Is it easy to say nowhere you work? It is very important to ask yourself this question because India's work culture is such that we have become used to working more than we need. In our country, there is a culture of saying yes to everything that the boss says. Our work culture is such that being late for the office is considered normal. It is understood that if we want to leave the office on time, we have to take permission in advance. No overtime, we work so much that we feel overworked.
That's why India's number is 125 out of 136 countries on the list of the Happiness Index. We have become so busy in our lives, but there is no need to do this. Today we will tell those things when it becomes necessary for you to say no in the office.
1. If overtime is happening every day
Sometimes it is understandable that the workload increases in the office, but if your daily commuting time is increasing too much, then it is wrong. It is not known whether people will consider you important by doing this or not, but your personal life will be affected. You should try to finish your work in as many working hours as you have. Being an overachiever is a good thing, but if the working hours are increasing, then it can also be thought that you are not capable of completing your work on time.
It is a matter to be understood that if every day you go home late from the office, then your mental stress will also increase. On such an occasion neither your personal life will be able to run properly nor professional. You need to think about whether you are being given extra work or you are unable to complete your work during office hours. In either case, you need to work on your work pattern.
2. When a colleague repeatedly dumps their work on you
It is okay to do some work for someone in friendship, but it can be called human nature that if we get help, then more help is needed. It's okay to help an employee out once in a while, but if they're dumping their work on you or making no effort to learn their job, you shouldn't help them. You need to know when to say no. Friends will take your help, but be aware of how much you should help.
3. If the junior does not learn his work, then he should not
I understand that you need to train juniors once they are in a position, but that doesn't mean that their training continues even after 6-7 months. A time is also fixed for the training of juniors. Junior cannot get his work done by you just by praising you or on the pretext of training. You have to say no to him. He has to understand that you have your own work too.
4. Can also be said to the client
If a client is troubling you more than necessary, creating problems even without any problem, calling you day or night without seeing, then it is also necessary to say no to him. Consider it part of the job description that people will bother you on their own. Do not think that you are doing a job, so you must consider the bad demand of the client.
5. When it comes to your self-respect
Self-respect is very important. If you do not respect yourself, then how will anyone else respect you? You are being insulted again and again that you do not work properly and then the same work is being given to you, then you also need to think a little. It is also important to have fun while doing some work. In such cases, the work culture becomes very toxic. In a toxic workplace, neither you will be able to work properly nor will you be able to concentrate.
Overall, improve your work, and do not leave any shortcomings in your work. It is not that overtime is never done or there is never much work in the office. But you have to understand that you also have a limit.
