How to avoid it?

After 35 years old, Will you depreciate in the workplace?

A few days ago a screenshot was widely disseminated by everyone, the title is “Universal Career “ , as follows:

Although this is a stalk, its practical way of ridicule pierces a fact: Most people in the workplace will only become more mediocre with age, rather than getting better.

This is different from what most people expect.

I have contacted many young people in the workplace. There are also a few people whose wages have doubled, so they will think:

If you follow this rhythm At the age of 30, I am sure to earn at least 30,000 a month. At the age of 35, I am definitely a member of the core management.

Unfortunately, most people over the age of 35 think so too, they also followed you when they graduated a few years It’s just as good, but it didn’t come true at the age of 35.

Why?

Because career development does not grow linearly all the time, so don’t take the rhythm of the first few years of graduation as a rhythm.

What was your passion when you first graduated? What physical strength? What energy? What work intensity?

Can you do that at the age of 35?

There is an open secret in the workplace. When the company recruits, grassroots employees do not like to recruit people over 35 years old.

I have also been in business for two years and received Hundreds of resumes, I will basically skip over 35 years old.

It’s not age discrimination, in fact, you are looking for a job instead of applying, but competing, that is, you want to stand out from the competition, you may be suitable But others are also suitable.

The ability is similar, the salary requirements are similar, one is 85 before the other is 90, think about it in a different way, if you are the boss, you will How to choose?

If your experience ability crushes young people, definitely choose you. But the reality is not:

Most people just get old, and their ability has not changed.

The most terrible thing after 35 years old, is to become a luxury in the workplace

What is the most terrible thing after 35 years old?

Become a luxury in the workplace.

How to understand?

First, luxury goods are expensive.

I do n’t know much about luxury goods, but I occasionally go to see them when shopping. An LV bag costs 20,000-30,000, and a Dior bag costs 10,000-20,000. No matter how you market, I feel expensive.

The same is true for people over the age of 35 in the workplace, which is very expensive. Of course, it is not really expensive in value, but it is very expensive, so the price is high. We learned the theory of “value determines price” in high school classrooms, but in reality, most people in the workplace do not seem to understand this rule, and many people feel that their salary should continue to rise with the growth of seniority.

No matter how high or low the value I create for the company, no matter whether my work ability improves or declines, anyway, I should increase my salary by one year after working for more than one year. Big, you should let me “?

When I was recruiting, I also found that many young people born in the post-90s were asking for 80,000, but many post-80s, no matter how strong they were, had an opening of 15K or 20K.

Second, luxury goods are not practical.

I have also bought some luxury bags, but I have rarely carried them. Most of them stay in the cabinet for half a year.

Why?

Because it’s too practical. We are not the kind of big boss or star. We have cars and assistants when we go out. Many things do n’t need to be carried. We go out and carry a bag. We still have to pay attention to practicality. Both function and capacity must be considered. But for luxury goods, it is naturally anti-practical.

The same is true for many people over the age of 35 in the workplace, which are not practical. Many people have packed themselves gorgeously. What directors and partners have they worked in, have stayed in a certain company, have participated in some well-known projects, and so on. practical.

Although many people are 35 years old, do you really mean that you have 10 years of experience? Do n’t you repeat 10 years of one-year experience?

Third, luxury goods are not durable.

I have asked my master to make a few bags for a few thousand dollars, which is quite practical. The most important thing is durable. It is not expensive at all. It is still casually placed. It ’s okay to get some rain or water. Nothing. But luxury is not enough. You are always afraid of hurting it. Hold it in your hand and put it in a cabinet.

The same is true for many people over the age of 35 in the workplace. Many times we have to admit:

The hardware foundation determines the efficiency of the software. After passing a certain node, as the age grows, people ’s physical qualities, mental states and other qualities are constantly declining. In this state, you can make a discount on the energy you can put into your work.

Because after 35 years old, the vast majority of people in the workforce are old and young, this will result in your energy being divided into many parts. You have to take care of the elderly, take care of the children, take care of the family, How much can be divided into work in the end?

I ca n’t bear it, I ca n’t work hard, I ca n’t work overtime, I ca n’t work long hours . And they are so old that they can’t be scolded casually. You have to consider the identity of your old man in the workplace.

On the other hand, for young people, the material pressure is not so great. There is a brick in the workplace, where it needs to be moved, and it is easy to use and durable.

Think about everything in empathy, if you are a middle-aged person, you may stand in the middle-aged workplace Aside.

But if you are a business operator, you know:

Businesses that dare to reuse young people will continue to have a future!

If your business cannot change blood in time, then your business will decline as young people get older.

Alibaba and Huawei are both representatives of companies that continue to thrive, why? Because they continue to bet on young people.

Ma Yun often said in public: “Dare to pull the people in the back row forward!”

Ren Zhengfei said: “Let the people who hear the gunfire make decisions”!

Tencent has not done enough on this point, and has been reflecting and reforming in recent years.

I recently started to focus on this company, vivo, and found that it is more aggressive in reusing young people:

For a mobile phone company, a battle that must be won is the application of 5G technology. In this tough battle, vivo is reusing young people.

In the early summer of 2017, the vivo Communication Research Institute welcomed the first batch of students-12 newly graduated college students, who will be the training objects of 5G standardization research and began New learning and life.

This 5G youth team is not as mysterious as Alibaba’s Aegis Bureau, but they are also young, energetic, and full of potential.

The original intention of Vivo to build this team is: Creating the future depends on accumulation and precipitation, but also on the strength of young people. The threshold of standardization research is high, and talents are hard to find. If there is no enterprise organization to train new people, the industry will go down.

Vivo is not doing anything like this. For example, participating in international high-standard meetings, many companies send out relatively mature employees with rich work experience, which is reasonable.

but vivo is not, from 2017, vivoStarted to plan and step by step to send young researchers to the conference. Temporary participation, trial regular participation, regular participation … different forms and different strengths, but opportunities for participation always appear in front of young people.

In 1993, Liang Dong represented vivo and Chinese companies at the 3GPP standardization organization meeting in early 2018, when he was the youngest Delegates.

Zhang Chenlu, as the head of Shenzhen Research Center of vivo Communication Research Institute, said: “Our collective is closely linked to the development of mobile communication technology in the entire country. At the time of making this decision, vivo’s thinking was very long-term. Everyone agreed: 3G breakthrough, 4G synchronization, and now in the 5G era, it is time for China to lead the development of world communications technology. ”

A group of post-90s players compete with global 5G experts, but this is also the boldness and uniqueness of vivo.

This is a fair and unfair place in workplace competition. Your competitors are not your peers, but everyone in the present, especially young people. people.

With the rapid development of the whole society, the world that each generation of young people sees in the growth process and the resources they enjoy must be better than the previous generation. The young people who have grown up in this environment must be The previous generation performed better. They understand the latest rules of the game in this world, and they understand the needs of other young people in this world.

How to avoid becoming a person after 35Workplace luxury?

First: Let yourself have top-notch skills as much as possible

Even if this skill is small, even if you are mediocre in other respects, you also have a housekeeping ability to protect yourself.

Have you cultivated a top-notch skill for yourself?

Many people don’t have it, most people’s mediocrity is not mediocre in some way, but mediocre Evenly, nothing stands out.

If one day you dare to say: Boss, I will not do anything else, but it must be handed over to me !

you win.

This requires you to focus on a small point and continue to dig deeper when you are young, don’t be greedy.

I remember speaking at a new media thousand people summit in 2018. At that time, I graduated for 4 years. At the beginning of my speech, there was a sentence like this: I am a person who is not talented, does not do PPT, and does not know how to use office software. I know too much about management and I am not good at dealing with people. I will not do anything. I will only chase hotspots and write 10W +.

The audience laughed. In fact, I used a joke to tell the truth:

You have a specialty, you have armor.

Second: forcing myself to go to the management post

If you have been at the grassroots level, then you will always be in a state of individual combat. A soldier in the army does not want to retire, you can only force As I continue to improve my rank, so do companies.

The essence of management is to call all resources to achieve the overall goal, the most important resource is human resources. In other words, by the age of 35, you can’t compare with young people as a single soldier, but you can turn young people into your soldiers.

Many people have the opportunity to develop into management posts, but they loveAs a result, Aitli walks alone, loves traveling alone, unwilling to do management, he gave up, and regretted at the age of 35.

In the workplace, we must remember one sentence: location is more important than ability.

The best way is to cultivate yourself a specialty a few years ago, and then let yourself go to the management post.

In fact, this is a bit of a transformation from “labour” to “capital”, if you can’t become “capital”, you will always It is the “party that sells its lives.”

Some stars know this very well.

Yang Mi appeared at the age of 20 and appeared in the Jin Yong martial arts drama “Sculpture of the Condor Heroes”. Starring in “The Palace Lock Heart Jade” has gained wide attention, and it is considered to be a representative of young fame.

But she didn’t go all the way on the track of idol actors.

In 2013, 28-year-old Yang Mi established his ownThe studio, renamed Jiaxing Yang Mi Studio in 2014, signed young actors such as Gao Weiguang, Dili Reba, Zhang Yunlong, Li Xirui and Zhang Binbin.

Since then Yang Mi has become a “capital”, this track does not have the 35-year-old law.

When he was young, he worked hard to accumulate resources, contacts, and experience, choose the opportunity to embark on the management path, and let himself become “capital”.

Third: try to be at the forefront of the times

What is the frontier of the times?

For example, in 2015, I entered the bank as a public account instead of a paper media. In 2020, I started to do my best to make a video account. Even if it does n’t work, it does n’t matter, because video is the future trend, and learning to face the camera is what everyone needs in the future ability.

Live broadcast, short video, artificial intelligence, blockchain, 5G … These are the cutting-edge areas, enter these areas, you The probability of being eliminated will be greatly reduced, and the probability of making an achievement will be greatly increased.

For example, vivo re-betting 5G is betting on the frontier field, betting on the future, while vivo is on this matter Reuse young people, these young people will become the core strength of vivo in the future, and even the core strength of China’s 5G.

Now facing the international stage, vivo is a Chinese enterprise that promotes the development of 5G standards, and is a contributor to the active promotion of 5G commercial; for China, vivo and Is the leader of China’s 5G.

Based on 5G technology, when 3GPP launched the formulation of 5G standards in 2016, vivo established a 5G R & D center and fully participated in the formulation of 5G standardization. So far, vivo has applied for more than 2,000 5G invention patents and submitted more than 3500 5G proposals to the 3GPP standardization organization.

For 5G chips, vivo also participated in the joint development of Exynos 980 dual-mode 5G AI chip with Samsung, and sent more than 500 professional R & D engineers, Joint investment and research and development with Samsung have solved many technical problems and promoted the 5G popularization process.

For 5G terminals, since the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially released 5G commercial licenses last June, vivo has successively launched a number of 5G commercial mobile phones and gradually established The establishment of a “5G fleet” covering the full price range of 2000-6000 yuan has vigorously promoted the popularization of 5G mobile phones in China.

faced with the sudden new coronary pneumonia epidemic in early 2020, vivo will speed up the recovery of production capacity in a short time, and the daily production capacity of 5G mobile phones will exceed 100,000 from the end of March. station.

For overseas markets, vivo is spreading to the global market with China and India as the starting point, gradually opening up the road of vivo globalization.

In the development of 5G, vivo has been far ahead of many mobile phone manufacturers, and “Hua V” has become a slogan in the 5G era. Zhang Chenlu said, “What vivo needs to do is to become the soil, cornerstone and driving force for the growth of the youth team.” Similarly, vivo has also become a solid arm to promote the development of 5G in China and the world.

People’s Daily praised the vivo5G youth team when “Houlang” was screened.

Personal development must learn to take advantage of the situation, the individual ability is strong, the individual strength is still small Yes, if you can put yourself in a company that represents the future and represent the future, can you get involved?

Fourth: Do more cumulative things

You move bricks for one year, the same applies for bricks in the second and third years.

If you write for one year, your writing will double in the second and third years.

The former is typical, there is no accumulation of things, do a return once, the latter is a typical accumulation, every Every time you do it, you will make progress on the basis of value.

Of course, this is also due to your deliberate progress and accumulation. When I recruited the author, some people wrote for three or five years, and I asked to submit 5 decent representative works, all Not enough.

Many occupations in the workplace, “the older the more, the more popular”, because their growth curve is close to the exponential function of a> 1, the initial stage is very It is difficult to see the results, but as time accumulates, the skills become stronger and stronger.

The growth ceiling of these professions is extremely high, and may not even exist.

When going to the hospital to see a doctor, we must be more willing to find a more experienced old doctor than a newly graduated intern.

When looking for a lawyer to defend, we must also want to find more mature lawyers for the defense sessions, rather than assistants who have never appeared in court.

An experienced veteran doctor, a barrister with countless defense sessions, basically as long as he does not retire, everyone is more willing Find him to help yourself solve the problem.

Like I started working in the entrepreneurial state for 15 years, I have been writing content all the time, and now I have written a five or six thousand It ’s enough for me to give me three or four hours, and the written manuscript will definitely be better than 80%.

This kind of work is cumulative, every step you have taken in the past In preparation for the later smoother. The longer you do this, the more valuable you will be as long as you don’t give up.

Like I sometimes recruit people who do content, I am not willing to recruit university graduates because of his accumulation and cognition Not enough, he couldn’t distill his point of view when meeting a hot spot, but those who have been doing it for three or four years will get better and better.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to do this kind of work, but the accumulation of this matter is not only used to judge “career positions” , But also used to judge many things in any position.

No matter what position you do, you can keep thinking about what is cumulative in my current job content, and what is not, and then try not to Cumulative things gradually decrease, leaving more accumulation.

For example, Zhang Chenlu, head of Shenzhen Research Center of vivo Communication Research Institute, said: 5G standardization research has little experience for reference, because he led the team to complete a historical accumulation together, they wrote a book called “From Part to Whole : “5G System View” textbook, this book not only provides guidance for the cultivation of talents of vivo Communication Research Institute, but also selected the “13th Five-Year” national key publications.

A generation will eventually grow old, but there are always people who are young, and the younger generation will eventually be replaced by a younger one. This cycle has no power to break.

What each of us can do is try not to devalue ourselves prematurely, at least at 35 Don’t be a luxury in the workplace.
