I don’t know if there has been this post before. I shared the survival rules for newcomers in the workplace. 1. Understand the company’s corporate culture. Corporate culture is the beliefs, opinions and attitudes that a company has formed over a long period of time. Some companies will put these into words and compile them into books, including the rules and procedures for doing everything, and even how to dress (a well-known computer services company once stipulated that men could not wear green ties and other trivial matters). Most companies don’t have so much “red tape” or even written rules. In order to integrate into the company as quickly as possible, you must learn to observe and "not be ashamed to ask questions" - because almost every company has a set of written or unwritten "code words" about words, deeds, business dealings, etc. A company's corporate culture often stems from the beliefs and philosophies of senior leaders and reflects their views on management, customer service, the value of employees, and money. Maybe you felt this during the interview, but it will take you several months to truly understand the company's beliefs and principles of doing things. Sometimes, you will also see that the actual practice does not match the "culture" promoted by the company. In the long run, your career satisfaction depends on how well your personal beliefs and values "match" your company's corporate culture. 2. Understand the company’s written and unwritten rules and regulations. You have already seen the company’s written rules and regulations in the employee handbook. Now, the three things you need to understand are: Which rules and regulations are strictly followed and which are not? What are the unwritten rules and regulations? These may set you back in the future, and you may never realize you made a mistake. The best way to learn these "secrets" is to ask your colleagues. Will occasionally drinking beer or liquor at lunch get you fired? When I need to take more than 3 days of sick leave due to influenza, do I need a doctor’s sick leave note? Or how bad should your cough be to convince your boss that you are really sick? All of this you have to figure out beforehand, rather than relying on your intuition. Some unwritten things are about personal cultivation and professional ethics, such as handling personal matters during office hours, personal use of company materials and equipment, office romances, and other personal matters. 3. Think twice about asking for leave. If you need to ask for leave because it involves matters in your personal life, such as doctor's appointments, family events, etc., attitudes vary greatly from company to company. Some employers are very generous, as long as you make up the time afterwards. ； Some companies are very careful about asking for leave. Sometimes, these things are decided by your supervisor. You will eventually find that in order to gain a foothold in the company, you must take as little time off as possible in the first three months. If you are renovating your home or have to go to the dentist, you should do it outside of working hours if possible. Even if you see someone else taking an entire day to attend to personal matters, you should follow this advice. The difference is that you are a new employee and you need to establish a good image that you are dedicated to your work. For many foreign companies, you are entitled to take vacations as soon as you start working, but many companies still want you to take vacations after working for half a year or a year. If you have plans to take some time off during your first year, you should let your boss know as soon as possible. The best time to ask is when you accept the job. Most managers will understand and try to accommodate your need, but they don't want you to ask it suddenly after the fact, which will make them have a hard time explaining it to the HR department. If you must take time off in the first three months, try to miss Mondays. Many managers take Monday's absence * Treat it as leaving early on the weekend. If you don't want to be mistakenly labeled, try not to take time off on Monday. Being late for work is also unacceptable, but different companies have different requirements. Some companies can only be late for 3 minutes, while others can be late for 30 minutes. But for you as a new employee, it’s better to arrive as early as possible
