Is it the norm to be optimized without effort?
From the bottom of my heart, I want to talk with you about the topic of struggle. The cause is that a friend was dismissed at this time node, which makes me feel very much.
Speaking, he is an old employee who has worked in a small enterprise for five years. He thought he could retire in a place with low pressure easily. Only the first two years of struggle have anything to do with him, because the work in the department is relatively idle, and these two years can be said to be “one day at a time”.
I never thought this would happen to someone who had worked for the company for five years and showed no emotion.
Five years of time, he also borrowed money to buy a house, but also back the car loan, single he paid the mortgage car loan almost no more, suddenly learned that this news is a bolt from the blue.
Fortunately, I had a little savings and family support before, and now I am looking for a job.
I want to say that it is not practical to talk about love with enterprises. I asked him from the perspective of leadership, if one person must be fired, who will be fired?
He said it was like me…
If someone new came in and made half your salary, doing the same job as you, but working as hard as you did in the last two years, who would you optimize if you were the boss?
He said, it’s still me…
This is not a hypothesis. This is natural selection, the most common practice in the workplace.
It’s sad, I can feel his sadness for what he’s going through, but it’s true.
Earlier, he told me that he was being hung up too much by new recruits. Although he was not convinced, he didn’t bother to fight for those who had nothing. There was not much overtime here, and the work was easy, so he could work day by day.
As a result, it is now so hard to find a job, and few of the older people at Internet companies are not very competent.
Most people equate struggle with helplessness and pain
For a long time, I was still thinking about the meaning of being alive. After such a long time, I spent more time on the planet, working hard, sharing, writing Gitchat, writing blog, taking the certificate of Tencent Cloud, reading, watching videos and learning things, and I had something to do every day. Some friends asked me why I had so much time in a day.
When these things are done together, the growth will be rapid. I will no longer feel confused about the future because of fierce competition and other reasons.
Because I know that if I follow my plan and do it steadily, I will surely reach my big goal. Steady growth gives me a great sense of security. Because of the positive feedback brought by the plan and struggle, I suddenly have a greater desire for the future.
This desire drives me to push the boundaries of my own abilities over and over again.
If work means anything to a person, it is a kind of trade after all.
You work for the company, the company pays you, is the entire source of income for most people, in other words, the purpose is to make money
May be a lot of people just don’t want to work so hard, want to a little more of their own time, money more money less doesn’t matter, but the benefits of money when no money really don’t know.
My family was not well off at first, and I never bought anything expensive since I was a child, which created my habit of saving money. Before I started working, I did not want to buy good clothes, but preferred to buy bigger clothes, and even I can still wear the clothes I bought in high school.
Some old clothes have faded and some have pilling. Once when I went to Wuhan, I forgot to bring my coat. It was so cold in winter that I bought a 1K dress without checking the price. It was really comfortable and never faded or pilling.
Still have namely bought washing machine and dryer machine now, wash 4 pieces on the bed every week, direct drying can be used, sleep every week very comfortable, the blain blain on the back also did not grow again.
Don’t say anything else, said my old dad and mom life also did not enjoy what blessing, now the son life is better, a week to call mom dozen two thousand dollars, although not much, but mom is very happy.
Without money, even filial piety is difficult.
Striving doesn’t necessarily make us rich directly, it just makes us more likely to become rich. But struggle has a benefit that happens 100% of the time. It’s called growth. As you grow up, you will appreciate in value, and whether that appreciation can be well realized depends on your other abilities. There are many friends who have struggled for years to enjoy growth, and the goal is not only material improvement.
Struggle is not a simple hardship, struggle is a state of mind. A willingness to put one’s heart and soul into anything that is even remotely possible.
A fighting mentality will use all the wisdom, resources, skills and emotional intelligence you have in the first half of your life to face problems, and will expose your accumulated deficiencies in the most direct way.
It shows you how strong you are, and it shows you how weak you are.
Looking back at the current enterprise, it also has great development pressure, especially the Internet industry.
You need to keep coming out with a future-oriented new product every two or three years that captures your audience. When the strategic product is not clearly thought out, the enterprise will appear varying degrees of turbulence, and adjusting the organizational structure to deal with anxiety and challenges is the most common action.
As long as the enterprise has a better choice of manpower, it will decisively give up the staff with lower cost performance. No company will hire you because you are “old”.
People do not rely on heaven do not rely on their own. Remember zeng shiqiang said, Chinese people do not need to be grateful, thank enough. Enterprises rely on employees to make money and pay wages, and employees rely on the enterprise to work, but also take the resources of the enterprise to improve themselves.
I’m trying to say how pathetic it would be to be 40 years old and still have to rely on labor laws to keep your job.
And as a technician, I can realize that many skills are becoming obsolete at a faster rate. If nothing else, OpenStack releases a new version every six months and can’t keep up.
If I do not run again, so that they always have the ability to stand on the head of the tide can wade the pit, where to go is not shore.
Dare to push yourself straight from the work level to the end, fight back to the brutal market competition to start again?
Dare to leap from the thinking dimension to a higher level and examine the past accumulation in the fierce business logic how much is missing?
So fight, young man.
Please cherish this big night to go home from work to demonstrate the spirit of struggle guy, quickly change the draft to write thinking of the Internet man! Use your thumbs to help the kids.
