One day at noon, I was about to eat when an old ironman came to talk to me with indignation, saying that the boss wanted to talk to him and told him to find another way out quickly. The company's layoff list hasn't come down yet, but he is an alternative. It is said that it is very exciting. He has been in the company for five years, working overtime until 10 every day, being free on weekends, and never having a holiday except Chinese New Year. Every time I see him, I'm working hard, but I didn't expect it to end like this.

To tell the truth, although it's Lao Tie, I'm not at all polite. I asked him, you have worked overtime for five years. What do you do in the office every day?

He stopped talking in an instant, because in the past five years, after six o'clock every day, he played games for two hours in addition to eating dinner for two hours. Of course, sometimes I will change my taste, buy things and chat with WeChat group. Taxi fare after 10.

Punch time is particularly long, work attitude is particularly good, but nothing is done. He can often see the CBD at night in his circle of friends, and seems to be a diligent person.

Think of a sentence I read on the Internet recently: Don't pretend to work hard, the boss won't accompany you in acting.

The only result of muddling through is muddling through.

Story 2

If I am an old iron who idles around all day, I won't lose money if I am persuaded to quit. Not to mention the personal experience of a good friend.

One day, he suddenly told me on WeChat that he went to the toilet and suddenly found that the technical department next door was dark and didn't even turn on the lights. He thought there was a power outage, and when he asked, the whole department was in trouble, and no one was spared.

This kind of thing can be seen everywhere in the workplace. Every business line has today and no tomorrow, especially in big companies. The C position is too crowded and there is a lot of cannon fodder. Either superior or eliminated, but there are always some people who like to deceive themselves. I have seen a department that is busy all day and is overwhelmed by chatting with people on the phone. The whole day was a multi-million project, but by the end of the year, KPI was horribly low and PPT was terrible.

Colleagues all lamented, how can these people be said to get along? Don't pretend to work hard, even if you really work hard, it may be useless. The data won't lie, and the boss is not a fool. Even if your acting skills are bursting, it is inevitable to get a box lunch in advance.

The real workplace is cruel, the process is not important, and the result has the final say. You are doing nothing every day, and the enthusiasm in your circle of friends is high. Honestly, no one will pay for your blood.

In this world, doing nothing is not just muddling along. Doing nothing is also called muddling along.

Story 3

Nowadays, the speed of change is beyond imagination. As long as I think of being abandoned, I feel extremely anxious. So hard work has become a tonic. Therefore, in life, you can always see such a person who has nothing to do but set up a flag in a circle of friends, buy a class today, hoard a bunch of books tomorrow, and live in the illusion of being busy all day, as if spending money will have a future.

Really, stop lying to yourself. While shouting slogans, you can't do it. Your circle of friends is full of ambition, and you will die in life. Maybe you will have schizophrenia. Why bother?

They say life is like a play, but no one will accompany you all your life.

Nowadays, there are two kinds of cannon fodder, one is to pretend to work hard and the other is not to work hard. Many people used to think that fooling around meant doing nothing. But today, you have to admit that life is a little more cruel. You may be busy every day, but you still can't get rid of it.

Therefore, your understanding of muddling along in the past may be wrong. Many people's efforts are actually not quantified. To give the simplest example, ten years ago, it took you a week to make a PPT, and ten years later, it will take you another week to make another PPT. In this decade, even if you sit in prison, it will be abandoned.

I don't know if you have noticed that in the workplace, many people are unwilling to face the results of hard work. Just like when I was a child, no one wanted to look at the scores, for fear that his little heart could not stand it. But you must learn to face the pressure of examining yourself, jump out of your field of vision and see how you are doing.

It's not easy, but it definitely makes sense.
