First, the underlying logic of workplace success has changed, that is, there has been a trend of decentralization.
Your destiny is in your own hands, not decided by the boss or the surrounding relationships. This boss doesn't appreciate you. You can go to another company. Other companies are uncomfortable, so you can start your own business. If you don't succeed in starting your own business, you can also teach online, share knowledge from the media, open an online shop, do odd jobs and so on. There are too many channels to support yourself, and you don't have to look at the boss's face.
Second, now the concept of workplace bosses is more liberated, and subordinates are not "owned by me".
It used to be "all for me", that is, subordinates were my people. Now "employing people for our use" is enough, that is, subordinates can be used by me in stages. Talent is mobile, so is the wisdom of talent. So the boss is much more tolerant of his subordinates. It doesn't matter as long as you can create value and curry favor with me.
Third, people's definitions of success and happiness have also changed, and they no longer rely on external definitions.
In the past, people had to please their bosses and get a promotion and a raise to succeed. Nowadays, people have diversified definitions of success and happiness. You don't need to please your boss or your colleagues, just follow the system. It's very simple. Going to work is going to work, so don't make trouble. After work, you can live your favorite life, enjoy yourself and feel happy and successful. The underlying logic of success and happiness in the workplace has changed fundamentally. As long as you have a strong heart and strength, you can live a high life and live the life you want. Even if he doesn't succeed, as long as he thinks this is the comfortable life he wants, it is also a "way out".
