A retired deputy department-level uncle woke me up: In the unit, the leader asks you to do odd jobs, but others are very idle, so there is only one possibility. If you still listen to the older generation and think that the leader is training you, then you will be even more miserable.
Ever since I was a child, I have heard people say that a unit is like a small society, and there are all kinds of people. And I've always been curious about this mysterious place. It wasn't until I graduated that I entered a favorite unit through my own efforts.
In the beginning, I was full of enthusiasm for my work, and I came to the unit early every day and left last. I believe that as long as I work hard, I can be recognized by my leaders and thus achieve better development. However, the reality is not as rosy as I imagined.
The atmosphere in the unit disappointed me. Some people spend their free time chatting or playing on their phones, but my work is getting heavier and heavier. Sometimes, I even wonder if I am too serious and become a "slave" to everyone.
That day, I returned home exhausted and complained to my retired uncle about what had happened to me. When my uncle was young, he was a deputy department-level cadre, and he saw all kinds of phenomena in the unit thoroughly. He listened to my complaints, was silent for a while, and then said earnestly, "Son, you know what? In the unit, the leader asks you to do odd jobs, but others are very idle, then there is only one possibility. ”
My eyes widened, expecting my uncle's explanation. He continued: "That's because the leaders think you're too talkative, too easy to bully. They know you're not going to resist, so they put more work on you. And those who know how to say no and will express themselves can get more opportunities. ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect my uncle to say that. I have always believed that as long as I am serious and responsible for my work, the leader will see it. But now, I seem to understand something.
My uncle saw my doubts and said with a smile: "Child, you have to remember one thing, in the unit, it is not that the older you are, the more advantageous you are. Sometimes, being too obedient can make you uncompetitive. ”
I nodded thoughtfully. In the days that followed, I began to try to say no unnecessary chores and devote more time to my work. At the same time, I also learned how to get along with my colleagues and how to show my abilities in the workplace.
Gradually, I found that my work became easier and my leaders began to value my opinions. And those who used to have leisure are becoming less and less competitive because of lack of exercise.
I know, I've learned the rules of survival in the unit. No longer blindly follow the opinions of the older generation, but adjust your mentality and behavior according to your actual situation.
Now, I'm no longer the one who just keeps my head down and does it. I learned how to stand out in the company and how to stand out from the competition. And all of this is thanks to my uncle, who used his life experience to wake me up as a "dream man".
