For ordinary people, work is not only the stability of financial excellence, but also the main way for personal career development and personal value realization. As the saying goes, a soldier who does not aspire to be a general cannot be called a good soldier. In our East Asian region, the concept of workplace hierarchy is relatively strict.

Therefore, promotion is not only a symbol of salary increase, but also represents the recognition of personal talent. As the position rises, the authority of the individual in the appointment and speech of the individual also increases, but we also need to look at this dialectically.

Why are new graduates finding that promotions are a potential reason for leaving? We are taught from a young age to strive for excellence in all aspects. When they were in school, they all aspired to be student leaders, and after graduation, they all wanted to be promoted faster than their peers.

It seems that the promotion of the position symbolizes infinite glory, but sometimes, this honor also becomes one of the means by which some managers impose routines on new graduates.

A young man changed jobs twice, but discovered this pattern, and the promotion became the trigger for leaving. For example, in the previous job, everyone was originally in the same position.

As a result of the change of leadership, the arrival of new officials brought about a change, and the leadership carried out layoffs and reassignments. Among the many veteran employees, he had a relatively strong sense of competence and responsibility, so he was promoted to supervisor.

However, due to the change of work tasks and patterns, the remaining employees were generally dissatisfied, and he became the object of anger. Leaders need someone to take the lead in management and create a new working atmosphere to show to the higher-level leaders.

Although subordinates' salaries have remained the same, their work assignments have increased dramatically, and they are at risk of losing their jobs, leading to resentment being passed on directly to their immediate supervisors. In fact, a lot of work is difficult to carry out in the way envisioned by the big leaders.

After expressing difficulties, the individual's abilities are questioned. With the increasing pressure, the salary was only 200 yuan, which made the graduates feel unbearable, so they had to choose to leave their jobs and join other employers.

The leader gave him an important task, whether he was "cultivating" or "painting cakes", it depends on the following three things. This experience may not be just his feelings. While listening to the show, I found that this issue was often mentioned. That is, after being promoted, the pressure increases dramatically, and I often get caught up in the tangle of whether it is worth continuing or not.

In fact, there are two main reasons for this contradiction. In the traditional cultivation thinking, there has always been too much emphasis on the pursuit of progress and continuous promotion, otherwise it is equivalent to laziness and mediocrity.

This type of education is actually anti-human, because everyone has different values and should be more respectful of real personal experience. The desire for a promotion is certainly a sign of self-motivation, but everyone should not be expected to accept expectations unconditionally.

However, the more important reason for the confusion may lie in the actual feelings of the employees, which may be in significant contradiction with the original intention expressed by the leader. This raises the question of whether the so-called entrustment of heavy responsibilities is to cultivate oneself or just to provide an excuse for the leader to give a small return in exchange for more company effort.

Looking at it rationally, we can judge the answer to this question by the following three aspects. First of all, it depends on whether there is a substantial change in wages and whether the change is obvious enough. A truly reliable leader will not say something like, "Don't look at salary, look at potential."

After all, every graduate wants to earn a little more money at work. Since a promotion means taking on more important responsibilities and more responsibilities, a modest salary increase is justified even with no experience. If there is only a title and no actual benefit, it is likely that it is just drawing a pie.

Second, whether you are consulted on key decisions and whether your proposals are taken seriously. The rule of seasoned professionals is that all-hands meetings tend to be of limited value. Important issues are often discussed on a small scale.

In the most critical decisions, it is often the senior leadership who makes the decision alone and does not consult others. After you are promoted, whether your level and your words and proposals are truly valued can reflect your value in the eyes of your superiors.

Finally, it depends on whether the leader is willing to delegate authority appropriately, so that you can make independent decisions within a certain range after promotion. The professional ability of general employees is manifested in the professional field, while managers need to show certain ability in employment and decision-making in addition to their own work.

If, after you are promoted, your boss is willing to give you decision-making authority over some key matters, then it is a sign that you may be the one to be specially cultivated. But if it's just to increase your responsibilities and get you to put more effort into your work, it's not so good.

When good things happen, leaders get the benefits; And once a problem arises, you are responsible for solving it, which is obviously an obvious "utilization" relationship. At this point, the so-called ascension becomes a means of making others take the blame for themselves.

Author's Message] When we are students, we are used to praise and recognition from teachers and parents, but in the workplace, interpersonal relationships are often more complicated. Sometimes, there may be pitfalls behind the accolades. Graduates need to judge whether they are really being groomed or stuck in a well-set situation after being promoted based on their own abilities and understanding of leaders.
