The timing isn’t favorable, so I can’t just leave!!! I stopped working in June 2008 and took some time to rest; by March, I found my current job. Incidentally, I have 5 years of work experience, but it was all wasted – I failed to develop my own theories and only became slightly proficient in a few areas. There’s someone who joined me; they just graduated from university and we work as instrument engineers together. My direct supervisor is an electrical engineer, and people in foreign companies tend to be very impatient. He assigned me several tasks related to instruments, but I didn’t manage to complete them properly, so he constantly mocked me. Of course, there are hardly any people he doesn’t mock. One day he told me to leave again, and in anger I told the HR staff about it; they then conveyed my thoughts to my supervisor. I originally hadn’t intended to stay, which is why I said that! But I wasn’t willing to give up – I wanted to prove myself by continuing to work there. However, a rift was definitely created between us. I kept repeating my mistakes, and he also used other graduates to put pressure on me; this is also my fault – I didn’t take things seriously enough! Moreover, those graduates learn really quickly; I really have to admire that. What should I do? If you’re reading this, don’t forget to leave a comment, guys! Please understand: I won’t give up; I’ll persevere. But what about strategies? Or maybe someone with experience can share some advice with me
To do anything well, one needs to be humble and willing to learn*, to listen attentively to any feedback, and to make corrections where necessary or to use it as motivation； I haven’t encountered such a situation; I can only say that if you really need this job, you’ll have to find a way to resolve the crisis between you and your supervisor ； If you don’t care and can easily find another job, you can just leave.
It’s most important to understand your role properly. As you know, if you fail to complete the tasks assigned by your supervisor, any supervisor would be dissatisfied with you. So, first of all, make sure you understand your role and do everything assigned by your supervisor in order to satisfy them. I think, with your 5 years of work experience, you should be no worse than a recent graduate, right? Don’t underestimate yourself. You definitely can do it!
This is quite difficult. Well, I guess I have to work hard on my own... What should I do? I earn more money than other kids, but my skills are average; it’s probably going to be hard for me to get by like this....
To live happily, one must adjust their mindset and treat work as a source of enjoyment. There are two ways in which smart people manifest themselves: one is by telling everyone that they are smart, and the other is by showing their intelligence through what they do. It’s very difficult for us to find the job or career we like the most, so the only option is to do what we love. The workplace is harsh; speak less and do more, and never underestimate anyone.
I think it’s better to just leave; once a feud is created, it’s not easy to improve things between them. Once a bad impression is formed, it’s very difficult to change it later on; who knows, they might try to create difficulties for you at every turn. Since you have 5 years of work experience, it’s easy to find a job regardless. Although jobs can be hard to come by, they’re not too difficult to find for someone with experience.
Getting into a conflict with your supervisor can indeed affect your future career development. I think you can change jobs after learning everything you can at the company; after all, with your experience, it will be relatively easy to find a new job
You’re still young after all~ If you don’t have heavy family responsibilities, I suggest you learn as much as you can at this factory right now~ Seize an opportunity and give it a try. Next time, I’ll make sure to handle it properly from the start. Don’t push yourself too hard.
You have two problems: first, your performance isn’t outstanding; second, your complaints were noticed by your supervisor. It’s a foreign company, right? Foreign companies focus on performance; if it doesn’t meet expectations, even your supervisor will have to leave. Therefore, it’s somewhat acceptable for capable employees to have a strong temper, and building conflicts with supervisors isn’t as serious as in state-owned enterprises (but it’s still not a good thing – although they may refrain from taking action against you for now due to your good performance, they will definitely make things difficult for you when it’s time for promotions). The key issue now is that your professional skills and performance are inadequate, so solutions must be sought in that area.
Learn first*, improve, speak less. There’s a chance to change jobs.
I have been working for five years now, and it’s time to reflect on the successes and failures of these five years, so as to gain experience and learn from them. Work must be done carefully; every task, no matter how minor, should be completed well, and good work habits should be developed. It’s hard to find a job these days; you might as well talk to your supervisor to clear up any misunderstandings, and then go on to show them some successful results in the future.
I feel the same way; it’s really depressing to be at the company right now, and performance doesn’t seem to improve. But I keep enduring it silently, determined to give my best effort to show my boss!
Be diligent in learning, eager to ask questions, humble enough to learn from others*, and rely on your own efforts!
I think, on one hand, you lack confidence. Fresh college graduates have passion, their own dreams, and they are still inexperienced; their enthusiasm for learning is high because their dreams haven’t yet been shattered by the harsh realities of life. You have 5 years of work experience, something that such people can only dream of having. You can work together with them – they need experience, while you need motivation and a clear direction, rather than arguing with your supervisor. Regardless of whether your supervisor is competent or not, everyone has their temperaments; those without temperaments aren’t proper leaders. You should position yourself correctly, focus on your daily tasks, utilize your professional skills, and tap into your professional potential. Wherever there are people, there is pressure – learn to handle it subtly; some issues can be resolved well outside of work. Build confidence and give yourself more encouragement. The key is to have clear goals, identify areas for improvement, and enhance your professional skills – this is very important. I wish you success in managing relationships at work and happy working.
1. Do you like your current job? If you like it, then do it. Otherwise, leave. 2. Do you want to achieve something in your career? If you want to, then stay and work. Otherwise, leave. 3. Do you possess the grace to remain calm under pressure, to be patient and unperturbed by external circumstances? If it’s there, keep it. Otherwise, leave. 4. Do you have a strong mental resilience, and can you handle rejection and setbacks? Have it for retention. Otherwise, leave.
Improving one’s professional skills is key; five years of work experience surely won’t be in vain
If you really don’t want to give up and must persevere, there is only one strategy: play it subtly! When being taught, you turn a deaf ear and secretly work hard to learn*, then seize an appropriate opportunity to show off your true skills, breaking others’ negative impressions of you – and maybe even taking advantage of that situation!
I just got back from work, and I was greatly inspired by the opinions of all of you, fellow netizens!! I feel that I now have a clearer understanding of my work responsibilities. Once again, I sincerely thank you all for your feedback!! Thank you very much. I really am touched by everything you said; I hope this shows that I’m becoming more mature. Note: Since my score is limited to 3 points, they were assigned on a first-come, first-served basis; moderators are exempt from this rule!!
First, see if what he says makes sense; if it does, then you should study hard*. Sometimes our boss also gives me feedback, and I accept his advice when it is reasonable
I envy the original poster – after only 5 years of working, they were able to take a ‘well-deserved break’ of 9 months so easily! Maybe the family environment is too good, so it doesn’t matter not to work and earn money, or perhaps they simply don’t have any motivation to strive for progress?
Try to find the reasons within yourself. Setting aside personal issues, stay and keep working as long as it is beneficial for your own learning and development; otherwise, leave
