How do you know if you want to change jobs? Before you make the decision to quit, you don't have to try three tricks first, these three tricks won't work, and it's not too late to consider changing jobs.
The first trick is to try to master the rhythm of work yourself. Most of your worries are due to a sense of loss of control. Meetings are held every day, but no results are seen. Report every day, but don't have the authority to innovate. You find yourself a screw on the assembly line. Try to take that sense of control back. Use your life as a compass. You need a job to make your life better, not to make your boss on the Forbes rich list.
Here's a trick: 80% of the world's work, just 80 points are good enough. It's not a flat down, you can get 80 points, you're still a good employee, but you don't have to work as hard as you used to, so you can regain control of your life. It can be collected or put away; You can take it or you can give it away. No one else can manipulate me, I live for myself. The reason why many newcomers feel tired is because there is always a perfectionism complex. Try adjusting the pace and letting yourself relax, maybe it will work even better.
The second trick is to try to see your work from an outsider's perspective. In 2009, Basu, an economist of Indian origin, was invited to serve as chief economic adviser to India's Ministry of Finance. From a scholar to a **, he felt very uncomfortable. Indian politics is well known for its bureaucratic style. What to do? Basu remembered that during the First World War, the anthropologist Malinowski could not return home because of the war in Europe, so he spent three years in the Trobrian Islands in the Pacific Ocean, observing and documenting the lives of the local population. Basu thought: Why can't I, like an anthropologist, spend three years observing the behavior of **?
You can role-play. For example, you can imagine yourself as an undercover agent. Being an undercover agent is more exciting than being an employee. Why did you go undercover at this company? Because you're going to gather all the information you need about this company. Then you won't just focus on the work in front of you, but try to understand the company's business from the big picture. If you're in trouble, you won't go crazy right away. You think, interesting, how could they mess up? I'll have to figure it out and get back to writing this report. To whom is this report for? It's reported to yourself. Only by watching from the sidelines can you see better. How nice it is, from a different perspective, you will feel that all the pros and cons of this company are performed for you, so that you have more opportunities to learn.
The third trick is to exercise your ability to survive in the wilderness. When I talk about wilderness survivability, I don't mean that you eat insects and drink water filtered from elephant feces like Bei Ye. The so-called wilderness survivability refers to if you leave the existing platform, give up the glory of the past, and start all over again, even if you have nothing, in the wilderness, can you still live, will anyone follow?
How can you train your wilderness survival skills? Of course, we start with the existing work, the existing platform. If you go to a large enterprise, that large enterprise can provide you with a broader vision and more practical opportunities. Work on a big platform and you'll be faster. Of course, big platforms also have disadvantages, that is, there are too many capable people, and the internal relationships are too complicated, so it is not so easy to stand out. If you go to a small business, the advantage is that it is easier to take charge of yourself, the cost of trial and error is lower, and it is easier to understand the real society and learn more folk wisdom and street wisdom. Of course, the downside of a small business is that it is too closed off and does not have access to the wider world and more challenging tasks. By knowing which platform you're on and recognizing the opportunities that different platforms can offer, you'll be more proactive in improving yourself. Don't ask what you can do for the business, ask more about what the business can do for you, and what opportunities you can take advantage of.
