Tell the story of an old employee who asked his boss why he never had a chance to get promoted.

I have been working in the company for more than two years. My colleagues who were younger than me in the company have been offered promotion opportunities one after another, but I have stayed still, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. I was thinking that they were so lucky, maybe they had a hard relationship... Or maybe the boss didn't like me...

One day, I risked being fired and went to my boss to argue. "Boss, have I ever been late, left early or violated discipline?" I asked. The boss simply replied, "No, you always follow the rules."

"Does the company leader have an opinion about me?" The boss was startled for a moment, then said, "Of course not, we all think you are a good employee."

"Why are you better than me? People who joined the company later and were more junior than me could be promoted, but I have been working in an insignificant position for more than two years and have not been appreciated by my boss, nor have I been promoted or received a raise? ”

The boss didn't know what to say for a moment and was stunned. After a while, he smiled and said, "We'll talk about your matter later. I have an urgent matter here. How about you help me deal with it temporarily?"

It turns out that a customer of the company was planning to come to the company to inspect the products and capabilities. The boss asked me to contact them and ask when he would come over.

"This is really a very important task." I didn't forget to joke before going out. I was thinking, I am always asked to do such trivial things.

Twenty minutes later, I returned to my boss’s office to report my work.

"Have you been contacted?" the boss asked immediately.

"I contacted them, and they said they might not be able to come until next week."

"Exactly what day next week is it?"

"I didn't ask in detail about this. I don’t know.”

“How many people are here?”

“Ah! You didn’t ask me this!”

"Then did they come by train, plane or how?"

"You didn't let me ask about this!"

The boss didn't say anything anymore. He called Zhu Kaishan. come over. Zhu Kaishan arrived at the company nearly a year later than me, but now he is the head of a department. The boss gave him the same task just now. About ten minutes later, Zhu Kaishan came back.

"Oh, boss, it's like this..." Zhu Kaishan began to report: "They took the flight at 5 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon and arrived at about 8 o'clock in the evening. They were a group of 8 people. They were invited by the procurement tender Manager Yuan from the department will lead the team. I told them that we will arrange airport pick-up.

In addition, they plan to visit for three days. For the convenience of work, we will discuss the specific itinerary. The nearby guest hotel is convenient, classy and sincere. If you agree, I will book a room in advance tomorrow.

Furthermore, there are showers in the weather forecast next week. I will contact them at any time. If there are any changes to the schedule, I will report to you at any time."

After Zhu Kaishan went out, the boss patted me on the shoulder and said, "Well, let's continue to talk about the questions you raised."

"Um, no need, I already understand. Thank you, boss, for bothering you."

I suddenly understood that no one is born to take on big responsibilities. They all start from the simplest, Start with the most ordinary and inconspicuous little things. For people who can't do small things, don't want to do them, and can't do big things well, the label they put on themselves now will determine whether they will be entrusted with important tasks in the future.

Summary:

The gap in work ability directly affects work efficiency. Every company is in urgent need of employees who can be proactive and responsible.

Excellent employees will never passively wait for their leaders to arrange work, but proactively think about what they should do and do their best to complete it.
