Although most people are in the workplace, how high is their workplace EQ? How many people manage to get along well in the workplace, and how many of their work achievements are actually known to their bosses? How many people would voluntarily tell their boss about their performance, just so that their efforts won’t go to waste? Inform the boss of your performance. It’s good to be modest, but excessive modesty can come across as arrogance; such modesty will keep your passion for work from thriving… Analysis: In a company with a well-structured management system, employees don’t have to worry about their supervisors or bosses not knowing what they are doing. Because the company has a highly detailed division of tasks among its employees, each person has their own responsibilities and duties to carry out. Under different management systems, managers and supervisors regularly organize brief meetings (or use email) to have employees report on their work progress. And if you unfortunately end up in a company with poor management, you can only accept bad luck. However, you have a choice: to keep working unnoticed, or to become a \"Sun Wukong\" (able to transform in 72 ways at any time to become a versatile figure in the workplace)? But there is a prerequisite to this: you must be capable and have sufficient work performance; otherwise, you will only incur the dislike of your colleagues, and your boss’s favor will also diminish as they come to know you better. Someone once said: When you first step into the stream of society, you are like a stone with sharp edges and distinct corners. Gradually, you are washed away and polished by various \"encounters,\" until you eventually become an extremely smooth pebble. In fact, all of these ultimately come down to being human beings; we cannot expect society to change for us, so we can only force ourselves to adapt to it. Strategy: Keep the boss informed of one’s achievements, which requires us to divide companies into two categories – those with excellent management and those with poor management. Of course, different approaches and methods are needed for these two types of companies. You, workplace scoundrel, stop right there! They say, “In the world of business, how can one avoid suffering setbacks?” Whether you are a newcomer to the company or an experienced professional, everyone hates having their efforts stolen by others; so listen to what others have to say. Miss S: It’s frustrating to have one’s efforts stolen from you, especially when it’s by your own supervisor. I can’t go up the hierarchy to explain the situation, so I have to endure the oppression from that \"despicable person\". Perhaps people will wonder and ask, “Why don’t you change jobs?” ”Yes, my feet are on me, and I want to walk; no one can stop me. But as a stranger, it’s not easy to find a job in such a big city. Miss S’s decision: I am just a junior assistant with limited experience; even if I change jobs, I would still be an assistant, and the same problems might arise. Moreover, my current company offers excellent benefits and good prospects for career development. After careful consideration, I decided to stay. It’s possible that I’m generally quite popular, and everyone feels sorry for me, so they ask me to tell the boss the truth. But as a newcomer to the workplace, will the boss trust you? Reporting bypassing hierarchy is not necessarily a wise move. During a meeting (while my boss was on a business trip), the manager praised me in front of everyone for my excellent performance on this project; it was also a hint that he knew who the real hero of this project was. This made me, as a newcomer, very excited – as a new employee, one really hopes to receive recognition from the boss. Mr. A: Although I haven’t encountered a situation where someone stole my credit yet, if that were to happen to me, I would first assess my own abilities. If my skills are on par with those of such a person and if that person doesn’t have a close relationship with the boss, I would explain the situation to the boss via email, while also being honest about my intention not to change jobs. I would then wait to see how the boss handles it before deciding whether to stay or leave. On the other hand, if the boss and those ‘villains’ are old acquaintances, then I’ll have no choice but to find another employer for myself. Strategy: Vulgar people will always be around, but they are also smart. The sensible approach is to think in the long term; rather than engaging in conflicts with them, it’s better to be more magnanimous. The “star” employees in the boss’s eyes Perhaps everyone in the workplace can guess what kind of employees a boss would value, but it’s a question without an answer. Why is that said? There isn’t just one boss in the world, and the personalities of each boss also vary greatly. Different bosses have different principles for hiring employees; it varies entirely from person to person. Analysis: In most organizations, there are some “star employees”. They may be well-known \"superstars\" in the industry, or young managers with the potential to reach senior management positions, or outstanding business experts. Generally speaking, they are those who make the greatest contributions to performance, and the future of the company often lies in their hands. Strategy: So everyone just needs to be themselves; there’s no need to try to guess what the boss is thinking. One should treat colleagues, work, and the company with sincerity, avoid flattery to please others, and work hard using one’s own skills to contribute to the company. One day, such a person will surely become a \"star\" employee!
