Leaving work on time VS working overtime, who is a good employee?

I am a person who insists on leaving work on time, because I follow the philosophy that "if you are not active after work, how can you be active at work". So if I'm done with the day's work, I won't hesitate to leave with my bag in my bag.

But the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and due to the lack of work in hand, I have worked overtime frequently recently.

I don't think it's okay to look at the quality of employees just by working hours, although most people subconsciously think that employees who work overtime are more diligent, and in many companies that promote overtime culture, whether employees work overtime or not is directly linked to whether they are good or bad. However, I think everyone is not the same as they are productive, so some people just need extra time to complete the tasks of the day.

On the other hand, excluding people who love their work to the point of being unable to extricate themselves, if the daily work cannot be completed in 8 hours, and additional time must be used to complete it, I think it is also necessary to consider whether the employee is not capable, or fishing in troubled waters every day. Therefore, some people who never work overtime but maintain high efficiency and quality work can definitely be regarded as good employees of the company. Of course, those who love to work until they forget to sleep and eat are also good employees, so if you only look at the latitude of getting off work on time and working overtime every day to judge whether you are a good employee, it is not comprehensive.

Therefore, it is still necessary to look at the attitude of employees and the results achieved on this basis, so as to judge whether the other party is a good employee or not. <>

However, for the employees themselves, they still work within 8 hours a day to complete their work tasks, do not occupy much personal time, although they love their work, they must also have rest time.

Employees who can do a good job are good employees, and it has nothing to do with overtime or not.

If the work has been arranged and there are no special circumstances, there is no need to work overtime, because as an employee, whether you can complete the work within the given time is actually a reflection of personal work efficiency and personal ability.

If the work done overtime is not completed during working hours simply because of inefficiency when there are no special circumstances, you are not a good employee.

For employees, they are not fully qualified for their jobs, and for companies, hiring such employees will only increase ineffective labor costs, and there is no benefit.

In addition to the necessary critical events, I personally am not very in favor of overtime, whether it is from the analysis of people's physiological conditions, such as attention, mental and other aspects of continuous strength, or people's psychological endurance, etc., unnecessary overtime is actually more inefficient work, which is not good for individuals and the company.

But I think the condition to be a good employee is to be able to complete a good job, and sometimes you actually need to work overtime, for example, when you encounter urgent affairs, everyone has actually encountered them, that is, the important affairs that are temporarily assigned need to be completed immediately or special circumstances require you to work overtime to deal with special treatment.

At this time, it is necessary to work overtime to complete these tasks, because strictly speaking, it is the responsibility of employees, and overtime at this time is purposeful, and overtime behavior can also produce efficiency for employees and the company.

Therefore, when the boss judges whether an employee is good or not, he must not be measured by whether he works overtime, but can recognize whether he is working overtime to generate benefits for the company when he needs to work overtime.

First: What are the criteria for a good employee?

Although each company has different details in the criteria for judging good employees, the mainstream standards will not be much different. For example, in the sales position, it is most direct to speak with numbers; The R&D department is the most fair to speak with results. Even administrative departments that don't have the pressure of numbers have standards for doing things well and badly.

Therefore, it is too simple and crude to judge whether an employee is a good employee by leaving work on time or working overtime, and there is no technical content, which is not conducive to the positive motivation of employees.

Secondly: Leaving work on time and working overtime are in accordance with the regulations.

Overtime in the workplace is not an uncommon thing in the current era of rapid development. But at the same time, as a company, we should be aware that just because overtime has become the norm, we should not criticize it as wrong to leave work on the hour. After all, whether from the perspective of labor law or management, there is no problem with leaving work on time, the difference is whether overtime is the norm or occasional.

Finally: whether or not to work overtime depends on the matter.

Of course, it is reasonable to ask employees to work overtime when the company needs to do so, and employees should cooperate, and employees who still only care about leaving work on time in the face of such a situation will of course be criticized as not good employees, which is understandable. But if it is just because of the leader's personal preference, or because of the boss's sycophancy, the boss thinks that the employees are working hard and works overtime, which is actually a great waste of manpower, and even a waste of the company's resources, including water and electricity bills.

Therefore, instead of taking overtime as the standard for enterprises to judge employees, it is better to focus on how to improve the timeliness and output of employees! Create more value for your business, not inefficient overtime.

Just by the time off work, there is no way to determine whether the employee is a good employee or not.

Xiao A is very efficient, can complete the responsible work before leaving work every day, and never procrastinates. Xiao B is used to grinding and grinding when he goes to work, and he always has to deal with some of his own things, which leads to not leaving after work. If the boss knew the truth, which employee would he appreciate more?

It's definitely a little A's.

The standard of a good employee should be able to complete the tasks assigned by the leader on time and in accordance with the amount during working hours, and be proactive in work. Instead of blindly procrastinating and being busy at work, you show that your workload is saturated.

So shouldn't good employees work overtime? Not necessarily. Newcomers to the company will have a lot of things to learn and understand outside of their job responsibilities, in addition to their own work, if they are willing to work overtime to learn, and even help other employees in the team to deal with some work that they are good at, and even add points to his career.

In fact, most smart bosses don't want to see overtime, although it seems that the company is thriving, and the work is booming, but as far as the overall company development is concerned, overtime is a matter of labor and money. Not to mention the need to bear the extra taxi fare, overtime pay, and dinner expenses of employees, the office drinking water, computers, and electricity bills are all being lost. Moreover, a large amount of overtime will damage the motivation of employees, and the happiness of employees will be reduced if they do not have enough rest and personal family time, and in the long run, it will even affect the overall development of the company in the later stage.

Whether to work overtime can not judge the quality of employees, and how to work overtime is also difficult to grasp, but what remains constant is that an employee who has the ability to talk about efficiency is always the most favored by the boss.

Don't be stupid, those who leave work on time and work overtime can be both good and bad employees.

Why? Here's why:

1. Those who get off work on time, some are lazy, and some are efficient

Don't think that it's not good to get off work on time, what if people are just efficient and don't have to work overtime? Then such a person is generally not too bad at work, because he knows how to use skills to improve work efficiency, and he also knows how to do a good job in time management.

Of course, there may also be employees who are not ambitious and want to go home to eat, drink and have fun as soon as they arrive, and this kind of employee is really not the kind that the boss likes, because they generally do not perform too well, and they are unlikely to rush to the front line, just want to mess around.

2. There is a lot of overtime, some of them are not capable, and some of them are too capable

Similarly, some employees who work overtime are really too poor in ability and can't get things done. It seems to be diligent, but in fact it is a tendon doing things, and I don't know that there is a better way.

And some work a lot of overtime because they are entrusted with important tasks. You see that the bosses of many departments often work overtime, because they have too many things to think about and have to work overtime to complete, after all, they have more responsibilities on their shoulders. Either some employees are smarter, and while winning the favor of the boss through overtime, they also use overtime to improve themselves.

Having said all that, whether you work overtime or not, ask yourself, what kind of employee do you belong to?

The definition of a good employee is definitely not measured by the amount of time spent at work each day. In the workplace, I have met many types of people, and by briefly describing their characteristics, readers will be able to judge who makes a good employee.

1.Employee A likes to tell people that he wants to repay the unit and be worthy of his own salary. In his last post, he worked overtime almost every weekend, and claimed how long he hadn't rested.

In a recent system inspection of standards, the position of department A was listed as almost out of control. The reason for this is that everyone found out that A has always liked to shout slogans and put standards on his lips, but when he actually implements them, he still doesn't understand anything. Some professional learning has not really landed, and the phenomenon of copying the practices of other units has led to the system being audited only for the sake of auditing.

2.Employee B is a person who makes many people look very cold, but once he works, he is serious and serious. After arriving at the office every day, the first thing is to open the mailbox, process the new email received after the previous working day and quickly open the ** table of the day to mark the important affairs, and quickly clear the important and urgent related matters every day, so the efficiency is extremely high.

Salaries are paid on the 10th of each month, and the previous staff member handles the salaries of less than 150 personnel, often with delays, and is helped to compile data such as attendance. B is also responsible for other matters such as the corporate culture of the party and caucus, and has handled the affairs for several years, and has never delayed the issuance, and the accuracy is extremely high.

b never works overtime, and when he gets off work, he rushes to school urgently to pick up his children and go home. Colleagues who have business dealings with B sometimes don't like his cold appearance, but they still prefer to cooperate with him at work, because they don't need to worry about many things, and B can exceed expectations for perfect things.

The definition of a good employee is not whether he works overtime, but whether he has work in his eyes and whether he has performance in his hands.

When he works overtime, he does work for a while and plays games for a while. Everyone wondered if he was used to working overtime. Actually, it's important that you don't see his performance.

002: I have a colleague who is often called to work overtime. His work is more tedious, and he is not serious about doing things, and sometimes in order to complete the progress of the work, he always completes it first regardless of the specification, and then digs the pit himself and slowly fills it himself.

Everyone wondered, why did he always have a good attitude but resolutely did not change? You know, sometimes, if you don't get things done all at once, the amount of rework is more time-consuming and laborious.

003: Most of my colleagues leave work on time. Some hurried home to cook, while others hurried to eat and then went out to exercise.

What about you? Which one do you belong to? Do you work overtime for the sake of overtime, or are you forced to work overtime, or are you proactive?

No matter what the reason, the most important thing is that you have a job in your eyes, know what to do, and then take the initiative to arrange it, and let your leaders and colleagues see the results of your work, so as to improve the work performance of individuals and departments.

Hi, I'm Nana, a communicator, a learning facilitator, and a practitioner of personal growth.

There is no universal standard for judging whether or not a good employee is a good employee.

If you can efficiently complete your tasks within a certain period of time, and make corresponding work arrangements and time arrangements, then you leave work on time, it does not mean that you are not a good employee, but that your work is very efficient and efficient, and you can complete the tasks within normal working hours.

If you are sure that you have to work overtime if you have a task, then you have to work overtime to complete the task, which is also a very normal thing, but many units are proud of overtime, thinking that not working overtime is not an active employee, in fact, staying in the work unit, there is nothing to do, just simply wasting time, there is no need for this.

If you have to work overtime due to tight time and heavy tasks, it is also a good choice to cooperate with each other, strive to work overtime, complete the task, or have corresponding discussions, and strive to do a better job.

Nowadays, many units take overtime as a measure of whether an employee is good or bad, which is a very inhumane management method, and over time, employees will also feel proud of working overtime, even if they are fine, they stay in the unit not to be familiar with the work faster, and strive to learn knowledge in the unit, but like to stay in it, for the so-called overtime pay.

I think as an employee of a unit, according to the arrangement of the unit to carry out the corresponding work or overtime, is understandable, there is no need to have any excessive resistance, if you do feel unreasonable about some arrangements of the unit, you can also put forward corresponding suggestions, to see if you can make corresponding modifications, if you want to work in this unit for a long time, then you can rest assured in accordance with the company, the arrangement is good.
