Workplace: Understand these three points in advance, you won't be in vain for ten years
After graduating and entering the workplace, each of us will have this illusion to some extent: I will work hard, become a supervisor in three years, become a manager in five years, and be promoted to partner seven or eight years after graduation, or go out and work alone. But the actual situation is that 80% of people have not made any progress in three years, and have not received any promotion in five or six years. .
You have also dreamed big, and you have worked hard regardless of personal gain or loss. In the end, I got nothing.
Society will always follow the rule of 28, and people will work the same way every year. How can you be the same every ten years?
- Don't do jobs that are too substitutable ===========================================
For example, operators of foreign trade companies and export documents. No professional knowledge is required, only a little knowledge of English is required, and an old employee who has worked for three years will be trained.
This kind of work still needs to support a person for 10 years?
In 2006, the basic salary for this job was 800 yuan, and now the basic salary is 2,000 yuan, which increases by 200-400 yuan every year with the length of service. But for this position, it seems that the entire island city is not higher than 5,000 yuan (unless you are a relative of the boss, or you have a skill, such as long beautiful legs)
If you are unfortunate, you will do such a job and wait until HR finds you and says, "The company has been down recently, sorry for you"
Don't cry, "I have worked for ten years, and I have no credit, but also hard work, no hard work, but also hard work."
I'm sorry, the workplace doesn't believe in tears, and complaining can't return sympathy.
The boss is always driven by interests first, and it depends on how much value you can create. If you want an annual income of 300,000+, the premise is that you first create 30 million+ income.
You say, in the car, is the engine worth the money or the screws?
You are a screw, if you choose, someone else can replace you in minutes. No way, marginalized jobs are just that.
Are there any benefits to this type of work? Of course, it is easy, and the responsibility is small. As long as you are still a responsible person, you generally won't make trouble.
But this works:
No. 1 can't get fast promotion
Second, don't think about personal growth
Some time ago, a post from a Huawei engineer was swiped all over the major public accounts. A father of two children in his 30s worked hard and faced middle-aged unemployment. There are a few words that I am very impressed with:
> > "We are in a big company, we feel good about ourselves and have a broad vision, but when we communicate with others, it is obviously very different. In a small company, even if we are not executives, we understand basic products from front to back, software and hardware. , the structure can do anything, but we can only be good at one part of ourselves. To really let us make a product requires a lot of configuration assistance, and a small company can’t support such a complex gameplay as us.” >
> > I am a screw in Huawei, when I leave Huawei I can only screw >
Simply put, your level is not good enough. HR feels that it is useless and can give way.
The reason why I am particularly touched is because I have never worked in a company as powerful as Huawei. On the contrary, I have worked in a small company all the way. The characteristic of a small company is that one person is used for five people, and you can go wherever there is a shortage of people. In a small company, your biggest gain is that you can look at the entire operation of a company. You are not a bystander, you are a real participant.
It is time for the graduation season again, and a large number of graduates will flood into the talent market. The biggest social contribution of Chinese private enterprises is to solve 80% of the employed population. Therefore, if you also enter a small business, don’t give up on yourself, learn to observe, concentrate on cultivation, guard against arrogance and impetuousness, and you will eventually look forward to another village.
> > 2. There is no big picture at work >
To give you a position, from a micro perspective, it requires you to do your job well.
From a macro perspective, you need to improve yourself through your own work.
To be honest, if you only think of your job as a job to support your family, then basically don’t think about any progress, and it’s fine if you don’t make mistakes.
Ordinary people have this feeling: Monday is the most painful day, extremely dark, why? Because you really only think of work as work. Salary is what your job is for.
In fact, the meaning of work to you is not only that, but more importantly, it can improve your character, your mind, and slowly polish your from an ordinary person to a shining person. This is salary can't give you.
For an individual, work can prove your worth in the world.
As long as there are people who have great success in their careers, which one is not a dog who works overtime and is a workaholic? You say that they are all for money, of course, but why do people have a bigger picture than you in this matter?
A young person in the workplace quickly grows into a great person. Behind it must be hard work day by day, and his inner dream is to look forward to becoming a better self.
Think about it, you take work as "I will do as much work as you pay me", while others say "Work is the way to hone me, and I can grow into an extraordinary person". Such a gap, with time, will always turn into a huge gap that cannot be bridged.
Even if you are just a screw, you can have the heart of an engine.
- Personality determines workplace destiny ===========================================
Some people with good business level have been unknown for many years. Most of these people are kind, don't fight for it, and have a strange mentality: the boss will see what I do for him. In fact, the boss can really see how much you have done. But sometimes, there are errors, such as:
You are following up with a grumpy client who makes unreasonable demands and you need to ask your boss. But for some reason, the boss is so busy that you don't dare to rush in to find him. Suddenly the client can't wait for the volcano to erupt and a call lands on the boss's phone. The boss's first feeling is definitely not "I'm too busy and didn't give Xiao Wang a chance to ask me" but "Xiao Wang, you can't tell the priority from the second, I'm so busy, you still want me to pick up customers. complaint".
Then your previous conscientious work has basically been greatly discounted in this small matter.
In the boss's mind, you can't tell the difference between priorities, you don't know how to deal with customers, and you really know what you're doing?
Although this is a small probability, but just to let the boss see it, can it be your turn to be promoted and raised?
Sometimes, there are some words and some things you know you should say and do, but at that moment you are cowardly. The so-called character determines fate.
Everyone may have their own reasons to choose to do something or not to do it. However, if you have entered the workplace and hope to achieve results that match your efforts, when you are not sure, please stick to the following Thinking: Work is work. Everything is result oriented.
Imagine yourself as the boss, what would you do? Empathizing with situations may help you avoid situations that shouldn't have gone wrong.
Finally, the mentality of "the boss will see what I do" must be abandoned. Don't be an unknown bee, you must know that he is busy. It is too naive to imagine that "the boss's eyes are so bright that he can see through the inner show of a person who only works hard."
How much work you have done must still be known by the boss. When you need to express yourself, don't be too silent, and don't be the person who has no sense of existence. It's not disgusting to let your boss know you and your abilities, so why don't you do it?
