Natural beauty, inspirational nature

Chapter 36
However, in line with the old saying that "there are many people who are popular, right and wrong", in the workplace, if you perform too well, the BOSS must appreciate you, but your colleagues may not, they will think that their status in the workplace has been imperceptibly affected. shake.

Our company is a "fine division" unit with a particularly clear and meticulous division of labor. Graphic designers are divided into three subcategories: "advertising design", "operation design" and "website design". It belongs to three different departments: marketing department, operation department and network department.Each department is assigned 2-3 design positions.Different designers belong to different department managers.

Xiao Ran and I were originally under the jurisdiction of Manager Ding. My work cannot skip Manager Ding and report directly to the boss.I have always kept this in mind, because every unit in the workplace has its own unwritten "rules". Give me design assignments.

In the past, she assigned tasks to Manager Ding, and then Manager Ding relayed them to the designers assigned to the department.But during that time, because the boss admired me more and more, she wanted to train me to be an executive of the company, let me manage the design matters of the whole company in a unified way, and standardize the design styles of the three departments.So she went directly to our department several times to find me, called me to her office to discuss work matters with me, and directly issued work tasks to me.

Her original idea was relatively simple, and she didn't intend to take away Manager Ding's authority. She just wanted to support a newcomer to better manage the company's design affairs.She told me: Manager Ding is suitable for the market, and I will hand over design matters to Ding Xiang. He often does not understand my real intentions. You are more professional in this regard and can understand my thoughts.So I am communicating directly with you now, lest he spread the word in the middle, misinterpret my intention, and then pass it on to you, but instead make you do more useless work, waste time, and reduce work efficiency.

The boss's idea was good, but she didn't expect her behavior, which made Manager Ding feel that his authority was threatened and challenged.

Manager Ding is 6 years younger than me, probably because of his young age, he is too young to hold his breath. He is not a bad person, and he is kind enough to recommend me. His only shortcoming is that he is not organized enough, too Emphasis on the empty things like power and status.

He immediately discovered the boss's "different" management trend, and immediately ran to talk to the boss, declaring his job sovereignty, saying that all the work on my side must still be approved by him.In the days that followed, his attitude towards me gradually lost the politeness and accommodatingness of the past.

In previous departmental meetings, when it came to my work, he always showed a very gentlemanly and humble look, and would gently ask me for my opinions and suggestions from time to time.I used to regard him as a confidant in the workplace, and I always knew everything in front of him.

Before other departments found fault with us, he really tried his best to protect the dignity and interests of our designers like a "big brother", preventing outsiders from questioning our designers' professional ideas and professional views at will, but then his attitude towards me came A 360-degree transformation.Let me see that there are no permanent friends or enemies in the workplace, only permanent interests.

The personnel department asked me to design a poster. I designed two plans, but they both made me go back and forth to revise them. I was not satisfied with life or death.You said you want to revise, and I can try my best to revise to your satisfaction, but the EQ of the new personnel specialist is worrying. Pointing and pointing made me useless.I had no choice but to argue in the group and explain my creative ideas and composition techniques.

But the interlacing is like a mountain, no matter how popular I say, the other party still has a half-knowledge, and sticks to the spirit of the bar to the end, insisting on pestering me to design another three or four drafts.I am naturally not happy, I am too busy with the work at hand, and I have to change and change a simple electronic promotional picture for the HR department. The design draft, let me redesign.

In the past, when faced with unreasonable troubles from other departments, when we found faults and made us constantly modify the plan, the manager would stand up and argue for us. This time the manager was silent in the group, instead of supporting me, he let people from other departments complain You have to fight me tit for tat.He also helped the HR department to scold me in the group.

Afterwards, at the weekly departmental meeting, he even criticized me by name with a blank face: "Feifei, you shouldn't be so emotional at work! That's very unprofessional. We serve other departments. They let me We must obey."

I was dumbfounded when I heard this, and I said, "Manager, why am I getting emotional? You can't criticize me for no reason and without reason, just label me casually. She has subjective emotions in the group, and criticizes me indiscriminately with unprofessional eyes." For the things I designed, I just patiently expounded my professional views, and made reasonable explanations and explanations for my plan, without being emotional."

He immediately replied, "You used exclamation points in several places in the message you sent!"

I said: "Only one or two exclamation marks are used. It is just an exclamation in tone, emphasizing some professional theoretical knowledge, and I cannot be wronged because of this."

Since then, such small things have continued to happen between us. Not only did he stop helping me, but he also made things difficult for me intentionally or unintentionally many times. I knew that I had completely lost this bole and ally.He is using this confrontational method to suppress my workplace authority, and to some extent he is also protesting to the boss.

But young, he still doesn't know the boss's true thoughts and the "crackling" abacus.

He didn't see through that they were in the same team. Everyone seemed to be two opposing parties in the balance of interests. In fact, no one was a winner after the gunshot.No matter which side falls, the other side will be destroyed along with it.

The boss originally hoped that through me, the scattered designers in the company could be unified and managed.

Whether it is graphic design, official account pattern design, or web design, they all belong to the category of graphic design in essence. Because plastic surgery hospitals attach great importance to advertising and publicity design, they have refined the jobs of designers. Web design The division only makes webpage pictures, and the micro-operator only makes pictures on the official account platform. Compared with the graphic design, the work content is more heavy. Various advertising materials, responsible for all promotional materials for various commercial activities.It can be as small as the house number, the nameplate number of the doctor, and the product catalog, as large as the image display cabinet display in the hospital.

The hospital's clear division and clear division of labor can relatively reduce the work pressure of designers and allow them to focus on the design areas that everyone is better at, but there are huge management drawbacks——

That is, every designer has his own set of design concepts, his own color preferences, and aesthetic preferences.As a result, for the same themed event, the screens designed by the designers have their own characteristics on different platforms, and even the color system and design elements are not related to each other and form a system.

This makes the advertising images of the same theme output by the same hospital at the same time present three different design styles, which look like different things produced by three different companies, and cannot convey a unified visual image to the outside world. Reduced advertising effect.

That's why the boss wanted to help me build up my prestige in the workplace. He wanted to bypass Manager Ding and arrange my work directly with me. I was a newcomer recommended by Manager Ding himself at the time, so the boss intended to promote me. She thought that Manager Ding would I readily agreed, but never thought that I would be strongly opposed by Manager Ding, because he was afraid that I would take away the management rights that should belong to him.

So he and I started to play "checks and balances in the workplace". Unable to achieve own management objectives.

After much deliberation, she finally came up with a special solution that surprised all of us.

Her decision was not to go through Manager Ding, but to find talents by herself, and then recruit a stronger and better design director with a high salary to take charge of our three departments.

Those who can be the boss are all ruthless characters. As a woman born in the 80s, her scheming city is obviously much higher than our subordinates. When she started planning to recruit newcomers, she was silent. On the surface He still smiled sweetly at me, was polite and reasonable, and would not forget to call me "Feifei" when we met each other on the road.

Every time I see me put on a new cheongsam, I will be greatly praised: "Feifei's cheongsam is so beautiful today, very beautiful." Knowing that I also participated in the competition, she, who seldom posts anything in Moments, even specially canvassed for me in Moments.

When reposting the canvassing link, she spared no effort to continue to praise me: Beauty Feifei is a talented woman in our company.Please support and vote for her.

The boss' circle of friends is usually very low-key, and he rarely praises any employee by name like this. When I saw that circle of friends, I was once grateful, and the kind and talented girl reminded me of my high school. Mentor: Teacher Ling.

They are also not a few years older than me, they also appreciate me very much, and they are also kind and gentle to me like a big sister.

As a person, I can't see teachers and leaders treating me well. The more gentle and friendly they are to me, the more energetic I will be when I study or work.

Our boss also seems to have seen through my inherent strong sense of responsibility and incomparable loyalty to friends and confidants. Before the new design director was in place, she had always treated me very well.Especially when I stayed up all night fighting for various company activities, she always cared for me and cheered me on every time.

In the spring of 2019, the company's large-scale opening ceremony also came to a successful conclusion under the overtime efforts of our marketing department.After the celebration banquet, the boss greatly praised my work performance at the company meeting.

Originally, the company had hired several designers. I heard that none of the designers completely designed the company's sample album during their tenure.

And within a week after I went in, I worked overtime day and night, and designed a picture book with more than 70 pages. The design of the cover and title page was quite brilliant, which was praised by all my colleagues.

On the background of purple halo, I used criss-crossing and three-dimensional superimposed luminous lines to outline the contours of people's faces loomingly, so as to reflect the wonderful and exquisite beauty remodeling skills of medical beauty, and to assist the text deformation design and bronzing process The effect makes the whole album look elegant and refined.

Many teachers and customers couldn't put it down because of this picture album. Originally, only 200 copies were printed, but later it was increased to thousands of copies, which were distributed at various medical guidance desks and customer lounges in the hospital.
