Work stress 工作壓力

今天和朋友談論起與老板相處的問題, 她是一位很有經驗和誠懇的員工, 所以她會了解公司的經營方式及財政狀況,及會為公司設想。她發現上司忽略發展新客戶,而只著重服務品質(product quality),此舉會公司不能有持續的發展,而公司亦有可能會賠本。

她不懂得如何令上司明白她的擔心,她曾用不同的暗示,但此舉卻惹來上司反感。

當她向我求救時,我一邊聽著她的描述,一邊在想像她上司的模樣。我感到她上司應是一個對工作有要求,有熱誠的人。但二人的溝通模式反(mode of communication)做成障礙(blockage),及影響對對方的信任。當我的腦袋想著不同的法子,衡量著那一個法子較合適她的處境。這當然是因情況而有所調整。

當我們談論過後,她對明天的工作再抱有信心,我也為她高興!

工作上充滿不同的壓力,有些是有形的(如qouta數,業績);有些是無形的(如同事上司間的氣氛及溝通)。我們如可以有效地處理工作上的壓力,不但可以令我們過得愉快點,更可以令我們的事業上更上一層樓!

Today I have talked to my friend about working with her boss, she is an experienced and sincere staff, she would think from the company's point of view. When she gets to know the business model and financial situation of the company, she worries about the development of the business. The reason is her boss put 100% energy on the product quality but 0% on marketing, or any means to increase the market share or profit.

She had shown her concern to her boss in a subtle way, however, her boss didn't get it and unfortunately, there were some misunderstandings there.

When I was listening to her story and situation, I don't see her boss is very stubborn or silly, instead, the boss is very smart. The thing is communication becomes very trickly sometimes when we have different concerns.

I had different ideas in my mind and I was choosing the best for her, as you know, things are similar but they are all different! After I share my idea with her, my friend understands underlining issue, I'm glad to see that she becomes confindent to face the difficult work.

Work stress is always with us, using the right way to tackle it would help us to have a better life, also we can reach a higher achievement than now!
