先輩営業マンの無い物ねだりがすごいです。
ワタシと先輩は別々の事業所で仕事してるのですが、外部作業で度々一緒になることがあります。その際行き帰り一緒の電車を使うのですが、その時『お前は普段工場だから楽でいいよなぁ～。俺なんか新規で営業行って得意先に挨拶してお前が作った品物の見積りと配送組んでおまけに部長の面倒まで見なくちゃいけない。どっかに〇〇の知識もあって営業も出来るバリバリの若手いないかなぁ～。』なんて大声で話します。
最初は黙って聞いてましたが、次第に苦痛になってきまして…
あまりにも苦痛で『トイレに行きたい』と言って途中で降りて一本後の電車で帰ることもありました。
対応としては間違っているとは思いますがその時の自分にはこの策しか思い付かなかったです。
このまま黙って聞いてるべきなのでしょうか？
職場で、同僚や先輩の愚痴を聞くことは、多くの人が経験することです。特に、移動中などの限られた時間で、延々と続く愚痴は、聞いている側にとって大きなストレスとなり、心身に悪影響を及ぼす可能性もあります。今回の相談者は、先輩営業マンの「無い物ねだり」とも言える愚痴に苦痛を感じ、対応に困っています。この状況を乗り越え、自身のキャリアをより良いものにするためには、どのように考え、行動すれば良いのでしょうか？
1. 現状の分析：なぜ先輩の愚痴が苦痛なのか？
まずは、なぜ先輩の愚痴があなたにとって苦痛なのか、その原因を具体的に分析してみましょう。原因を特定することで、適切な対策を立てることができます。
- 共感性の問題: 相手の状況に共感できない、または共感する余裕がない場合、話を聞くことが苦痛に感じることがあります。先輩の抱える問題が、あなた自身の問題と関連性が薄い場合、特にそう感じやすいでしょう。
- 時間的・精神的負担: 愚痴を聞くことは、時間的にも精神的にも負担がかかります。自分の仕事に集中したい時や、疲れている時には、特に負担に感じやすいでしょう。
- 人間関係への懸念: 相手との関係を悪化させたくないという思いから、強く反論できず、結果的にストレスを溜め込んでしまうことがあります。
- 自己肯定感の低下: 愚痴の内容によっては、自分の能力や仕事に対する自信を揺るがされ、自己肯定感が低下することがあります。
- 将来への不安: 先輩の愚痴を聞くことで、将来の自分の姿を重ねてしまい、不安を感じることがあります。
これらの原因を特定するために、以下のチェックリストを活用して自己分析を行いましょう。
2. 自己分析チェックリスト：あなたの「苦痛」の原因を探る
