How to balance

After production started, a few leaders were chosen, and unfortunately I became one of the deputy leaders. I’m currently waiting to see what happens. My salary is lower compared to those in similar positions within the same industry. My strengths include having worked on similar types of installations within the group for less than five years; I’m familiar with the group’s various rules and procedures, as well as the relevant processes. I have the highest educational qualification, know well the manufacturing processes, am familiar with instruments and equipment, and understand analysis and testing methods. I can read and create technical drawings, and I’m skilled in using computers. I also score high in theoretical exams and perform well in practical operations. I have a calm personality, excellent writing skills, am good at planning, can work well with colleagues, am able to predict potential problems, identify process flaws and propose solutions, and handle details effectively. However, my ability to handle situations on the spot is average, I’m not good at showing off, and my way of handling things isn’t very smooth – I tend to be too direct. My appearance and demeanor are average. Among these people, I can’t say I have the best overall qualifications, but I really disagree with being considered a deputy leader. After all, salary is determined by one’s position. The other deputy leaders either don’t have a complete understanding of the processes or have an unrelated field of study; they’re recent graduates with no work experience at all. I feel this is a form of demotion and insult towards me. If my salary doesn’t increase, I really don’t know how to convince myself to stay. Promotion opportunities can only arise when my superior moves away – maybe in a year, maybe in ten years. How should I find inner balance? Should I stay and strive for progress or leave?
Leaders are generally sensible people; it’s useless to disagree with them. Failing to recognize one’s own shortcomings means missing opportunities again next time.
I have also carefully reflected on my own shortcomings, but don’t those who get promoted have their own flaws too? I just feel upset; I think if you can’t give me a platform to strive on, then I should choose to leave.
Well, I guess that in a few more years I’ll end up just like you. The version of yourself you describe seems to be exactly the future version of myself that I envision! People who like to appear smooth-talking are always particularly favored by their superiors, while those who are straightforward and have clear boundaries tend to offend others! I advise you to weigh the pros and cons; if I were in your shoes, and if I weren’t in such financial need or dependent on this job, I would quit! But similar problems might still arise in the new job,,, This is really troublesome!
Just endure it slowly; life requires going through such things
Gold will always shine; there’s no need to rush.
Given your self-assessment that you are not good at adapting on the spot, at performing in public, not smooth enough in handling matters, and have too many sharp edges, it’s better for you to serve as a deputy. Without the ability to adapt quickly and without being smooth enough, it’s difficult to balance the interests of subordinates
I wonder if it’s from the production department? If that’s the case, and one is not good at handling labor deliveries, it’s unlikely that they will be allowed to take charge of the delivery process; after all, there are many unexpected situations that can arise during childbirth, and those in charge bear responsibility for them.
The recently graduated college student has also managed to get a deputy position, you know. . .
To hold a management position, one not only needs strong technical skills but also must learn communication skills and how to handle interpersonal relationships. Since you are aware of your shortcomings, stop being arrogant; learn to adapt to your environment, because the environment will not adapt to you.
Well, it’s like this: if the boss says you’re capable, then you are capable; even if not, it’s still okay! So, in one word: if you’re not happy with your work, get ready to resign!
