Don't Use "Workplace Formulas." Create Your Own Internal Order.

The "workplace persona" as a workplace survival tips is not wrong, as a weapon to question everything is not beneficial to their own progress.

Once upon a time, young people entering the workplace had to learn and advance by their own efforts, and on the other hand, they had to rely on "passing on" - relying on their seniors' practical experience and friends' help to get information about the workplace and the industry. Nowadays, developed social networking platforms make it easy for us to get more intimate sharing from strangers.

When you click on a social networking platform, a lot of articles about "career guidance" come to you. There are not only "symptomatic medicine" sharing posts that you want to know the answer to, but also many "forward-looking posts" that are not directly useful, but are enough to arouse interest. The experience of others is a guidebook for the workplace, helping us to avoid mines and effectively bypass the "pits" and "traps" that we may fall into.

However, just as there is no single medicine that can cure all diseases, not every "workplace guide" will be suitable for you. We need to identify rational and useful sharing posts, so that the information can really help us, rather than being "devoured" by the information, binding their own hands and feet to move forward.

Recently, many sharing posts will mention whether newcomers to the workplace need to establish a "persona" in the workplace. The idea of "building a persona in the workplace" sounds new and interesting, and even gives people a sense of immediacy of building a virtual character in real life. For example, in the company to establish a "not to be messed with" persona, so that people around you will not easily "squeeze" you, will not keep giving you work; set up a "I am prone to motion sickness" persona, you may be able to avoid and do not want to go to the office. You may be able to escape and do not like the boss colleagues ride with a car of embarrassment; light up the "family is very good" persona, may be able to prevent that kind of worship high tread low, see people under the dish colleagues casually pinch you; and create a "must go to bed early" persona, may be able to Generously block out any messages from the boss after work, and enjoy the clean private time with confidence ......

Each kind of persona almost corresponds to the situation we often encounter in the workplace, as well as a certain path to solve the problem: the "not to be messed with" persona corresponds to the fear of "white people afraid of being squeezed", and the "must go to bed early" persona corresponds to the fear of "being squeezed", and the "must go to bed early" persona corresponds to the fear of "being squeezed". The "not to be messed with" persona corresponds to the fear of "being squeezed", the "must go to bed early" persona corresponds to the resistance to "unreasonable overtime work after work", and the "well off" persona is motivated by the fear of being despised by workplace snobs. ......

The rise of the new phenomenon of the "workplace persona" is a reflection of the importance that young people nowadays attach to their legitimate rights and interests in the workplace. No boundary working hours, uncomfortable office atmosphere, vicious competition ...... those negative factors in the workplace need to be corrected and improved.

So how to rationally look at the matter of "establish workplace persona", so that the workplace new people really get positive growth?

The original psychological motivation for "establishing a persona" is naturally to solve the workplace problems that plague us at this stage, or to express dissatisfaction with a certain status quo. Compared to other sharing posts that teach you the "12345678" method of solving problems one by one, "building a persona" seems to be simple and easy to do. But can this really be done once and for all?

First of all, if your actual situation and that "persona" has a big difference, then you need to carefully maintain and sustain the persona "not overturned" - this brings additional investment of thought! Is it worth it? Secondly, are you sure that the "workplace persona" is the key to solving the problem at this stage? If the "workplace persona" is what you think it is, rather than what it actually is, you may be wasting your time and progress in your personal imagination.

A young person around me who was starting out in the workplace felt that his supervisor's job requirements were "too new" and challenging after just a short period of time, very different from those who had started out by completing basic, regular tasks. These "new requirements" for him is not difficult to complete, but the heart will be torn: why the same as a newcomer, he has to do complex work? He wondered if he was being targeted by everyone and became more and more insistent on this idea, so he set up a persona of "uncooperative" and "unambitious" as a way of negatively confronting the work that was assigned to him.

Later, the supervisor is keenly aware of the young subordinate's mind, alone and he chatted, only to reveal the answer: it turns out that, in the recruitment stage, the supervisor feels that this young man has the potential to do a new product team leader, they want to let him enter the state early, and gain the trust of other older colleagues. The supervisor said, "Your ability is very good, the workplace is not so complicated, there are problems directly communicate." After untying the knot, this newcomer to the workplace grew rapidly and was promoted smoothly.

Therefore, the "workplace persona" as a workplace survival tips is not wrong, as a weapon to question everything is not beneficial to their own progress.

Professionals pointed out that the "workplace persona" side reflects the "you want to become what kind of person" psychology. Today's workplace, more and more encourage young people to sincerely show their own attitude, style. Every newcomer to the workplace can define his or her own aspirations and expectations, but the ultimate goal is to improve their ability to make a better life for themselves, and to establish their own stable, self-contained and comfortable inner order.

I remember that someone once commented on a workplace reality TV program, "If you can quickly complete the transition from a student mindset to a work mindset, you can be one step ahead of others. What is a work mindset? It's the goal of getting the job done; you need to surround yourself with goals."

Figuring out and growing on the job will never be a "big, cool thing" and you can't get there in a day. The experience and advice of the previous generation is a mirror to assist us in acquiring information, but it should never become a shackle that "dissuades" young people from playing and upgrading, so we can learn from it, but we should not blindly "apply the formula".

We can learn from them, but we can't blindly "apply the formula".
Sincerity, sobriety and diligence are the directions you can always adhere to. On the road to improve professional ability, step by step to find the coordinates of life, to realize self-worth.
