Because you have a SLR, the company will call you as soon as it takes pictures. How can you refuse?

I really want to answer this question! I can tell my experience completely, absolutely true, without any modification.

I remember it was an activity for Party A's father. The company has a camera, Canon 700D, and the lens is 18-55. However, Party A's activities are relatively large, and they still last from afternoon to evening. I have thought about taking pictures casually with the company camera and taking them back to work.

As a result, the direct superior explained the matter and said by the way, "xx, you can take your own camera then." To tell the truth, I didn't reject it at first, but I thought it was good. After all, using your own things is more familiar and easier to use. But after this, it will be terrible. Bring your own when you have activities. There are many activities in the company, and then I simply put my camera in the company, which is similar to the public one.

I'm actually quite accommodating, and there's nothing wrong with letting the company. Until one time, I forgot to bring my camera home after work on Friday, and discussed with my friends to climb the mountain at the weekend. As a result, the company locked the door and could not get the camera. We agreed to take pictures of girls in the same trade, but we can't break our word. I was embarrassed to borrow someone else's camera, so I had to rent one from the store.

At this time, it occurred to me that I really shouldn't form this habit and put things in the company.

I'd better talk about my practice. I am not the kind of person who is very honest and frank. After that, I took the equipment back, hung up the idle fish, and then sent a circle of friends. I don't know if the boss saw it, but I rarely let me bring my camera after that.

It's really boring to film company activities. Many times, my camera is used to take pictures of my friends, and I have to invite people to take pictures myself. Company activities Pick up the camera and put it in the automatic file. Don't worry about anything, just send it to your colleagues. I don't want to postpone my usual photo shoot after that.

At that time, I got rid of the camera because I thought it would affect my weekend use, and because I wanted to buy a micro-order, I really wanted to get rid of the camera. So what I did was not refuse, I can only say that I happened to meet together.

If I really want to say no, I won't. I took my camera home. The boss said I wanted to use it, so I lent it to my friend, otherwise I didn't bring it. It's too heavy to take to work. There are many reasons, all of which are reasonable. Everyone is too proud to delve into it.

This kind of thing has really happened to me many times. I used to take a group photo with my unit, but now I basically refused. I even pretend not to play photography because I don't want to take pictures of people in my unit.

At first, I actively dried my photos and photographic equipment in my circle of friends. Later, my colleagues in the unit found that my photos were good and often asked me to take pictures or borrow my equipment.

Over time, the story that I can take pictures spread around the company. As long as I take pictures and retouch pictures, they all think of me. Every time the company takes photos, every time the group builds activities, I am named to take photos of them.

Having a younger brother for the first time and treating me as a free photographer every time made me feel disgusted. Some people even said that the photos I took were not as good as those he took with his mobile phone.

Later, I didn't want to take pictures of the company and began to make up various reasons to refuse. I lied to my colleagues in the company that my photographic equipment had been sold, and told them that I no longer played photography myself, and my circle of friends no longer published anything related to photography.

Now they ask me to take pictures. I basically mean that I have stopped taking pictures and sold my equipment, so they won't ask me to take pictures or borrow my photographic equipment.

In fact, I did sell photographic equipment, not to let people in the company ask me for help taking pictures. On the one hand, I sold my photographic equipment to my colleagues. On the other hand, I want to upgrade my photographic equipment.

If the company really doesn't want to take a photo with you, it must find a reasonable reason. Don't say that you don't play photography, and the result is to dry photos and equipment in a circle of friends. Even if you tell a lie, you should know how to make it up.

You Guo's point of view: My suggestion to the subject's question is to either directly politely refuse or create a "reasonable lie".

Perhaps most people will think that since they have convenient conditions, it is no big deal to help the company. There is no need to refuse such a trivial matter, which may lead to negative impressions such as meanness and affectation.

In fact, this idea is correct. I think the subject also has such concerns, which is why there is this question.

Since you have done it before, it is inevitable that some people who want to refuse will think you are hypocritical.

For example, just like drinking, if you don't drink at first, others won't feel much, but you have been drinking all the time, and this time you suddenly say no to drink at the wine table, others will think you are dishonest, or that you have no face or even have an opinion of you.

But from the perspective of the parties, it is human nature to help occasionally, but there is no obligation to always serve the company with your personal belongings.

But if you say why you refused, I personally have some experience. I think there are three reasons:

1. Trouble and no interest.

After all, most of them are used to take photos of activities in the company. As a photographer, it is inevitable to toss back and forth before and after running, and even choose films or even repair them after shooting. In fact, it is not as simple as taking a photo, otherwise there is no need to take a SLR.

More importantly, shooting these things may really not be my type. Without interest, there is no motivation. It's just a passive help, not to mention it may take up your own work time.

2. Cherish the equipment

For friends who like photography, nine times out of ten cherish the camera. The price of cameras ranges from thousands to tens of thousands. It's hard to avoid this person taking a look at the photos taken by the company. That man has a try, not to mention he doesn't know anything about SLR, and he still has a camera.

For those who don't play with cameras, it may be nothing, but for those who cherish cameras, sometimes they really mind, and I have a deep understanding, so when the company asks me for help taking pictures, I usually use relatively low-end machines, at least when I don't cherish the machines, I won't feel so uncomfortable. (This has nothing to do with the camera price, and the equipment side should understand. )

I don't feel well after work.

Although it is trivial to press the shutter a few times, it is nothing to spend some time repairing the film and helping the company. However, the way some leaders do things is really uncomfortable. Obviously, it is a guest help, which is simply "you should do it if you have a camera." This is really uncomfortable.

A group of friends from my photography team once met me. Every time the company has an activity and needs to take photos, the leader always feels like giving orders and says to him, "Xiao Zhang, take your camera to the activity site tomorrow, take some photos there and develop them later." Let's make a photo wall to show it. " ......

The leader may be unintentional, but I have to say that anyone who changes like this will not feel comfortable.

After sorting out several reasons, maybe everyone can understand why they refuse such a thing.

In the workplace, refusing other people's things, whether it is a well-deserved refusal or a helpless refusal, should be tactful. After all, "the waves are big, and no one knows what seafood will rush up." There is no need to cater to others deliberately, but you can't be reckless.

If it is inconvenient to say it directly, just politely refuse.

If the company often uses your camera, you can use reasons such as "lend it to others, or it will break down" to show that it is not convenient to take it.

Generally speaking, if the company wants to use it and you don't have your camera, the company will definitely think of other ways, so that when you want to use the camera in the future, you won't just think of looking for you, but have many choices.

In fact, we all know what it means, and we will not mention it easily in the future.

"Once and for all" means that it is sold or broken, but we should do a good job in the aftermath.

"Lying" is really helpless. Since you want to refuse and can't go straight, you can only tell lies, but remember to tell lies.

You can let others know in advance that "the camera is sold" or "broken" by chatting casually, so that when it comes to using it, others will be embarrassed to ask.

However, if you tell a lie, you have to tell it. Now that it has been "handled", you should also pay attention to hidden work when using it yourself.

Speaking of it, it's really helpless. You can't really sell the camera to refuse.

For such a thing, no one can stand on the moral high ground and accuse others of right and wrong. A lot of things fall on you, and you may feel embarrassed. Although the practice may not be absolutely correct, as an outsider, all you can do is make suggestions.

Such concerns are not unreasonable. There is no harm in thinking more in the workplace. It is better to be tactful and tacitly understood than to go straight and create unnecessary trouble.
