In the trough, people's psychology is at an extreme, and impulsive decisions can easily lead to their own regrets. Therefore, it is particularly important to adjust your mentality and mood.
Think less and do more, and turn time into practice.
There is such a mathematical formula: the life you want = your current state+your time use efficiency x all the time you have.
Instead of lamenting that you have missed success again and again, it is better to set small goals, find room for learning and improvement, explore more possibilities, be curious about new things and make full use of comfortable time.
Analyze and summarize, and turn experience into ability.
Look back at the current work status, analyze the gap with your career goals, make multi-dimensional deduction and evaluation in the problems that have occurred, and see if you can find a better solution, make the previous experience work for yourself, and really learn from it and avoid the "minefield".
Watch and ask your colleagues/friends.
It is a good way for people in the low tide to ask for help when they can't find the crux and solution. Especially as an "experienced person", a coach can not only tell you the crux, but also help you avoid detours and rebuild your confidence in the workplace by sharing your own experiences.
Is there really only a "trough" in the workplace?
One day, while brushing her mobile phone, Li Yu stumbled upon the work of a cutting-edge designer, and her eyes lit up. "The original design can still do this." Later, she found that this new style, which she thought had been popular for a long time, had been obsessed with "walking" and neglected new things.
Now, no matter how busy she is at work, Li Yu spends at least an hour browsing the design website every day to study other people's design ideas. Through continuous learning and communication with small partners in the same industry, Li Yu has a deeper understanding of design. Nowadays, for her, design is no longer a simple arrangement of elements, but a unique artistic creativity.
"The lower the valley, the more you can temper a person's mind." Wang Dongliang said that there is no casual success in one's life, and a lot of valuable knowledge and experience come from your accumulation of overcoming the trough with practical actions.
First, get in touch with people who take up resources.
Communication produces feelings, so you should contact people who occupy resources, especially your boss: I know this should be difficult for marginalized people, because you may be embarrassed, or your boss doesn't like you, but I still hope you can take the time to communicate with your boss or colleagues regularly and talk about work, or if you have important projects, give some advice or come and help, but you must let your boss know. Change the negative impression of you, and think from the heart that you are still available and that you still have some working ability, like a human being. You should move around more, communicate more, help you deal with what you can and participate in some projects. Your importance will naturally increase slowly, and the embarrassing situation of marginalization will naturally be resolved. When we are not reused, we will make more efforts, work more and help more. It doesn't matter if you try harder, at least you can solve it.
Second, constantly improve business skills.
Business skills are the foundation of your company. Any company or unit speaks on its own merits, so you should constantly improve your sense of existence. When you solve problems that others can't solve, your importance and sense of value are self-evident. Therefore, you should always be more proficient in business than others, and you can't lose your business. Because no company will keep idle people, you should highlight yourself from the business and show your value at critical moments. Don't have too many such opportunities. Just show them a few times more, and you will become the core of the company, and leaders will pay more attention to you, because you are an important human resource of the company.
Third, learn to protect yourself.
There will always be some rumors in the workplace, and gossip will be passed around. Invisible, this rumor has become a means of attacking you, which makes people feel wronged inexplicably. In the face of these grievances, we should take the initiative to seek explanations, so that leaders should not misunderstand and attack in time. In the workplace, get out, endure or be cruel. As Zhen Xuan said, there would be no Zhen Xuan today without you. For the provocation of our opponents, we should go back to the original shape.
All stages of the workplace downturn
The first is the period of shock and denial. Whether faced with the slow and long-term torture of salary reduction or firing this cruel knife, the first reaction of ordinary people is often no! Is there a mistake? A friend of the reporter went to work happily at 9 am. 10, holding this pink resignation letter, he was escorted out of the company gate by the security guard. My mind was blank. He said this. This reaction will naturally pass, and it is generally not handled. Professor Jin believes.
After that, people will enter the second stage: anger or injustice. According to the degree of being attacked and personal tolerance, people will complain, shirk their responsibilities and even attack to varying degrees. Professor Jin believes that at this time, friends and relatives around him should be good ears to help the parties to vent their emotions reasonably and avoid bitterness or resentment.
The third stage is bargaining. Now many changes are mostly due to the overall consideration, so it is most wise to support the boss's decision and let him go. Professor Jin said.
The fourth stage entered a period of depression. For a series of symptoms of physical and mental depression of frustrated people, no matter the parties or relatives and friends, they should not force him to continue to be brilliant immediately, but give him a rest period and a cooling-off period to let his emotions have a natural outlet. Of course, this does not mean self-isolation, but to communicate with people more, get close to nature, and spend the low point of your career with the mentality of enjoying a long vacation. But if it's still like this after two or three months, you should seek professional help.
Finally, the acceptance period. At this stage, the victim can actively prepare for a comeback. China people love face, and if they want to seek development in an extraordinary period, they must be degraded. Professor Jin pointed out in particular that even if he is promoted from manager to cleaner, he should do it and do it impressively.
Different people should
In-service employee
Complete your work with a positive attitude 100%
When the financial tsunami struck, the layoffs of enterprises made people panic, and employees on the job were thinking about how to spend this winter safely every day. The consultant of Tianwang Workplace Research Center reminded Ran that we should first do our job well and complete the work with good quality and quantity. In some companies, probation employees were allowed to stay after passing the grade before, but now they have to be excellent to stay, and the selection of enterprises is more strict.
In the face of layoffs, employees should understand what kind of people the enterprise wants to lay off. The answer is to lay off those who are not irreplaceable, and employees should prove that they are irreplaceable. Pay attention to two aspects: 1 and work performance. Finish the work well and prove your ability through performance. At this time, don't be lazy and don't be clever. 2. Work attitude. Attitude is a very important aspect of enterprise examiners. Attitude determines the learning ability of employees and the degree of integration into the team, so employees should show a positive work attitude.
In addition, Ran pointed out that on-the-job employees should never participate in discussion and speculation, let alone become a rabble, especially at the end of the year, let alone rush to the boss with colleagues to ask for a raise. At present, many enterprises are worried that there may be some discussions within the enterprise. Don't take part in these discussions, especially don't spread gossip.
In the case of good external conditions, a survey of human resources once showed that the most disgusting behavior in enterprises was gossiping behind their backs and spreading gossip. For example, XX Company got a salary increase, but ours didn't. I heard that XX is going to be laid off, so don't create and spread some bad information. This may not be realized by everyone, but it is also a topic that everyone often talks about. We should avoid the spread of these topics. Tell Ran.
Jia Xiaodong, Executive Dean of the Management Research Institute of Peking University Zongheng Management Consulting Co., Ltd. and a well-known domestic performance pay design expert, also said that employees who are currently in fixed jobs should make their work perfect and minimize defects in this sensitive period. Many enterprises, even if they create posts, also adopt the way of elimination from the bottom. The development of enterprises is mainly concentrated at both ends. One is that excellent employees 10% will be rewarded, and the other 10% will be eliminated, while 80% of the employees in the middle are not very interested in the human resources supervisor, so try not to fall to the last 10% because this group is the boss and the human resources supervisor.
Crisis post
Clarify and affirm your own value.
Jia Xiaodong pointed out that during the development of an enterprise, there is a connection between enterprise value chain and business process. The fixed posts of an enterprise refer to the main chain in the business development chain of the enterprise, including R&D, sales, logistics and after-sales posts, which are the core posts in the enterprise that will not be marginalized. Relatively marginal positions are: administration, human resources, finance, office, strategic planning department, planning department, etc. In the enterprise value chain, these jobs are relatively dangerous.
Consider how to enter the main chain of the enterprise and make your position more competitive. If you are not in the main chain, your knowledge reserve and ability do not have the conditions to win others, and your position may be dangerous. Jia Xiaodong said that if you don't want to be fired, you must cultivate your irreplaceability. Make yourself irreplaceable in the enterprise. If you leave, the enterprise will not adapt, or there will be a transition period of compensation period. This is the irreplaceability of employees.
In this regard, give advice to such groups. If you have realized that your position is in crisis, you can browse some recruitment information in advance and be mentally prepared. In preparation, a very important part is my work experience, especially what important things I have done in the past two years. Let's talk about Ran first, so that we can deal with the following situations: there are two kinds of layoffs in the company, one is really incompetent, which is the price you paid for not 100% efforts before. Another kind of people is that the company is still hesitating, and the company will think that such people still have certain value, but in the face of the current economic situation, they have to consider reducing costs, and it is very painful for the boss to make a decision.
At this time, perhaps employees can pull themselves back from the line of life and death, mainly by work performance. The boss won't be laid off immediately, but he will have a conversation, in which employees will have a chance to fight for it. Ran said that in the conversation, fighting for a position for myself is mainly based on my work performance. The core is what I have done for the company, and what benefits has this brought to the company? That is to say, what I have done, what I have achieved and what benefits I have brought to the company. This is not the same as job hunting. You can't emphasize your learning ability and what will happen in the future, because at this time the boss is concerned about whether you can survive the economic crisis. Take out the real knife and gun and prove yourself that you can do it. When talking about this issue, we should be firm, clear and confident and express our values clearly.
In addition, if you want to leave your job, employees will compare the target job and experience, and put part of their abilities in their resumes for the target job, so as to improve the efficiency of job hunting and help job seekers have a clear goal. Writing a resume for the position saves a lot of time wasted writing your own resume.
Such people should search for relevant information in time and make their own summary, especially what they have done in the past two years, in case of emergency.
Laid-off workers
Get employment as soon as possible, but don't be blind.
Ran believes that if possible, those who have been laid off should be re-employed as soon as possible. Many people have this idea. At the end of the year, there are fewer recruiting units. I'll adjust first and look for it next year. This is not safe enough at this time. Because the employment situation next year is still unclear, it may be worse than it is now. At that time, there will be fewer employment opportunities and more laid-off people.
In addition, employment is more important than choosing a job at this time. Ran's analysis pointed out that many people have expectations for their career development after having work experience, which is different from taking the initiative to quit. Active job-hopping is to make your career develop in by going up one flight of stairs, but now it is passive. Now we can at least ensure the continuity of their career, reduce the requirements for positions and salaries, and maintain the salary level equivalent to or slightly lower than their original level. However, it is very unwise to work for the sake of work and cross-bank employment. Lower your expectations, first take employment as the basis, and then consider re-employment after going through this trough.
In this regard, Jia Xiaodong stressed that we should not blindly seek employment. Blind employment will lead to the disadvantages of being hungry, and the direction of your re-selected work development is very different from your hobbies and professional expertise. In addition, it is easy to lead to a low starting point and affect future development. Blind job-hopping, second employment, not worth the candle.
Jia Xiaodong suggested that if employees are fired, they should be prepared. You can find a suitable job while charging for a short time, such as through training and study.
The adjustment of mentality is a crucial point for professionals to remind such people. Confidence and enthusiasm are very important. Don't lose confidence in yourself because you are laid off and continue to look for a job.
Ways to get through the downturn in the workplace
(1) straighten your mind and reshape yourself. If you want to get out of the underestimation in the workplace, you first need a positive attitude, you can't escape, you can't break the jar. Living in a daze is just a waste of time. No matter what glory you have won or what position you have held, you must look ahead if you want to get out of the trough. Maybe you care about other people's eyes or comments, but it's not necessary. The essence of the workplace is vanity fair, so we should take it lightly. Few people really care about you. Those gossips about you will be replaced by other people's news for a few days at most. (2) communicate actively to find the root of the problem. Any problem will have a source. If you want to find a solution to the problem, you must find out what is the root of the problem and then solve it. Another important point is active communication. Many people like to wrap themselves up when they are in the trough, and don't want to contact anyone or attract others' attention. However, to solve the problem, only active communication is the most effective. (3) Improve yourself and build your own core competitiveness. Improving one's own ability is the foundation to solve all problems. In addition to external reasons, it may be related to their low ability. Therefore, in this period, we should exercise our abilities as soon as possible, analyze our shortcomings, and practice our internal strength in a targeted manner. In addition to making up for shortcomings, it is more important to build your own core competitiveness. Make yourself an indispensable role, so that you can control your own destiny and others will consider your feelings. (4) Make more friends and expand contacts. In fact, this should be done before the workplace trough comes. Usually, it is very helpful to communicate with friends, make more new friends and exchange some work experience or methods with each other. The so-called study without friends is ignorance. Maybe they can help you when your career is at a low point. Talk to everyone and listen to what everyone is doing. Maybe you can find new opportunities. Maybe they are not as good as you. You can find a little confidence.
