How long can one person do the work of two people in the company?

This situation is very common and varies from person to person.

In 20 17 years, the benefits of my previous company were not very good. The people in the business department left first, and gradually some colleagues in the functional departments also resigned.

What should I do if I resign? Someone still has to do the work, but the company doesn't recruit new people. According to the principle of staffing, the benefit is not good, and the staffing needs to be reduced! In this way, there will be two people doing the work of the original three people, or even 1 person doing the work of the original two people.

It seems that everyone's workload has increased, but the overall workload is not simply doubled 1+ 1=2. Because there are many people, there are communication costs and a lot of auxiliary work. If you give it to one person, it will save a lot of time and streamline some unnecessary work, so the workload of one person has increased, but it has not doubled as expected.

Of course, the leaders have also seen this situation. Let one person do the work of two people, but you can't increase the quantity without raising the price, can you? Therefore, the wages of those who stayed did increase substantially, basically by 20%. The employees who stayed were basically satisfied.

After all, the company also has practical difficulties, and personal wages have also increased. This is a win-win situation, so many colleagues don't need to haggle over it.

Of course, this refers to the company I have experienced, and other companies may have different situations. Then, back to this topic, how long one person can do the work of two people is very different for each company, but there are several factors to consider:

First, personal wages.

If the workload increases significantly, the company does not intend to recruit people, but also make it clear to the employees who take over, otherwise it will bully honest people. It is right to do more work, but those who do well should also be promoted. You can't pretend to be confused and extract the surplus value of honest people. You can do it once, but it won't be so easy to do it later! Other employees can see clearly that if other employees resign, do you think others are willing to take over the job of the resigned person? Nine times out of ten, we can't arrange it, and everyone is not a fool! It is unrealistic to expect everyone to be a living Lei Feng without salary and not to treat employees as fools all the time.

As an individual, when taking over the work of a resigned employee, you must make it clear to the leader that if you work long hours, you will get a raise. This is the best time to bargain. Don't be silent. I think this is a place to fight for, and it is also very aboveboard.

Second, can you bear it personally?

One person does the work of two people. If you have the ability, and your original job is not very substantial, it is no problem to do the work of two people. I'm afraid your own work is also very fulfilling and stressful. Now, if you take over all the new jobs of a person, can you take them? This is something to consider. Don't refuse easily, and don't be brave. The safest way is to know the job content of the resigned employee in detail first, see if he can do it, make an evaluation and be aware of it, otherwise it will be difficult to take over and sell it again.

Third, do you have any other better choices?

The company asked you to do two jobs. Do you have any other options? If it's impossible, you have to bite the bullet and accept it, but don't make a move if you can't afford it. You should give feedback about it. Once you have it, you should go all out to do it. Of course, if you have a better choice, you can not accept the work arrangement of the company and the leader.

Man struggles upwards, but water flows downwards. Since the company can use you, I hope you can do more work, and you can also strive for it to maximize your personal interests. This is the best and most contractual.

How long you can persist in doing it depends on whether the individual's ability to resist stress and pay is directly proportional to the harvest. Whether it is money or personal growth, if you have income, you will be more motivated to persist. Otherwise, what's the point of such persistence?

That's what happens at work. My colleague resigned, so it is understandable for one person to do the work of two people. But how long it can last has the following considerations.

1. Is it temporary or permanent for the company not to recruit people?

The company doesn't recruit people. Maybe there is no recruitment plan this year. Many companies recruit in autumn or spring. After that, even if someone resigns, they will not set up a recruitment plan for a certain position. You can only share the hard work and finish the work first.

If so, most people can accept it. Because there is hope, just stick to it until someone new comes. A month, two months, I gradually got used to it.

If the company does say that it will not consider recruitment, I believe many people will have opinions. I will ask my boss for a raise soon. After all, one person did the work of two people at ordinary times.

Second, is this persistence good for you?

It's not important for one person to do the work of two people, but what he can get from it. Did one person do the work of two people, and the salary increased? Work is for a better life. Persistence without return is doomed to be short-lived and of low quality.

In fact, economic returns are not the most important. Is it good for your career planning to work for two people? If it happens to be a position that interests you, or a job that is beneficial to your future development, you can naturally stick to it.

But if your interest is not high, you can only focus on dealing with some trivial matters, you can't grasp the essence, and you are not interested in learning. Then not only can't you persist, but persistence is also an errand, which is unnecessary.

Third, what should we do in this situation?

You will encounter many similar situations at work. It's as small as a colleague asking for leave, and as big as the subject said, a colleague resigned. When encountering similar problems, we should put our minds right in time and treat our work correctly.

1. Improve work efficiency

A person's time and energy are limited. If he is used to the usual pace of work, he will inevitably not adapt to the sudden increase in workload. At this time, the outside world can't change, you can only improve your work efficiency.

Make a list of things to do today as soon as you get to work, and classify them according to their importance and urgency. Do important and urgent things first, and then do important and non-urgent things. When you do something, concentrate and practice your attention deliberately.

2. A well-founded salary increase

When the work is gradually on the right track and can adapt, you can explain your work results to your superiors. Tell the boss about the salary increase with facts and figures.

The workplace pays attention to winning. A qualified boss knows this better. As long as the abilities match, the salary increase is not a problem.

3. Seize the opportunity and temper yourself.

At this time, you can use this opportunity to exercise your ability to resist pressure and work, and it is also a good time to show yourself. It doesn't matter if you suffer for a while, your ability is within your grasp.

To take a step back, even if the company simply squeezes your labor force, the skills are in the body, which means that the chips are in hand.

In short, it's hard to say how long it will last. But in its place, seek its politics. It's not a bad thing to do your duty. What I'm afraid of is messing around by myself, losing big because of small.

That's a good question There are two kinds of answers, one is grounded answer, arguing for one's own interests; The second is the inspirational answer of chicken soup. How big your heart is, how big your career is. Refer to a popular video: employees throw out resignation reports, and the boss asks, "Less money?" No. There is no need to ask "too tired" again. Why is this? Answer "wings are hard". Look at the problem from these two angles:

First, one person does the work of two people, which generally does not happen in large formal companies. What else does the human resources department do to eat? Only small companies will appear for a long time, and one person will have more posts. Capable employees are as busy as octopus, but the boss, like a blind man, mistakenly thinks that the workload is not large and does not give employees a raise. In the face of this situation, there are generally two ways to deal with it: first, if you just take the general work of two people, it will not help to improve your comprehensive ability, you should be good at complaining to your boss and asking for more manpower, and in principle, don't ask for a raise. Because you ask for a raise, the boss will think that since you can do it, you haven't worked enough before. Second, if it is a compound job, it will help to exercise your ability. You can persist in doing it for a while and polish your comprehensive ability, not for the boss, but for yourself to "harden your wings in the future".

Second, look at your professional mind. Some newcomers in the workplace are ambitious. They don't go to work in big companies, but prefer to work in small enterprises. The purpose is to start a business as a boss in the future. The advantage of working in a small enterprise is that you can get in touch with the whole process business as much as possible If you go to a big enterprise, it may just be a screw. I know a child whose parents could have entrusted him to a big enterprise, but he chose a small one. In particular, he works very hard, rushing to do any work and participating in any problems. He doesn't care about salary. His goal is to be familiar with the operation process of a company in the shortest time. Sometimes, the dirty work is tiring, others hide, and he rushes to do it, in order to exercise his ability to solve problems. The boss thought he had found a "cheap big baby". Unexpectedly, the child resigned three years later and set up a small company, which is now bigger than his old club. It turns out that the child is scrambling to do everything, not for performance, but for the boss's company internship.

Third, finally say something grounded. Taking on the work of two people by one person is squeezing your labor cost, which is the petty mind of the boss. In particular, the nature of two people's work is the same, just to accumulate workload for you. You used to make 10 steamed buns, but now you don't get double salary for making 20 cages. In this case, ten days and a half to help the boss and colleagues is a kind of dedication. If the boss cares, save a person's salary, steal happiness, and trick you into paying. Don't be an idiot.

This task of piling up repetitive workload does great harm to you, which not only takes up your time and energy, but also causes you to have no time to study and make progress. If the boss doesn't give you a raise, you will lose three times. Moreover, if the workload doubles, it is easy to make mistakes in the busy work, and you may also "get more for more work" and be indispensable. Resolutely put forward to the boss, refuse to accept it, don't be afraid to make the boss angry, it is better to have short-term pain than long-term pain, take out your own contract and labor law, and complain to the boss. The fundamental purpose is to get rid of repetitive workload and never raise wages.

Remember: in this case, don't apply for a raise, but put off the task and let the boss add people or find someone else to work. If you ask for a raise, the boss will despise you "you only have money in your eyes". And you will always remember that the boss will be angry if he gives you more money. Only if he gives you 2000 yuan and 20000 yuan more work, will he be psychologically balanced. As long as you want money, the boss will give you a bad review. It's really not worth the loss for 2000 yuan, so I won't pick it up at first and will resolutely resist it. After that, the boss will do nothing. If you want money, the boss will hold a grudge for life. He always thinks that you are taking advantage of the fish in troubled waters and have a bad character. You are a part-time job, do your job well, refuse extra work, scold you at most, and it will be over afterwards.

I have been running the company since 2004, and I have never realized that it is difficult to recruit people. When others are tired of business, we sell by telephone, while others sell by telephone. We mainly sell by online WeChat, so we have always been very good at recruiting people, but we feel it is difficult to recruit people in the past two years. Ma Yun said that when he started his business, because the company had no money and the office environment was not good, everyone who could walk on the street was pulled away.

I think Ma Yun exaggerated this matter, around 2000.

Where is it difficult to recruit people? It's hard to find a job, but 20 18 gave me that feeling. You can't ask him if he can win the job, you have to ask him if he wants to come. You must see his face when you come. At the end of 20 17, we once recruited customer service. Two little girls asked if the company could settle down. I said the company couldn't settle down, and they walked for half an hour. I'm going to call the company to rent a house, and they said they found a job.

In other words, it's not that the company doesn't recruit, but that no one has come to apply, and no one can only do the work of two people alone. This will be the norm. Even if someone comes to apply, what is the situation? I need money now. My mortgage and car loan will be tens of thousands in January. Do you dare to give tens of thousands to new employees? We don't say whether you can bring tens of thousands of benefits. Don't make any mistakes for me in the first few months, just cause heavy losses, stick to it and help your company tide over the difficulties! Otherwise, the enterprise will be finished. In the past two years, more and more entrepreneurs have given up, and it is still difficult to find a job in the end.

Many companies will have this situation:

When a person leaves his job, the leader will assign the work of the former to other colleagues. At first, other colleagues disagreed, but the leader said that he would recruit people soon. After waiting for other colleagues to do it for a while, I found that the leader didn't mean to recruit people. Only then did I find out that the company was not going to recruit any more people. Therefore, the work of the resigned employee was successfully handed over to other colleagues.

Enterprises will hand over the work of departing employees to other colleagues instead of recruiting people for two reasons:

First of all, I think there are too many people

Before employees left their jobs, the leaders felt that there were too many people. Now that the employees have resigned, the number is just right, so the company hopes that other colleagues will share the work of the resigned employees.

When the company is overstaffed, it is understandable that the company will not recruit new people. It's just that other colleagues will feel unhappy if they share other people's work!

Second, for the sake of cost.

Even if there is a shortage of people, some companies are not going to recruit any more. At this time the company is considering the cost. The labor cost of some companies is the bulk of the total cost of the company, and the operating efficiency of the company can only be improved by reducing the cost.

Faced with this situation, what should I do?

As an employee, if you increase your work, you can protect your rights and interests by the following measures:

1. Is there any other development in the company?

The company has increased your workload, so have you been promoted? What does this job content mean to you? For example, if you find it challenging and helpful for your future growth, then these workloads are acceptable. After all, efforts are short-lived, and anything is acceptable as long as it helps to grow.

2. Does the company consider giving you a raise?

If the company considers the cost, I'm afraid it's difficult for you to raise your salary, but since your workload has increased, you have reason to ask for a raise.

3. If you don't get a raise,

If the company doesn't get a raise in the end, you can see if what you do is developmental. If this job is valuable to you, you can stick to it and wait for your wings to harden before you consider jumping ship!

Now many companies just say nothing and pregnant women leave. Don't hire one person to do the work of two people. It's been half a year, and hope has come. One more person is going to take maternity leave again. Then you came to me. Why do two people in the same position have nothing to do with them all day? As a result, pregnant women observe for themselves and say how busy we are here to help. Then I went to the leader myself and told him that I was busy there. Can't take her business. Why don't you share my work with two other people? She stole my business. The leader was silent. Pregnant women ask for leave to go to the hospital. I have nothing to say to that leader. The pregnant woman who asked for leave has asked for leave again. The other one is going on maternity leave soon. Working in this company is really hopeless. Forget it. I applied for resignation. The pregnant woman in the back asks the maternity leave leader and asks the person in the back to pick up the pregnant woman. As a result, people stopped working, and pregnant women came to me and asked me to stick to it until the end of the year. I said I didn't want to insist. Later, the leaders discussed with pregnant women and asked them to stick to the end of the year (a few days before the expected date of delivery). Sweat at the thought of such a leader.

I just experienced this kind of thing. A girl from our department went home to have a baby. The leader asked me to take her job and made it clear that I would not recruit new people. So I'm getting busier every day, and I can't even squeeze out a glass of water or even go to the toilet. It's really not an exaggeration. I go home from work at 9 o'clock every day and sometimes work overtime on weekends. The key to being these leaders is not to say anything nice, but also to scold every day. More importantly, the salary is not high. So I insisted on leaving my job for more than a month, rested at home for a week, and changed my job. The salary is higher than before, and there are not so many things. In short, it's much better than the last job. So this thing is really eager to win, and the leader just takes people to cook. I'll arrange some for you to see if you respond. As long as you don't go too far, he will increase your workload bit by bit. If you can accept it, you will be beside it. If you can't accept it, then change jobs as soon as possible. Maybe the next job is better than this.

How can I put it? I didn't graduate from my internship this year, but I found a job as a clerk through my relationship, which is more complicated. It is said that the last one in this position lost her temper and pushed my sister to the top, but she hired me because of her strong work intensity. She told me that the boss knows how big the workload is, and it depends on your performance. At first, he tried to look like a top player, and then one or two jobs were delayed, so he couldn't recruit me again. I didn't want this kind of internship, but the salary is low and I can't afford it. Then the point comes. The person who took me said that I had been working hard before and wanted to have a rest. And then I'm miserable. The total number of working days is less than 20 days, and the person who took me has asked for leave. Now I seem confused about everything. I have to call the person who took me on a business trip. I'm not familiar with it. She is also awesome. If she can answer the phone, she will give me the right advice. Colleagues will remind me of things I don't know. The leader will also arrange overtime when I can't finish it, and will encourage me and remind me what to do. We have to apply for overtime here, and the boss usually won't give me more to save costs.

I don't think how much work is the main thing, but the key is the working atmosphere. My colleagues won't help me if I leave my job. I think I'll pack my things and go home, after all, while working. It is also very sad to write a broken paper at school! Finally, I hope that the people who take me will come back from vacation and don't run away.

However, leaving a job has nothing to do with the job, but there is a better place to go.

As a person who has experienced this, I think it should be like this.

Is it worthwhile for me to do more work?

The more valuable a person develops in the workplace, the higher his salary.

Therefore, don't care too much about valuable things, grasp as much as possible, and try to grow as long as possible.

Say a simple truth: you have practiced martial arts and have not been treated fairly here. Can't you find a better place?

How much does the boss pay?

As long as it is not a temporary departure, once the boss shows no signs of hiring, he will definitely ask for a raise.

Sometimes, when the body is competent, it doesn't matter to do more work. The key is to give enough money.

For example, Alibaba's employment principle is to let three people do the work of five people and get the salary of four people.

As long as it is not particularly harmful to the health, it is acceptable to get more money. For example, Huawei, everyone knows that overtime is serious, and everyone is still robbing.

If you have money, you can do this. Why not stick to it until you are old?

abstract

You are so sad. Be used by the boss as a cow and horse! I really feel sorry for you for a minute!

Are you a bad-hearted boss, or are you trying to annoy you on purpose? Why do you want to do the work of two people by yourself?

Are you tired? You should not hold on!

Let's start with a summary conclusion:

Persistence will not work. Unless you can do two things at once, or you are tired.

How long you can persist does not depend on your ability to resist pressure, but on whether persistence can bring you extra income and returns.

It is difficult for one person to do the work of two people, and it is difficult for anyone else to do it all the time.

So don't force it, ask the boss strategically and let the boss recruit people.

First, find out why the company has been refusing to recruit people.

It used to be a job done by two people, but now one person has left, obviously one person is missing.

However, the company has refused to recruit people. What is the reason?

Have you made it clear?

Is it difficult to recruit people recently?

Or the salary given by the company, the salary and benefits are relatively low, and others are unwilling to come?

Or does the boss have a problem with you and deliberately want to mess with you?

Or did the boss put pressure on you in this way to get rid of you, forcing you to leave automatically?

I think you can make a comprehensive judgment based on your understanding of the boss and leaders, as well as your performance and treatment in the company.

In particular, is the company doing this maliciously or unintentionally?

To put it more directly, is the company trying to force you to leave and drive you away?

If you don't understand this, it is unrealistic for you to ask the boss to recruit people blindly.

Second, pay attention to some strategies that force the boss to take the initiative to recruit people.

It must be very tiring for you to do the work of two people by yourself now.

And there are many bad bosses who may not give you a raise.

In that case, you can pay attention to some strategies to force the boss to take the initiative to recruit people.

So don't keep verbally asking the boss to recruit people, talk about some strategies, create some results, and force the boss to submit.

Strategy 1: Deliberately delay and reduce your work efficiency.

If the boss requires two days to finish, you can put it off for three or four days.

Strategy 2: deliberately screw up the work.

The boss looked at it and said, alas, this man is really inefficient in doing two people's work and often makes mistakes.

He may consider hiring employees for the benefit of the company.

Because you are inefficient, you often screw things up, which will directly affect the company's money.

This is safer, because from a normal point of view, it is completely normal for you to do the work of two people by yourself, whether it is mistakes or inefficiency.

Third, ask for a raise.

Since one person does the work of two people, you can definitely ask the boss for a raise.

If the boss is unwilling to raise his salary, he must recruit someone.

Because he knows very well in his heart, what will happen in the end if you keep doing the work of two people by yourself without increasing your salary.

If the boss gives you a raise, I think you can continue working first.

But you can also use some strategies in the second step to skillfully force the boss to recruit people.

Fourth, resign and leave.

Take one person's salary, do two people's work, fuck two people's hearts and take two people's risks.

The workplace is so big, why do you have to hang yourself from this tree?

The boss is unwilling to hire people and give you a raise. You can quit your job and change companies.

Don't leave me here, but leave me here, don't you think?

Fifth, grow strong.

The company dares to give you the work of two people, without giving you a raise or hiring. Many times, it may be that the company thinks it will eat you.

Why does the company dare to bully you? The reason is simple, because your use value to the company is not high, and it doesn't matter whether the company has you or not.

So you can study, grow and improve yourself deliberately. Make yourself strong and valuable to the company.

At this time, the company dare not make mistakes for you. Even the work of two people dare not put it on you, so blatantly bully you.

6. Whether to insist on it depends on whether there are any benefits.

Your present situation is that one person is doing the work of two people. Is it necessary to continue to insist?

In fact, this has nothing to do with your ability to resist pressure and whether you can persist.

It still depends on persistence and whether it can bring you additional benefits. Like extra income. Extra pay, extra care.

In the long run, it is unrealistic for one person to do the work of two people.

So from this perspective, you can't stick to it after all.

You still have to use some of the strategies mentioned above to force the boss to recruit people wisely.
