I accidentally browsed a great workplace post that has been followed by 17 million people: After working for ten years, what have you learned about the workplace?
I read more than 100 highly praised answers: some are about job opportunities; some are about getting along with leaders and colleagues; some are about battles with bosses; and some are about self-improvement.
In the big dye vat of society, the people and things we come into contact with every day are different. Under different appearances, everyone has different goals. So, what is true when it comes to relationships in the workplace? What is fake? What is essence? When it comes to work, should we work hard for promotion and salary increase? Or should we work hard to learn something?
Based on my many years of work experience, the author has summarized 3 things that I personally think professionals should know most about how to survive in the workplace.
01Whether your efforts are useful depends on the results
For many newcomers to the workplace, because they have just graduated from school and have little work experience, they will generally work hard as long as they are given a chance. However, after working for a period of time, this kind of effort does not bring much results to oneself. Therefore, one's enthusiasm will be dampened and one will fall into confusion.
Is there no point in working hard?
The answer is definitely no. So since hard work is useful, why is it that my hard work for a long time has no effect?
If you observe carefully, you will find that it is not that your efforts are useless, but that there is something wrong with the direction of your efforts. In order to pursue a "high-end" PPT, you may be trying to improve the wording of a report and struggle with a layout format, rather than focusing on the content of the PPT itself.
You know, there are always icings on the cake, but the content itself is the most important. We should spend more time on creativity, on finding materials for creativity, on content logical thinking, and on core strategies. These are where your efforts will really make a difference.
Because only if you work hard in the right place, you will get good results.
Only good results can prove that your efforts are in the right direction!
In the workplace, if you are only obsessed with details, resulting in low work efficiency and inability to output results, this is a typical case of putting the cart before the horse. On the other hand, using tactical diligence to cover up strategic laziness may seem like hard work, but it is meaningless for personal growth.
For the boss, all he really cares about is the results you produce.
Working hard honestly is the biggest pitfall in the workplace. Learning to think about the underlying logic and insisting that efforts be rewarded is a real win-win for companies and individuals.
02 Low profile ≠ valuable
To distinguish what is truly meaningful
This society always educates us: when we are walking among three people, we must always have a teacher, and we must keep a low profile in order to go further. This sentence seems to be extremely correct, but in fact it does mislead many people.
For working people, especially those who have just entered the workplace, or are changing jobs to enter a new industry, many people mistakenly think that helping to make a picture, make a watch, run errands to buy coffee, get takeout, or get express delivery is just a matter of helping. Be kind to others and make friends with them.
And when you work together, if you do something inefficiently or poorly, the other party will still accuse you of your fault in public and show no mercy to you. You may feel aggrieved. You are obviously good to others, so why are you being "set up against"?
In fact, this is because in the eyes of others, you are just a "post-it note girl" rather than a comrade who advances and retreats with everyone and "fights the BOSS" together.
In the workplace, professional ability is the key to your survival in the workplace. If you want to build a good relationship with your colleagues with a low profile, you can only maintain superficial harmony. If you want others to truly believe you, you have to rely on your true ability.
03There is no absolute fairness
Goals that can only be achieved through hard work
When it comes to fairness, the first thing I want to tell you is that there is no absolute fairness either in the workplace or in life. Fairness is only relative. Therefore, if you want to achieve your goals, don't pursue fairness too much.
We often hear complaints like this: "Why are the opportunities for further study given to him and not to me?" "Why don't I get as much year-end bonus as he does?" "We both have put a lot into this job, so why did he get promoted?" Have you got me?"
Questions like this must be familiar to everyone. In the workplace, there are always things that seem unfair, and there are always rules that you can't understand. When you encounter injustice, you always point fingers like an angry youth, but you fail to see the efforts of these people and the logic behind these things.
In fact, workplace life is a mental battle. Either you win or he wins. Ideal fairness simply does not exist. Because what is beneficial to you is unfair to others. Therefore, what you have to do is to integrate the resources in your hands, put aside your own opinions, do the best you can, and focus on your own growth and development. develop.
04Write at the end
For professionals, if we want to be more stable and better on this path, we still need to do a lot of things and understand a lot of truths. But the author believes that you must stay awake and think about problems with correct values and strategic perspectives, so that you can make your activities easier and achieve your goals faster.
