For some time now, “ Rubber man ” The concept of quickly go red net network, It is a lot of work , have not felt in the workplace and pain, Like a man made of rubber. The concept comes with a 10-question self-test. Of course, the test results are a wake-up call for professionals: many of us have been “ Rubberization ” MHM. In the high-pressure workplace, we really lost the ideal and fighting spirit?

Meetings are always absent

Let the meeting begin! Every time she heard those two familiar words, Ding Cui would whip out a fashion magazine and quickly dash to the corner of the conference room to take a seat. Prepare for war ” One long meeting after another.

Ding Cui, who has been working for four years, has been used to such a meeting mode. She works as a clerk in a technology company in Wuchang, and the reason why she stays in this enterprise that sees no big future is mainly because her boyfriend's company is in Optics Valley, and the two people have set up a small nest near the University of Science and Technology. Said can not see the future, it does not mean that the strength of her company is not good, but Ding Cui has no room to rise, because the professional is not right, she can only be consigned to an ordinary clerk position, one is four years. Like many female colleagues in the company, she is used to reading fashion magazines, going shopping with them after work, and hiding in the corner during meetings.

In fact, when I just arrived at the company, the lively Ding Cui is still very positive about the work, and will choose the front position in the meeting, but every time the company's meeting content is based on sales and technology, she can not get in the word many times. At some point, she started to move backwards.

Sitting in the corner of the conference room, her eyes are fixed on the magazine, and her ears are still trying to listen to some meeting content related to her work, but when it comes to words that are not related to her department, her mind is immediately wandering: looking at fashion magazines, wondering if it is time to buy a silk scarf after work. Sometimes in an emergency meeting, she did not get the book, and she would be very focused on sending her own text messages, intentionally or unintentionally putting herself out of the meeting. She will not speak on her own initiative except at the special request of the leader.

Taunting colleagues competitive manager

“ What? Just three years of Xiao Liu also signed up for the manager competition this time? ” A few months ago, when his colleagues handed the bidding form to Sun Hao, he also heard the explosive news. Although he admits that Xiao Liu does have the strength to compete for jobs, he also believes that the company's “ Water ” Too deep, maybe the manager has already been appointed, this competition is at most a procedure. “ Xiao Liu is really not sensible! ” He shook his head, as if in awe of his former self.

Sun Hao is a technician at a medium-sized private company in Hankou. I have been in the company for six years, and my life is relatively stable. He didn't think much about the future. It's a far cry from when he first graduated from college. When he graduated from college, he had a clear career plan and even planned to join the management of the company within three years. So at the beginning, Sun Hao has been very hard, and so he felt the strength of the fourth year mature, want to compete for the position of manager, but ended in failure, the fifth year still failed. Gradually, he heard a lot of grapevine news: so-and-so and the big boss relationship is very good, so-and-so and the company's vice president's wife is a relative, etc., these grapevine news gradually poured out the Sun Hao heart of the remaining hope and fighting spirit, over time, he used to work quietly, also determined not to go to the company's “ Mixed water ” He himself called it “ Take it easy ” .

To Sun Hao's surprise, this time Liu actually really was allocated, because there was only a vacancy of a manager's position, but when another manager resigned, all of a sudden, and a position, Xiao Liu was elected by a narrow margin. When everyone felt sorry for Sun Hao, he smiled regretfully: “ I think I know a lot, but in fact, this so-called insider has long killed my will, so that I am no longer willing to prepare, how can the opportunity favor me? ”

Work every day “ Work slowly ”

“ Tomorrow you will draw the construction drawings to the workshop, the workshop master is waiting to use. ” When Chen Song, an assistant engineer, arrived at work in the morning, he received a &ldquo message from his leader. Instruction ” He just started to rush to work.

Chen Song is an assistant engineer of a design unit in Zhuankou, three years after graduation from university, many of the same group of colleagues have been able to independently complete the designer's work, independent operation of the project, and he is still an assistant for engineers, drawing construction drawings. What makes him more dissatisfied is that these construction drawings are basically the same machine model, only some parts have been slightly modified, but the overall situation is to change the soup does not change the medicine, the production is also quite smooth, there is no challenge, and the work is no work and fault.

Overall, Chen Song's company is actually quite good, the labor intensity is not very large, each drawing a drawing, have given Chen Song about 20 days of loose time, and every time he gets the drawing, he will start “ Work slowly ” Surfing the Internet, reading books, occasionally moving a little, until the drawing is almost handed in, he will spend the whole day to finish the work. Basically, 20 days of work, he really had to hurry, and he could do it in two days.

Because Chen Song only finished the work in just the right time every time, the department manager never considered giving him another type of machine to do the design, worried that he could not finish in the prescribed time, let alone give him the independent operation of the project design. The gentleness of the manager led to Chen Song slowly becoming a warm water frog, living a leisurely life every day, thinking: anyway, it is not reused, why work so hard?
