I have worked hard, why is the salary so low?
Hard work will not necessarily lead to high wages, and if you don't work hard, you will certainly not get it.
I often see many young people complaining that they have worked very hard, working overtime and even taking charge of the company, but they still do not get the attention of the company, their salary has not been raised, and they have no status in the company. I feel very confused and do not know what to do. In fact, this is all his personal subjective feeling. He should look at problems objectively and look for problems from himself. And who said that hard work must equal success? Effort is only one of the necessary conditions for success, and it is hard to say whether it is "real effort". Let's take a look at the reasons for this problem based on the actual work situation.
First of all, salary is defined by the value you can bring to the company as a person
The essence of the workplace is the exchange of interests. As much value as you can create, you can sit as high as you can, and you can get as much salary and bonus. Can assembly line workers and company CEOs create the same value? Generally speaking, when you enter the company, your value is defined, that is, how much the work you do is worth, no matter how hard you work, you are just doing your own essential work well, and the chance of a premium is very small, and the boss also thinks that It is a matter of course for you to do well. If you do not do well, it is your dereliction of duty. In this case, the possibility of a substantial increase in wages is very small. How to solve it? My suggestion is to do more valuable work close to the core business on the premise of doing your job well. Let's look at a case
When Xiao K first joined the company, he was just an engineer, responsible for the debugging and maintenance of the assembly line production equipment. He has been doing it for three years and is very good. The machine downtime he is responsible for has never exceeded half an hour, and he tried his best to ensure the smooth operation of production. ;In the fourth year of entering the company, Xiao K was appointed as the team leader of an emergency project with the impression of being down-to-earth and hardworking in the hearts of the leaders. He led a group of colleagues in the customer's tight delivery time, some materials were short of material, and many production equipment was not available. In the unfavorable situation in place, the samples required by the customer were handed over within 2 months with guaranteed quality and quantity. Even though he was engaged in equipment before, in fact, in the past three years, while doing his own job, Xiao K also helped other colleagues to do some things within his power, especially the work that is close to the core business, including project management and Production and operation, so the opportunity is for those who are prepared. This sentence is true. Xiao K successfully completed the urgent task with his excellent ability. heard).
Therefore, those who are capable work harder, and those who work harder get more rewards. Today, many people still think that this sentence is wrong, that is, they do not understand the true meaning of this sentence and the way to implement it. If they want to get high Wages have to create corresponding value for the company.

Second, fake effort
Are your efforts real or acting? Can it produce valuable results? Is the boss willing to pay for it? Only you know these things best in your own heart. Some people like to use tactical diligence to cover up their strategic laziness. They don't work much during the day, and they work overtime every day to show their tiredness to their bosses. This kind of superficial "effort" can't produce any credit. To create value for the company, the boss is not a fool, of course the salary is low.
I remember a popular joke a few years ago, some people like to get off work overtime when everyone is off work, work overtime at their own company, pose in various poses to take pictures of hard work, select scenes and angles, it is estimated that it will take more than an hour, and then send them to the circle of friends Waiting for the boss to like it, for such people, I can only say that it is a pity not to be an actor, and I will give them the lyrics "I will hide and ignore the one who should cooperate with your performance".

Third, really hard work, there are two situations
I work really hard, but the value of my work is low. This point returns to the first point, which is still a matter of personal value. No matter how hard the cleaners work, they can only create so little value. It is impossible for the cleaners to get large orders from customers through hard work. I suggest that in this case, you need to consider changing jobs or changing industries. Don’t let your efforts go to waste. Time also has a cost.
If you work hard, the job can create a certain value, but the working method is not correct, resulting in low output and low quality. For example, the product manager of the Internet does not analyze customer needs in depth, and urges the programmer to change the plan every day. At this time, his value is not as good as an excellent operation. The work method without output is destined to have no good results. Consider optimizing the work method appropriately. , to learn to work smart.
If you use the right method, you will get twice the result with half the effort; if the method is wrong, you will get twice the result with half the effort. I have seen a clerk in the production department before. She looks like a very quiet girl. One of her main jobs is to enter various production reports, such as efficiency, output and personnel work performance. The production employee got off work at 8:30. She is still working, because overtime work is calculated as overtime pay, so the personnel department focused on her for a while, and then asked someone to come over to understand the situation, and found that the reports she entered were all manual. way, excel functions and formulas will not work, which is typically incorrect.

Fourth, the old scalper
At work, they only bury their heads in work, do not look up at the road, do the results themselves, but do not express them in front of the boss, and even make the boss mistakenly think that it is the achievements of others; obscure work, rarely reject other colleagues The job requirements are old scalpers and good people. Some people even know that there is such a person in the company after they leave the company. In fact, it may create value, but the boss doesn't see it. The low salary caused by this reason is very sad. I don’t dare to fight for it myself, for fear of offending my boss and leaders. I think my boss can see everything I do, and I disdain to behave like a “villain”, but I don’t know that the boss is also a human. Pay attention to people who have made achievements and cry and make trouble. They have a low sense of presence and can't get into the boss's sight. The value created is completely meaningless. It reflects that the salary has always been low. This is normal. It's your job to do it. The boss will do the same, don't say "sit and talk without back pain".
I have worked hard, why is the salary so low?
Therefore, there are many reasons for low wages. Don't complain blindly. This will not help solve the problem. You should take a look at the reasons analyzed above in combination with the actual situation at work. For us ordinary people, the only way to get a high salary is to strive to improve our abilities, make ourselves more and more valuable, and create greater value for the company and society. Finally, remember that there is a price to get anything. , If you want to get a high salary, you have to pay some prices, such as time freedom or family harmony and physical health, you can make your own judgments and decisions.
