Three levels in the workplace
Thread Content
The first level is what the organization has done for me. Newly hired young people often complain about the hard work, saying that they try their best, but the company fails to offer satisfactory compensation; as a result, they feel disappointed, troubled, and frustrated, and may even quit in anger. However, some people persevered, including those who had complained at first; they worked at only one job throughout their lives, and their professional journey can be described as one filled with mediocrity, helplessness, and regret – a mix of complex emotions. The second level: What have I done for my organization? Have I brought honor to it? Those who hold such views are either idealists or the result of long-term conditioning. This state of mind has something in common with the idea that \"when the great river is full, the smaller rivers are also full\"; it is essentially another version of \"sacrificing the individual self for the greater good.\" Since they rarely consider themselves, such people are actually very easy to sway. Although such people are a minority in reality, in a country like China with a strong collective orientation, this ideal is repeatedly emphasized by leaders at all levels, almost like a slogan. The third level is working for yourself. Working for oneself can be further divided into two categories: hiring oneself as one’s own boss ； Another scenario is working for someone else. The latter case is not easy to understand, but it is an idea that is beneficial to society. Imagine what a remarkable state of mind it is when a person views work as their duty. When he is working, he doesn’t think at all that it’s someone else’s business; as a result, he doesn’t feel the need to work hard, nor does he have any thoughts of passing off inferior quality products as good ones or cheating others.
Some people think that the work I do exceeds what I’m paid for, and since I haven’t found a suitable job yet, I should do less work. Either your company fires me, as labor law requires double compensation per month at this point.
The third realm leads to the same outcome as Taoism’s principle of \"governing by non-interference\"...
The second one and the latter of the third two are the same, right?

My personal view: The first level – those who have not yet been brainwashed by the company and maintain an employee mindset; as a result, their future paths can be divided into two categories: some continue muddling through their days, while others quit in frustration in search of better opportunities. The second level: In reality, it is the company’s way of brainwashing its employees, under the guise of a corporate culture. But then again, if this boss truly cares about his employees, and if everyone works together to get the company ship set sail, then there’s nothing wrong with it; this model is actually quite good. So such a boss is also successful, but there is a prerequisite: the boss must be honest and trustworthy. For example, Ren Zhengfei is willing to allocate hundreds of millions of yuan each year to give out bonuses to his employees; such a boss is worth following. But in reality, many bosses are not like this; they tell their employees what they have done for the company, only with the aim of exploiting those employees even more, which is not good for the employees either. Well, that’s just bossy nonsense. The third level: working for oneself. These are people with ambitions; they either become their own bosses or have a clear career plan. They understand that those who possess great talents aren’t meant to stay in ordinary situations, and that their current job is merely a starting point, a stepping stone. That’s why they work hard, with the goal of either becoming their own bosses or achieving the goals they’ve set for themselves. Such people are those who will achieve success; they shouldn’t be underestimated! ! !
