Once upon a time, I was new to my career with passion and ideals.
was hit by those unstated "rules" and broke his head.
Today, let me, an old bird who has been in the workplace for many years.
Let's uncover the human affairs of those units that no one tells you.
When you first start your career.
I'm always proactive looking for things to do.
I want to be able to show my ability and value.
However, I soon found that no matter how much I did, if it wasn't arranged by the leader, it was often in vain.
Even sometimes, they will offend people because of "overstepping their bounds".
I remember that when a project I was involved in was at a critical stage, I discovered something that was closely related to the project.
Although it is not in my area of responsibility, I feel that if I can handle it, it will have a positive impact on the whole project.
Eager to succeed in the project, I decided to step in and get involved.
However, when the leader learned that I was dabbling in this area without permission.
Criticism was raised.
Saying that I have expanded the scope of my work without authorization may cause coordination and communication problems.
Tell me to do my job.
You can put forward your own suggestions and ideas in a timely manner, but you must respect the decisions of the leadership.
Therefore, I advise everyone.
Do your job well within your responsibilities and don't meddle in other people's work.
Unless your boss explicitly asks you to do so.
Early in my career, I didn't know much about relationships.
I always want to be able to build a good relationship with all my colleagues.
One day, several colleagues suddenly invited me to their party, and I was very happy at the time.
I feel like I'm finally being accepted.
So, gladly accepted.
However, I soon realized that this small group was not recognized by the leadership.
I realized that I was caught up in a factional struggle among my colleagues.
Later, I chose to remain independent and focus on improving myself.
Relationships in the workplace are complex and delicate, but not all relationships need to be maintained.
Once, I was assigned to work on an urgent project with a huge amount of tasks and a tight schedule.
In order to ensure the successful completion of the project, I had to work overtime until late at night every day.
I thought that this kind of dedication could be recognized by the leadership.
However, the end result was a big disappointment for me.
At the end of the project, although the leaders affirmed my efforts, they did not give me any substantial rewards or promotions.
This incident made me deeply realize a truth: work is work, and life is life.
Work is important, but it shouldn't be the whole of our lives.
As a result, I began to adjust my work-life balance, and instead of blindly wronging myself, I pursued salary and professional status.
I also learned to say no to unreasonable work arrangements.
No longer let yourself be wronged for some trivial things.
In short, the sophistication of people in the workplace requires us to continue to learn and understand.
I hope you can learn from my experience and avoid detours.
