The real reason why the elderly in the workplace are no longer 'valuable' can really only be blamed on others.
In the workplace, we often see a phenomenon that many companies are willing to spend high salaries to recruit new people, but they are also unwilling to keep some low-paid old employees working in the unit. What is going on? The so-called "old dog can't learn new tricks". In many cases, the old people of the company have served in the company for many years and become the company's "old dough sticks". The "old dough sticks" mentioned here are actually rendered by the corporate culture, and there will be the following drawbacks of thinking.
- Laziness
Many old employees were full of ambition and inspiration when they first joined the company, but in the process of work, due to various inherent work styles and attitudes of the company, or the limitations of the leaders themselves, their enthusiasm and limitations were gradually suppressed. With the use of imagination, it gradually became a stick to the rules. Even if there was a new idea that I wanted to try, I would think, "Forget it, the company will not accept this kind of cooperation anyway..."
- Lazy thinking
Old employees who have been in the company for many years, under the protection of the enterprise platform, advance rhythmically according to certain rules, forming a certain inertia of thinking, and gradually lose the rapid response to social development and industry changes; employees have no sense of crisis and are unwilling to take the initiative. I want to improve my ability through study. I feel that I have stayed in the company for so long. I am familiar with various business processes of the company. The value is slowly decreasing!
- Sect limitations
Most companies have differences of factions, which is reflected in their attitude towards doing things, and it is easy to treat people wrong. Not only is it not conducive to the development of the company's internal atmosphere, but it will also drag the company's hind legs at some times.
An enterprise is like a big dye vat. The process of employees adapting to the enterprise environment is to gradually smooth out their edges and corners and dye them into the colors that the enterprise or leaders like. They are relatively smooth in their work style and thinking logic, which is in line with a certain tonality of the enterprise. The sense of accepting new things and independent innovation has become insensitive.
When the company needs to change and the ship needs to turn, many old employees have become accustomed to the original comfortable and comfortable way of working, and they will feel deeply uncomfortable and even painful. It is easy to fail to keep up with the rhythm and lead to abandonment. , it will definitely be measured from the perspective that is conducive to the long-term development of the company and the company's cost. Facing a new employee with strong plasticity is undoubtedly more valuable than giving an old employee a salary increase, because the new employee has a great drive and a strong desire for knowledge; In order to gain a foothold in the company, a new employee who has just entered the company must constantly improve his ability through learning. That kind of drive and fighting spirit is something that most old employees cannot give, and it will also create more opportunities for the company. The expected value, so the boss chooses so, it is really helpless!
