The wind and water turn, and choosing a job is also retro.
Retroism in choosing a job is a wonderful word. N years ago, state-owned enterprises and institutions were the iron rice bowls in the eyes of our parents, and they were one of the few "serious" jobs that made them look good. The stability and guarantee of this kind of work, taking into account the lining and face people wanted at that time, was not only their best career choice, but also encouraged their children to enter the system and become a member of state-owned units and institutions.
However, in the growth process of our generation, state-owned enterprises coincided with the decline. Not only did the employees of state-owned enterprises have a wave of layoffs, but the wages they earned were indeed a bit out of reach compared with those of foreign companies and even private enterprises that gradually grew up in that era.
With the vigorous development of the Internet industry, the big manufacturers represented by Huawei, Tencent and Ali left the treatment of state-owned enterprises to the dregs.
Time flies. The teenager who was covered in clothes at the beginning has become a greasy bald uncle. While earning enough down payment or n suites, they also experienced the social beating of "Work 996, Sick ICU".
Coupled with the uncertainty brought by the epidemic environment in the past two years, and the impact of layoffs in various large factories and small factories, they touched their swollen stomachs and suddenly found that the love of life is Qinghuan, and who they are working for.
Looking back suddenly, the state-owned enterprises that the old parents admired at the beginning were more in line with the human truth of "nothing goes to the Three Treasures Hall". As a result, both those who got off the boat actively and those who graduated passively rushed to state-owned enterprises and institutions, which set off a retro tide of choosing jobs in the old M mouth.
People in the workplace can join this ranks at a certain stage and enter state-owned enterprises from a realistic perspective, which is definitely a direction worth considering, regardless of others. However, after all, there is not enough porridge. How can young and middle-aged people who have no chance to enter state-owned enterprises and enter the establishment manage themselves in the current environment?
Several understandings that must be possessed in today's workplace
1. Young people should enhance their ability to change leaders.
The so-called change of leadership means a change of environment and system. The ability to change leadership is actually the ability to adapt to the new environment and new system. Let me share with you a popular word in recent years, VUCA. This is the abbreviation of four words, representing four States, namely: changeable, unstable, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.
It is also appropriate to describe the environment that people in the workplace are currently facing. In the era of VUCA, the important ability that people in the workplace need is adaptability; One is resilience. A person's adaptability is divided into two levels, one is cognitive level, the other is behavioral level; If you want to adapt to the environment and compromise with the new environment, you must first have a deep understanding of yourself, including your own advantages, your own shortcomings, how to quickly develop strengths and avoid weaknesses in the new environment, constantly play your own value, and master certain initiative.
If you have a clear internal cognition of yourself, you should be able to translate it into external behavior when dealing with environmental changes, and truly put cognition into action, so as to truly realize the complete "transformation" of adaptability, find your own position again and reflect your own value. Toughness, mainly compression resistance and impact resistance, should have basic brittleness resistance and quality. In the era of VUCA, there are no standard answers or ready-made solutions to many things.
In addition to adaptability, we must also have the ability to grope for progress. In this process, it is inevitable to make mistakes or fall into the pit, no matter whether this is called trial and error cost or the price paid. How to face setbacks and failures is the key to measure how far and how long a person can go in the state of VUCA.
In the era of VUCA, no matter what you change, trying to live is king. Adapting to change and full of resilience, all your efforts are not shameful.
2. If you have to lie flat, please lie flat actively.
Kong Ziyun: If there is a way, it will be obvious; if there is no way, it will be hidden. When the big environment does not allow tossing, it is a wise choice to "hide" first. By concealment, I don't mean lying flat and doing nothing. If the customer is not good at developing, I will not develop at all; If no one cares about polishing products, they will not care about product improvement. Instead, you should take the initiative to "lie flat" even if you lie flat.
If the customer is not good at development, he will carefully analyze whether the user's portrait is inaccurate or whether his product has a market. He can not blindly increase the investment in product marketing, but he will never stop researching and improving new ideas and methods to get customers. Similarly, few people care about carefully polished products, which does not mean that we should give up ingenuity. We don't have to rush to start again with great fanfare and investment, but we can't stop studying the functional characteristics of the product, whether it can really meet the needs of users and solve the pain points and problems of users.
These are all positive efforts under the premise of not working hard and not blindly investing.
3. All the talents have left.
The more uncertain the period, the less secure everyone feels and the more they want to make a more comprehensive plan for themselves. Brother k heard from several friends this month that he planned the battlefield and track again. New opportunities and opportunities really need the keen judgment of a willing heart to take the lead. Some people in the workplace have reached a certain stage and really need a comprehensive reorganization and a prudent re-start.
But it doesn't mean that because the objective environment is not optimistic, everyone will throw away what they have and die for an imaginary way out. For many people, persistence may be the best choice. Blowing away the yellow sand began with gold, and most of the pillars of every industry have been baptized many times, welcoming the transfer and hope with scars. At this time, the scars on my body also turned into shining medals.
A friend has been doing research and development of artificial intelligence in the field of new energy vehicles, but his company closed down some time ago. This friend hasn't reflected yet. The headhunter has come to us. A smart home company was willing to poach him with a high salary and options, but this guy finally didn't accept the offer, but chose another car company with a salary lower than this company. He said that he knows where his greatest value lies and where the most valuable industry is in the future. His choice is his persistence and persistence.
It is also a good thing in life to go forward in a down-to-earth way and miss the days when you worked hard.
