The gratitude campaign has triggered some reflection in me; there are many people to be grateful to – aside from parents, relatives, and teachers from various grades, those who have had the greatest influence on me are probably my mentors and colleagues at work. I don’t have a formal mentor; it’s through communication among colleagues and guidance from supervisors that I manage to complete my work. Among these colleagues, the one who has had the greatest influence on me is an older colleague named G! At that time, the project deadline was tight and the workload was substantial; the leader in charge of the piping-related tasks assigned G to take lead on it, with about ten of us working together to assist him. I got involved quite late; I often saw G having arguments, either within the team or with other departments, units, clients, or third-party representatives. Everyone said that person had a terrible temper, and advised avoiding them. After joining the interventional team, I gradually realized that temperament wasn’t the main issue; rather, it was the lack of cooperation among the different parties that led to frequent arguments. Why the noise? Unreasonable demands made by the property owner or third parties cannot be accepted, right? In cases where the boundaries of responsibilities are unclear, and other departments or units assign tasks to you, how can you take on those tasks when your own team’s work hasn’t even been completed? Within one’s own team, if documents are not submitted on time and this affects the project schedule, leading to criticism from other departments during meetings, it must be frustrating as well! But what I really admire about G is that, in any argument, he always focuses on work-related matters; as a result, everyone knows he’s upset, but no one dares to openly say he’s wrong or confront him. Since it relates to work and the task wasn’t completed on time, regardless of the reasons, there is some fault on one’s part. At work, his requirements are not many: 1. Know the completion time of the task and provide feedback in a timely manner. You need to know when the documents must be submitted, whether it’s possible to finish, and if there are any missing requirements If the conditions are not met, raise the issue as soon as you notice it; don’t wait until it’s impossible to complete the task before speaking up, as that will just turn into an excuse. 2. At work, one should focus on tasks; after work, everyone goes back to their own homes and takes care of themselves. If the work is done well, everything else can be discussed ； If the work isn’t done properly, more things will be affected, and there’s no need to refrain from taking action just because of personal feelings. 3. Whoever is responsible should do it; it shouldn’t become someone else’s task just because you work slowly or inefficiently. If there’s never an end to the overtime work, and it just keeps going on, then it becomes a question of whether one meets the skill requirements for the position; those who don’t meet them should be removed from the team, at least so that they’re not part of this team anymore. 4. Responsibility and attention to detail. For the matters you are involved in, you can sign; otherwise, do not sign casually, no matter which level of leader comes to you ； Since a signature is required, it’s necessary to check carefully and recalculate if needed. Responsibilities are heavier than mountains, and some are beyond your capacity to bear. Although nearly a decade has passed, his requirements constantly remind me to make fewer mistakes and improve work efficiency. Sigh~ As I was writing, I didn’t know how to continue; just bear with it and read it as is!
