The less pressure the boss makes you feel now, the closer you are to the danger of the future.

When sharing with the outside world, I often mention a HR story from Ali: Great good is evil, big evil is great. I recently received a consultation from a young person, which made me even more deeply aware of this topic.
Cherry Teacher, hello! I have learned a lot through your online courses and I am very grateful to you. I have some troubles recently and would like to ask you.
I have been graduating for five years and have been operating in a financial company before.
I have been in that company for a long time, and I feel that my daily life is not bad. The leadership is better for us, so the work pressure is not big, and I will leave when I get off work every day.
The results did not expect the business adjustment at the beginning of this year, the entire department was disbanded. It would be very comfortable to leave the job, and I have not been anxious to find a new job. At that time, I felt that I could find a better job based on my current work ability.
The results did not expect me to leave the job for half a year, and did not find a new job.
A company with good conditions suspects that my ability does not meet the job requirements, and the company that is willing to recruit me has failed to meet my salary and treatment requirements.
Now I regret that I didn’t have much experience in the previous company. What do you say I am going to do now to find my favorite job?
The more merciful and dangerous the manager is to you
Before answering this question, let’s talk a little bit. The new season’s “Qi Yu said” has a debate: the work of interest is always 996, should I not 886?
At the end of the show, a point of view from the instructor Xue Zhaofeng is worth pondering:
In fact, everyone, every time, is working for their resume. Regardless of how long the company can last, the resume accompanying us will stay with us.
On April 11 this year, Ma Yun talked to employees about the recent controversial 996 overtime culture in internal communication.
“Today China BAT (Baidu, Ali, Tencent) these companies can be 996, I think it is the blessings of those of us.”
“In this world, each of us wants to succeed, we all want a better life, and we all want to be respected. I ask everyone, you don’t pay more than others’ efforts and time, how can you achieve you?Wanted success?
A lot of people think that what is 996 is a blessing, it is the boss’s exploitation of employees. But if you think about it carefully, when you feel that the whole workplace environment is very comfortable in the enterprise, the leadership is very good for yourself, and there is no performance pressure, is it really the best state for your future?
There is such a fable in the document that IBM explains the company’s purpose.
On the shore of a North Lake, there is a kind-hearted old man. Every winter, a group of wild ducks fly through the winter. I don’t know when, the kind old man developed the habit of feeding wild ducks gathered in the lake. The wild ducks are gradually getting closer to the elderly, and they happily eat the food given by the old man.
In this way, after a year and a year, the old man will feed the wild ducks every winter. Finally, the wild ducks simply use the food provided by the elderly as the food for the winter.
In the blink of an eye, another winter is coming, and the wild ducks fly as usual. As before, they gathered at the lake, waiting for the elderly to provide food, but the old man did not appear. Day after day, the wild ducks waited by the lake every day, but the old man never appeared because he had passed away.
In that year, the cold current struck and the lake was frozen. As they waited for the old man, the wild ducks forgot to prey, and all starved to death.
The most disliked type of manager in the workplace is the old man. They laugh and laugh every day and never criticize their subordinates. Because Ali has a system of 360-degree scoring, when he is very, very good to his subordinates, his subordinates have a high evaluation of him. Such managers are superficially good for employees, but every employee will be embarrassed when they leave him.
In today’s changing Internet environment, there is a high probability that you will experience more than one company in your career. The less pressure the boss feels, the closer you are to the future. .
Many bosses are particularly good. You never give a word to your employees. The employees are particularly comfortable under you. The staff has followed you for three or four years. He has gone. He has nothing to gain and he can’t find a job. Is he a good boss in a situation?
In an organization, the boss of a good old man is a bad thing for the company. It is difficult for him to cultivate a good employee. Moreover, when he makes decisions, he does not take the interests of the company as the first, nor does it take the development of employees as the first. He is the first of his own.
The current “big evil”, the future greatness
In May 2011, Ma Yun changed the ownership of Alipay to help Alipay obtain a third-party payment license, and transferred it to a domestic company (Alibaba, Zhejiang) controlled by Ma Yun and Xie Shihuang (one of the founders of Alibaba). Bewildered by countless people.
In this regard, Ma Yun later responded in an interview: Great good is evil, big evil is great. When you are doing this, your heartI understand that you can make up for it when. Others marry you, if you are right, time will prove you; if you are wrong, time can’t prove you right.
The later fact was that after the replacement of ownership, Alipay quickly obtained the corresponding license. The current evil makes Ma Yun bear the countless nicknames on the Internet, but this is not the most important thing for him.
Yutou (founder of the entrepreneurial yeast Yu Chaoyu) When he was in the management team of Ali, he was particularly strict with the team, and he usually had a lot of people. In that year, when Alibaba’s middle school team opened a lot of people because of cheating, a whole lot of people in Guangdong Province were killed. Only Yutou’s Zhejiang Province lost the cadres.
Because Yutou usually has the strictest team, everyone usually feels that there are many rules and regulations that are constrained, especially painful, but at that moment everyone understands that Yutou protects everyone with his extremely strict standards. In fact, he There is great love for the team.
Sometimes the manager did a bad thing, for example, we fired a person who had a 3-year-old child under the age of 80. For him personally, you are a big evil, because he has no food to eat immediately, but for the company, this person may be the most critical source of negative information that destroys your company’s culture. Do you choose to expel?
This time you choose to expel and it seems to be a bad thing, but you saved the rest of the team. The most important thing to do is to be responsible. Every employee comes to your team and you need to be responsible for his future. Then you have to know what way to make this person successful in the future.
You are working for your resume
Go back to the initial question. If you are already at home after leaving your job, the choice of the next job must be considered in conjunction with your actual situation.
In your current situation, choosing a low-paying company to start a well-developed company is better than choosing a company that may have a higher salary but no ability to improve the space.
The development of a person in the workplace has two secrets in my opinion. First, the biggest advancement of people comes from the summarization and sharing of daily work. Second, the core of your promotion is to do your best. If the boss is not promoted to you, either the boss is stupid or you should be his boss.
In the ladder of career development, the core of these is the two. Your daily work is the most advanced progress. The courses and training you listen to are nothing more than open.Eyes. But you don’t have daily accumulation, what kind of eyes do you open? You only have the best work in front of you, and you have a bigger chance in the future.
As a professional, if your job is optimized to create hundreds of thousands of additional profits for your company, what do you think your boss will do with you? Will the company’s next round of salary adjustments and year-end awards be tilted towards you?
A step back, even if your boss really can’t see the results of your work, the ability to grow and work in your work can turn into a highlight on your resume. When you have the right opportunity, you can naturally have a brighter future.
The future must be a lifelong learner. Whether you will become a manager in the future, the ability to maintain lifelong learning will allow you to maintain your core competencies in different workplace environments.
