The 40-year-old male compatriots are theoretically the most essential part of life, and both life experiences and experiences are very rich wealth. However, the mechanism of survival of the fittest is the general trend and an important factor that must be paid attention to in enterprise management. As an individual, I should not only complete the tasks I should have completed, but also study new skills and knowledge hard. Only in the process of my continuous growth and progress will I not be eliminated.
Take myself as an example: 1, in August, 65438 (that is, my 40th birthday), I led 60 skilled workers (stone, wood and mud) from Sichuan to report to China Nonferrous Metals Industry Corporation, and left Beijing for Kuwait in West Asia at 1: 30 in the afternoon. What I saw in the barracks project department of Kuwait Ministry of Defence was completely different from what I usually experienced. Quality inspection is many times stricter than in China, so there is no way but to study hard. With the help of foreign project teams, we finally defeated ourselves and made every project to the extreme, achieving a three-level inspection and a good grade. Because of this, before the expiration of the two-year contract period, the Foreign Engineering Project Department of Nonferrous Metals Industry Corporation specially went to Sichuan and asked our company to postpone the contract period for another two years and continue to work in Kuwait (you should understand my intention by taking this example).
To sum up: worry is unnecessary, study is necessary, and if you want to get ahead, you must redouble your efforts! The following colleague is the workshop director who grew up in the process of survival of the fittest. Through his own efforts, his work arrangement and communication skills among employees have been greatly improved.
It's no use worrying. To survive and develop, enterprises must compete in domestic and foreign markets. You have to compete within the enterprise, the market is ruthless and the competition is ruthless.
First, consider whether the development of the enterprise has a future. If the tree falls, try to get out in advance. 40 years old, still young, and still have advantages. In a few years, the advantage will be gone, and he will have to resign himself to fate.
Second, enterprises are good, and good enterprises want to enter. The original policy saved their lives, and it was an iron rice bowl. Now you should consider your position in the company, how much wealth, business ability and interpersonal relationship you can create for the company. It used to be said that you can do what you can, but now it has changed. Large companies are not managed by one person, including the main leaders, and coal mines are also the last to be eliminated, and the masses score. Mechanical and electrical mine manager, son-in-law's younger brother, can't work or get along with people under his command, and someone is watching. After the last one was eliminated and scored, the eldest son announced the score result on the spot, which caused the fact and reported it to the district. No flexibility. The trainee warden can only say that the next time you make an important decision, think about it and talk all night. Can you spend the night? Sleep soundly.
Make a group of people passive, the district chief is not easy to explain, and the mine manager is not easy to explain to his in-laws.
If you want to keep your job, you must work hard. It's no use worrying.
My famous words, entering the core of leadership and entering the core of technology, are afraid of being laid off.
The top is less than the middle, and the middle is less than the grassroots.
According to my famous saying, the eldest son and the second son are the lowest management positions (cadres), captains, sometimes party branch secretaries, technicians, senior electricians and top-notch technical talents (Montana). What are you worried about?
Lao Jin's point of view in the circle of professional friends: Don't care too much about age, but think more about what you can achieve. There is too much information about the "midlife crisis" in the workplace nowadays. Many middle-aged people will have "workplace panic" after reading this kind of information, and even sit in the wrong position.
I think the best way is to face your age bravely, but don't pay too much attention to your age. Instead of being troubled by the "midlife crisis" all day, it is better to spend more time thinking about what you can achieve.
Below, I will share what I would do if I were the subject. It is purely my humble opinion, for the reference of the subject, and everyone is welcome to discuss and exchange.
When people reach middle age, there is no need to escape their age. Even if they cover their ears with their hands, they still can't change the fact that they are middle-aged. Then why not be honest about your age? Most people panic because of their age, mainly because:
1. I have been in the workplace for many years, but I have not been promoted. I'm afraid I'll be eliminated by the newcomers.
2. Memory and learning ability decline, and there is a feeling of being unable to face new things.
Staying in the comfort zone for a long time, I'm afraid I can't cope after jumping out of the comfort zone.
So how to treat your age rationally? If I were the subject, I would do this:
I used to feel that there were more and more young colleagues around me. At first, I was a little emotional. I find that the reality of middle age will not change because of my feelings. It is not difficult to admit this fact.
Many people mistakenly think that qualifications are qualifications and qualifications are strength. In fact, this kind of thinking will only disappoint yourself in the end. The length of service is only a record of their working hours, which has no meaning.
Summary: Looking at age rationally does not mean accepting the reality of age from now on, but not accepting your stagnation and refusing to grow.
Layoff of middle-aged people in the workplace is a hot topic in recent years, especially in Internet companies. How can we avoid being laid off? Here are some personal suggestions:
1. Take some time to review your workplace, mainly to review what you have learned and achieved since your first job.
2. Usually observe more colleagues who have become the backbone of the unit and what advantages they can learn to improve their ability.
3. Pay more attention to social dynamics, especially emerging industries and new technologies. Although I am old, my learning attitude can't be old.
The above three aspects can prevent yourself from blocking your information and opening information updates. What needs to be done next is:
1. Join more industry circles and see what potential opportunities there are in the industry.
Try to do some sideline business, and it is best to sum up some practical experience from your own specialties.
3. During the break, take some time to run around the area with heavy local traffic to see which manufacturers' products are more popular.
Summary: The best way to deal with layoffs is not to waste every day, accumulate your own knowledge and skills, pay attention to social trends, and then chat with manufacturers and learn to tap financial resources.
Finally, let's go back to the main question and make a summary. If you are worried that layoffs will fall on you every day, the best way is to act now instead of worrying yourself every day. The earlier you prepare in advance, even if you are really unfortunate enough to be laid off, you will not be at a loss.
I hope my answer can help you, thank you:)

I'm 40 years old, and I'm worried that layoffs will fall on me every day. Better prepare for the worst than worrying about being laid off every day.
Since you are worried that the company's layoffs will lay off yourself, it means that you can't be the main force and irreplaceable in the company's work. Fortunately, I have self-knowledge. However, we should not live in worry and waste every day. Instead of waiting for being laid off, it is better to start now, take action and implement your growth plan in a planned way.
Maybe you are thinking, you may not be able to cut me this time, but you are hiding. This is luck at work. But there will be another layoff soon. As the saying goes, you can hide from the first day, but you can't hide from the fifteenth. In other words, taking chances is never the way, even if the 40-year-old layoffs have escaped, can they escape at the age of 45? After all, there are fewer and fewer iron rice bowls, and it is getting harder and harder to retire.
In fact, we all know that if you have a skill and become a master in the industry, the company is not afraid of being laid off. But now I'm 40 years old. Without excellent skills, it's too late to learn. However, since you realize it, don't give up on yourself, take time to find opportunities to learn.
