Ma Yun said that "in the future, 1,000 talents who have worked in Ali for more than 10 years will be exported to the society every year." At the age of 35, those who do well are already high-level corporate executives or become their own bosses, while those who do well are on the verge of layoffs, and even the "golden rice bowl" cannot be guaranteed.

Lao Yao has worked in a state-owned company in the county town for ten years. At the beginning, he came in through family connections and thought it would be easy to retire. Who would have known that the state-owned enterprise was restructured and he was laid off as an unemployed person at the age of 35. The useless person who has been boiled into "to be judged", the reason why he said this is because he ignored these three points:

Continue to output value and become a person with core values

Not everyone over the age of 35 will be eliminated. The company's layoffs are based on value, not age. Newcomers who have no value will also be eliminated. The reason why 35-year-olds are more likely to be eliminated is that while the value output is weak, it is difficult to make breakthroughs in growth. The value output will only get lower and lower, and newcomers still have the possibility of development. If you don’t want to be laid off by the company, you must ensure your ability to continue to output value, and be stronger than newcomers. After all, old employees are often not cheap and can be easily replaced.

If possible, try to get the company's core business or important projects, and try to make yourself the core person in the team. Another important value is to help the company or leaders solve problems, problems in the team, management problems, or resource problems, so that the leader can feel that he needs us, and naturally it will not be easily eliminated.

Maintain enthusiasm for work and seek new challenges

Many 35-year-olds have begun to pursue a stable life and work status. They like to stay in their comfort zone and make a living at work. They are accustomed to using past work experience to solve problems, and throwing problems beyond their ability to others to face new work challenges. More perfunctory responses, shrinking and escaping, leaving a bunch of bad work problems, but self-confidence as an old employee, contributing to the company, and hard work without credit. Not to mention leaders, even newcomers in the workplace can't get used to these old employees. Once the company lays off employees, there is absolutely no escape.

35-year-olds should remain enthusiastic about their work, don’t give up the pursuit of career development, it’s nothing to be frustrated at the moment, if you are really tired of the work content, take the initiative to contact new jobs, don’t just do your own handy work, take the initiative to seek new ones. We need to increase the pressure on ourselves appropriately, and there will be breakthroughs in order to achieve growth, so that leaders can see our progress and enthusiasm in work, which is no worse than that of newcomers.

Persist in learning, absorb new knowledge, and become an expert in the field

When people reach middle age, it is easy to lose their patience in learning, they no longer absorb new knowledge, and they cannot keep up with the updates of the times and the development of industries, especially new industries, technology industries and Internet industries. Staying in the company will only hold you back. The most important role of persevering in learning is to continue to further study in one's major, and to have a skill, not to mention becoming an expert in the field, at least in professional technology or knowledge, to beat newcomers, but as long as you become a top expert in a certain skill or ability, that is a scarce talent, Not to mention that the company does not dare to lay you off, even if you quit your job at the age of 40 and go out to find a job, there are plenty of opportunities.

Some people get bored when it comes to studying, and they really can’t read books. There are also many ways to study, such as communicating with people in the industry, participating in training courses, studying online, attending salons, and observing other people’s successful experiences. Everyone can find a suitable one. Your own way of learning, as long as you pay attention.
