When your ability is irreplaceable in the workplace, you also have more “bargaining power”.

Before 2019, Xiao A did not think that he would become a “bubble” that the company was squeezed out.
Before coming to this company, Xiao A was an operation director of a large Internet company. Although he couldn’t be responsible for a complete project, the team he led could also be responsible for some key links in large projects.
After being dug into the current enterprise with high salaries, the entire industry has quickly entered an era of horse racing. Xiao A’s daily task is to put his budget on all channels to spend in various channels. The praise from the channel side has caught him in a great satisfaction of self-worth.
Two years passed quickly. Xiao A never thought about what would happen if the company had no money to spend one day. When the company fell into financing difficulties and was about to abolish the entire channel department, he realized that he had been in these two years. How much time wasted.

It’s not uncommon to find something like a small A in the workplace. Because of the dividends of the development of the times, we may be in one of the rising planes that is just like the “point-line polyhedron”. In the process, the entire platform has developed smoothly. As a part of enjoying the development bonus, you will get more blessings from the platform.
If you are obsessed with the illusion that you are very capable in this process, then when the industry enters the “crowding bubble” stage, you will easily fall into an awkward situation of “not going up”. I choose a low salary to accept a job from scratch, I am not willing to accept it; I choose a high salary to get a better job, the ability is not matched can not talk about the desired salary.
How can I avoid falling into this situation? We need to have a clearer understanding of the “truth and falseness” of the workplace.
What is fake? Everything is fake. Whether your current position in this company is an executive or an ordinary employee, and no matter what setbacks or grievances you have suffered in the process, these are false.
What is true? In the development of an enterprise, your personal development is true, your ability to improve is true, and the rewards you have paid for your efforts are true.
A lot of things are not too real. Entrepreneurship is cruel, management is aggrieved, and work has bottlenecks. You need to exercise yourself anytime, anywhere, and there is nothing to complain about.
Our value is “borrowing the truth to repair the truth” in the process of continuous pursuit, and it’s us who cultivate it. When your ability is irreplaceable in the workplace, you also have more “bargaining power”.

The most valuable entrepreneur under 40 in China is Zhang Yiming, the founder of BYTE. The reason why he started his business to the extent that he is today is inseparable from his training in the workplace.
When he was a technical man, he often helped other colleagues to solve technical problems late at night after finishing his work. For these extra workloads, apart from the gratitude received from colleagues, there is no other material return.
Two years later, he became the technical director of the enterprise. In the process, he improved the technical level and the management level.
In every company you go through, we will go through many stages of strangeness, familiarity, inheritance, and departure. When you “graduate” from a business, you can think about what you have learned the most from this experience?
Are they much better paid than their peers?
Is it an individual or a team?
A sense of accomplishment after a promotion?
…
But after you enter the next stage, are they all still important? Past resumes will eventually be forgotten. The most important thing is that you personally get transformed in the training of these things. When you grow some excellent qualities from the inside out, when you can upgrade your own operating system, Getting these will belong to you.
Behind all of our research businesses are people. The best way to land Ali business is the Review system. The order of review is from business to people. The first process in Ali’s performance talk is to let employees do self-summation and evaluation. He must first start with business, from business to people.
All the problems behind the business are people’s problems. You must peel the onion to peel it out, so this place is called peeling the onion, peeling it off layer by layer, until it cannot be peeled again. Calling people to repair people.

Everything we encounter in our work today, all our frustrations are cultivating ourselves.
Marxism believes that the essence of man “is the sum of all social relations in its reality.” Through long-term hard work, we can not only transform the objective world and improve our material life, but also change our thinking and enhance our spiritual realm.
The first layer: the most primitive management, no management or spontaneous management, most small and medium-sized private enterprises, and even some state-owned enterprises operate in this way.
Second layer: introduce modern management methods, such as KPI, performance evaluation and other result-oriented mechanisms, pay more attention to goals, results, numbers, and clearer rewards and punishments. Most of the world’s top 500 and its branches have reached this Level.
The third layer: Introduced process management, which can decompose and sort business logic, and then capture the process indicators of the pendant.
Fourth floor: top-level design, cultivating successors by using fakes.
Why does “borrowing the truth and cultivating people by things” become the highest level of management? Because for management, the ultimate goal is the development and promotion of talents and the organization, which can enable everyone in the organization to do things spontaneously and voluntarily, and managers leave the organization and still actively operate.
When you can recognize that everything you encounter in the workplace is the cultivation of yourself, you will become a self-driving person. You no longer need the leader to force you to make two-hour calls every day; you will no longer fool yourself in order to complete certain indicators; you can also understand that the halo given to you by the platform is false, and you pass these thingsThe inner quality of cultivation is true. Making money is no longer an ultimate goal, but a natural return in the process of achieving self-growth.
“ The establishment of the cultivation mechanism is actually a process of borrowing fake repairs. The assessment methods such as enterprise design KPI are just a means and a fake appearance. The real purpose of an enterprise should be through a series of management Means to cultivate talents. It is necessary to stimulate the creativity and execution of employees through false appearances, and convey meaningful and valuable information.
In an enterprise, we should not do things for the sake of doing things. The system and assessment methods are just a means and a false appearance. The real purpose of management should be to train the team through these means. Only when your team is strong can you control a larger business and create greater value.
