加薪談判出了問(wèn)題？遭遇職場(chǎng)政治？周日恐懼癥？（是的，這種焦慮是存在的。）如果你遇到上述任何一個(gè)問(wèn)題，別擔(dān)心，至少并非只有你遇到了這些問(wèn)題。

領(lǐng)英的新調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，以下是美國(guó)雇員當(dāng)前所面臨的排名前十的挑戰(zhàn)。

前十大挑戰(zhàn)如下：

1. 平衡工作與生活（38%）

2.?管理工作負(fù)荷（31%）

3. 同事交往（26%）

4. 職場(chǎng)政治（25%）

5. 與上司打交道（23%）

6. 職業(yè)發(fā)展（22%）

7. 工作熱情（19%）

8.? 找不到能幫助自己的人（16%）

9. 公平薪酬和薪資談判（15%）

10. 回復(fù)所有的郵件（13%）

除上述問(wèn)題外，領(lǐng)英發(fā)現(xiàn)最為普遍的一個(gè)問(wèn)題是，這些雇員，特別是職場(chǎng)中的年輕雇員，在工作當(dāng)中尋求幫助時(shí)會(huì)遇到很大的困難，有的是因?yàn)橛X(jué)得這是一件丟人的事情，或者不希望被他人瞧不起。約84%的受調(diào)職業(yè)人士表示，他們?cè)诠ぷ髦锌傆行枰獛椭臅r(shí)候。當(dāng)然，由于年輕雇員成長(zhǎng)的空間更大，需要學(xué)習(xí)的東西更多，因此千禧一代（85%）和Z世代（96后）（96%）需要幫助的比例更高一些。（作為參考，Pew Research將千禧一代定義為1981-1996年之間出生的人，之后就是Z世代（96后））

然而，三分之一的雇員（35%）承認(rèn)他們害怕在工作當(dāng)中尋求幫助，而且高達(dá)60%的雇員后悔當(dāng)初沒(méi)有尋求幫助。這種焦慮可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致加班，隨之而來(lái)的疲勞也會(huì)導(dǎo)致生產(chǎn)效率降低。至少三分之一的受調(diào)職業(yè)人士稱(chēng)，他們寧愿每周加班6個(gè)小時(shí)，而不是尋求幫助，因?yàn)檫@樣會(huì)顯得自己沒(méi)有能力或沒(méi)有見(jiàn)識(shí)。

因這類(lèi)恐懼心理而陷入困境（不管是出于自身想法還是在特定工作場(chǎng)所中出現(xiàn)的真實(shí)威脅）會(huì)對(duì)工作之外的生活和職業(yè)未來(lái)帶來(lái)不良影響。

近些年來(lái)，一些描述這一現(xiàn)象的新詞進(jìn)入了人們的視野，例如“周日恐懼癥”，通常用于描述人們?cè)谥苋胀砩希簿褪切碌墓ぷ髦荛_(kāi)始之前（以及與之相關(guān)的周一早上）所出現(xiàn)的焦慮。大約80%的專(zhuān)業(yè)人士稱(chēng)自己有“周日恐懼癥”，而這一比例在千禧一代和Z世代中更高，分別達(dá)到了91%和94%。

從長(zhǎng)期來(lái)看，職場(chǎng)中不僅存在“錯(cuò)失恐懼癥”，還存在“更優(yōu)選擇恐懼癥”。可能部分原因是因?yàn)楹ε伦兓ɑ蛏踔梁ε玛P(guān)注新事物），68%的受調(diào)對(duì)象哀嘆稱(chēng)，外面有更好的工作機(jī)會(huì)，但他們卻沒(méi)有去尋找，或通過(guò)努力來(lái)走出這一步。“更優(yōu)選擇恐懼癥”的誘因包括在公司供職時(shí)間過(guò)長(zhǎng)，正在與公司協(xié)商薪資，以及遭遇工作之外的重大變故。

盡管上述內(nèi)容可能聽(tīng)起來(lái)十分慘淡凄涼，作為專(zhuān)注于就業(yè)和職業(yè)發(fā)展的專(zhuān)業(yè)社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)領(lǐng)英給出了一些建議，希望借此讓上述數(shù)字得到改觀。

領(lǐng)英職業(yè)發(fā)展專(zhuān)家布萊爾·迪森布瑞勒建議，將秋季看作是職場(chǎng)雇員回歸學(xué)校的季節(jié)，一個(gè)充電、重新開(kāi)始和設(shè)立新目標(biāo)的時(shí)期。這是因?yàn)椋I(lǐng)英的調(diào)查顯示，12月是職場(chǎng)人士工作最為忙碌的月份。因此我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，56%的人會(huì)在假日季開(kāi)始之前便逐步地向積極的生活方式轉(zhuǎn)變，69%的人士稱(chēng)秋季所進(jìn)行的小幅轉(zhuǎn)變比新年決心更容易實(shí)現(xiàn)。

迪森布瑞勒還強(qiáng)調(diào)，如需要，人們應(yīng)在工作中尋求幫助。他指出，很大一部分雇員（43%）認(rèn)為其職業(yè)的發(fā)展得益于尋求幫助。這一點(diǎn)說(shuō)起來(lái)容易，做起來(lái)難，尤其是考慮到之前提到的諸多問(wèn)題，以及雇員所面臨的前十大挑戰(zhàn)。

但雇員并不一定得通過(guò)其老板或同事獲得幫助。例如，領(lǐng)英發(fā)現(xiàn)在尋找新工作機(jī)會(huì)或工作時(shí)，約40%的求職者最有可能尋求家人（40%）的幫助，年輕雇員（35%的Z世代）尤為依賴(lài)于在線社區(qū)。

此次調(diào)查由The Harris Poll代表領(lǐng)英于2018年8月8日至-22日開(kāi)展，基于18歲以上的1017名雇員的反饋，這些雇員在美國(guó)從事全職、兼職或個(gè)體工作。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Problems with salary negotiations? Workplace politics? Sunday scaries? (Yes, the struggle is real.) If any of these things are a problem for you, don’t worry—at least in the sense that you’re not alone.

These are among the top 10 challenges that employees in the United States are facing right now, based on new research from LinkedIn.

Here’s a look at the top 10 list:

1.Finding a work-life balance (38%)

2.Managing workloads (31%)

3.Dealing with coworkers (26%)

4.Workplace politics (25%)

5.Dealing with managers (23%)

6.Growing their careers (22%)

7.Being passionate about what they do (19%)

8.Not having somebody to turn to for help (16%)

9.Equal pay and negotiating salaries (15%)

10.Answering all of their emails (13%)

Beyond just this snapshot, one of the common themes among LinkedIn’s findings is how much trouble employees—especially younger professionals in the workplace—have trouble asking for help at work, whether it be fear of feeling or looking incompetent. Approximately 84% of professionals surveyed said they have needed help at some point in their career. Naturally, as younger employees have more room to grown and more to learn, these results are a bit higher for Millennials (85%) and Generation Z (96%). (As a reference, Pew Research defines Millennials to be born between 1981 and 1996, thereafter followed by Generation Z.)

Yet one in three employees (35%) overall admitted they’re afraid to ask for help at work, and as much as 60% of employees regret not asking for help at those times. Such anxiety can result in overworking and possibly loss of productivity from exhaustion. At least a third of professionals surveyed said they’d rather work an extra six hours per week than ask for help in fear of looking weak or less knowledgable.

Getting bogged down by these fears (whether fabricated internally or justified by a real threat in a given workplace) can have repercussions over both life outside of work and the future of one’s career.

A few new terms have popped up in recent years to address some of these, starting with “Sunday scaries,” which is typically the anxiety one feels on a Sunday night before restarting the work week (and all that goes with it) the following Monday morning. Roughly 80% of professionals have admitted to experiencing the “Sunday scaries,” and those figures are much higher for Millennials and Gen Z at 91% and 94%, respectively.

In the long-term, there’s not just FOMO (“fear of missing out”) but also FOBO (“fear of better options“). Perhaps partly fear of change (or even fear of commitment to something new), 68% of respondents lamented feeling there might be better career options out there for them, but that they didn’t look for or try hard enough to make the jump. Some causes for FOBO include staying at a company for an extended number of years, dealing with salary negotiations, and experiencing major life moments outside of work.

While all of this might sound dreary and bleak, LinkedIn—being a professional social network dedicated to jobs and careers—is doling out some advice with hopes of changing these figures.

Blair Decembrele, a career expert at LinkedIn, suggests looking at the fall as a sort of back-to-school season for workplace employees as well, a time to refresh, start over, and set new goals. This is because, according to LinkedIn research, December is the month professionals feel most overwhelmed at work. Thus, 56% of people have been found to make smaller positive lifestyle changes before the holiday season begins, and 69% of them said small adjustments made in the fall are easier to achieve than New Year’s resolutions.

Decembrele also stresses asking for help at work when needed, citing that the majority of professionals (43%) have attributed growing their careers to asking for assistance. This can be easier said than done, of course, especially when taking some of the aforementioned issues and top 10 list of workplace challenges into consideration.

But employees don’t only have to look to their bosses or colleagues for help. When it comes to looking for a new opportunity or job, for example, LinkedIn says about 40% of job seekers are most likely to reach out to family (40%), and younger employees (35% of Gen Z) especially rely on online communities.

Conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of LinkedIn between August 8 and 22, 2018, the survey results are based upon responses from 1,017 employees age 18 and over who are employed full-time, part-time, or self-employed across the United States.
