How can one be considered competent and fulfilling one’s duties?

As the title suggests, how can one be considered competent and fulfilling one’s duties? Some time ago, my team leader talked to me, saying that I’m not a competent field worker – I need to report on everything, big or small, and I don’t have the ability to work independently. I’m not going to report to the team leader – am I supposed to report to the technician instead? Or report to the workshop supervisor? According to him, one should handle everything on their own first, and only report it if they can’t deal with it. It can be dealt with; every time there are leaks or problems, those that can be fixed are fixed first and then reported, while those that cannot be fixed are reported straight away... I just don’t understand why it bothers him so much... My colleagues also suggested ignoring what I see and pretending that there are no leaks... But this is a work habit – how can it be changed? The deputy team leader also had something to report; he resolved the issue and was given extra payment. I resolved the issue as it’s part of my duties, something I’m supposed to do… What more is there to say? According to the workshop rules, those working in field operations aren’t allowed to learn how to operate the control system – after all, field operators are the eyes of the control system, while the control system itself is the brain. Without coordination between hands and eyes, one can only act like a bead on an abacus, moving it when instructed… As the team leader said, as a field operator, you still haven’t fully understood the system; otherwise, based solely on your own work experience, you should be able to determine the operational conditions of the control system by observing changes in liquid level and pressure……
Sigh,,, if you want to complain, then complain about your own abilities. As an outdoor operator, when a problem is identified, it must first be reported; only after approval can it be addressed. Because it is unknown whether the potential risks will increase during processing. It is recommended to follow the operating procedures and complete one’s work in accordance with the rules and regulations. In this process, it is important to grasp the principles of the process flow as early as possible, starting with the principles of individual equipment, in order to understand the principles of the entire system. The growth of your abilities represents a reserve of energy that will have the opportunity to be demonstrated. This is also capital; with capital, one can venture around the world and have bargaining power as well. External practice can only be considered the introductory stage, belonging to the junior disciples. It’s impossible not to be bullied, due to the limits of your abilities. . . . . . Treat it properly and complete the energy reserve as soon as possible; wish you success! (A piece of advice from a retired operator)
There is also a proper way to report problems; one can inform the supervisor about what issues have arisen, whether they have been resolved, and if any further action is needed. If the problems remain unresolved, one should present options for the supervisor to choose from, rather than making decisions on their own. There are certain things that do not need to be reported; it’s difficult to determine the boundaries. Those that fall within one’s own responsibilities do not require reporting. As for those tasks that truly require external assistance to complete, one should first try to handle them on their own. Only if efforts prove insufficient can one report to the supervisor for support. One must do a good job within one’s responsibilities; what matters to the leadership are the results, not the process.
I won’t report on it now; aside from affecting product quality, there’s nothing else that can’t be dealt with
What is the format of the report? People in the chemical industry might not like to hear their phones ringing. If communication is done directly via walkie-talkie, control through voice commands may be more easily accepted
Shift work is tough; just keep improving on your own
Try to report the results rather than the process, allowing the leader to make their own judgment
In fact, no one else can determine whether one has fulfilled their duties; only one’s own heart knows for sure. Do more, complain less, gain experience – there will always come a day when you can soar high:D
They’re all trivial matters. My advice is: 1. Learn more*, summarize more, and make sure you are capable of handling your current role. 2. Build a good relationship with the class leader.
