When I used to work in a company, I had a colleague whose phone always vibrated during work. I asked her what was wrong? Do you contact your boyfriend very frequently every day?

She said, it’s nothing, very mysterious.

But later, her supervisor saw her chatting on her mobile phone while solving customer problems. Looking at the content of the chat, it turned out that buyers on Taobao were inquiring about her products. It turned out that she was a Taobao seller. .

Later she was fired because the company banned side jobs!

But before, I read an article written by a chief editor in a magazine, saying that one of his employees was selling donkey meat for fire after get off work, and the business was very good, so I asked him why he didn't quit his job and just start doing it. The employee replied that they make money now to repay the loan, and after the loan is repaid, they can go to work safely.

That’s quite true. Because I am already very tired at work, I still work on the side job when I get off work. Is it either because of the pressure of life or because I really love it, but how many of them are really passionate about it? Isn't it all about making more money and making yourself live a better life?

Speaking of that colleague, her order volume was not small. After she was fired, we all thought she was focusing on Taobao. Who knew that she went to the mobile company to work as customer service, but she was still the one doing Taobao. side business.

There are very few people in the circle of friends now who are not engaged in micro-business. My former classmates and friends who added me as friends are either getting married or doing micro-business. They all have serious jobs, and some are civil servants. But, they just feel that they need to earn more. Only one amount of money is enough to meet one's material needs. So, do you think what this society forces people to do?

I used to work in a movie theater for a period of time, and the basic salary was too low. I also had a side job, selling flower pots on AliExpress, and earning some US dollars. Every month I There are a lot of orders, and the profit is very considerable. Basically, I earn 3,000 yuan a month from selling flower pots, but my salary in the movie theater is only more than 2,000 yuan. At that time, I had an idea that I would make my own web page better and bigger, and then make money from business to support my family steadily, without having to stand in the movie theater every day, which is so hard.

Just after I resigned, AliExpress began to reform, that is, small sellers no longer have the authority. They must be large sellers registered with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to sell things on AliExpress, and they must have their own I have to pay an annual fee for my trademark, and various restrictions have restricted me. I suddenly went from a monthly income of 5,000 to a monthly income of 0. I no longer have a job in a movie theater and no income from my website. It was a double blow all at once, and it really made me breathless.

So, a side job is a side job after all, and there are too many unstable factors. Even if its profits are higher than your current job, you can't give up your current job blindly, because the plan can't keep up with changes.

Just purple.
