"Innocent girl" is not naive
Not long after Xiaofang was transferred to the new unit, she got the nickname "Innocent Girl".
She was originally a teacher, but she looks like a student, and she usually speaks softly.
When the newcomer Xiaofang asked naive questions, she blushed when everyone laughed. In her free time, colleagues talked about hot social news, and she always flashed her big eyes and asked, "Ah, is that true? Ah, really?" Everyone sighed with emotion, "After all, she came out of the school, it's innocent", so they all take good care of her.
Ningning is one of the predecessors who have taken care of Xiaofang.
Of course, this is also related to Xiaofang's active showing of good.
After a small chat and learned that Ningning was also a teacher, Xiaofang strengthened contact with Ningning, "I feel very kind when I see Sister Ning."
First, I made an appointment to eat in the cafeteria together at noon. After I got acquainted, I often came to ask questions about work. Afterwards, to express my gratitude, I would send a small skin care product, dessert milk tea or something from time to time.
Ningning thinks this "innocent girl" is really cute.
When the relationship is over, Ningning will certainly try to help Xiaofang at work.
She is a master at the unit responsible for publicity and has a solid foundation in writing.
When Xiaofang first came, she was unfamiliar with the format of the official document, and the manuscript was not smoothly written. Ningning would volunteer to help her revise, teach her the secrets of official document writing and corporate publicity planning, and tell her some small secrets to improve interpersonal relationships in the work unit.
With the support of her seniors, Xiaofang soon started her career as a secretary.
Xiaofang is not only well-behaved, but also harmless to humans and animals in the workplace.
Sometimes Ningning encourages her to strive for performance. She always shook her head and said, "Sister Ning, I have no interest in these things, so I'll just be myself quietly in the corner."
Ningning thought, this "naive girl" is really innocent.
After two years, some personnel adjustments were prepared in the unit.
During the meeting, the leaders solicited everyone's views on several young employees, including Xiaofang.
Ningning made a more objective analysis based on her own observations.
A few days later, Xiaofang came to Ning Ning to complain, saying that she was criticized by her father for her inaction and forced her to be aggressive and promoted to the middle of the unit.
Ningning patted her legs. Oh, you said earlier, I thought you were not interested in these.
Xiaofang flashed her big eyes and said sincerely, yes, I am not self-motivated, and I don't have many advantages in work compared to XX, but the pressure on me at home is really great.
That being the case, it is indispensable for Ningning to go out to help Xiaofang set up the line, invite the deputy director of personnel to have dinner, and advise on which position is suitable for the staff together, etc.
After working in this way, Xiaofang was able to reach the next level as she wished.
But since Xiaofang was promoted, Ningning found that their contacts were getting less and less.
The afternoon tea greetings are almost gone, and I don't make appointments to eat out of the cafeteria.
I often see Xiaofang ask the elder sister of the personnel department to go to the cafeteria for dinner, and sometimes sit at a table with the deputy director.
Ning Ning suddenly understood that she had been a "tool person" for the past two years, and Xiaofang, who was promoted to the middle level, now needs a higher-level "tool person".
The small unit looked down and didn't see it, Ning Ning was reluctant to tear his face.
But think about the past two years she helped Xiaofang revise the manuscript, analyze personnel issues, matchmaking, and spent so much time and energy, "It's really full of food and support. Forget it, it must be a lesson. The more you will behave in the future. If humans and animals are harmless, the more you must be careful."
"Running" promotion is not long
When the personnel transfer list came out, everyone in Li Li's office was dumbfounded.
In the end, it was not the business model pony who was transferred to the head office, but Li Li, who was the most complained about behind everyone.
Li Li's reputation in the company is not very good, her business ability is average, and her work is not very active.
However, Li Li doesn't care about the evaluation of colleagues. From the very beginning, she has worked hard to take the "upper-level route."
Li Li's first goal is the direct leader-Minister Lao Li.
Although Minister Li is a good old man, he doesn't like Li Li's beard and beard. At the critical moment of the end of the year, he will only look at the results and not the people.
Li Li immediately changed his strategy.
People in the office found that Li Li was very close to the driver of the leader, and from time to time I could see them eating and chatting. Li Li also stuffed the driver with branded cigarettes "idle at home" and Mid-Autumn Festival moon cake coupons.
A colleague reminded Xiao Ma if she wanted to leapfrog promotion.
Xiao Ma smiled and said, let her go.
The pony is not surprised because of his confidence.
As a graduate of a prestigious financial college, Xiao Ma's business level is obvious to all.
Moreover, he has never relaxed his personal ability improvement since work, and he has never stopped foreign language and professional training courses.
Li Li suddenly became passionate about fitness.
After lunch, the couple walked to the company gym. "Recently, I have too much meat. I have to reduce it." My colleagues are surprised. Why did Li Li, who usually doesn't like moving, suddenly change sex?
After some investigation, everyone suddenly realized that the big leader loved to run, and he went to the gym to step on the treadmill whenever he had time at noon. Li Li got this information from the driver.
The impression left by Li Li of the gym on top leaders is: hard work, self-motivated, and excellent.
The leader asked Li Li if she loved sports.
Li Li said it was not. She was busy reporting all morning, and she had to move her muscles and bones to stimulate the lower nerves, so that she would have energy to work efficiently in the afternoon.
Sometimes Li Li would also praise the self-discipline of the leader in maintaining the exercise. Yesterday, he worked overtime too late, and today he is too tired to run, but think about learning from the leader. Perseverance is victory.
The good people also discovered that Li Li's circle of friends is actually grouped.
Colleagues can at most see the selfies she sends and the punch-in photos of online celebrity shops.
But what the high-level leaders saw was a completely different Li Li, whose themes were work and running to work.
"Young people are busy for the holidays. Let our old employees come to the end. I will work hard. I will be happy for several stores. Haha." "Finally got the customer, but can't relax, continue fighting!" "Check in for the ×× day, healthy To work better!"
The mystery of dispatching the headquarters was quickly revealed.
Li Li learned the news first from the leader at the gym, and then expressed a strong desire to go to the headquarters to receive more exercise.
The big leader's impression of Li Li has always been positive, so he selected it.
A colleague urged Xiao Ma to appeal to the leader, but Xiao Ma refused.
He has always believed that the shortcuts obtained by "being careful" are actually not easy to take, and doing their job well and getting good results is the long-term solution.
Facts have proved that life at the headquarters is not messy, because Li Li's business ability is not good enough, and the leader who recommended her is also quite embarrassed.
Xiao Ma has recently received high-paying poaching invitations from two other companies in the industry.
"Little Smart" is not smart
Among the newly recruited young people in the company, Chen Min is particularly able to speak out.
As long as the team has some achievements, he can exaggerate the little things he has done as a watermelon; if the work is not done well, he will use the name of summing up experience and lessons to say that this person is not good enough for that person, but only Don't mention a word to yourself.
Therefore, the department leader Lao Fang's evaluation of Chen Min is that his business ability is good, but he is more eager for quick success and quick profit, and he likes to be smart.
The Lao Fang understands the young people's eagerness to move up, and does not think it is a bad thing. The desire to succeed can stimulate the enthusiasm for work.
He would open and close Chen Min's some cautious opportunities, but sometimes the "smart" is too much, which brings trouble to the team management, and the Lao Fang has to take action.
For example, there was a customer before, and colleagues are already talking about it.
Chen Min stepped in through the relationship between classmates and unilaterally told the client that he was now responsible for this matter.
Chen Min cuts first and then plays, thinking about winning the list and asking the leader for credit.
But he broke out halfway and failed to arrange all the details. The colleague who was "intercepted" came to complain with anger. The customer who received different information was confused, and finally asked the Lao Fang directly: Who is responsible here on your side?
Lao Fang had a special talk with Chen Minchang for this.
Lao Fang praised Chen Min for his self-motivatedness, but also told him that he must have a team spirit in the workplace.
If Chen Min has a relationship and can inquire about the opponent's bargaining chips, then everyone can work together to speed up the order, which is a win-win situation.
But thinking about "eating alone" not only makes enemies in the workplace, but also creates a bad impression for customers that the management of the company is chaotic. It is really not worth the loss.
Chen Min immediately said that the Lao Fang had made a very correct point, and he would pay attention to his way of working.
After being in peace for a while, Lao Fang suddenly received an e-mail from the Personnel Supervisor one day and was furious.
It turned out to be a matter of recommending excellent training some time ago.
The company’s practice is to select several outstanding employees to participate in a two-month training course each year.
Chen Min was also on the departmental candidate list, but the final evaluation result was that another colleague won, because he discussed a large list this year, which was not easy.
When the results were announced, everyone had no objections.
The old Fang never expected that Chen Min was dissatisfied, and turned around to send an email to the personnel supervisor he knew well. In his usual narrative way, he listed the various small lists that he had talked about this year, boasted fiercely, and believed that he was the one. More suitable candidates.
Chen Min thought he and the personnel supervisor were alumni and had friendship.
Unexpectedly, they had a deeper friendship with the Lao Fang, and the email was forwarded to the Lao Fang intact.
The Lao Fang directly printed out the email, and Chen Min's face turned green when he saw it.
The Lao Fang first stated one, two or three reasons for the recommendation, and then warned Chen Min that leapfrog reporting is a taboo in the workplace, and finally warned him that these few performances would affect the year-end assessment.
The Lao Fang hopes to teach Chen Min a lesson: Leaders see everything in their eyes, put away your cleverness, and use your time on business.
