"If a person has worked in a company for 10 years, but still has not been promoted and raised, the salary will not go up. As he grows older, he feels that he will be dismissed by his boss one day. How should he go in the future? "
Some netizens gave their own answers, and one of them won the approval of more netizens. The answer is this:
"I have worked in the company for 10 years, and I have not been promoted or raised. The biggest problem is nothing more than your own ability. Since the company chose not to let you resign, it shows that you are still valuable, or to some extent, if the company wants to find someone with similar ability to you, it may be cheaper to choose to let you continue working. If you don't want to continue like this and want to make changes, you must learn to analyze yourself.
In fact, this phenomenon is normal in the workplace. I have worked in the company for many years, but my value has not been improved. Although there are opportunities for promotion and salary increase within the company every year, it is not my turn every time.
There is not much difference between working 10 year and working 1 year. The income is unchanged, so I can only muddle along in the company. If you don't have the motivation to improve your value, you will naturally fall into a vicious circle, go to work on time every day and finish what you should do, even if you have a good day.
I am unwilling to be mediocre inside, but the reality is cruel and I have to compromise with myself, which is both helpless and bitter. This dilemma puzzles many people and makes them unable to move. For young people, they should know how to plan their most precious career in the first 10 year, how to quickly improve their value, and make themselves more and more valuable and enter a virtuous circle.
Why do many people work for 10 years, but their value remains the same?
I believe everyone has heard a news before, that is, after 70% people in the workplace have worked for 10 year, their monthly income has not exceeded 1 10,000 yuan, which means that many people have worked for 10 year, but their wages have not changed much. Why?
1, enjoy the comfort zone, dare not challenge, lack of passion and fighting spirit.
In the TV series "Anjia", Xu Wenchang, the manager of a real estate agency, was dissatisfied with the company's salary reduction policy, and a group of people in the store collectively went out to start a business. After weighing the pros and cons, salesman Yu Hualong chose to stay and take over as the store manager. He thought he could embark on a smooth road of promotion and salary increase, but soon a manager was parachuted in from the company headquarters, directly returning Yu Hualong to his original shape and still becoming a salesman of the shop foundation.
Moreover, Yu Hualong, a member of the previous generation who was considered a "traitor", actually had a hard time in the store. He was made difficult and targeted by the new manager everywhere, and he also released malicious words to him. If he doesn't do well, he will be the first to be fired.
As an audience, he had the opportunity to leap over the Dragon Gate, but Yu Hualong chose to focus on immediate interests, unwilling to go out and content with the status quo. This is the status quo of many people in the workplace. Of course, in today's employment environment, pursuing stability may be a good choice, but on the other hand, stability and comfort zone are two completely different concepts, and it is inevitable to expect warm water to cook frogs for a long time.
In the rapidly changing environment, in fact, we can confidently say that no job will be 100% stable in the future. We can't rely on the work itself to reduce the anxiety of life, but to enhance our own value, so as to fundamentally solve the problems such as the reduction of core competitiveness of work, the bottleneck of promotion and salary increase.
Looking forward to the comfort zone within your ability for a long time will not only consume your enthusiasm and passion for work, but also gradually reduce your sense of clarity about career goals. I don't know what kind of goal I want to achieve, I don't have a clear career plan or a clear sense of purpose for myself, just to complete the work that I can't master every day, so even if I work for twenty or thirty years, I still muddle along without any added value.
2, single skills, but not proficient or even authoritative.
A friend of mine worked as an accountant in a company for 8 years. Every time he takes various professional title exams, the company will remind financial personnel to prepare for the relevant exams, which also enhances the core competitiveness of his position. After all, the financial certificate is still highly recognized in the market, and once he gets a certificate like a certified public accountant or an actuary, his salary can at least double in any enterprise.
It's a pity that he started the exam for two years and then gave up. Looking at the people around him, the certificate is getting higher and higher, and he can only do some basic work of reimbursement vouchers and sorting out documents. So even though he has worked in the company for eight years, his salary has hardly changed, because he can only do these things. The more versatile a single vocational skill is, the simple understanding is that the replacement threshold is low and the work is simple. Just find a college student with a related major to train for two months.
If your work can be finished sooner or later as long as others spend time and energy, then you are a manual worker at best.
However, even with manual labor, some people can do their best to show their value. The courier brother in Hangzhou has received a subsidy of 1 10,000 for high-skilled talents. His skill lies in knowing at a glance that the express delivery is sent to that area, which can realize rapid sorting, which ordinary people can't do. This is why few of the millions of courier brothers in the country can get millions of housing subsidies.
Wuhan Postal Administration awarded 36 express delivery employees the qualification of assistant engineers in express delivery engineering, which is also the first batch of personnel with professional and technical titles in express delivery in Wuhan.
In the past, people thought that the threshold was low and they were unable to work as couriers. Now they can also evaluate their professional titles. This is the recognition of professional ability, and it also reveals a message to everyone from the side. Even if your skills are single, as long as you dare to improve your skills, your ability and level will continue to improve, from ordinary to skilled, from proficient to even authoritative, so your value will still increase.
Where there is a will, there is a way; where there is no will, there is a way.
Some people can succeed because they have 100% action power on the basis that one thing is another. No matter what they want to do and what kind of goals they have, they still haven't achieved anything. After they felt that what they wanted to do was basically reliable, they gave it to them. In fact, whether they can do it in a down-to-earth manner is the most important thing.
However, what is often lacking in the workplace is this kind of person with action and execution. Many people like to talk empty talk, talk about a bunch of goals and ideals, and do what they want, but they never do it for these goals and ideals. Even if they have short-term movements, they are still hot for three minutes. You should learn to plan your long-term and short-term goals, and break down the big goals into small ones. With their own actions and persistence, they strive to achieve one of the small goals and finally achieve their own big goals. But the reality is that even though many people have made their own long-term and short-term career plans, they have also made detailed implementation paths, when and what to do, but they always stay on paper and have no real actions.
It is better to insist on doing than to say. The most feared and taboo thing in the workplace is all talk and no practice.
Then, in a limited career, how should I raise my value to a commanding height?
First, choose the right opportunity to jump, and jump higher and higher.
These key time nodes are very important to a person's career.
Working for 8 months is the stage of soy sauce. Unless there are objective reasons, if you leave your job at this stage, you will be considered unstable and impatient by the outside world.
18 months is the lower limit of job-hopping time.
48 months is the golden period of job-hopping. At this time, if you feel that the position and salary given by the company make you dissatisfied, you can actually consider jumping ship.
72 months is the red line of job-hopping. If your salary and position have not reached your ideal level at this time, then this job will only bring you endless troubles and sorrows.
Choosing the right opportunity to change jobs will not only make you jump higher and better, but also help your career development. On the contrary, if you jump ship blindly, it may hinder your career development.
Former colleagues, their department recruited a new employee, and the boss told him to take the new employee for two months. As a result, the new employees still look useless. The most surprising thing is that the salary of the new employee is higher than that of his colleagues, which makes him unbearable. In the third month with new employees, he resigned and moved to another company, and his salary tripled directly, directly surpassing the new employees.
You will find that a person's salary will only be evaluated by market value during the interview. When you make good use of your job-hopping opportunities, you will find that market value measurement is useless at this time, and you can largely decide for yourself. Therefore, choosing the right opportunity to quit is to find a better and more suitable development platform for yourself. In such a platform, your ability can get an equivalent return, and you can move forward with your own real skills.
Second, build the ability to always have a plan B.
My friend Zhu Xiao used to be in charge of sales. Usually the docking customers are the management and middle-level backbone of the enterprise, and the customers are also the backbone elites of various companies.
Because he runs sales, he has been in direct contact with various customers. He observed how those elites with power and influence got into management positions with high salaries through their own efforts, and finally realized a truth in the workplace: if you want to continue to increase value, you must constantly improve your ability to solve problems and become an expert in this field with real things in your stomach.
In order to exercise the professional ability of his own industry and field, he applied to the leader to take charge of a whole field of business. Although he had never had such an experience before and no one taught him, he seized every opportunity to learn from people who were better than himself and his peers. Through trial and error, persistence and suffering, he persisted for three years and finally became a professional.
Later, I switched to the Internet industry, because I had developed a certain ability in the sales industry and had a strong adaptability to various environments and problems. However, the characteristics of the Internet industry are always changing, and it is precisely because of his characteristics in the sales industry that he can calmly cope with and adapt to various new environments when facing the changes in the Internet industry.
From a workplace white to a workplace veteran, no matter what kind of environment you encounter, you can calmly deal with and solve it and have your own alternatives. This is that a person always has the ability to plan B.
The company will never treat people with strength and ability badly, unless your company can't see your ability, what you have to do is to constantly cultivate your plan in your post? B's ability.
Third, lifelong learning, lifelong growth, and cultivating growth thinking.
Self-acceptance of mediocrity but pretending to be decent, not enterprising and pretending to work hard, many people are like this and can't see themselves clearly.
"Lifelong growth" refers to two modes of thinking:
Fixed thinking, they think they can never change the status quo, so they can only paralyze themselves with lies.
Growth-oriented thinking, they accurately evaluate the status quo, look at things with a developmental perspective, and actively seek change.
Those who have worked hard in the workplace for many years, but still have no improvement in promotion and salary increase, and their careers have not developed much. To a large extent, many people think that they can't do it from the bottom of their hearts, thus giving up their struggle.
In order to enhance their own value in a limited time, we must stimulate their awareness of growth thinking and face their career with such thinking.
First of all, you should learn to recognize yourself. You must clearly understand and be familiar with your current professional status, accept your mediocrity, accept your lack of progress, and accept your mediocrity, so that you can find the right way to change yourself.
You should establish a clear consciousness for yourself, "You can't be decadent any more, it's time to change yourself."
Next, the most important thing is to put into action. You should take action step by step, slowly change, learn a skill, start with changing yourself, and start with finding your own strengths and specialties. This will give you a lasting motivation at the beginning and keep you down to earth.
The desire of people in the workplace to continue to add value must be from the inside out and from the heart, so that such changes can last. Growth thinking can help people change their mentality and have more positive emotions at work.
For those who stand still in the workplace or have been going downhill, the most fundamental thing is that they are not strong enough. If you want to be promoted and raised, and want to continue to add value, you must temper your ability.
Focus on one goal and practice deliberately, you can become your own expert, get rid of the limitations of thinking and get rid of mediocre thinking. In fact, everyone can become his own expert and elite, and the key lies in whether he can put it into action and stick to it. In this fast-paced era of life and work, it is not easy to have a persistent personality, and many persistence in the workplace may not be able to see results or get rewards immediately, so it is more difficult to persist.
Can do what Ma Yun said: "Many people believe because they see it, but we see it because we believe it."
It is difficult to persist, but if you can persist, at least you won't regret it.
