Thick black school

Chapter 91
——The middle game in the workplace, thick black unspoken rules
Concentrate on being a younger brother and cross the entry gate.
[Zongwu Mantra] People's skin is originally thin, but it gradually thickens as it is tempered slowly.

Stepping into the workplace to participate in work is the first step in your career.How to take this first step is of great significance.Students who have just graduated from university are full of ideals for society and career, full of vigor and energy, and have high self-esteem. They want to express the knowledge they have learned in college and make some achievements.This kind of thinking is beyond reproach, however, ideals are ideals, reality is reality, and there is a gap between ideals and reality.Once you enter the workplace, you will encounter various problems that you have never encountered before, and you will encounter all kinds of unexpected troubles.

"If you don't want to do small things, you can't do big things." This is people's evaluation of college students who have just entered the society to work.College students lack work experience and social experience. When they first enter the society, they are uncomfortable in many aspects. This is normal.Due to the disadvantages of existing education, the knowledge acquired by college students in school is out of line with the actual job requirements. When applying for a job in a company, they will appear very unfamiliar and give people a feeling of superiority.On the other hand, college students study for a long time, have little contact with people, lack some experience and wisdom in life, and are not good at getting along with others. When they enter the society, they often have tense interpersonal relationships.

Therefore, at the beginning of your work, you should abandon the wrong mentality of being arrogant and ambitious, put down your figure, be a low-key person, be a younger brother in the workplace, and humbly ask experienced workplace "veterans" for advice, and ask all kinds of people who are more experienced than you. Ability to ask for advice.By doing so, you will gain a lot of useful things, including work skills and skills in the world. In this way, you will be able to grow rapidly, avoid those "stumbling blocks" that stand in front of you at the beginning of your career, and lay a solid foundation for your future career. Lay a good foundation for the career path. The so-called "three years for a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law" is the truth.This is also the first lesson that the workplace thick black school tells you to take when entering the workplace.

Xiao Su, with a doctoral degree in computer science, is now the technical director of an IT company. Behind this enviable position, there is actually hidden the bitterness of Xiao Su's job hunting.Who would have imagined that when he first graduated with a Ph.D., he also spent half a year "squatting at home". Even if he joined the company later, he was just an office assistant and chore boy.

At the beginning, when Xiaosu was looking for a job, she held the tenet of not going to non-Top [-] companies and not going to non-management companies, which led to rebuffs everywhere in her job search. As a result, she lost her job as soon as she graduated and stayed at home for more than half a year.During this time, almost all of the Ph.D. students went to work. Although their income did not meet the standard set for themselves, "it is better to have a certain amount of work accumulation than to 'squat at home'." A former classmate My friend warned Xiaosu, "You, don't think about yourself as a doctor all day long. If you don't do this or that, you have to let the company have a chance to get to know you first, and know that you have real talents and real learning."

One word awakened the dreamer, and then Xiao Su adjusted her mentality and simply put away her doctoral degree and only took out her undergraduate degree. As a result, she was quickly hired by a computer company and asked him to do some simple computer operations.Of course, because he is a newcomer, the boss also asked him to handle some office chores and asked him to assist other colleagues to complete some projects.In this regard, Xiao Su has no complaints. The salary that the boss gave Xiao Su was slightly lower than that of ordinary undergraduates.But Xiao Su is very serious about his work. Every time he works overtime, he will always be found. After a few months, everyone in the company likes him very much.

In the half-year company summary, Xiao Su found some errors in the company's internal procedures and raised them to the boss.The boss's eyes are discerning, he was promoted and allowed him to enjoy the treatment of a college student.Soon, the boss found that his programming and management level was obviously higher than that of other managers and professionals in the company, and he felt very strange.At this time, Xiao Su finally showed his doctorate cards. The boss was surprised at first, blaming himself for being overqualified for so long, so he decided to hire him with a lot of money and let him be in charge of the business operation of the whole company.

360 lines, every line is the best, and there is no distinction between high and low jobs, so at the beginning of job hunting, there is no need to artificially raise the threshold of employment because of face problems, and hinder your own work.

Some elites in the world, including some big-name figures in politics, business, education, art and other circles, were engaged in grassroots work at the beginning, assuming some inconspicuous roles, but they can put down their faces and humbly ask the people around them for advice , and eventually become famous, from an obscure professional person to a dazzling professional star.Today's world-renowned Microsoft president Bill Gates has also been a "little brother" in the workplace.

When he was still studying in Lakeside Middle School, 15-year-old Bill Gates formed an enterprise with his good friends Paul Allen, Kent Evans and others, named "Lakeside Programmers Group (LPG)".Gates started out as a fringe figure in the LPG, but quickly proved his worth.Soon, LPG ushered in a programming contract, and Gates got 4/11 of the profit.This can be regarded as the beginning of Gates' career.

LPG lacked computers at the time, and Gates and LPG members went to a computer company every afternoon, and when the company staff left the office after work, they flocked in.Gates compiled the problems they found into a book and named it "Problem Report".In more than half a year, this "Report" has become a 300-page manual for use by professional programmers in computer companies.

Gates' love of computer programming got him into big trouble.For the thrill of a challenge, he passed a password-protected level to access a company's financial information.This method is similar to today's computer virus.Soon, the incident was discovered, and Gates received a stern warning.His parents ordered him not to touch the computer temporarily, and Gates had to obey, and vowed to leave the computer for at least a year and "be a normal person" again.This setback made Gates realize that technology is not omnipotent, and it must be made to meet social values.

Later, LPG disbanded, and Gates entered Harvard University.At this time, he has noticed that computers are developing toward miniaturization and personalization, and he really wants to start a microcomputer software company, but the time seems to be premature, so in the summer after the end of his freshman year, Gates came to Boston, and Alan Working together at Honeywell.

In January 1975, Allen found a popular mechanics magazine on a newsstand, and the cover was "MITS Alta 8080", which was the world's first microcomputer, comparable to commercial computers.Allen bought the magazine and rushed into Gates' bedroom excitedly...

"MITS Alta 8080" is not the ancestor of the microcomputer, it has no display, no keyboard, only switch control board and on and off lights.Although not useful for a while, it has captured the imagination of the masses and is very popular among electronics enthusiasts.At the time, all programs were written for big computers.In order to be the first to write programs for this microcomputer, Gates and Allen called Ed Roberts, the founder of MITS, and promised to provide a computer program that Alta could use.

Roberts replied to them: "Whoever writes the program first gets the job."

So, the two immediately started working.In the beginning, their slogan was "a computer on every desk and in every home".The problem was that they didn't have a computer to debug the program on, so they tried to figure out how Alta worked from descriptions in magazine articles and simulated it on Harvard's computers.They worked day and night for two months, and a simple programming language BASIC finally took shape.

Gates exclaimed excitedly: "That is the coolest program I have ever written." He even claimed: "The first page, the second page, the third page of the program... are all vivid in my mind, it seems to be right in my memory." In front of you." This year, Gates was only 19 years old.

On April 1975, 4, Gates and Allen finally founded a software company - "Microsoft". When "Microsoft" was founded, its main business was attached to MITS. Gates, a young boss, still has a long way to go.Everyone knows what happened later: "Microsoft" changed the world, and the young man became the richest man in the world.

There is no free lunch in this world, everything you do has a price.Of all the costs, one must be paid, and that is time.If you come to a new company and just get started, you think you have a firm foothold, or even that you are irreplaceable, it is tantamount to nonsense.

Anyone who wants to achieve success in his career must first pass the level of the "little brother" in the workplace. Even a person like Bill Gates who combines technology, hard work and business acumen also starts from the "little brother" in the workplace, step by step. step up to the pinnacle of his career.As a leader in the wave of informatization, when Gates shared his successful experience with young people all over the world, he did not emphasize too much on knowledge or skills, but encouraged young people to adjust their mentality, put down their faces, and learn from cumbersome things. Start with small things, start with humble work.One of the most useful advice he gave to young people is: When you are just a "little brother" in the workplace, don't always think of yourself as a "big boss".

As the saying goes, "a good start is half the battle".When you leave school and enter the workplace, what should you do in the face of unfamiliar people, unfamiliar environments, and unfamiliar businesses, so that you can adapt to the new environment faster and better, pass the anxious period at the beginning of employment smoothly, and move towards a more stable career? High career peaks to climb?The following methods can help you.

1. Learn to adapt to the company culture.Each unit has its own unique corporate culture, and as a newcomer in the workplace, there is a process of gradual adaptation.It is to overcome the loose habits developed in college and abide by the rules and regulations of the company.

2. Quickly enter the state.Every boss wants newcomers to perform quickly.You have to work overtime and even take work home to finish.It's also a good idea to ask colleagues for help.

3. Be open-minded and ask for advice from those around you.When you first enter the workplace, everything is new, and you will definitely encounter many difficulties in your work.You should urge yourself to quickly enter the role. When encountering a problem that you don't understand, you might as well say "I don't understand" or "I don't quite understand", or ask experienced old colleagues for advice.

4. Talk less and do more, start small.Be a caring person, start with the most basic cleaning, organizing files, answering the phone, and do some auxiliary work for the leader or other colleagues, such as printing materials and filling out some simple forms.

5. Build good relationships with others.If you want to create a favorable communication environment for yourself in the new environment and bring yourself an ideal communication status, the best way is to cultivate your own unique communication charm and show your own unique communication style.

Thick Black New Mysteries

As a new employee of a company, limited by qualifications and experience, it is difficult for you to occupy a high position and get a high salary from the beginning, and everything goes smoothly.Perhaps for a long period of time, you were sitting on the "bench", doing some trivial work, earning the minimum salary.Not to mention suffering, you may also be angry with your boss, and feel deeply wronged by your boss.All this is normal, because for newcomers in the workplace, all colleagues, work and environment are unfamiliar to you, which requires you to have a mentality of starting from scratch and a learning attitude , Let go of your own face, fully respect the opinions of colleagues, no matter how old or young the other party is, as long as they come to the company before you, you should humbly worship him as a teacher. "If you don't go through a lot of hardships, how can you get plum blossoms and zinnias", if you aspire to become a star in the workplace, then you must start with the younger brother and survive the level of the younger brother in the workplace, even if you sit "cold" for a few years Bench", and don't despair, you have to stand up and wait patiently for the belated "sunshine".

If you are too smart, you will be jealous, learn to bow your head before you can raise your head
[Zongwu Mantra] Generally speaking, if a person who is a leader shows his own ability and expresses his talent, he will suppress the wisdom of everyone... Therefore, Han Fei warned the leader: "Get away from wisdom and be wise, go away from virtuousness and be wise To be meritorious, to be brave and to be strong."

In the workplace, there is such a kind of self-esteemed person: they are full of vigor and sharpness, they are relentless in dealing with things, aggressive in dealing with others, and they are very talented and intelligent, so they show it to the fullest.They tend to have plenty of energy, high enthusiasm, and certain talents, and look down on anyone in front of them.This kind of person is often self-righteous and condescending, and if he has a little skill, he feels that he has 72 martial arts, and he flaunts it everywhere.Workplace Thickness Studies pointed out that being arrogant and defiant is a big taboo in the workplace. People who show their sharpness and are too smart often suffer setbacks in their careers, and even lead to tragedies.

Zheng Zhuanggong is about to attack Xu.Before the war, he first organized a competition in the capital to select the first officer.When the generals heard that the opportunity to show their faces and meritorious service came, they were all eager to try, ready to show their skills.

The first item is fencing combat.All the generals tried their best to see short swords flying, shields shaking, fighting back and forth.After rounds of competition, 6 people were selected to participate in the next round of competition.

The second event is the competition of arrows. The six winning generals shoot three arrows each, and the one who hits the bull's-eye is the winner.Some hit the side of the target, and some hit the bull's-eye.The fifth person who came up to shoot arrows was Gongsun Zidu.He is highly skilled in martial arts, young and energetic, and never takes others seriously.I saw him put an arrow on the bow and hit the bull's-eye with three arrows.He raised his head, glanced at the last shooter, and retreated.

The last shooter was an old man with a gray beard. His name was Ying Kao Shu. He had persuaded Zhuang Gong to reconcile with his mother. Zheng Zhuang Gong valued him very much.Uncle Ying Kao stepped forward, took his time, shot three arrows, and even hit the bull's-eye, a tie with Gongsunzi.

There were only two people left. Zhuang Gong sent someone to pull out a chariot and said, "You two stand a hundred paces away and come to grab this chariot at the same time. Whoever grabs it will be the first officer." He glanced contemptuously at his opponent, but in the middle of the run, Gongsunzi Du slipped and fell.When he got up, Uncle Ying Kao had already grabbed the car.No matter how convinced Gongsunzi was, he raised his long sword and came to seize the chariot.When Ying Kao Shu saw it, he pulled up his cart and ran quickly. Duke Zhuang hurriedly sent someone to stop him and announced Ying Kao Shu as the first officer.Both the grandson and grandson hold grudges.

Sure enough, Ying Kaoshu lived up to Duke Zhuang's expectations. When attacking the capital of Xu State, he took the lead in rushing to the top of Xu Capital City from the ladder holding a big flag in his hand.Seeing Ying Kao Shu's success, the grandson and grandson were very jealous, so they drew out their arrows and aimed at Ying Kao Shu on the top of the wall.Another general, False Shu Ying, thought that Ying Kao Shu had been shot and killed by Xu Bing, so he hurriedly picked up the battle flag, commanded the soldiers to charge the city, and finally captured Xu Du.But Ying Kaoshu, who was too sharp in life, ended up being framed.

Ying Kaoshu's tragic end was because he didn't know how to restrain his edge and show off his ability, which aroused the jealousy of his grandson and grandson.

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is a typical character who was killed because of emotion and loss of harmony. He is Mi Heng.In the early years of Jian'an, Mi Heng, who was in his early twenties, visited Xuchang for the first time.At that time, Xuchang was the capital of the Han Dynasty, and there were many celebrities. Sima Lang, Xun You, Zhao Zhi and others were all famous people in the world.Someone advised Ni Heng to make friends with Sima Lang and others.You Heng said: "How can I be with a pig butcher and a wine seller?" Persuading him to pay homage to Xun You and Zhao Zhi, he replied: "Xun Mobai has a good face. If you mourn a funeral, you can use his face to pay homage to him." For a moment, Zhao is a wine bag and rice bag, so I have to ask him to guard the kitchen." This talented man only congenial with Kong Rong, the young mansion, and Yang Xiu, the chief bookkeeper, and said to others: "Kong Wenju is my eldest son, Yang Dezu is my youngest son, and the rest are busy. It's not worth mentioning." This shows how arrogant he is.

In the early years of Emperor Xian, Kong Rong wrote a letter to recommend Mi Heng, and General Cao Cao wanted to summon him.Mi Heng looked down on Cao Cao, stayed sick, and uttered disrespectful words.Cao Cao was eager to seek talent, and in order to buy people's hearts, he appointed him a small official who played drums to humiliate him.One day, when Cao Cao had a meeting of guests, he ordered Ni Heng to wear drummer's clothes and hats to beat the drums in public. However, Mi Heng stripped naked in the public, which made the guests and hosts feel bored.Cao Cao hated him deeply, but he didn't want to ruin his reputation by killing him, so he gave Mi Heng to Jingzhou Mu Liubiao.Mi Heng took charge of the documents for Liu Biao and worked very hard, but soon he offended everyone because of his arrogance and rudeness.Liu Biao was also clever, so he sent him to Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia.Mi Heng was in charge of the documents for Huang Zu, and he did a good job at first. Later, Huang Zu held a banquet on the warship. Huang Zu reprimanded Mi Heng for being rude. Zu was impatient and killed him in a rage.Mi Heng was only 26 years old at the time.

You Heng is quite talented, rebellious and unruly. He originally had a skill, but Ni Heng didn't benefit the world because of this skill.As the saying goes: “If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it;No matter how talented you are, you must remember: don't take yourself too seriously, don't take yourself too seriously, don't think of yourself as superior to others, and don't look down on anyone.It's better to restrain your edge, tuck your tail, and cover up your talent.Everything is too insolent, too aggressive, not a wise way of doing things.A person, especially a talented person, should be able to protect himself effectively and give full play to his talent without showing his edge.

Wang Gang graduated from a prestigious university in Beijing, and now works for a planning company. Wang Gang has strong personal ability and is a capable leader of the company. Several sets of business plans he presided over and planned have brought great social benefits to the company. Some small and medium-sized enterprises I often ask him to help with some image planning and pay him handsomely.
