the environment. Or should you say that? Because in that environment, we all do this, so if you do not, it seems like inferiority. But I also have to remind that this method is always hard work, not merit. I have seen a lot of people work overtime day by day, but they are not recognized by the boss. The raise and promotion will always fail to reach him and finally leave the organization with injuries.

This is actually a secret that many office workers have never understood. In the end, employers are just judging the "credit" issue from what angle. My experience shows that working overtime is usually not a great skill because everyone can work overtime. Most employers value the word "result".

Please remember this sentence: "At the right time, it is easy to do more credit; it is more useful than the hard work that can not die but can not see the result."

In fact, I actually made a table a few years ago and talked about how an office worker can determine if the boss is playing a testing mechanism for himself. Although the contents of the table may seem a bit unfair (at least not in line with what most people think is fair), this is probably the truth - a rating scale that most employers say they do not say (but of course Varies from person to person, but the basic structure is believed to be similar).

Posted here to share with you:

You will see I draw a red line in the center of the graph, which means that the boss uses it to determine whether an employee is competent or not. Reached the red line, indicating that the staff "just" meet the functions and salary conditions, it means that will not be fired.

Many people (especially fresh people) often think that I go to normal every day, have the boss to say things are done, is not the job is very suitable?

Unfortunately, this is usually only 60 points, pass it. Because many people just do things according to the directives, they did not think about the purpose of the directives. The order did not say did not do, the boss if the typo or chaos in the middle of the order, obviously not common sense, but also boring head to make it. So while the instructions are executed correctly, the result may not be what the boss wants. This is ridiculous than the boss, it will not give high marks. (PS. The front of each grid above is the score you can get when doing it)

But if we can further improve. First understand the meaning behind the instructions, to make things to the boss, can the job specification requirements are indeed done, then there will be about 80 points.

As for reaching 100%, you may also want to be able to help your boss to be aware of the fact that this position should be done but there is no job description. This is also common in large companies, there are always some things that matter, but Job Description did not write, two or two units will push to go.

If you do more, you usually solve a lot of potential management problems and can result in very different results. To do this, you can begin to make a difference with your colleagues next door. Although this level does not necessarily make you stand out from the crowd when you step up, you will not theoretically appear on your boss's list at least.

But to move up even more, especially into the managerial or mid-level management positions, the boss considers the part above the red line. Can you share the knowledge and the process with the team? Because you have to be the supervisor, you have to use the power of the team instead of doing it yourself, so you have to teach some people. And even he thinks about whether, if you ascended you, can you have height, see the problem, and solve the problem? Or even better, can you anticipate the problem and prevent the problem?

These have, will be the key to promotion and salary increase.

So, you have to do what your boss is expecting to see. You may even get yourself some lessons, learn some skills, and change your perspective and height of things to get a good chance. (This also shows that if only waiting for the company to train, often to a certain position to climb.Many companies are willing to move you to management before you come to train your.) As for those hard-working, grievances , As well as overtime performance of such performances, at best, you can only hold the rice bowl is not broken.

But I also have to say that I am not preaching that everyone should leave after get off work hours. Nor is it to tell you that overtime is useless, so you should not work overtime. You can still spare the details for morality and responsibility. But just you have to know, these are not the key to promotion. If you know this and work overtime, you will not feel hurt at least. Because you are doing what you are doing, not doing something in order to score.

PS I guess someone will respond by saying that the promotion is related to the flattering family background. I believe there is, but that is not the way everyone can do; nor is it a steady and stable way. So I will not discuss it here. Incidentally, please do not underestimate flattering people, that is actually a very difficult skill.
