What you need to know in the workplace
Days without initiative,
like being strangled by the neck,
You can't escape, and you can't escape.
-Yang Ziling
Thinking about helping the company save money and letting leaders see your sense of responsibility?
Recently, a friend said that I am careful in everything I do in the company, and everything is considered for the company. Why are the leaders still not appreciative?
Friends who have just entered the workplace or have just changed jobs will always feel this way. With a new environment and a new identity, they must work hard and work hard. But after doing it for a period of time, I found that my efforts did not seem to attract the attention of the leaders, and they would even be regarded as superficial work with low efficiency. Let your blood quickly cool down and fight for yourself.
What you think is hard work is not necessarily what the leader thinks. You think that free overtime is a manifestation of hard work, but the leader may think that your efficiency is relatively low. So don't use your own perspective to speculate on other people's thoughts, otherwise you will be disappointed.
What you need to know in the workplace
You are the soldier with the iron-clad battalion and flowing water. What you should think about is how to quickly improve your skills and soft power, not the pride of swearing to coexist with the camp. In other words, the company can run without anyone, let alone a wage earner.
Don't feel like you're a genius. There are a lot of titles. It's useless to leave this company. You need to rely on your strength to get it again in a new environment. Therefore, in addition to the skills and abilities you have learned, you can take away some customer resources at most (running business, doing sales), and don't think about other things.
If you want to help the company, you must first help yourself. Help yourself to quickly learn skills, help yourself quickly familiarize yourself with the office process, and help the company solve problems quickly. The so-called saving money for the company is a matter of finance and human resources, not a career as a business classmate. Your responsibility is to quickly sign the company, maintain old customers, and develop new customers. Even if you spend more money in the process, as long as you can get customers. Your boss will think you are helping the company make money.
Therefore, you must make your boss feel that you are helping the company to make money instead of helping the company save money.
What you need to know in the workplace
Asked for a salary increase, but was told by the leader that he had no overall view
Most of these things happen in small companies. Because of the small number of employees in small companies, there are many employees, so there will always be a feeling in the hearts of employees that I have done a lot of work for the company, and the boss should give me a salary increase. achieve a psychological balance.
However, in fact, the boss is very sympathetic to you psychologically, but most of them will not meet your requirements. Instead, they will give you this answer: Now the company is in the development stage, I will see your efforts in my eyes and keep it in my heart. When the company develops well, it will not treat you badly. You need to have a big picture. Then various equity incentives, dividends, etc., the boss who said it can believe it himself.
Commonly known as painting flatbread. When I just graduated and came to Shanghai to look for a job, I encountered this situation many times. The company built an office in a similar residential building with less than 20 people in the company, and then asked the boss to say that we were once with Jack Ma. The "Eighteen Arhats" of entrepreneurship are the same. As long as you don't talk about money, you can do anything with the leader.
So I always advise my juniors and juniors to consider the first point of work: what can you learn in the company, whether the company is small or large, talk to the old employees more. Don't always listen to the boss to draw a big cake for you. If you can quickly improve yourself here, then stay and improve yourself. If you are very depressed about this, then don't worry about it, just walk away. Not to make you disloyal, but to make you true to your heart.
The second point: If the company thinks that they are similar, but the salary is quite different, then simply choose the higher salary. You have to believe this. If your boss dares to give you such a salary, most of the colleagues around you will not be worse than you. When you work with good people, you can be better yourself.
What you need to know in the workplace
To sum up: The company's work is not to help the company save money, but to try to make money for the company. If you feel that you should have been raised, but you have not waited for the notice of the raise. It is best not to talk to leaders about this, but to go to the recruitment market to see how much your abilities are worth. Take a day off and test the waters, if you always hit a wall when you go to an interview, or get abused. If it shows that you still need to work hard, then you can improve yourself steadily. If the effect is good, you will decisively ask the boss. Even if you don't give a salary increase, you will have the confidence to find the next one.
Don't talk about feelings with the company, just stay true to your heart.
