At the age of 25, we are ignorant. We only started to discover the cruelty of society when we stepped into the workplace. The real challenge is just about to begin. In the workplace, everything is realistic. No one will show you courtesy. There are all kinds of people who have their own ulterior motives. How do we gain a foothold in the workplace? A 35-year-old senior tells you about 5 workplace advices to let you survive in the workplace!
▼ Maintain a Distance From Your Boss and Those Higher Than You In Position
“Keep your distance” here is not to tell you to ignore, talk, or be unpaid, but to avoid “deep friendships” with your boss or someone with a higher position than you. This is because when the other person is not familiar with you, they usually don’t dare to be cheeky to come to you for help, just like when you face your friends or family members, do you feel more troubled by them to do things for you, or speak regardless? That’s because you’re so familiar with them. We will be more polite in the face of strangers, and your boss is not afraid to have stronger words against you in words. Therefore, keeping a distance from others is a good protective, at least they will not stuff some inexplicable things to you.
▼ Don’t Resign At Every Turn
In the face of unsatisfactory work, a colleague makes you feels bad, or the boss’s incomprehension, pressure and helplessness, there will always be the thought of wanting to resign, that’s human nature, but don’t leave your job because of anger. If you resign at every turn, your boss will have less trust in you. Even if he keeps you now, maybe he is already thinking about how to pave the way. After all, he already knows that you have such an idea, unless you are really well thought out that want to resign, or absolutely not as child’s play! Besides, at your next job interview, the interviewer will absolutely ask you why you quit and will be less impressed with you if they see that you’ve been at each job for a short time!
▼ Don’t Let Kindness Become Weakness
We have always been learning to be kind. We, who originally had a heart of innocence, also insisted on the idea of being kind when we first came to the workplace. Unfortunately, being kind in the workplace seems to be a person’s weakness. Over time, you will find that kindness does not work in the workplace. It is too kind, and colleagues around you will spot your weaknesses, push everything to you, and take your kindness for granted, and even bully you, even if they are the ones who made the mistake, but know that you have a good temper, and they blame the mistake on you.
▼ Don’t Take Credit For It
In the workplace, you have to show your talents in a timely manner, but you must not be too sharp. You must know that the office is a place full of contradictions, and so is your boss. In fact, bosses want to hire employees who can do a dozen and are very smart and competent, but subordinates who are too capable will threaten the boss’s own status. Therefore, rather than for yourself, you must strive for the greatest rights and face for your boss, because the boss is good for you, and in meetings, you must know how to express opinions while not refuting your boss too directly. Pay attention to the words.
▼ Nothing Is Free In This World
Remember, the workplace is a place where you trade your labor and spirit for money. There is no free lunch, and there is no so-called unfairness. That’s why the wages are different and it becomes a secret that cannot be said between employees. Don’t think the boss is biased, there must be a reason why someone is paid more than you, the boss will never give more money to anyone for no reason, how to save costs has always been their aim, so it is definitely worth it to take such a high salary.
