The director with an annual salary of 2 million was fired, not because you were expensive, but because of you...

The salary of professional managers can never be proportional to the value they create. When the speed of creating value by professional managers is reduced, they will face the risk of being eliminated; when the salary of professional managers is greater than the value they create, it is estimated that they will be dismissed long ago. Therefore, professional managers are fired, not because they are expensive, but because of diminishing self-created value and other reasons.

A few days ago, Lao Wang saw that some media were discussing the reason for the dismissal of the director with an annual salary of 2 million. He thought that the director was too expensive, so he was dismissed, which made a lot of sense. However, based on Mr. Wang's many years of headhunting experience and his observations on the workplace, Mr. Wang believes that professional managers with an annual salary of 2 million were fired because:

The director with an annual salary of 2 million was fired, not because you were expensive, but because of you...

1. The speed of continuous value creation is decreasing, and the self-value is decreasing, which leads to being replaced at any time. A leading listed company poached a top professional manager Mr. W from other top domestic companies with an annual salary of nearly 2 million through headhunting. In the first year of Mr. W's entry, he was very affirmed and supported by the boss. However, at the end of the second year of work, after Mr. W's department team was formed and operated stably, the company's executives found that the value created by Mr. W was declining. At the same time, he also found that Mr. W was currently The job can be completely replaced by the current deputy director of the department. Finally, through negotiation, the company paid part of the compensation and let him resign.

Why was Mr. W fired by the company at the end of the second year? Lao Wang believes that after professional managers change jobs, the general law of value is that the value basically reaches the extreme in the middle of the second year, and then the value begins to decrease, and the rate of decrease is very fast. Just like a few days ago, when Lao Wang chatted with a professional manager with an annual salary of 2.6 million, he said that a person's value is basically hollowed out or "squeezed out" by the company within 3 years, and after 3 years, the value of very small. Once the value of a professional manager decreases, it means that you can be replaced by others at any time, so you will face being fired or not renewing your labor contract. This is another reason why professional managers need high salaries.

2. The ability to actively learn and innovate is reduced, which leads to being surpassed by subordinates or other young people, and finally becomes a person who "the back waves beat the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach". A few days ago, several workplace friends asked Lao Wang for consultation. Through in-depth communication and exchanges, Lao Wang found that they were very concerned about the site where they cultivated themselves, but they did not understand the social development trend and status quo. Just like a professional elite who has worked in the banking system for many years, they are very familiar with banking business, but do not know much about Internet finance and blockchain, especially how blockchain is applied in the financial industry. What’s worse is that they don’t even know that blockchain can still be applied in the financial industry. This proves a problem. Many elites in the workplace are "concentrating on researching" the content of their own fields, and they are old scalpers who "keep their heads down and pull carts", but they ignore their own understanding of reality and lack the thinking and habit of "looking up at the road". , and in the end, was far surpassed by others without knowing it. It's like when instant noodle companies are still engaged in an industry civil war, but they don't know that they have been defeated by takeout. The more serious problem is that if you lose, you don't know who is defeated, let alone find an opponent. Just like the ETC at the high-speed toll station, it was very good in the past few years, thinking that it could monopolize it. Now I find that I have been beaten to death by Alipay and WeChat Pay. The same is true in the workplace. If you don't study and progress, you won't know who will be defeated in the end.

Also, I saw the information of an AI interview robot yesterday. It can conduct a 1-on-1 interview with you through your voice, speech rate, face-scanning technology and corresponding big data, etc., and finally give you an accurate interview. judgment. Although this technology is not yet fully mature, if this technology is fully mature, will recruiters and headhunters be replaced by such AI robots? You should know the answer better than Lao Wang, but you don't want to face reality. Just like gangsters, they are very clear in their hearts and recognize them very much, but they just don’t want or dare to face the reality, and they insist on scolding you on the Internet to show their sense of self-existence.

Yesterday, Lao Wang chatted with a friend of a foreign-funded enterprise. He said that he would update his resume almost every two years in order to understand his market price. If he encounters an opportunity to double his salary, he will boldly change jobs. . He said he had doubled his salary three times in a row. Therefore, in the workplace, don't just lower your head to pull a car, but forget to look up at the road.

3. Political struggles in the office are also the reasons for leaving or being fired. When it comes to office politics, it is a life-and-death struggle for favor and interests, but in the end, the fisherman profited.

According to Pharaoh's understanding, many companies now have serious struggles between teams and small groups, and finally escalated to individual struggles. The political struggles in the workplace are not at the lower levels, but at the top level, causing many people in the company to stand in line. Because you don't stand in line, you will be pushed out by others.

Pharaoh knew a professional manager with a very positive three views, but because of his own three views, he was finally pushed out by another person in the company. Professional managers with relatively positive views are generally thinking about problems in the interests of the company and how to do things. And those working people who love to fight and have bad views are thinking about how to win favor in front of the leaders, how to get their appreciation and how to make money from the company. This is the root of the political struggle in the office. Therefore, your dismissal with an annual salary of 2 million may also have something to do with the political struggle in the office, and it has nothing to do with how expensive you are. Lao Wang wants to say that if you can create a lot of value for the company, even if you are 50 years old and earn an annual salary of 5 million, the boss will not fire you.

Now that we know the problem, how should professionals solve the problem? Pharaoh's solution is as follows:

1. Maintain a learning and humble attitude, often in-depth study and in-depth thinking, and can't be left behind. The so-called deep learning and deep thinking are based on your social practice and cognition, as well as your theoretical level of cultivation. If you lack social practice, social cognition and theoretical level, your deep thinking and deep learning will become cranky.

2. Don't be an old ox that pulls a cart with your head down, and don't be a frog at the bottom of a well. You should learn from giraffes, often look up at the sky, and look for better fruits.

3. People in the workplace will reduce political struggles in the office, but you must learn to protect yourself, otherwise you will be a ladder for others to climb up. As an old workplace driver said a few days ago, he said that the workplace is a place where you step on the shoulders of others and keep moving forward. Therefore, if you don’t want to be a ladder for others to ascend, you must learn to protect yourself and reduce the risk of being used as a ladder by others.
