Choosing not to get promoted after being promoted by the leader is gradually becoming a new trend and has attracted widespread attention.
Choosing not to get promoted after being promoted by the leader is gradually becoming a new trend and has attracted widespread attention.
In the highly competitive workplace environment, many people desire to be promoted to management. However, more and more people now choose to give up this opportunity and would rather stick to their original positions and continue to do their familiar work. There may be many reasons behind this.
First of all, promotion means more responsibilities and challenges. For those who pursue stability and are afraid of change, this is undoubtedly a kind of pressure. They prefer to dig deep in familiar fields to avoid the uncertainty brought about by promotion.
Secondly, promotion in the workplace is often accompanied by the complication of interpersonal relationships. After promotion, there are more conflicts of interest and interpersonal disputes, which is undoubtedly a burden for those who value the work itself more and hope to maintain simple interpersonal relationships. They would rather choose to stay where they are and enjoy a relatively simple working environment.
In addition, some people are concerned about their work-life status after promotion. They are worried that after promotion, the balance between work and life will be broken, and more time and energy will be invested in work, which will affect the quality of personal life. Therefore, they choose to stay in their current positions to maintain a sense of control over their lives.
- The impact of social development
Promotion in the workplace is often accompanied by greater work responsibilities, longer working hours and higher work pressure, but in the current economic slowdown, the salary increase is relatively limited. The responsibilities assumed after promotion are not proportional to the actual benefits. For example, from an ordinary employee to a middle-level manager, the salary may only increase by about 20%, but the workload will double or even increase. There is a sense of loss, which leads to an imbalance between work and life.
Furthermore, after being promoted in the workplace, you have to face the need to deal with complex interpersonal relationships, take decision-making risks, and even be involved in the trouble of choosing sides. You need to have more energy to coordinate. For young people today, it is necessary to re-evaluate the actual value of promotion.
- Changes in values
In today's rapidly developing information society, the rapid development of the Internet and intelligence has accompanied the growth of young people, and they are deeply influenced by digital information technology, instant communication equipment and smart phones. They pay more attention to experience, have distinct personalities, strong self-esteem, and are willing to invest great enthusiasm, time and even money in the fields they are good at. They have a natural affinity for technological products and are good at using technology products to enrich their lives.
In addition, most young people today are only children. Their lonely growth experience makes them have a strong desire for social interaction, and the powerful Internet provides them with a virtual social space.
Furthermore, diversified cultural products, such as animation, comics, and games, have become their common hobbies, enriching their entertainment life. As a result, they are willing to pay for pursuing their personal interests, which leads to a change in their consumption concept from satisfaction to self-pleasure.
The existence of the above situation makes them feel that promotion does not meet their personal goals. More flexible working hours, or more time to develop hobbies or side jobs, have become their understanding of value pursuit.
- The influence of mental health factors
Promotion in the workplace is often accompanied by greater pressure. Young people may pay more attention to their mental health and are unwilling to sacrifice their happiness for promotion in the workplace. At the same time, excessive competition in the workplace is an important inducement to the mental health of people in the workplace. Many young people begin to refuse to "exchange health for titles." At the same time, as middle-level managers after promotion, they need to bear the dual pressure of superiors and subordinates, which leads young people to choose to withdraw from promotion and "hedge" in advance.
I don't want to be promoted, I just want to focus on my work.
In today's society, it is not only leaders who can get generous salary and benefits. In fact, as an ordinary employee, as long as you have outstanding technical skills, a solid professional foundation, and outstanding business achievements, you can also get considerable salary returns. In certain specific situations, these returns may even exceed the benefits of holding a leadership position. Therefore, choosing not to be promoted but hoping to continue to contribute in your position is not the wrong choice. In short, whether in an employee position or a leadership position, the essence is to realize personal value, but the objects faced and reported to are different.
