Go your own way, I don't care if others have their own way - Be an exquisite workplace egoist
The workplace is a river and lake. Everyone pursues their own interests. They should spend their time and energy on the cutting edge. Don’t do things with low cost performance. I asked, is it not good to be kind to others in the workplace and to help each other? Have to be so selfish?
My more than ten years of workplace experience has taught me that only when a person considers his own interests first, can he possibly consider the interests of others, which means that if you want to help others, you have to be yourself first. It is a very simple truth. If you can't even reflect your own worth, do others need your help? In the workplace, you can not harm others, but you must be selfish. If you are not good to yourself, can you be good to others? Can people who cannot effectively fight for and maintain their own interests make great contributions to the company? Usually, companies don't give promotions to such people. Therefore, in the workplace, being an exquisite egoist is worthy of our pursuit!

First, refuse to be a good person
What do we call those who do not know how to reject others at work? That's right, they are good people who only do their job in a down-to-earth way and don't listen to anything outside the window. Moreover, people like them usually do some low-value, high-repetitive and alternative things. Work, of course, for these kinds of people, everyone likes, why? Because he doesn't know how to reject other people's demands, whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, the result is often that his own work progress is delayed. Not bad?
Therefore, the first rule of egoists is to refuse to be a good person. Your precious time must be used for high-value work, such as project progress that your boss cares about, project reports that you have to submit on weekends, etc. This is how you reflect your own value. And the right way to get a promotion and a raise! As for some people's work help requests, they can be postponed or rejected outright. People are good at being bullied. For some villains in the workplace, as long as you promise the first time, there will be a steady stream of troubles. At this time, don’t be embarrassed, he is embarrassed to mention it, why are you embarrassed to refuse? This is not his job in the first place, doing it is a love, not doing it is a duty, you don't have to give face at all, just refuse him directly, be tough, and naturally you will not come to harass you in the future.
The label of a good man comes with the attribute of a loser. We want to be a smart person, and we must do everything based on our own interests. The boss and manager can direct you to do anything, even if it has nothing to do with your own work, because this is a work mode, do Well, we can add points! But if someone at the same level asks you to help with things, you have to think and analyze it. What are the benefits of doing it, and what are the risks of not doing it? Even if the benefits obviously outweigh the disadvantages, don’t promise him directly, just delay it. , let him see that you spent your precious time doing this, and it was done with great difficulty. In this way, while you reap the benefits, you can also gain his respect and maximize the benefits!

Second, actively compete for limited resources
A company's resources are limited, and the cake is so small. How much you can get depends on your ability. The workplace is actually a competitive relationship. Salary is a resource, position is also a resource, and power is a scarce resource. Don’t think that these resources are waiting for you, waiting for you to make outstanding achievements in your work. When the time comes, it will automatically belong to you. These are all things that need to be actively fought for. Just like the college entrance examination in the 1990s, thousands of troops crossed a single-plank bridge. After passing, you will get the educational resources of the university. If you fail to pass, you will fail.
The same is true in the workplace. The higher you go, the fewer jobs you get. Promotions are all about a few people or even a dozen people competing for a position. The same is true for salary increases. Cut the cake according to a predetermined percentage. The more you have, the less. A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. For their own development, they have to fight and snatch, go their own way, and let others have nowhere to go!
I met a former colleague who was a quality engineer at a previous company and this guy is a typical example! He has been in the company for 3 years, and the quality department colleagues around him have changed one after another. He is still "persistent" and everyone hates him. It is better to leave first when he leaves, because he is very good at pleasing the quality department manager. The business trip training in the department is all given to him for indicators, and even the relevant quality standard documents are the first-hand learning materials for him. He also deliberately blocks information, and the manager's information can only be conveyed through him. I always feel that this is a real talent, and he has truly achieved "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will die"! When I left, he was finally promoted to the head of the quality department. See, this is the real ending in the workplace. In fairy tales, people are deceived, and "wicked people" have good rewards!

Third, actively market yourself to management and bosses
Jiuxiang is also afraid of the deep alleys. The boss is usually very busy. He wants to seize every opportunity to express himself in front of them and leave a good impression on them. Why do so many actors compete for the Spring Festival Gala at the end of the year? Familiarity is the same as selling yourself in front of your boss. These days, if you have the ability, you have to show it for everyone to see. Usually at work, you have to lower your head to pull the car and look up at the road, otherwise you will be like Huang Zhong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, waiting until he is in his 60s before being discovered by Liu Bei When I came out, the most golden professional period of my life was buried like this, which is a pity.
In front of the boss, you also need to talk about skills. The boss is very short on time, and the expression should be concise and comprehensive, try to speak with data and results, and come up with solutions to problems. If you have the impression that you are the first to think of similar work in the future, this is a success! In addition, you have to pay attention that you don’t need to belittle others when you raise yourself. This is not about kindness and kindness. You have to fight when you need to fight, but the more you go to the top, the more disgusted you are with this kind of thing, and it’s enough to express yourself well.

Fourth, make full use of company resources to build a personal brand
When a person does things in the company, he serves the company, and at the same time, he is growing as an individual. He must learn to use the company's resources to serve himself and continuously improve his comprehensive ability. The company has a lot of industry professional resources, it depends on whether you can use them. The first is training resources, such as industry professional training/advanced materials/job training, etc. These are resources of a public nature, and everyone has the opportunity to use them. Then there are some scarce resources, such as industry exhibitions/off-site professional training provided by the company/foreign headquarters business trips, and even opportunities for face-to-face experience transfer by leaders. These resources need to be fought for, not everyone can Enjoyed it, what should I do? Still have to fight, there may be only one chance!
Once you get it, you must make good use of these resources to build your personal brand and influence in the company. What is a personal brand? Personal brand is the positioning and value of you in the company. For example, if you make yourself an expert in product development, then once the company encounters this problem, everyone will think of you for the first time. This is your personal brand! Is it difficult to do? It is difficult, even if you have the resources, you have to take root in the industry and accumulate experience or customer contacts, especially in technical and sales work. However, as long as you are on the right track, the rewards will be plentiful. At that time, you will become famous not only in the company you serve, but also in the entire industry. At that time, you will not be looking for a job, but the job will look for you.
It is difficult to build a personal brand only by personal ability. Only by relying on the company's platform resources and taking appropriate methods, what if someone blocks you from obtaining resources? Cutting someone's future is like killing one's parents, getting rid of him or suppressing him, so that he can't fight with you!
