People in the workplace, when one day they have no extraordinary ability and are no longer valued by the boss, are likely to be written into the company's dismissal list.
Therefore, people in the workplace should make preparations early and cultivate their own abilities in order to avoid being mercilessly fired by the company. How can I equip myself if I don't want to be eliminated? There are some things you must do as soon as possible.
People who are never afraid of being eliminated in the workplace have high value first, and his professional and technical ability is an important guarantee for the company's core business. The boss relies heavily on his professional ability and is unwilling to lose it. Even in order to retain such talents, he adopted the practice of transferring shares and making them partners. Such professionals are naturally not in danger of being eliminated.
Zhang Xiaolong, the father of WeChat, can refuse the meeting request of his boss Ma Hua Teng because he stayed up late the night before and couldn't get up in the morning. Instead, Ma had to personally arrange a car for him to pick him up at Tencent headquarters for the meeting.
Why does Zhang Xiaolong have such confidence? It is precisely because he holds the core technology of the company, he has irreplaceable professional ability, and his good idea will bring immeasurable benefits to Tencent, so the boss Ma is very tolerant of it.
Rare things are expensive. Scarcity can bring infinite value. Similarly, if your professional technical ability is extremely scarce in the talent market, such as the popular big data and AI technology, your personal value will be very high, and you will not worry about not appreciating your good boss.
Therefore, in addition to doing a good job, we also need to cultivate scarce professional and technical capabilities. Don't think that you can finish the task assigned by your boss diligently.
When your personal ability can't meet the new requirements of the company's development, your contribution value continues to decline; Or the value you provide, young people can provide, and do it faster and better than you. If you were the boss, what would you choose?
Every company has core departments and technologies that affect its future and destiny. What you need to do is to enter this kind of department as soon as possible, master the core technology, practice irreplaceable professional ability and enhance your maximum value.
Having irreplaceable professional ability is only the first step to gain a foothold in the workplace, and how to turn your professional ability into market value is the important second step to success.
When we talk about the great god of a certain industry, we always think of his successful cases and representative works. For example, WeChat in Zhang Xiaolong, BOC Tower in Hong Kong by I.M. Pei, and Get app in Luo Zhenyu.
Industry gods are good at using their professional abilities to create unique works, and then gradually form their own personal brands and establish their prestige in the industry through the wide spread of these masterpieces. These industry gods, not only don't have to worry about the danger of being eliminated, but they are very popular in the industry and become the talents that companies are vying to invite.
We ordinary people in the workplace, based on the limited factors of platform and resources, can't immediately create our own personal brand and become the leader in the industry. However, first of all, we must have such a consciousness: we must have a personal successful work and then establish a personal brand.
Conscience needs follow-up. First of all, you can reflect and summarize your work results regularly, and then output written materials and actively publish them in industry magazines and forums for reference.
At the beginning, the industry articles we wrote may be slightly rough and have limited thinking depth. However, if we persist in thinking and writing, the results of thinking will continue to deepen and improve, and at the same time, it will have unexpected influence in the industry.
Most successful people in various industries like to share their latest thinking results through articles, exchange meetings and other means, and gradually win the recognition and respect of people in the same industry.
Success in the workplace can't always depend on one company, and even the best boss won't grow up with you. When you leave your current company, if there are successful cases or masterpieces before, it is not a problem to choose a new job, and there is no danger of being eliminated.
Therefore, if you strive to establish prestige in the industry and become a sought-after talent of headhunters and many companies, you don't have to worry about when you will be fired from the company.
The times are constantly developing, and even the best industry always has a recession. For example, the communication industry, which used to have unlimited scenery, is now shrinking because of the changes in old and new communication technologies, and communication enterprises are forced to lay off employees. The communication industry has changed from a sunrise industry to a sunset industry.
At this time, the hard-working elites will also face the end of being eliminated by the times. As Zhang Quanling once said, times have abandoned you and won't even say goodbye.
Therefore, we should always pay attention to industry trends and have sensitive insight. No industry is once and for all. When you notice signs of decline in your industry: the economic environment affects the decline of the industry, the national policy on the industry is adjusting, and the business volume of the industry is decreasing, you should be prepared to jump ship at any time.
If you don't change tracks in time, you can only sit still and be eliminated with the decline of the industry.
When you realize that the decline of your industry is inevitable, then you have two choices left.
First, change industries. When an industry withdraws, there will always be other related emerging industries to replace the demand supply of this industry. And you can rely on past industry experience to update your knowledge and skill structure in time, and maybe you can transfer to these emerging related industries.
Second, develop sideline business. When you can't successfully transform into an emerging industry, the only way out is to develop your own sideline and create another living space outside the workplace. Now, how many knowledgeable online celebrities have made more money than their full-time salary by offering self-media courses, and have successfully made a sideline for themselves. Only by taking the initiative to change will we not be afraid of the elimination of the workplace.
Finally, let's sum up what three things you need to do well without worrying about being eliminated from the workplace:
1. Cultivate irreplaceable professional ability;
2. Create your own brand works and establish industry popularity;
3. Take the initiative to change and be ready to change jobs at any time.
