In the workplace, we are often confronted with a variety of different work environments and team cultures. Each unit has its own unique atmosphere and rules, and it can take a while for new employees to get used to that environment.
I used to work in a private company, where the working atmosphere was full of competition and energy. In this environment, individual abilities and efforts can be fully developed and recognized. The better you work, the more rewards and improvements you get.
However, when I transferred to a public institution, I found a completely different working atmosphere. Here, people are more inclined to follow the step-by-step process and do not take the initiative to work overtime or take on more responsibilities. For someone like me, who is used to working hard, this environment obviously makes me feel uncomfortable.
At the beginning, I still maintained my previous work style and worked hard to complete the tasks assigned by the leader. However, I soon realized that working hard was not favored here. On the contrary, those who know how to uphold the authority of the leader and are obedient and obedient are more popular.
A colleague named Kevin is a typical example of this. He not only worked perfunctory, but also was good at pleasing the leader, and always maintained praise and support for the leader. I was considered to be too impulsive and put a certain amount of pressure on the leader.
Eventually, I was transferred out of my old department and into a marginal function. It turned out that Kevin was behind all this, and he used my desperate work to discredit my image, which eventually led to me being alienated by the leadership.
This experience taught me that in the workplace, it is not enough to rely on individual ability and hard work. More importantly, we must learn to get along with leaders and colleagues, know how to maintain the authority of leaders, and be a subordinate who pleases the leader.
Later, I changed my way of working and focused more on the relationship with my leaders and colleagues, trying not to cause any trouble for my leaders.
Sure enough, my efforts were not in vain. The attitude of the leaders towards me gradually changed, and they began to value and trust me again, and even promoted me to some important positions.
Although I am not satisfied with this workplace culture, I also understand that as an employee, it is necessary to understand and adapt to the company's culture. After all, each unit has its own rules and methods, and what we need to do as employees is to try to integrate and play our own value.
This experience has made me more mature and sensible, and while such a workplace culture may stifle my entrepreneurial and innovative spirit, I also understand that this is an environment that I have to face and adapt to.
Perhaps, for such a team culture, we need to think deeply about whether it needs to be further optimized and transformed.
