The so-called office snacks are simply snacks brought to the company or unit by office workers in the cubicle of the office building for occasional recreation at work. It's also called "drawer snack". Old c thinks it's more artistic-you can't put a bunch of snacks on the office counter, can you? ! Another meaning of "office snacks" is to define those snacks that are suitable for eating in the office.
But should we eat snacks in the office? Does your company openly allow employees to eat snacks in the office? Or is it forbidden? Or sneaking around like a thief? Or did you get the tacit approval of the company and eat it calmly and easily? ..................................................................................................................................................................................
Old c has seen some companies issue notices prohibiting employees from eating snacks and breakfast in the company. The topic is generally a notice of a company about prohibiting snacks and breakfast in the office. The reasons are basically the same-affecting work efficiency, environmental sanitation and company image, and the punishment methods are basically the same-the fines vary from 20 yuan-180 yuan 10 yuan.
At first glance, there is nothing unreasonable about such notices or regulations, and from the perspective of laws and regulations, there is no suspicion of violating laws and regulations. It is also reasonable from the perspective of so-called company management. But the problem is that it is almost cruel for snack lovers, especially girls, to prohibit employees from bringing fruit and drinks into the office, just like a company in Shenzhen and other individual enterprises.
In fact, it is a tradition for employees to bring snacks to the company every day. I remember that when Lao C first started to work in the late 1980s, his sisters or brothers in the office often brought one or two cucumbers or one or two tomatoes or one or two apples or one or two peaches or a handful of jujubes to the office, or washed them at 10: 00 in the morning and shared them with friends, or served them as appetizers at noon.
For prohibiting employees from eating snacks or even fruits in the office, Lao C can't agree, because in my opinion, no enterprise has ever died because employees eat snacks in the office. If it goes out of business, it is also because the decision-makers have no commercial reputation, partner strange bedfellows, the products can't adapt to the market, the management system is chaotic, the finance is chaotic, and the dedication without effective incentives leads to the frequent loss of excellent employees.
At present, many companies adopt a tacit attitude towards snacks in employees' offices, and even some companies are completely open to it. In this regard, the old C is recognized-instead of effectively suppressing employees' sneaking around, it is better to effectively acquiesce to let employees be happy.
First of all, from a physiological point of view, office workers tend to feel hungry from 10 am to 1 1 pm or from 3 pm to 4 pm. At this time, some non-dinner snacks are needed to supplement them properly, which will alleviate the anxiety and make the follow-up work more efficient.
Secondly, for copywriting, planning, advertising, online sales, teachers, foreign trade, sales and other professional positions. Sharing snacks with colleagues at an appropriate time in class will help to enliven the working atmosphere and may lead to many good ideas and plans! The reason is that snacks themselves have pleasant attributes, and people can improve their work efficiency in a pleasant state.
Third, it involves corporate culture. A good corporate culture is not a slogan on the wall or hundreds of rules and regulations or an inch-thick employee handbook, but a way of doing things based on the same values that senior managers and employees, enterprises and customers can hear. The most important directional indicator in corporate culture is employees' sense of belonging and identity with the enterprise. Old c doesn't mean that employees who eat snacks have a sense of identity, but that punishment is doomed to fail to produce an effective sense of identity.
In fact, adopting a default or open attitude towards office snacks also tests the wisdom of managers and employees-for companies, it is necessary to embody the art of management, and for employees, it is necessary to embody the art of the workplace.
But do you really eat snacks in the office? Everything must be measured, and the company's acquiescence is limited. Accordingly, the behavior of employees should also be measured. If they are unscrupulous and eat and drink in the company every day, they will be regarded as an outing, and the chances of promotion and salary increase are slim. The future is lost for this snack, but it's not worth it.
There are some very important precautions when dealing with office snacks.
First, seize the time and don't eat snacks all the time in the afternoon. One is bad for the body, and the other is immoral for the senses. As mentioned above, it is best to come at ten o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the afternoon.
Second, you can choose the right time. When our group or small team has achieved phased results on a certain issue, we can take out snacks and share an active atmosphere with several people.
Third, as the saying goes, eyes should be able to vent-when eating snacks, turn a blind eye to the leader standing in front of you and take care of him. Unless you took a bullet for him in a previous life, he will be friendly to you as always.
Fourth, don't bring inappropriate snacks to the office: for example, sticky, oily, slag-prone, noisy, overflowing with juice and soup ... not only affects others, but also causes indecent opinions and health problems. Among them, melon seeds and watermelons are the most harmful, and there are even pickled chicken feet. What do you think of the night market? Do you want a bottle of beer? Of course, I believe no one will bring half a durian to eat.
Lao C thinks that the most suitable office snacks are those products that are both pleasant and nutritious but not too noisy, such as dates, fruits, dried meat, freeze-dried fruit and vegetable strips, nuts without peeling, and baked snacks that can be put in one bite. These, for girls who love snacks, don't worry about getting fat.
But one thing, the company forbids eating breakfast in the office, and old C thinks it is absolutely necessary. Because the plan of the day lies in the morning, it is very important for companies, departments or employees to have a sense of ceremony every morning-to gather the spirit of going to work, including punching in, changing tooling, cleaning, and arranging work for early meetings. If comrades eat and drink in the office half an hour after work, a good-tempered boss or manager will not tolerate it. You can't do this job without some hard work. Try to solve breakfast outside the company, and don't complain that the company "doesn't give" breakfast time.
It is true that being able to work in a company with a teahouse and afternoon refreshments should be the yearning of many young people in the workplace, which is also one of the cultural symbols of a company's taste. However, the workplace is also a kind of practice and practice, and a good environment and free refreshments are reserved for those who care.
