Today's workplace is like a battlefield, either outstanding or out.
No matter what kind of work you are engaged in, as long as you can make achievements in the corresponding post or far surpass others, then you belong to the excellent ranks; On the contrary, even if the job you are engaged in is relatively challenging, you will be replaced and eliminated sooner or later if you lack the fighting spirit and the spirit of learning and exploring.
In the workplace, many people want to make a difference and have more say. The ideal is often full, but the reality is very skinny. Some people are full of confidence and passion when they first enter the workplace, but after encountering some setbacks, they become depressed and have no fighting spirit. But some people are more frustrated and braver. Only after many hardships can they realize their ideals and ambitions in life.
Some time ago, my friend Ye talked to me. She worked hard in a company for ten years. She thought she could always follow the company, but she was fired because of the company's poor business.
Ye Zi said that she would not have been fired. Before that, she was very serious and enthusiastic about her work. Later, she felt that the company was not developing and progress was meaningless, so she became more and more content with the status quo and didn't know how to make progress. I didn't expect the company to be affected by the business and adopt the last elimination system. She was eliminated. The eliminated leaves regret it, but it doesn't help.
Ye Zi was eliminated because she didn't take the initiative to work as she did at the beginning, but developed a muddle-along mentality. Not only do you have no sense of crisis, but you are also too dependent on your employer.
Mencius once said: Born in sorrow, died in happiness.
The farther a person wants to go, the less he can be influenced by the present environment and the external environment, and he can't just covet the present comfort without thinking about the crisis he may face in the future. If you want to change this phenomenon, you must not go downhill. Once you go downhill, only yourself will suffer.
Generally speaking, a person who goes downhill will have the following performances:
First of all, work slowly loses its passion and lacks enthusiasm.
At work, when you slowly lose your passion for what you are doing, you must not take it lightly, which is one of the manifestations of going downhill.
Once you lose your passion for work, you will lack enthusiasm and your work performance will definitely be unsatisfactory. Moreover, the eyes of the masses and leaders are discerning, and your performance will definitely attract the attention of leaders.
Many years ago, I had a colleague who was full of passion and initiative for the first two months, and then slowly lost his passion for work and lacked initiative. I have talked to him many times about his changes, but nothing has changed much. Finally, he lost the chance of promotion. Until now, he is still an ordinary employee of that household unit.
Second, I like making excuses, making excuses.
If you are not a person who likes to make excuses, you must not take it lightly when you gradually like to make excuses, make excuses, or even take the initiative to admit your mistakes. Your behavior may hurt you.
In the workplace, no leader will like an employee who often makes excuses and excuses. Such employees not only lack the spirit of responsibility, but also find it difficult to hold relatively important jobs. If you want to make a difference in your work, you often lack the opportunity to show it.
Third, indulge in short-term success and be content with the status quo.
Success is certainly worth celebrating, but we must set priorities. There are two kinds of success in this world, one is inevitable success and the other is accidental success.
You can be proud of your inevitable success, but don't indulge in it; You don't need to be too serious about accidental success, because the ingredients of success are not only your efforts and skills, but also other factors.
Many people have this mentality. If they succeed, there is no need to move on, so they choose to be content with the status quo. You know, the competition in the workplace is so great that if it stagnates, it will definitely be overtaken and eliminated by the latecomers.
