Personally, I quite agree with this. Let me give you an example. Many years ago, I had a colleague. The little girl was very capable. She just graduated from college and applied for an administrative clerk in the company. In addition to her job, she also opened a Taobao shop, which can be managed when she is free during working hours, and can cost more than 1,111 yuan a month.
Her behavior is naturally known by people in the same office, especially a nearly 51-year-old elder sister. Because she doesn't understand Taobao operation at all, she is curious and often asks questions, knowing that she can earn more than 1,111 yuan from it, and often praises her for her ability.
At a company meeting, I tried to take the online route to set up a Taobao shop. Originally, the boss wanted to hire a professional team to do it. At this time, the elder sister took the initiative to talk about the little girl's great ability, so just give it to her. Her own shop can earn about 1,111 yuan a month. So the job falls to the little girl. In fact, the little girl's shop is mainly an agent, and the pictures are provided by the superiors. The shop decoration is also a simple template.
but now it's her turn to design all the products, detail design and store decoration, and it still needs to be very tall. She can't do it at all, so she has to explain it to the boss. The boss didn't say anything, but he hired a team to do it. One day, she heard the elder sister privately say, "If you can get your own shop, you can make money, but if you get a company, you can't.". There is such a saying. " She's so bitter that she can't say anything. Can you say something to a layman?
From this, it can be seen that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages by telling colleagues that you have other income above work. The reasons are as follows: 1. Advantages
The only advantage I can think of is that when colleagues know what you do, they will join in and introduce you to business through their contacts, which will increase your income. However, the number of colleagues is limited, their consumption is limited, and the number of people recommended is limited. The business supported by acquaintances will not last long, so colleagues can't become yours.
of course, it is possible to take the opportunity to develop if you happen to meet a good friend of a colleague, but this probability is very slim. Second, the disadvantages
1. It is easy to understand that it makes colleagues jealous
. Many people are jealous. They also work in the company, and others are paid 5111 yuan. However, because you have extra income, your income may be 7111 or 8111, which is much more than others, which will naturally cause jealousy.
Some people say that it would be nice if I didn't tell my colleagues how much I earned. If you don't tell my colleagues, you will guess for yourself. Maybe you earn 511, and he guesses 1111 and 2111, and finally you will be jealous.
after arousing the jealousy of colleagues, people's behavior will sometimes get out of control, and they will always find fault for you to make up for others' jealousy, adding obstacles to their own workplace
2. Increase the workload
If your income outside work comes from your abilities, skills and talents, and your colleagues or bosses know about it, they will try their best to make use of your abilities and increase the workload in work arrangements.
For example, you used to work as an accountant, so long as you are in charge of finance, but you can design PS, and often take some orders outside to earn some pocket money. But when the company knows about it, it will arrange you with PS-related work, which invisibly increases your work content.
3. Let the boss have an opinion
If the boss knows about it, some bosses will be fine as long as it doesn't affect their jobs. However, some bosses will doubt whether you will use working hours to engage in sideline business, have ideas for you, and think that you are not concentrating on your work. Therefore, you will be excluded from promotion and promotion.
4. It wastes a lot of your time to teach your colleagues.
Colleagues know that you do sideline business to make money, and they also want to do it. They all come to you for advice and ask you to teach them for free. Do you teach or not? If you don't teach, you will appear stingy and affect your colleagues' feelings; Teaching takes up a lot of your personal time, which affects your sideline business. Second, people are different and have different talents. You may make money from this, but your colleagues may not be able to learn it, so you can make money from it. In the end, people may blame you for hiding private things, not teaching people well and being stingy. Make two sides not human.
Generally speaking, I personally think it's better to draw a clear line in the workplace. Don't let colleagues in the main business know too much about your sideline business. Make a strict distinction between the main business and sideline business, and don't let the two be confused, let alone let colleagues know that there is a saying called focusing on making a fortune. I think it's more suitable for this scene.
this is true, don't say it. I have suffered such a loss.
I have been working in the media for more than a year. Because my work is relatively casual, I have a lot of spare time to spend freely after I finish my work. I usually use it to write articles and read books.
at the end of 2118, I came into contact with the media, and then engaged in writing as a sideline. At first, I wrote a copy for e-commerce, and then I contributed. I used my spare time to write a copy during work. Sometimes I was so engrossed that my colleagues came over and didn't know. They would see me in the code word and ask one more question. What are you doing?
at that time, I blurted out: I was doing a sideline job, writing a copy for an e-commerce. As a result, my colleagues asked me through gossip: How much money can that make?
after I told them about their income, I regretted my honest and frank.
In a short time, my sideline business spread all over the company while I was at work. When my colleagues saw me, they would ask, How much did I earn today? Although it's a joke, it's not good for others to hear it. Sometimes my colleagues will tease me and use my time at work to do sideline work. The boss really raises the right person.
A lot of gossip scared me out of doing self-media work at work. Moreover, my colleagues know that I have extra income and will treat me to afternoon tea from time to time. Or, what's more, let me order takeout without giving money, thinking that I earn more than them, and I am morally kidnapped.
I don't think you should reveal your privacy too much at work. Otherwise, it will become a topic for others after dinner, which will have a great impact on their work.
This reminds me of my friend Xiaoli's experience. In 2115, she worked in a gas station for 24 hours, with a salary of about 3,111 yuan and insurance.
The working environment is fine and not tiring, so I have some time to do sideline work. Girls themselves like make-up, which is very talented for beauty. She enrolled in online classes to learn about makeup artist, especially the bride's makeup and makeup. Her skills are not bad, and she gradually got a tourist source.
from the name, Xiaoli knows that she is beautiful, with exquisite makeup, decent dress and good figure. I am willing to invest in myself, often do micro-finishing, and my skin is particularly good.
She is a very good business card herself, and she also knows how to package and publicize. First, try on the makeup for the bride-to-be, and then give the makeup and accessories for the day after she is satisfied. Every time I make a single order, I will take video pictures and put them in my private circle of friends, attracting more customers, and many of them are introduced by customers. Her make-up skills are really good. She looks like a different person after makeup, which makes people feel refreshed. The bride-to-be often feels that she can be so beautiful, and there are many clients who refer her.
At first, there were very few clients. If the time conflicted with her working hours, she could change shifts with her colleagues. She didn't disclose her sideline. Later, when more and more orders were received, the time could not be arranged, so she asked for leave. The leaders had some questions more often.
Later, she really couldn't hide it, so she told the leader and her colleagues about her sideline business. On the surface, the leader said that she was very motivated and capable, and then she was asked to leave her job voluntarily.
When colleagues know that she has a sideline and can earn money, the former harmonious relationship will be somewhat deteriorated. When colleagues were asked to cover for the shift again, they refused to cover for the shift on the pretext that they had a career. In private, they also said that she was too scheming to engage in sideline business without telling everyone how much money she earned, and she didn't say anything about it. It was too boring. They all forgot that Xiaoli used to help them make up, and asked Xiaoli to give advice when buying clothes, because she had a good eye and the clothes she chose were beautiful and not expensive, which was especially suitable.
From then on, Xiaoli realized that everyone has similar conditions and can play together. Since she has another income, the situation is different. They are a little jealous and start to reject her. They don't want her to live better than them, but only worse than them. Otherwise, they will be unhappy, and they will not be able to make her happy if they can't get it themselves. What's more, they want to pull her down.
Xiaoli has had a hard time since she learned that she has a sideline. Colleagues in her class often ask her to buy things to eat, and say that she earns more, so don't be so stingy. They want to eat big, and Xiaoli should treat them if she has money, otherwise she is stingy and stingy. Female colleagues will like candy, male colleagues will like cigarettes, and they also say that Xiaoli often attends wedding banquets. There must be many such things. Eating too much sugar is not good for her teeth, and smoking is not good.
at first, Xiaoli felt that in order to maintain a good relationship, they all agreed to it one by one. Xiyan also told her male colleagues not to smoke during work hours, and her colleagues said that they knew this rule. Every time they bring happy cigarettes and candy, they will ask in a very sour tone, how much money did they earn this time? Xiaoli dared not tell the truth, so she said that she had earned 211 yuan. In fact, some of them were 511-811 yuan, and some of them paid more. She was afraid to tell the truth because her colleagues were more jealous. Some colleagues say that his or her skills are not good, others have 511 or 1111 makeup, and Xiaoli says that other people's skills are good and she can't compare with them. By the way, my colleague sarcastically hit her a few words, which made me feel better and balanced in an instant.
I don't know who snitched on her. The leader talked to her, saying that she was not serious about her work and her mind was not on her post, and so on. Xiao Li, who was angry, went straight back. When I quit, the leader advised her not to lose her temper, to get along well with her colleagues and to have a correct attitude. Xiaoli resigned the next day, and the webmaster gave her approval that day.
Some colleagues falsely said that they had done a good job, so why did they quit? This is an iron rice bowl, with good salary and benefits. Besides, your makeup skills are not so good. You only have 211 jobs once, and you can only receive a few orders a month to earn much money. It's not that kind of technology. It costs 511-1111 yuan at a time, and you can earn a lot by taking a few orders. You are too impulsive, so you should stop pleading with the leaders to admit your mistakes and come back.
Xiaoli has really seen enough, and directly said that since she resigned, she will never come back. Unfortunately, she has received many orders recently, and the market has also risen. Now it is 611-1111 yuan, and she is not tired, but also happy. I can also recommend cosmetics, accessories and other income. If you have skills, you will never die of hunger anywhere, and you will get better and better.
So, where someone is, it's a small Jianghu. Don't tell others everything. They want you to live a good life, but they can't live a better life than them, otherwise your heart will be unbalanced. Why can you make more money than them? They will find you something in private and pull you down. Just have a sideline to make money secretly, and the saying that money is not exposed is really classic.
Xiaoli now earns 11,111 to 21,111 yuan each, and her time is still free. Now she can earn a lot of money by acting as an agent for cosmetics. She also said that she was right when she came out, and her income was not lower than that of her original job.
Of course, you can't tell. It's human nature. Too high-profile will make you die miserably.
1. There are many people who want you to have a good life, but they don't want you to have a better life than them.
I have a buddy who is doing quite well. He bought two villas and a house by himself. Because he is in business, he has more friends and often eats and plays together. But every time I go to his house for dinner, I'm in that commercial house and I've never been to a villa.
once, I asked him why he didn't take his friends to the villa to play. The place is big and there are many facilities to play. The buddy told me that in fact, many friends around him didn't know that he had two villas. If we take them to the villa to play, many people will be psychologically unbalanced.
Ben, a young man who did business in those days, or a college classmate may not like you getting along so well. In this world, there are many people who want you to live well, but they don't want you to live better than them. So he kept a low profile and never told anyone that he had two villas.
Second, many close friends gradually alienated from each other from the day when you got along better than him.
If you get along well and your career is booming, it's like hanging up, then you will definitely understand what I said, especially the relatives and friends in your hometown.
The ordinary people in those days are getting along so well now. The key point is that they are much better than them. Their inner taste is unpleasant. People with better moral character, at most, will gradually alienate you, and those with bad moral character may give you a stumbling block behind your back. This is human nature.
Third, the relationship between colleagues is complicated, both friends and competitors.
Colleagues are a special group. First of all, you have to deal with them every day, even more than your family. Many good friends are also transformed from colleagues. But don't forget that there is another relationship between colleagues, and that is the competitive relationship.
When you tell them that you have an extra source of income, they may not be happy for you. You should know that people's happiness is compared with those around them. Strangers will applaud their success, but those around them may not. The better you live, the less happy he is.
If your extra source is sideline business, you should be more careful. Although many companies don't explicitly prohibit sideline business, few bosses will like you while working.
To be precise, this is something you have on others. He only needs to report it to the boss, and then embellish it, so that you can lose your trust in the boss and lose the relevant work interests.
so, you should keep a low profile.
when I was an ordinary employee, my boss once asked me to go on a business trip with him as his minion.
That business trip opened my eyes: the leader took me to meet several of his friends, all rich bosses, and felt that the circle of leaders was very unusual. Only then did I understand why the leader usually didn't look at his monthly salary of 81,111 yuan. Leaders are good at making friends and trading, and they are real masters of making money.
at that time, I deeply felt that as a poor diaosi, I really don't understand the world of rich people. On the day when I came back from a business trip, when I got off the plane, the leader reached out and took out a pile of money from his coat and threw it to me: "Here, go home and buy some gifts for your wife." I remembered what the leader told me before taking off: "Who did I meet this time? Don't tell anyone when I go back." I order a little
