How deep are the unspoken rules in the workplace that you have seen? ?Also known as: Dong Fang Shuo (24,000 likes)’s advice for newcomers: There’s never an end to work. Advice for middle management: focus on people, core business, or leadership relationships – pick at least one of these. Advice for those in leadership: Those below you will always see you as an idiot; the more you do, the more mistakes you make. ???My advice for newcomers: if you’re determined to succeed, I encourage you to do so; you can scroll down to read the advice intended for middle managers and senior executives. I want to say to such people: When I first start working, I hope to do my job well. I’m also worried about being exploited by the company. I don’t aim to achieve success overnight; I just want to work my way up gradually, step by step, until I reach a good position and level. I’m not a workaholic; work is just a part of my life. If you are that kind of person, then you must listen to this advice: there is never an end to work. I’m not telling you to be lazy; I’m suggesting that you pay close attention to this issue: learn to balance your energy. First and foremost, accept your own laziness. There’s a sentence I’ve never said publicly. That is, for ordinary people, in terms of this line of work, 2 to 4 hours of intense work per day is the limit. Especially roles that require more mental effort, such as development, product management, and operations. This is my personal experience, and the observations support it as well. If you have been working for two hours in a row and feel your mind going numb, Put aside all that preparation for the college entrance exam and take a break. If you feel tired, it’s not laziness; it’s normal. High intensity, high density, accuracy, and perfection – 3 hours a day – versus a meaningless 10 hours a day; for the company, we prefer the former. It is difficult for the company to accurately assess each person’s efficiency and resilience, and for gathering information on this aspect, we largely rely on the speed at which you complete your tasks. Some employees have been bearing the load on their own; I didn’t notice and kept assigning weights to them. Eventually he could take it no longer; during their conversation he complained, \"Don’t you have any common sense?\" How is this possibly going to be finished? I’m sorry. There are really people who can finish it. In fact, for the same position, the differences between individuals are much greater than you might think. It may seem that everyone is more or less the same colleague, and that salaries are similar in the short term, but in reality, some people work slowly and make many mistakes; they need to be constantly reminded to slow down ； While some people work slowly but make few mistakes, and need to be pushed by deadlines ； There are also those who work quickly and well, allowing others to take a break once they finish their task ； There are also those who are slow and poor at their work, but since they have a good work attitude, more assistance should be provided to them, while reducing the weight assigned to the importance of their tasks. Newcomers always have a particularly naive idea: hurry up, work harder to finish this task, and then take a couple of days off. For middle-level managers, if you stay idle, that means you are causing losses to the company. It’s done now, right? Organize an iterative plan. The iteration plan is done too, right? Standardize and refine it once more. Have the specifications also been sorted out? Let me take a look – what kind of mess has been made here? I’ll push it aside and do it over again. Huh? Xiao Wang, what are you busy with? Oh, I’m about to finish organizing this standard; there definitely won’t be any problems this time. Come on, enough of that; there’s a new job here. Put that aside for now. As for the iteration plan you made, it’s highly likely that it won’t be carried out. Moreover, once you finish your work, some of the tasks that other colleagues are handling should be assigned to you. If he encounters a somewhat foolish leader, he might wonder: 1. Is the work not being done properly? 2. Was the work given to you too easy? 3. Is there a problem with the work attitude? ! It’s terrifying. Once again, there’s never an end to the work. I’m telling you this not to encourage you to slouch at your work. It’s saying that one must carefully allocate their efficiency. Establish a work plan only after ensuring that your energy and mental state are positive and healthy. I once told my employees that their good mental state is also a kind of resource for the company. I’m telling you to rest now; don’t think that I’m trying to be friendly or win you over or anything like that. Taking a break is also part of the work, because I have big tasks to assign to you later, and at the moment there are no important tasks available. Of course, this rule does not apply to positions such as sales that involve commissions. To be continued
