It's normal to think that the workplace is unfair, but childish behavior is bad.
It's real gold. It definitely glows.
I hate writing work-related chicken soup, but it happened right around me, so I have to spit it out.
my colleague is one of the parties, but our unit is the partner of this group of young people.
this group of young people have done what you, me and he probably did when they first entered the workplace: strike together in order to improve their treatment.
they are very United and do affect the work of their colleagues. In those days, her colleagues were responsible for updating the official account, and she had to do all the layout, upload video and audio, and push it to Jinri Toutiao, a little information and other platforms.
both migrant workers, in fact, my colleagues and I hope that the working group formed by this group of young people can achieve their own goals. But based on the experience of several workplace veterans, the prospects they face are not optimistic. That night, I sent a private message to a child of the working group who had a good personal acquaintance with me, saying that it was not too late for you to quit the strike and that this was your first job and should be cherished.
she replied:
"I don't believe that no one is working, and the leader can't realize the importance here. Moreover, I am betraying everyone by quitting now. "
the end of the strike is as we expected.
Do you want to buy the flattering midi cocktail dresses with sleeves and help bring out the charm in your figure? Buy now to enjoy and experience the happy shopping.
the entire working group was dismissed, six people lost their jobs collectively, and it is said that as the party at fault in the labor service, they are likely to receive no compensation.
Young people have no idea what's going on behind this. And we, as partners, although we know, do not have the obligation, let alone the authority to tell them all this: their big boss, with our leaders, have some cooperation, our leaders help their big boss to achieve tens of millions of dollars a year, not to mention, there are some political benefits, you know.
they won't know. It was only a few hours after they went on strike. When our leaders got the news, there was only one sentence: change partners.
they will not know that the second-in-command of their company, upon receiving our reply, immediately drove to my colleague, a small official account operator, nodding and bowing, just to keep the cooperation project.
they will not know that their big boss made numerous phone calls in the early hours of the morning just to apologize to our leaders and ensure strict management of their subordinates.
I don't know if young people would still make this decision to strike if they had complete information. However, for them, this work experience has changed from "gaining work experience" to "learning work lessons".
1. Be sure to find out: are you irreplaceable?
the child who communicated with me privately was born in 1994. This is her first job. "I don't believe that no one is working anymore, and the leaders still don't realize the importance of this place." She is right, but she does not fully understand the true meaning of this: the "importance" of
position is not equal to your personal "importance".
through the strike, the leader can only realize that there can be no mistakes in this job, but it will not be the same as that he will keep you in this job!
if your "core competence" is a purely technical job that someone else can do, then no matter how long you work, you will be replaced instantly. When you make a disgruntled voice and make a decision not to work, when your boss weighs between "keeping you" and "doing something else", and suddenly finds that the costs are similar, or even the latter is lower, when the boss finds that you don't even have the "core competence" of "loyalty", which requires the least technology.
how useful can your resistance be?
2. Be sure to find out: is the platform you are in irreplaceable?
this group of young people will never know how many companies line up every day to ask our leaders to cooperate with them. From industry leaders to new dark horses, we have never been short of partners. These partners, each of the strength, are randomly set aside a few hours of working time, can complete the task for us, and can ensure high quality.
some people may ask, why do you have to choose a small company where young people live?
it's very simple. Our leader described the company in only two words: obedient.
because you want something from me, you must be obedient.
obedient, or let's change the word, "loyalty" is the "core competence" that can be acquired instantly as long as you work hard and bow your head.
the technology is not as good as the people, the team is not as good as the people, and the market share is not as good as the people. If you can't even do the most basic "obedience"-- if you don't have the lowest-cost "core competitiveness", what is the value of this platform to customers? And what is the value of the disloyal employees of this platform to the platform itself?
if you let your platform lose its "core competitiveness", you can tell me: if you don't fire you, who will you fire?
3. Be sure to find out: what do you need most in your job?
first of all, it is "core competence".
some people are not very competent, but the boss just doesn't fire him because he is "loyal" and what the boss says is what he says. Some people, are workaholics, the quality of work is average, but every day overtime until late at night, love and dedication. There are others.
take my colleague as an example. During the strike of the working group, she said that it was okay for Wechat to give her the backstage production, it just took a little time. The layout she "took the time" to make is even better than that of the working group. Not to mention that she is usually responsible for some of the work on the website and Weibo, and she herself is collecting, editing, and writing triathlons, from political comments to chicken soup for the soul, from historical stories to the analysis of social problems, and even boring press releases. There's nothing she can't take down.
she thought about quitting and freelance.But the leader didn't let her go and gave her a lot of money. She stayed later, thinking about the feelings she had worked with her leader for many years, because she really worked freelance and earned a lot more than she did here.
this is the most valuable "core competence"! Is creative, is oral or written communication skills, is organizational skills. The ability in these areas cannot be replaced by machines and pure manpower. I would like to say to young people that you should be scared, not lucky, when you meet such an all-around person in the workplace, even if it is just a partner, because you will be replaced by them at any time!
if you are good for nothing, at least, be loyal. Because no boss likes incompetent subordinates to work against them, and you have to survive in the city.
again, it is to find the correct "work goal" in the course of work.
sounds simple, but many people have been working for decades to fight for goals that are not right for them.
"work goal" is what you work for.
everyone's goals are different. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, "work goals" must be changing from survival to development. Every time you reach a level of work, be sure to recalibrate your work goals.
one of the six people on strike is their little leader. The worst decision he made, in my opinion, was not the strike itself, but that he didn't understand: when he was in this position, his goal would no longer be the same as when he was an ordinary employee-his correct goal should be how to help the boss manage personnel and work successfully.
someone may want to say again, then the boss is unscrupulous, how to deal with it?
then change places.
has "core competitiveness" and correct "work goals". Through practice again and again, you will find that the path you want to take will be clarified again and again, and you will find that this society can still give people room to develop their talents. If you don't think so, you can only say that you don't have enough practice.
is real gold and will definitely glow.
I am also a migrant worker, and I have taken many detours. In more than ten years of work experience, I gradually found my own goal, but also found my own way of survival.
I think people live a lifetime, walk in the world, when you want to do a career, even if you really want to do it, even if you pay a great price and endure great grievances, as long as you do not do things that are against the law and morality, you have an obligation and a need to achieve yourself.
there are many ways to achieve your own success. On the way, you will see that there are many unfair things, and there are many ways to deal with them.
but childish methods will never help you reach your destination.
