It is not work but work methods that will break you down

Do you, who work hard in the workplace and work in a hurry from nine to five, have been under great pressure, and do not know what to do when encountering various difficulties and confusion? At different stages of career development, we will "face to face" with various issues. Don't be afraid. The editor will teach you how to overcome these obstacles.

Internship: New comers often encounter difficulties

For interns who are new to the workplace, the biggest obstacle is the lack of skills, experience and contacts, so that when they want to carry out a job, they encounter obstacles everywhere. Facing the huge enterprise system, the newcomers hope to show their skills and win the trust and affirmation of leaders and colleagues, so they are willing to try everything, and do not want to miss any chance to make themselves brilliant. However, at this time, "novices" can not carry their high spirits, regardless of their business ability or communication ability.

The most important thing for them at this stage is adaptation and learning. First, we should adapt to the "soft environment" of our enterprise. Every enterprise has its own working style of corporate culture. As a new employee, you should experience and understand the culture and atmosphere of the enterprise at this stage.

Secondly, we should adapt to the "norms" of interpersonal communication within enterprises. If the new employees join a large enterprise, they will learn how to communicate with others, how to ask for instructions level by level, how to mobilize resources to complete tasks within the enterprise, and how to arrange work... These are all important lessons for new employees.

Finally, in the process of contacting colleagues in various departments, we should learn other people's handling skills, style and problem-solving ability to improve our strength and increase the chips for retention. Otherwise, we may "fall" in front of the entrance.

New comers: tired of dealing with inertia

After the exciting and fresh internship period, most of the remaining people will officially enter their jobs and become an indispensable part of the enterprise. After working for about two years, the staff can make some achievements for their own work, which will be appreciated by the leaders; Occasionally, some minor mistakes will also be tolerant by the leaders.

At this time, employees will feel good about themselves and think they can do a lot of things. However, limited by vision and experience, the work content of employees has not changed at this time, and most work tasks have no challenges. In the process of repeating their "own affairs" day after day, without fear or danger, they tend to be lazy and neglect their work.

At this time, they actually encountered a bottleneck in learning. If you are not willing to break through your work scope and learn new knowledge, you will easily lose your passion for work. The decline of their enthusiasm for learning has become the most prominent obstacle at this stage, which shows that they pay more attention to work than study. As long as they complete their work tasks, it is easy to have an excuse to delay their learning tasks.

The key for employees at this stage is to concentrate on learning, properly set a learning goal for themselves that can be achieved within one or two years, and start to cultivate the sense of ownership, and take the initiative to take their own responsibility for the development of the enterprise. Be aware that if you don't always improve your ability, you can easily be eliminated in a competitive environment.

skilled: less enthusiasm when arriving at the platform

Most employees are in the stage of steady development within three to five years of work, and will enter the stage of career development platform after five years. At this time, their fresh sense of work has disappeared, and the required working years, professional titles and other conditions for further promotion have not been met; He often complains that he has no sense of achievement in his work and does not know what he is busy with all day long; After just getting married and having a baby, I spent a lot of energy. I can't concentrate on my career as I used to.

For various reasons, their work performance is difficult to make a breakthrough, and they are always on top. Depression and job burnout are the most significant obstacles for employees in the platform period. There are not a few people who seek the help of psychological experts due to poor adaptation to work.

Employees in the platform period may wish to examine the shortcomings of their current work: are they careless? Is the work more difficult than you expected? Or did you not understand correctly when communicating? After determining the crux, take appropriate measures.

If you can't take care of both work and family, you need to meditate on whether your career plan should be adjusted due to your family and whether you should make choices in your career; If the leaders and colleagues are dissatisfied because of frequent mistakes in their work, they should cultivate good habits, learn from excellent colleagues, and strengthen time management to gain more time to improve themselves; If job burnout occurs, it is a good choice to adjust the way and content of work, or communicate with your trusted elders. Although many people will choose to change jobs during this period, they should realize that there will be greater opportunities to persist.

Core: no hope of promotion and bottleneck

After working for 8 to 10 years, some employees will reach the position of middle-level leaders in the enterprise, and their room for further improvement is becoming smaller and smaller, but they are still in their prime and still have certain career aspirations; Other employees, however, have been "standing still" in their original positions for many years. Looking at their colleagues who have come at the same time, they will either change jobs, get promoted and get paid, or directly become their own boss, they will have mixed feelings and will inevitably feel frustrated.

In either case, they all have a common character, that is, their career expectations are not consistent with those given by the enterprise, and there is a psychological state of entanglement and hesitation in their desire to change jobs, promote, and raise salaries. I have many thoughts and considerations in my heart, but I can't say it. I feel very upset. At this time, employees have a great demand for career and salary growth, but the small actual growth space has become the main obstacle.

Therefore, when employees see that promotion is hopeless, they will resign decisively and find another way out when they are young. However, some people will cross this barrier by adjusting themselves. For example, some people will change their coordinate system from "work for themselves" to "work for their families". At this time, their motivation for work is no longer from their own gains and losses, but rather hope to bring positive income to their families through this work. Although their enthusiasm for work is not very strong, they are often those who can persist in their work for a long time.

Senior employee: set an example of professionalism

The old employees who have been working in the company for more than 20 years, whether they are the main leaders or still glowing in the middle of the "pyramid", have new ideas about their work. They will review their past work experience, what gains they have, what regrets they have, and what significance they have done. At this time, how to change the professional attitude and reposition becomes the most important and most needed hurdle.

The most critical personal quality of employees at this stage is their ability to reflect. Having worked in a company for more than 15 years, accompanied by the growth and development of the organization, the employees are also branded with the corporate imprint. At this time, we should understand and appreciate the rewards and trust that the enterprise has given us, and understand that promotion and salary increase are not the most important thing. The most respected work attitude is to be conscientious and adhere to professional spirit.

For ordinary old employees who have not reached a high position, it is particularly important to adjust their mentality. They should no longer care about their positions, but share their insights, feelings and learning with new and old colleagues. Through positive reflection on their career and life course, old employees should understand that the existence of each job will contribute to social development, reduce their complaints about work, and put their energy into enterprise development and new people's education. If you still feel unwilling or resentful, you will only make yourself a "negative person" in the organization, annoying people and affecting the work of colleagues.
