A reader in a state-owned enterprise complained to me:
I have been working in a state-owned enterprise for a long time. I am very positive about the vice president and department leaders, and I rush to the front to do a lot of things, and I am obedient. But the vice president and department leaders were always dissatisfied with me and often got angry. Some time ago, the unit promoted a group of people, but I was defeated. I doubt that I have worked so hard, why did I still lose the election. The eldest sister of personnel comforted me and said, wait for the next batch. I can't figure it out, I want to ask, do I still have a chance?
I said, you still have a chance, you fight so hard, how can you not have a chance?
He then asked, "I feel like I'm working too hard and I'm too eager to improve, isn't it?"
I said, that's for sure, in the units within the system, it's not necessarily good to work too hard.
I'm not telling everyone not to struggle, but I'm saying that it's not good to struggle too much, and it's not good to want to make progress too much.
Struggle is to silently develop internal strength and internal strength;
The biggest feature of over-struggling is that there is a word in my eyes and on my face: I want to improve so much!
The result of wanting too much progress is to let go of one's own dignity, flatter and curry favor with the leader, squeeze one's own value, and at the same time, actively intercept all kinds of performance opportunities in the unit, making others feel uncomfortable.
For example, if the unit has a group activity, such as a speech contest or a speaking opportunity, he will rush to ask for this opportunity.
Because this opportunity can show his face and let the leader remember him.
When he spoke on stage, he was particularly passionate and energetic, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
For another example, he showed sincerity and fear of what the leader said and the tasks he assigned, and put his posture very low to undertake work tasks.
Even if the leader makes all kinds of unrealistic requests, he will find a way to meet them.
For another example, he will be more active in saddle up for the leader than ordinary hard-working cadres, hoping to please the leader.
For example, he must rush to fight for a few times in various evaluations of the unit. I'm afraid that if I don't get it, I'll fall behind.
Because he is too eager to improve, he focuses on fighting for opportunities, and his external performance gives people the impression that he is too humble, and he feels that he has been promoted.
When you behave too humbly, you will not be respected by your leaders and colleagues.
Because the leader will think, I can't be too nice to this person, and I can't promote him too easily. Otherwise, he will have a sense of contentment and will no longer serve me like a servant.
Therefore, the leader will definitely create scarcity and control him to death.
Other leaders and colleagues will also think, this person is also fighting for this, that is also fighting, a bit of a limelight, and it is a competitive threat to everyone. Therefore, you must not give him a good review.
You see, why is it too eager to progress, but not happy?
Because the leader wants to continue to use you and squeeze your value;
Your colleagues think that you are competitive and do not speak of martial virtues, and they exclude you together.
These people don't want you to be promoted, so how can you be promoted?
I have analyzed that the reason why some young people are so eager to improve is because they did not understand the system when they grew up.
It is too important to see promotion, and it is too easy to see promotion.
I take promotion too seriously and think it's a high value. However, in fact, it is a level increase, a little increase in wages, and more power.
But it's not worth your humility.
It's too easy to see promotion, and I feel like you can be promoted by a leader as soon as he makes a decision. However, the reality is that even if you are the best, even if it is the fastest, it will take two or three years before you are eligible for promotion.
Therefore, your usual efforts to please are in vain. Because your qualifications for promotion are not enough.
Leaders don't think about you all the time just because you're positive at a certain time.
In short, to want to improve too much is to put your posture too low, showing a rush for success.
And the real struggler is deeply hidden, self-confident and self-reliant, and pays attention to the game.
Not only know how to please the leader, but also know how to handle the relationship, so that the other party respects you.
Remember, how to play with each other, how to get real recognition in the group, is a valuable way to play.
There isn't much point in fighting without a brain.
That little thing in the system
