I work in finance. After graduation, I was hired by a small exhibition company to take charge of the general ledger accounting of the company. Because I am a newcomer, I always want to make achievements quickly, so as to enhance my recognition in front of leaders and colleagues.
It happened that the new value-added tax law was implemented. As I am not familiar with the company and I don't fully understand the tax law, I take the initiative to calculate the value-added tax payable for the company. When calculating the value-added tax payable by the company, I made a big mistake and almost made the company pay less tax. Fortunately, my immediate leader found mistakes during the audit and corrected them in time.
From then on, the leaders directly under me felt that I was incompetent and reckless; Colleagues think that I am eager for quick success and instant benefit just to please the leaders. So, after the three-month probation period, I couldn't stay in the company to continue working, so I had to embark on the road of re-applying with regret and unwillingness.
Through this incident, I understand that when you first enter the workplace, don't rush to show yourself. I want to make it clear about the company in a down-to-earth manner, especially the work I am responsible for, reading more, talking less and thinking more.
If you are not sure, don't come forward. If it succeeds, it will steal the thunder of the old employees and the relationship between colleagues will be difficult to get along with. If you fail and appear incompetent, leaders and colleagues will doubt yourself, which will do no good.
I hope my real experience can help friends who are confused, and I am willing to be a street lamp on your road to success.
