I live in fiction
Note: This is only a running account, not of any literary value
Today, a colleague with whom I have a good relationship proposed to resign from his position with the leader. I actually feel a little sad about his departure. After all, there are not many people who can communicate with him in the workplace, and some ideological sparks can burst out in the process of talking with him. I had a three-hour conversation with one of the top executives in the product line. The main points are as follows:
- The product line I was working on was going bad. The previous product manager left, and the new one wasn’t up to it.
- The current boss does not like this product line, ready to merge the product line, the time is about next year.
- Because this year’s project is not finished, so we have to continue to recruit people, and then dismiss at the end of the year, anyway, “cheap”.
Of course, he also had his own purpose when he told me this. Some key people in our product line went out to work on their own, but there was not enough staff, so his purpose was to poach me; I was sick on a business trip last year because I had been in poor health. I didn’t take over the job at the time, considering that startups must be tired to death, but I made my own “small calculation” in my heart.
Since product line since is not next year, that is better than take the time to find new job, I may need to introduce myself, I belong to that kind of technology for the development of sensitive, what I could do what project to the company, the business scenario is not very attention, but the technology have their own pursuit, perhaps it is relying on this, this batch of interview technical basically all passed, Finally, I chose the offer from Ctrip, thinking that the product line was going to fall anyway, even if the online review was not very good, it was worth plating a layer of gold.
Then, and my leadership put forward the departure, because now is the time to product line unrest, he was just promoted to product line, vice President, now is the time to his danger, but if you spend this period of time after he went well, so he can’t accept at this critical juncture my departure, and I said ctrip is not very good, he loves me, I asked him, If what the big guy said was true, he had the following response:
- The product line will not be “yellow”, it is a new group of people, will do three-dimensional products.
- Me: I admit that 3D is the future of GIS industry, but the background is CRUD without any growth, which makes me more determined to leave.
- He swore on his life that product lines would not merge.
- He said he couldn’t hire someone and fire him when the job was done.
Conclusion: The big guy has a good relationship with those people who go out to work alone. He is the “undercover” in the company, because they go out to work alone and do the same thing as us. So they spread these rumors mainly for two purposes: one is to poach people and the other is to confuse the company environment and reduce market competition.
In fact, what he said did not shake my mind to quit, but made me want to quit more firmly. At that moment, THE HR of Ximalaya and Ding Dong called me and invited me for an interview. I also thought that I would put it on hold and make a choice after meeting these two companies.
People around me think Ctrip is not very good, and I deserve to go to a better company. I checked the company’s evaluation on “Pulse”, and it was really not good, so I turned down the offer from Ctrip. Of course, I mainly considered the reason of my body, and I felt that my body could not support 995.
After that, I went to Ximalaya for an interview with Ding Dong. The interview of Ximalaya was all about algorithm, I felt very uncomfortable. Algorithm is my super weak point, and I didn’t make any of them. , his answer is: “for the life of more than 5 years project experience in we will see him, the algorithm can be seen that a person to solve the problem”, in fact he didn’t convince me, out of the Himalayas, I feel the Himalayas is a “select scholars for public office” garbage company, then I continue to interview ding-dong.
At the end of the ding-dong, their office environment and the contrast of the Himalayan let I don’t want to face the interview, and went in after hr took me to a small compartment, such as the nearly 30 min before the interviewer to interview, I found that they focus on point and Himalayan, focus on what you use used tools, if you used will continue to ask deep, At the end of the interview, the interviewer said to me, “We will mainly see if you have solved the problem of high QPS and large amount of data. If not, we will test your thinking ability on the spot.”
In their eyes, the problem you solved is worthless to him. If I were a normal person, I would be more determined to go to an Internet company after being stimulated by this. Anyway, I should first try to coat myself with gold, so as not to be looked down upon by these people. The main purpose of this interview in Ximalaya and Ding Dong was to gain that “sense of recognition” :
With my current ability, I can already enter an Internet company like theirs. However, considering my own health, I will not go there after I pass the interview.
The interview hit my ego:
I am a garbage, frog in a well, no one will want me, just do it in this company, idle time to develop the next sideline is also very good.
But, just yesterday the HR of Ding Dong called me and offered 3 noodles, but it was not important.
The next day. That colleague received a call from Ctrip HR, inviting him to ctrip for a second interview, and sent him an online assessment. I knew then that he would definitely be admitted to Ctrip.
The result of the second interview came out, he also passed, he talked to our backstage boss about this matter (he may leave), the backstage boss told our leader about this matter:
Leader: Does his departure affect the project
Backstage boss: Yes
Leader: Do you want to keep him
Backstage boss: Stay
In this way, our leader approached him and offered him a very generous olive branch:
- Give him a 3k raise mid-year (4k if he fights for it) and another 3K at the beginning of next year
- The year-end bonus gives him 4 months salary, and will fight for 5 months for him
- In terms of management, he formed an AB corner with the current backstage boss
- You can work from home and take care of the family
When I heard this, I was shocked, I 3 years in the company didn’t give bonuses to 2 months, I also very gas), and I and he quit when he didn’t throw a olive branches (leadership that day after chatting with me and our background eldest brother said, don’t think I will go, hold me now), but I also wonder, Why would he give a guy he doesn’t know a thing about, just because the big man said he wanted to stay, something even our big man doesn’t have.
My colleague did not agree directly. He told the leader that ctrip should decide whether to give the offer or not. If the offer is sent, he will go there, taking Ctrip as a springboard.
Ctrip eventually sent his offer, and asked him to have to 1 week after induction (actually he interview performance is not good, just a ctrip is the lack of talent recruit him), and the background the boss said, the thing he backstage boss and leaders say again, leadership reply to him: “I’m sure I’ll catarrh, card he 2 weeks at least, such as project almost let him go again”. I think he has let the cat out of the bag. I can take a bold guess that his olive branch will not be fulfilled. He will be dismissed when the project is finished at the end of the year. (Guess only)
Behind him and the leadership of the resignation, the leadership said in the meeting and other free to find him, the results of the afternoon directly carrying a bag on business, the message is not back.
But fortunately, the backstage boss is very nice, and the leader talked about this matter, the leader said: “your person, you see it, anyway, I will not find him”, finally everyone is happy, he also began to walk the process, can also go smoothly to Ctrip “gold”.
So, never take your boss as a friend, you can’t “hold”.
