Dry goods | How to judge whether the leaders really value you, or think you are "cheap and easy to use"?
Figure|Strategy of Yanxi Palace
I am a newbie who just graduated this year.
We are an advertising and public relations company. In Hangzhou, my salary is only 4,000 yuan a month, which is relatively low compared to my classmates.
The reason why I came here is because I felt that during the interview, the leaders talked very well, they liked the temperament and style of the other party, and they served big customers.
In addition, this month, the leaders always took me with them and said that they would focus on cultivating me.
I was quite happy, but a colleague whispered to me—

Is that so? Later, she also told me that other colleagues in the same position were paid more than me. After listening to it, I felt very uncomfortable. I wondered if the leaders really thought I was cheap.

Dear @workplace novice girl, thank you for your trust, especially this is a very typical question, and thank you for contributing a good question!
But, taking a closer look, there are two problems here:

First of all, to answer the question you are most concerned about - how to judge whether the leadership really values you, or is trying to take advantage of you?
If a leader attaches great importance to a subordinate, then he will hope that the other party will grow rapidly. The core point is to provide support and guidance, and to provide resources and opportunities.
However, the specific forms of expression will vary widely: it may be to give you relevant materials and information in a persuasive manner and talk to you, or it may be critical to you and point out your problems at any time; it may be to actively introduce important leaders and leaders. The client knows you, or it may arrange a lot of work for you, so that you have to work overtime to complete the work and so on.
For example, when the big boss first started work, the boss of the company arranged for her to do translations for important meetings, take her to talk to publishers about book publishing, and take her to do important interviews. These are not her scope of work. .
Moreover, the boss often talks with her, such as sharing the company's future plans, sharing his experiences of the year, and asking her for her opinions and experiences.
These signals all indicated that the boss wanted to reuse her, and as expected, she was soon sent to Tianshui, Gansu to be the person in charge of the project site.
No matter what the specific form is, in the process, you can exercise your abilities, expand your horizons, get in touch with different tasks, link to different customers, etc., all of which are your own gains.
Therefore, judging from your description, at least your leader has given you a chance. From this perspective, it is a reliable judgment to say that he values you.
So, will it be the same as what your colleague said, that you are cheap and easy to use? very possible! After all, you have just graduated, you have no practical experience, and you have no social resources. To put it bluntly: cheap and easy to use are your core advantages.
About this, don't be too glass-hearted, just like a sentence said by Du Lala in "Du Lala's Promotion": Being used by the leader shows that I have the value of use.

The second question is particularly interesting - how to listen to the advice of colleagues around you?
This is a problem often encountered by newcomers in the workplace. Because they are children who have just entered the workplace, many old employees will want to give you "guidance" for various reasons, so they have a lot of advice.
For Haoyou sister, I don't want to promote conspiracy theories. These advices seem rather sad, but they are likely to be true. Just like what happened to @job novice girl, it is not ruled out that her boss just thinks that she is cheap and easy to use. As a result, although she paid a lot, she did not necessarily get a promotion or a raise.
Therefore, it has to be said that it is difficult to judge whether the boss really values you or not. It is easier for us to judge what we value.
For example, @Workplace novice girl mentioned - "the company's work likes, leadership style likes, service customers are big customers" are these important to you? From the perspective of your own career planning, are these plus points for the future?
At the end of the article, a special reminder to everyone is: Of course, you cannot ignore the "suggestions from colleagues", especially the suggestions that are deviated from our personal cognition. It is better to use this opportunity to "stop for a while and think about it" and let the Our actions and goals remain in the same direction.
Bless you, whether it is the "sweet words" of your boss or the mourning culture of your colleagues, it will not affect your ability to think independently, look at the present from the perspective of personal career development, and make the most suitable judgment for you.
