Recently, I had a dinner with an old classmate who worked in a ministry, my classmate is 43 years old this year, 33 years old was admitted to the national ministries and commissions, and it has been 10 years now, during which he has completed the on-the-job graduate school of Peking University, and has taken the national legal qualification professional certificate.
He told me that he had the idea of quitting several times, mainly for several reasons:
First, the work intensity of ministries and commissions is too highA new director of the department asked him to work overtime until after 9 o'clock every night before he could leave the unit, and he worked an extra day on Saturday, which was physically and mentally exhausting.
The second is that the family always gives a lot of pressuregave birth to a daughter a few years ago, but she couldn't take care of her family, and her wife and mother-in-law were very resentful.
FinallyOne point, and the most important point, in the unit for ten years, from the ambition of just entering the ministry to the present heart is like ashes, I think I have worked hard, but I have never been the person that the leader values and promotes.
As the night got darker, I talked to him a lot.
1. I only know how to bow my head to pull the car, and I don't know how to raise my head and shout.
His grades are actually very good, he loves to study in college, he spends all day in the library, and is selected to be admitted to the ministry with an absolute high score.
After entering the ministry, he quickly adapted to the high-intensity work rhythm, and the tasks assigned by the leaders were always meticulously completed.
If there is a problem with the work, I dare not report to the leader before it is completed, for fear that the leader will think that I can't do it.
I thought that I could get the appreciation and recognition of the leaders by completing the work efficiently and with high quality and not causing trouble to the leaders, but the results were not what I wanted.
Many times leaders only see the results, but they don't know the effort behind you.
The rule of the workplace is that whoever reports more is working hard.
There is a saying in the workplace that says, "If you can't find a leader's office today, you won't find your own office tomorrow." ”
There is also a saying in the system, called "Don't ask for instructions, don't report, be careful of your black hat." These all illustrate an unspoken rule in the workplace and the system, and you must report to the leader in a timely and proactive manner.
Male students devote all their time to work to roll up life and death, and in the end they become obscure old scalpers in the workplace, far less than those who often run to the leader's office, ask for more instructions and report more.
2. Respect the leader, but never enter the circle.
He said that although he has worked with the director for many years, he has never entered the circle of leaders, and the meeting is only a greeting, and there is no deepening of personal feelings.
The male classmates think that they respect the leader very much and give the leader enough face, but in fact, there is a gap with the leader.
You must know that the fastest way to get promoted in the system is to "hug your thighs", when you get close to the leader, the leader will naturally use you.
You must learn to manage upward, impress the leader in your own way, take the initiative to approach the leader, and let the leader clearly know that you are on his side, so that you will be included in the scope of promotion.
In addition, he has a good personality, the reputation of the masses is also very good, and ordinary cadres and workers also recognize him, but he has never had the opportunity to enter the circle of people around the leader, such as the leader's driver, secretary, office director, etc.
Sometimes the leader will participate in some private gatherings in the circle, and the leader does not like to engage in small groups, but if it is a small group built around the leader himself, the leader is definitely not excluded.
3. Very capable, but thinking of yourself is too important.
After entering the ministry, he quickly became the backbone of the department's business, and the director often praised his professional ability and valued him very much, so he did not dare to slack off for a moment when the director assigned work.
Even if I receive a work message from the leader during off-hours, I will reply as soon as possible, and I often take the initiative to work overtime on weekends.
While working hard, he did not forget his personal improvement, he only had a bachelor's degree, and obtained the on-the-job graduate diploma and legal professional certificate of Peking University through struggle, and then he devoted more time and energy to his work.
Due to high-intensity study and work and frequent anxiety and insomnia, the male classmate has changed from a young handsome guy to a middle-aged uncle with a receding hairline. But the constant internal friction did not impress the first-in-command director, but made his life a mess.
On the other hand, those who have been promoted, they will not work hard at work, but they will definitely not be labeled as "lying flat", and they will look more comfortable in the workplace.
The leader is good at drawing cakes, but he only eats cakes for his own people, and the leader wants to promote you, but what he values is never hard work. Finally, I want to comfort the male classmates who are unhappy:Just go to work, you don't have to go up.
