I have worked in a company for 7 years. I have climbed from a basic engineer to a current department management position. The hardships and hardships are hard to describe. Fortunately, the results are not bad, and I have been promoted smoothly. Those who work hard like me My friends, a lot of people have paid, but they didn't get the same results as me. I have to say it's a pity, but this is the reality! The workplace is a pyramid. The higher the road, the narrower it is, and the higher the gold content and the skills required for senior positions.

No matter how big or small a company is, the resources in it are limited, and senior positions are also a kind of resources. After satisfying the basic conditions, we can let go of the competition. When I was working at the grassroots level, I felt that the manager position was my profession. The end of my career seemed so far away at the time, and there was indeed a gap in my own abilities; when I was in charge, the gap narrowed, and I felt that the managerial position was no longer so high, although it was not within reach. , but not so far away anymore; when I actually took on the managerial role, I felt that my vision was too small. This is to prove an old saying in the workplace, the position under the body determines our way of thinking. For the same person, the position is different, and the scenery is also different. Many times it is not that your ability is not in place, but that you are not. Seize the opportunity, as long as you seize the opportunity and work hard and take the initiative to fight for it, if you win this position, you will avoid many detours in your career and life development. Zhang Ailing said that it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, why? Because if you wait until everything is ready and the water comes naturally, if you passively wait for promotion, you may have reached the age where you can retire. In reality, how many opportunities do you think there are?

The road to the workplace is like sailing against the current without advancing or retreating. What belongs to us must not be given up easily.

Take me as an example, I have been working in this company for 7 years, from the grassroots to the department manager, I can proudly say that everything I have obtained is basically what I have worked hard for, of course, superiors and colleagues Your support is also essential. After all, being in the workplace is just being in the world. If you take care of the interests of others, others will take care of you. There was only one passive wait during this period, that is, I was promoted from engineer to senior engineer. At that time, a group of people was promoted within the company, and I was among them. It was a big pot of rice; but from the back, the positions of supervisor and manager were all made by me. One shot took the initiative to win.

First, let’s talk about the supervisor position, which is an internal competition. There are about 30 people in this department, including me, but there are only three people who are qualified to compete. Anyone who has experience knows that who can go up, the decision is in the hands of the department manager. He said you can do it or not. , Say you can't do it, you can't do it, it's that simple! Therefore, identifying the core of the problem, building a good relationship with the leaders, and adding my own outstanding strength, this is just a matter of course! Why can't the other two compete with me? Look at the first person, A, he is also an old employee. He has a better relationship with the department manager than me, because they are all locals, and they have the same voice, but their abilities are not as good as mine, and they are not as good as me. You know me During New Years and festivals, the bacon sausages brought from my hometown are indispensable for the manager. The second person, B, although he has strong ability, has a stubborn temper. Sometimes he doesn't even obey the manager's arrangements. Could he be promoted? For the sake of ability, it's not bad if he didn't fire him...

Second, look at the manager position, which is not only internal, but also involves external competition. In 2017, the department manager at that time was promoted and needed a person to take over. At that time, there were 2 supervisors in the department, including me, and the management was also considering recruiting new people from the outside. Therefore, at this time, I not only needed to work with I have to try my best to convince the management to hire me first when I compete with people of the same level internally. Internally, I am not very worried, because I have won the support of most of my colleagues in my usual work. His foundation Not as good as me, not as good at work as me, what can you use to compete with me?

I first found the outgoing department manager and had a good talk with him. He promised to recommend me to the management. After all, the superiors and subordinates have cooperated for many years and understood each other. Thanks for his support! Second, I invited the HR manager to dinner in private, and I also expressed my thoughts euphemistically, asking him to understand and support him. He smiled and said that he could help me, and it has been a pleasure to work together in the past few years. Finally, I actively participated in our CEO's favorite badminton game. In fact, I usually participate in it, but I have become more active during this time. Basically, if he goes, I will go. Why, because the decision of who to hire is in his hands. inside! Although this is a foreigner, I still managed to attract his attention. In the workplace, apart from customs, the gap between China and the West is really not very big, at least in some aspects it is common...

The result was pleasant. In the end, everyone in the company agreed that I could replace the previous manager, and I first hung up the name of an acting manager. After three months, I became a regular manager. Someone asked me if I was tired? Tired of course, but it's worth it, right?
