What kind of jobs are suitable for 'Buddha' youths?
We often say that the workplace is a place for teamwork, but collaboration does not mean compromise.
In the process of collaboration, there will be both cooperation and competition, and there will be repeated confirmations by two or more parties about their respective responsibilities, boundaries, and interactive content.
This is not an easy process, so I can say with a clear attitude: the following so-called "Buddha" style is not suitable for the workplace.

Perhaps for newcomers who have just entered the workplace, students who have been taught to "unity and fraternity" since childhood, because they are afraid of conflict (PS: not to say that there is no need for unity and fraternity), they are actively or passively Buddhist.
For example, during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, @weihaoyou sister's Weibo received such a question:
Does the workplace have to be wolfish? I'm just a "Buddha" youth who doesn't like earning or robbing. Is there any job recommendation for me?
What kind of jobs are suitable for "Buddha" youths?
The experience of doing career counseling all the time tells me that the key to this problem is not the dispute between "Buddha" or "Wolf", but that the girl must have encountered some setbacks in her work.
So, I asked her further: Why do you ask that? In your work, where do you appear to be more "Buddhist"?
Only by focusing on specific problems can solutions be found. Follow this line of thinking. The girl also opened the chat box:
For example, when a leader asks at a meeting who does this?
I kind of want to do it in my heart, but I never take the initiative to stand up. I feel that leaders seem to prefer people who take the initiative to stand up. But let me take the initiative to take the initiative, it would be better to kill me.
For another example, the company launched a performance PK activity, I really don't understand, why should it be PK? Originally not PK is also working. Because of this performance PK activity, everyone is on guard against each other, and the original very good colleagues have become strange. I went to ask my colleagues with good performance, but they didn't teach me very much. I felt that everyone's eyes were only focused on the performance data, which was very boring.
I remember when I was an intern in the summer vacation, I was selling cosmetics part-time in the supermarket. The sister in charge asked the four of us to choose a team leader, but I didn’t take the initiative. Later, the girl who became the team leader asked me to take care of the inventory. I didn’t like it very much, but I didn’t. decline.
In the end, she concluded:
It’s not that I don’t have ideas, but I’m just afraid of earning money from others. Nowadays, Buddhist youths are popular. I feel that I am properly Buddhist. If I don’t change, I will insist on continuing the Buddhist tradition. Will my career still develop? Is there a job for someone like me?

>>> For the reply of Sister Haoyou
It can be seen from the above dialogue that "Buddha" is just a label that the girl put on herself. The current problem is not to find a job suitable for "Buddhist" youth, but to find out whether the workplace is suitable for Buddhism, and whether you are really Buddhist?
First, the essence of the workplace is collaboration, and collaboration requires a stand.
Entering the workplace, from our personal point of view, may be regarded as a "cultivation". When you are invited to join a workplace, your core and basic value lies in fulfilling the responsibilities that you should undertake in the upper, lower, left and right chains.
This responsibility usually includes: you support and cooperate with the other party; you test and require the other party; even, you supervise and review the other party.
Even if you are the last "small role", in order to be responsible for the next link, you must require your previous link to complete his responsibilities on time, in quality and quantity.
For example, if the previous link cannot be completed, so that you cannot deliver the work on time, do you need to negotiate with the person from the previous link? If you make unreasonable demands on you in the next session, do you want to clarify the responsibilities of both parties with the other party again?
Obviously, as a link in the whole process, people in any position in the workplace need to bear the pressure. At this time, the so-called "Buddhist system" of "no competition and no grab" will not make you more comfortable, but will make your living space smaller and more difficult to carry out work.
Not only your own job, but in the entire workplace, adhering to the "Buddhist system" will make you more and more passive at work and more and more aggrieved emotionally.
For example, on the Internet, I saw a video like this -
When the boss is staring at the Buddhist employees, the Buddhist employees are even more afraid to leave work, even if it is 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock; even if you are just boring typing, deleting words, and doing work just like.

At the same time, the passive nature of the Buddhist system will also make you a priority for layoffs, as well as a priority for assignments that are not valuable but troublesome.
I know a boy whose boss is my friend. This boy never took the initiative to lead tasks, never took the initiative to speak his mind, and never dared to say no when the leader assigned a job.
Therefore, for 5 years, the salary has not increased, and the work content is the same as the fresh graduate.
It should be noted that higher requirements such as "promotion and salary increase" have not been involved here. Just from the primary task of adapting to the workplace, Buddhism is not suitable.
Second, the superficial "Buddhism" is probably due to fear.
From this friend's speech, the subtext I saw was: I am afraid to participate in any positive PK, comparison and display, so let me be a little transparent in the corner.
This superficial tranquility always makes me "smell" a sense of despair - because of fear, I simply give up and hide in my "hole".
However, Mr. Lu Xun said: Despair is vain, just like hope.
Therefore, I think there is no truly hopeless person in the world, there is always hope in the heart.
As I said at the beginning of the article, it is normal to be afraid when you just entered the workplace. We found that many people who claim to be Buddhists also have career expectations in their hearts, hoping to be recognized by everyone, to make achievements, and even to be successful. with recognition.
These are basic human needs, and it will be more comfortable to admit these needs, and denying these needs will only make you more awkward.
Finally, what should the "Buddhist youth" do?
Having said so much, it’s not that I don’t like Buddhist youth. Many times, the Buddhist youths I know - adhere to the principle of obedience while being cautious, and insist on working and delivering tasks in silence, without provoking right and wrong, and not complaining.
Therefore, young Buddhists are hundreds of times better than employees who cheat and cheat. Therefore, I firmly believe that behind every Buddhist youth, there is a stable and strong soul, but it is still wrapped in layers.
So, my advice is-
Don't label yourself as "Buddha", and then refer to various "Buddhist" standard practices on the Internet to restrain yourself. Online complaints about Buddhism are becoming more and more depressing.
Adhere to the bottom line of being a person and doing things. It is very possible that there are behaviors that you disdain in the workplace, such as the "villain behaviors" we mentioned earlier, such as double-sidedness, stepping down and raising up, etc. Of course, these can be insisted on not doing or not following, there is no need to completely change your essence in order to mix in the workplace. .
Learn the skills of active communication. Buddhist youths are likely to be talkative, but more often they are in front of acquaintances. In the face of leaders, customers, and competitors, active communication is the first step we must take. Once we have the first step, we are not afraid of the second step.
Don't be afraid of competition. Competition, like cooperation, exists in all aspects of our work and life. It is like air and cannot be avoided. So, you have to believe in a sentence, it is called the brave who meets the narrow road wins, why let yourself be cowardly before you fight?
In short, I believe that if the Buddhist youths take the initiative, then the world will be unfavorable.
