"The bank can be said to have perfectly avoided all the beautiful imagination and directly slapped these young people with the cruel reality. ”
A few days ago, a senior who worked in a bank asked me, "I really don't understand why you young people like to complain about banks so much?" It's as if the bank is worthless in your eyes, where is there so much resentment. ”
I tried to explain the reason in detail to my seniors.
He said: "I have read almost all of your articles. There is some truth in your analysis, but whether you are too busy and tired at work, or you don't see hope, you need to rely on your own efforts to change. It's useless to complain about others.
After being "educated" by our seniors, we ended this exchange.
Lying in bed at night, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and I thought about it again. yes, why are there so many dissatisfaction among young employees with banks these days?
It took me a long time to figure it out.
It turns out that the hard work and the lack of hope are only superficial. The deeper reason is that banks give young employees all the imagination they should have for a perfect job, but they have shattered that imagination with their own hands.
This is the root cause of many people's dissatisfaction.
As a young employee, when you first start working, you will have some expectations.
For example, with the increase of working hours, the salary should be gradual, the work content will become more and more technical, the ability will gradually become stronger, the position will slowly rise, etc., everything will get better and better.
He is no longer a handyman who "screws" at the bottom, but will grow into a manager, able to shine on a broad platform and show his talents.
Theoretically, these requirements and expectations are not excessive, and banks should be able to meet them. After all, it is such a big enterprise, with such a broad platform, such a perfect system, and such a profitable industry.
But when they enter the bank, they realize that everything was fantasy.
It can even be said that the bank perfectly avoided all their beautiful imagination and directly slapped these young people with cruel reality.
Because wages don't grow with the time they take in the industry, they may even keep falling; The content of the work is also the same, the same every day. Every day is doing the work that I was doing when I started in the industry, and there is no technical content.
And ability, naturally, is not as employees imagine, to be able to continue to learn and progress in their work. But not long after entering the industry, he quickly entered a long plateau period.
What's even more disappointing is that in this plateau period, most people can only rely on their own understanding to explore, there is no so-called perfect training system, and there is no one to guide, and the speed is all up to them.
As for the career development and adjustment of work content that employees are concerned about, it is more like an extravagant expectation.
As an ordinary person without resources and connections, it is difficult to achieve a career breakthrough unless the time and place are right.
I know that some people will say that there are cases of ordinary people around them who have successfully counterattacked, but those are a minority after all, and more people are still doing complicated and boring work every day for more than ten years or even decades. There are no surprises, no surprises, no growth, no future and no hope in sight.
When a young man enters a bank with infinite hopes for the future, he finds that all his hopes have come to naught. Instead, there is endless overtime, lower and lower wages, heavier and heavier indicators.
It's hard for anyone to accept that something like this happens.
So why do some old employees who have been working for many years rarely complain?
I think in addition to the fact that they work longer hours and stand higher, there is another very important reason, that is, they have enjoyed the dividends of bank development.
In other words, their expectations have been fulfilled more or less, so their mentality is more peaceful.
But what about these young people? I haven't enjoyed the happiness I once had, but I have to suffer that others have never suffered.
Some dissatisfaction, it's too normal.
