For work, most people are between happy and unhappy, changing at any time. Of course, there are still many people who are used to it, numb and mechanized.
If you can choose between happiness and money, I believe many people will choose a job with more money, but they may not be relaxed and happy. Because of the same time investment, the temptation of higher income is stronger, otherwise not so many people will choose to quit because of their salary.
So, I think money is more important!
I know you will say that I am too realistic, but after reading the following three cases, you will know why I say so.
Single break? I am willing to pay 6000 yuan a month!
Recently, more and more people are looking for jobs. Xiao Mo's resume is like a stone, and there is no reply.
With seven years of administrative experience, she lost her job because of poor management in her last company. After receiving the notice from the company in April, she immediately started to refresh her resume and deliver it to the company.
A month later, she delivered more than 50 companies, and only three companies invited her for an interview. Two of them have explicitly rejected her, and the remaining one is still waiting for a reply.
She is not satisfied with this company, because her salary requirement is 8 thousand, and the company's recruitment information only says 4-6 thousand, and there is no provident fund, but also a single holiday. However, if she doesn't work again, she will soon spend all her savings and can't afford the rent.
So she said that as long as the company gave her 6 thousand salary, even if it was a single vacation, she would accept it.
I used to be the executive director of a foreign trade company. It's easy to go to work. I travel abroad once a year, with five insurances and one gold, and two weekends. Today last year, she was still thinking that if job-hopping requires a salary increase of at least 10%, the job of taking a single break will definitely not be considered.
Nowadays, faced with more than 100 people competing for 1 job, Xiao Mo still chooses to get employment first, earn money first, and then talk about conditions.
Happiness becomes less important, but money is more important.
A 46-year-old workplace executive returned to the workplace after "1 year leave"
A 46-year-old middle-aged man on the Internet finally found a job after a year of unemployment. He is particularly excited and slightly uneasy about the hard-won job opportunity.
On the first day of work, he came to the company early, because the door of the company was not opened yet. He was anxious when he was waiting at the door. He hasn't worked for a long time, so I don't know if he can adapt.
He recorded a video for himself, saying that it is really not easy to find a job at this age. In the year of resting at home, I didn't have any income, and my heart was very uncomfortable. Especially during the epidemic, the whole family stayed together, and the children's attitude towards him became very strange.
He didn't want to be so depressed anymore, so he summoned up his courage and went out to find a job and change himself.
I don't know what he used to do. Maybe he is an executive, or a boss.
When I saw that he was anxious about his new job, I was very upset. I wonder if he will have the same trouble at his age.
But one thing I'm sure of, he needs this job too much! Making money has become his most important thing. No matter how much money he earns, as long as he can reintegrate into the workplace, it is enough.
Work 15, monthly salary of 3500, almost lost the competitiveness in the workplace.
I have a best friend who has worked in Shanghai for 15 years. Her salary has risen from 3000 yuan in her twenties to 3500 yuan in her thirties now. The growth rate of her salary is far behind that of her age.
In her twenties, she said that she worked to kill time and her husband was responsible for bringing home the bacon. So, she got a job at the front desk, just sending and receiving emails and making forms every day.
15 years have passed, and colleagues from the company have come and gone several times. She just can't get rid of it. She thinks that as long as she is happy.
In the first half of this year, her husband's company was affected and owed a lot of money to the bank, which simply could not afford the expenses at home. So my best friend needs to use her salary to supplement her family, and then she begins to feel the importance of money.
She applied to the company for a raise, but the boss of the company indirectly refused her. Then I gave her several business opportunities. As long as I can make achievements, my income will increase.
So, she started a business. During that time, she suffered a lot and got a lot of suntan. Compared with the stability of the front desk, the business is really tired and annoying.
Two months later, she started her first business and got a bonus of more than 7000 yuan. She found that making money was a particularly happy and fulfilling thing.
Being happy at work may not necessarily make money, but making money can make people happy!
