Why are there more and more contradictions between young people and old people in the workplace?
Many HR will choose people with relevant work experience when recruiting, and young people who have just graduated or just graduated are always out of consideration. Apart from the fact that these young people can't work directly because they have no relevant work experience, the reason why HR is unwilling to give them opportunities is a series of labels on young people, such as carelessness, poor attitude and lack of professionalism.

There is no denying that there are such people among young people. As mentioned in my previous article "Why do you get a high salary as soon as you graduate" and "Some people deserve not to find a job", for those college students who have no attitude, no ability and strong self-esteem, they are really too lazy to scold, let alone recruit jobs. However, among college students, there are many people who can straighten their position and know how to make progress. But what are the voices of these young people?

I have heard young friends complain to me more than once about the "bad behavior" of the old people in the company. Exclusion, isolation and scapegoating are also common. Although, before preparing to enter the workplace, you must understand that "it is your duty to help others, and it is your duty not to help you" is one of the most important survival rules in the workplace. However, it is really sad to get along with each other in exchange for looking on coldly and asking for advice modestly, but being ignored by the old people and becoming a scapegoat seriously.

In the face of such complaints, have HR people ever reflected, are young people really that bad? Are young people too bad or old people in the workplace too arrogant? Perhaps from the perspective of young people, you will find that those so-called carelessness and poor attitude are sometimes justified.

There is a friend who is a girl with special ideas. She is outspoken and enthusiastic. She majored in advertising design and graduated last June. After graduation, she wanted to find a job in an advertising company, but she was rejected because she didn't have much work experience. Forced to survive, settle for second best and find a job as a Taobao artist. During the interview, I saw that the department structure of the home appliance company was reasonable and the personnel contract was formal. I feel that I may have picked up a leak and entered the next "Handu Yishe", although the salary is outrageous.

However, after entering the company, I found that she was not allowed to do a good job as an artist. Because she is a newcomer, she is often called to tidy up the warehouse and gently let her know about the products. You can learn about the products by organizing the warehouse. All the products are sealed in boxes, and all you can see is the article number and quantity. In the final analysis, just because she graduated from a regular school, her basic knowledge is more solid than others. She paints quickly without delay. After a day's work, she will browse some professional websites, while most other artists become monks halfway, and their majors are not as good as her. The art director, a woman in her thirties, was always unable to hide her leisure, so she was sent to the warehouse to help organize the warehouse and post orders for delivery. If you choose not to go, you will naturally be said to be difficult to manage. After all, the other party, as the director of that company, is an old man who speaks much more heavily than her, but for the rent of that month, she can only endure it at the cost of coming home like a terrapin every day.

Of course, in this case, the boss will turn a blind eye. After all, he only needs to pay a salary, but my friend can finish the work of two people. Why not? This situation lasted for more than a month. At the moment when she got her first salary, she crossed the supervisor and put her resignation letter on the boss's desk directly with her prepared resignation letter. There is only one sentence on a huge piece of white paper: "I am not happy to resign!" " Then I went back to the station to pack my things and said to production designer, who sent her to the warehouse, "Go, scheming bitch, I won't wait!" . A room full of people has no time to react to what happened.

In fact, I have always admired her and often praised myself as a fearless woman, but I have never had the courage to do things too absolutely. I think in this case, I just lost my temper, wrote a grandiose resignation, and then resigned in despair.

I remember when I was an intern a few years ago, I was also rejected everywhere. At that time, I was only in my early twenties and didn't know so much about the world. A person went to Beijing to practice in a group buying website and edit the website page. At first, he was full of confidence, because the company would train each new person for one week, explain the work content and some rules and regulations of the company, and there would be a special tutor to guide the work after one week of training. At that time, the mentor and leader were also two sisters with good temper, and they were also very good to me. I thought I was on the road to prosperity. Unexpectedly, because I was inexperienced, too young and too simple, I was full of confidence at first.

Some contents of the contract signed by the group buying website and the merchants need to be handwritten, and all kinds of pens are different. It is even more difficult to recognize the ugly handwriting. In addition, we get a scanned electronic version, which is often unclear. I met such a job when I started working independently. My tutor wasn't there at that time, and I didn't know what to do. I asked my colleague sitting next to me how to deal with such a problem. The other party told me: "Call to ask about sales!" The expression is impatient, as if I owe her thousands of dollars. Although she did give me a solution, I won't have the courage to ask her again the next time I meet a question I don't understand.

Of course, I have been criticized without warning. I remember that it was my first time to write a buffet page, because I didn't talk about the problems that should be paid attention to in this kind of page in detail during the training, so I wrote it according to my previous experience and referring to the previous pages. But when I submitted it, the person in charge of the audit directly found me and gave me a sweeping education, pointing out many mistakes I wrote, but at the same time gave me a careless big hat. At that time, my first reaction was to resign and leave, thinking it was just an internship, so why get angry. Then I stopped working and chatted with a senior who was playing well at school on QQ. He graduated a year earlier than me, working in Nanjing at that time, and told him about these things that happened to him. After listening to it, he told me a lot of truth, which probably means that most workplaces are like this. Old people crowd out new people, new people boil into old people and then crowd out new people. Of course, he also told me some dog blood incidents he encountered during his internship. There is no denying that his words made me feel much better. After all, the best way to comfort a person is to tell him that someone is worse off than him.

In this way, from my own experience, or you HR can also recall, when you first entered the workplace, were you also treated with arrogance by the elderly in the workplace? What was your state of mind? Have you ever been lazy and even thought about leaving? Perhaps the carelessness and poor attitude of young people are just one aspect they show, and the causes of these aspects are likely to be related to the arrogance and exclusion of the elderly in the workplace.

Therefore, please ask HR and the old birds in the workplace to criticize young people and reflect on whether they have sincerely helped and supported those young people who have just entered the workplace at work. If you don't want to spend so much time and experience, please don't criticize and attack too much.

Finally, there are some words I want to say to newcomers in the workplace. Although you will encounter some unfair and disharmonious phenomena on the road to job hunting, it is a minority after all. If you can put your mind right, face the workplace bravely and get through these unfairness and disharmony, you will become more and more awesome. At the same time, the office will become your other home, and your colleagues will become your family and friends. Just like I'm still glad to be an intern at that group buying website, because I learned a lot there and made many good friends.
