Can’t stand the pressure of overloaded work, and admire the walk-and-go travel? But resignation is not as easy as you think.
Joining a company is like a screw welded in the workplace. A little bit of movement in the company requires multiple approvals.
Job hopping is more like a bet in a certain sense. Past experience, corporate endorsement, education, age… are all bargaining chips when hopping.
Slightly careless, the situation may be worse than before the job change.
Some people can afford to gamble, and they won’t be able to change another one next time;
Someone can’t afford to gamble or dare not gamble, what if the family is worse?
Others are not even qualified to gamble and are deeply stuck by the company.
This issue of the microscopy story focuses on the latter two, approaching those who are unable to change jobs for various reasons, among them:
Some people have worked in a company for 18 years, and now they are in a dilemma;
Some people are exhausted from working day and night, but still dare not jump out of the “fire pit”;
Some people have worked for six years and enjoyed a company’s 300,000 interest-free loan, but lost their “freedom”;
Have you ever had this situation? Are you worried that you might follow their old path?
Here is the true story about them:

greed is trapped by the leader
Accomplices earn rebates and cannot escape
Vivi31 years old HR
I can’t leave my job. Most of the reasons are my own, but the leader is not a good person.
When I gave birth to my child, in order to balance work and life, I dropped into the human resources post of our company for recruitment. My monthly fixed salary has dropped from more than 10,000 yuan to more than 7,000 yuan. I am mainly responsible for assisting the human resources director and handling clerical chores.
I am still quite unbalanced inside.
Although this job is from 9 to 5 and does not have to work overtime, I just have a baby and I need money everywhere. After my income drops, I always want to find other ways to make up for it.
At that time, a colleague in the same department resigned. The colleague used to get close to suppliers such as recruitment platforms and headhunters. I take over all his resources as expectedComing over, Energy Conservation got a lot of gifts and fruit gift boxes from them every year.
After getting acquainted with headhunters, we often have dinner together. Once during a meal, a headhunter told me that they would share rebates with Party A’s HR in order to better cooperate with Party A. At that time, I was mindful.
The second year, our family renovated the house when we needed money. The idea of retrieving the deduction reappeared, and I tentatively raised the matter with a good headhunter.
Seeing that I was moved, the headhunters immediately shared the doorway with me: one headhunter charged 5%-10% of the charge, and the other paid directly, 4,000 yuan per order.
I thought to myself, if you don’t make a profit, you won’t tell my leader about this, and naturally I won’t say it. Anyway, it is the “hidden rules” of the industry, everyone keeps it secret.
In the past six months, I was able to get a lot of money from the headhunter every month, even higher than my monthly salary. Later, I will take orders from other companies in my free time as a part-time job.
There is no impermeable wall in the world.
One day the leader came to me and asked directly, “You manage the channel well, and the headhunting company’s boss also told me, but do you think there is nothing to hide from me?”
I know I can’t keep it secret-these channels should have his eyeliner. I can only admit the mistake to her, but she was surprised that she didn’t pursue it.
Later, this matter became a secret between me and the leader. Every time I get the rebate, I will give her a certain percentage of cash in a letter. Although my income is less, I feel more at ease.
A few years later, I gave birth to a second child and planned to resign. As a result, the leader was not happy when he heard it, and said directly, “We have been working together for so long, you know that there are some things that cannot be broken, and only you can do it.”
I’m scared, although I don’t think she will poke things out, which is not good for everyone. But she is a leader and can do more than me, so I don’t dare to bet.
Two days later, the leader invited me to dinner again and said that he would give me a promotion and a salary increase. With both the hard and the soft, the resignation will not stop.
I am annoyed by the greed in my heart, which made people get their necks stuck and let them be slaughtered. Afterwards, every month I took the red envelopes given by the headhunters, and felt hot, but I had to accept them. Who would let me start.
Soon I was promoted, and there was no heartfelt happiness, because I knew the rules of the game, not because of ability, but because of the exchange of terms between the leader and me.
I am exhausted and have not resigned, I am afraid that the next company will be even worse
Non-stop work in exchange for a 500 raise—not enough to see a doctor!
Wave 25-year-old designer
A few years ago, I was a designer in a small foreign company, responsible for designing kitchen furniture.
Design is a very arduous task. It often happens that customers urge manuscripts or customers are dissatisfied and request revisions. During that time, I worked overtime almost every day, and staying up until two or three in the morning was normal.
The boss is a very calculating Jew. He never approves our overtime list. The reason is: Your own low efficiency leads to overtime, which is not mandatory by the company.
In a few years, I found that my energy level was low, my mental state was also very low, and even my menstruation was delayed.
Once, my menstruation was delayed for 3 months without coming. I suddenly became nervous and took a long time to go to the hospital for treatment. After the doctor read it, he told me very seriously that excessive anxiety can cause endocrine disorders, and if it is not properly maintained, it will affect fertility.
Relying on my youth, I didn’t take the doctor’s words too much to my heart. After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, my menstruation came as scheduled. I worked overtime and stayed up all night as usual, and my colleagues were all working overtime together, so I didn’t dare to “be special”.
But soon, a rejection became the fuse of my departure. At that time, I had worked overtime and revised a dozen times for a month. The client was still dissatisfied, and I complained to the boss about my bad attitude.
The Jewish boss quickly called me to the office and accused me of my work attitude. But I have already thought about it in my heart. This time, I don’t want to bear it anymore. I just went back to him, “If I’m not satisfied, I will resign.”
The blockbuster blasted him into silence. Then I walked out of the office leisurely, wrote and submitted my resignation application.
However, three days later, my application for resignation was not approved and I was returned.
On the fourth day, the boss called me to the office and talked with me earnestly for more than an hour, to the effect of persuading me to stay and consider again. But my intention to go has been decided, and I will still submit my resignation application after returning.
The boss had no choice but to resort to a reprieve, saying that he would let me do it for another two months, and I could leave if I recruited new people.
I relented and agreed.
Unexpectedly, half a year later, the “newcomer” did not appear at all, let alone talk about my Last Day. Often the old tasks are not over, and new tasks are sent over again. I always take orders and continue to work overtime.
In the past six months, a designer in the department took maternity leave, leaving only me and another designer to do three jobs. The workload increased dramatically.
The increased workload caused me to have another problem with my body-there was a circle of eczema under my belly button, which was itchy and painful. When I went to the hospital to see a doctor, the doctor said that my body was exhausted to the critical point to get this disease.
In this way, I take painkillers every day and drag my tired body to work. I thought to myself: “If you still design, even if you go to a new company, you have to adaptThe new environment may be busier”.
This illness made me retreat and reject a new offer that I had just received.
Later, the newcomer finally arrived, and the colleagues on maternity leave also returned to work. My work has gradually become easier, I have less overtime, and my health has improved. I’ve been working like this and haven’t left yet.
Now when I am unhappy, I still regret it. I regret that I didn’t get rid of the soft heart in the most difficult time.
Although I increased my salary, I was physically broken, taking medicine and seeing a doctor, and maxed out my health insurance card. This was far more than the increase of a few hundred yuan. It was a real loss.
After working for 6 years, the company lent me 300,000 yuan
Don’t even want to leave without money
Sister Pei, 33 years old, principal
I work as a school district management in a training institution.
Management, one of the core indicators to measure my work is the turnover rate. Every year, our company has strict evaluation indicators for each part, profit margin and revenue account for 40% and 25% respectively, and customer satisfaction and employee turnover rate account for 20% and 15% respectively.
A large part of our company’s personnel is sales, which are highly mobile positions. In order to be able to control the turnover rate of employees, I also developed a retention skill.
For example, our company has an “Employee Interest-Free Housing Loan Program”. Any employee who has worked for more than one year, has a supervisor or higher level, or has excellent annual performance can apply for an interest-free loan of between 60,000 and 400,000.
This benefit is the best way to retain people-the company will deduct a certain amount from the salary of borrowed employees every month as repayment. If you resign, you need to return the remaining part in full.
I used this method to keep Lao Yu. He worked in our campus for 6 years. After becoming a clerk as the project leader, he bought a house with a down payment of 600,000 yuan through an interest-free loan, of which 300,000 yuan was loaned to him by the company.
Lao Yu’s monthly salary of 2,000 yuan will be automatically deducted to repay the loan.
Last year, Lao Yu wanted to leave because of a bottleneck at work. In the past six years in the company, Lao Yu has changed several positions and it is already difficult to find new incentives, but I don’t want Lao Yu’s departure to affect our assessment indicators.
I tried to play the “emotional card” for Lao Yu, talking about the time spent fighting together and the company’s attention to him, but he has decided to go.
At this time, the interest-free housing loan helped me a lot. I asked the finances to find out that Lao Yu still has more than 200,000 yuan to be repaid, ifHe resigns and needs to be settled all at once.
Lao Yu’s child is just over one year old, and his wife takes care of the baby full-time at home. There are places where money is used everywhere, and it is definitely not enough.
In a later negotiation, I directly had a showdown with Lao Yu and asked him to repay the loan. Unexpectedly, Lao Yu only reads the SMS reminder of his salary every month. He had forgotten that he had bought a house with a loan before, and he did not know that he still owed the company more than 200,000 yuan.
After all, his monthly salary income is 14,700, and the proportion of 2,000 yuan is too small. This money was deducted without any pain, but it allowed employees to silently sign a “deed of sale” for the company for more than ten years.
Lao Yu was very surprised by the “suddenly appearing” debt of more than 200,000. Seeing him walk out of the office grimace, I breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, Lao Yu did not mention leaving the job.
As a manager, I solved the problem of turnover rate indicators, retained talents, and fulfilled my responsibility as a manager; but on the other hand, I looked selfish and hateful, unable to help subordinates solve problems, and still suffered from his wounds. Sprinkle the salt…
