Hey, all the veterans and novices in the workplace, today let's talk about a topic that makes many people headache and confused - the sudden retention of the boss when he resigns.
You know, this retention, sometimes, is not a "charcoal in the snow", but may be a "sweet trap" in the workplace. Don't worry, let me take my time.
That day, I walked into my boss's office with my resignation letter in hand. As soon as I spoke, the boss quickly intercepted me: "Xiao Wang, why do you suddenly want to leave?" Our company treats us so well, and the relationship between colleagues is harmonious, why do you bother? ”
I was shocked, this is not a trick for me! But I still have to be tough: "Boss, in fact, I want to seek better development opportunities." ”
The boss sighed and said, "Xiao Wang, you are a talented person, and the company has high hopes for you." I'll give you another chance to think about it. ”
I laughed in my heart, this boss is really good at talking. But on the surface, I still maintained a polite smile: "Thank you boss, I will seriously consider it." ”
You see, how warm this reservation sounds! But after a closer analysis, is there something wrong?
First of all, the boss's sudden retention may be because he is short of people, and you happen to be the "suitable" person. He was afraid that as soon as you left, his work would be messed up, so he hurriedly left you behind.
Secondly, the boss may feel that you are gone, which is a loss for him. He retains you, not only to retain talents, but also to save his own face.
Finally, don't forget that the workplace is like a battlefield, and the retention of the boss is often accompanied by a "quid pro quo". He may offer various conditions to keep you going, such as a raise, a promotion, or even more responsibilities.
So, the next time you're retained by your boss, ask yourself: Do I really want to stay, or am I being confused by this "sweet trap"?
Don't worry, let me give you a tip. When you are retained, you can thank your boss for your kindness and then speak your mind. For example: "Boss, I'm grateful for your retention, but I've already decided on my next step." I believe that wherever I go, I will work hard to create value for the company. ”
In this way, it does not hurt the boss's face, but also keeps a clear head.
Remember, the workplace is not a fairy tale, and the boss's retention is not necessarily out of sincerity. Sometimes, they are just defending their own interests. Therefore, it is the best policy to see the situation clearly and respond rationally.
In closing, I would like to say that whether you choose to stay or leave, be firm in your beliefs. After all, only you are your strongest backing.
So, the next time you encounter a "sweet trap" in the workplace, don't panic, smile and take it in stride. Because life is a journey of sweetness and bitterness, and we want to find our own happiness in this journey.
