Where does the 'midlife crisis' come from?
In the eyes of many people, middle-aged people should be "owning a house, a car, a successful career, and being rich and beautiful." What is the crisis?
No, for some people, middle age is indeed a big crisis.
Midlife crises usually occur when:
- I have been working in a state-owned enterprise, never changed jobs, and was suddenly fired or resigned due to company changes.
- Technical post, but in a company that is in transition and has fast technology updates.
These two types of middle-aged people. Why?
The first category is that they have worked in state-owned enterprises for many years. Due to the comfortable working environment of state-owned enterprises, they have been derailed from the outside world for a long time. Under the conditions of "boiled frogs in warm water", they have learned less new skills. Once dismissed, as a middle-aged person, There is no outstanding ability and expertise, and it is not suitable for the system outside the state-owned enterprise, it is difficult to find a new job.
The second category is that technology is updated too fast. As a middle-aged person, although he has rich work experience, his learning ability is not as good as that of young people. When the enterprise is transformed, it will inevitably bring a difficult transition period due to incompatibility. , may be eliminated by young people and photographed on the beach by "back waves".
How to avoid a midlife crisis?
No matter what company you are in, you can't relax, always pay attention to social and industry trends, and try your best to find opportunities to learn some new knowledge related to work, in order to keep up with the pace and ensure that you will not be eliminated in the future.
Pay attention to accumulating summaries and precipitation at work, and constantly reflect on your work, so that when you reach middle age, the advantages of your "twenty years of work experience" will be reflected, and these decades of work experience will become " The barrier that the "little fresh meat" cannot break through. Of course, the premise is that you have been reflecting and improving in the past few decades, instead of mixing for decades. It is very risky to rely on the old to sell.
