From the topic "politics"

In May 2012, a friend left his beloved job because he couldn't bear the company's complicated political environment. After leaving, he traveled around and went to work for a company he was interested in when he was in college. It's a pity that he felt that the job was far from what he loved in his last job. Every time he talks to me about his last job, there is always a kind of love and nostalgia on his face, and at the same time he laments that the complexity of the company environment has deprived him of his love.

Because my heart is depressed, I often go out to drink and chat with friends. One day, after his university teacher heard his complaint, the teacher told him a sentence, which probably means that all your love, ideals, and ambitions can only be realized when you climb to a high place. And to climb to the top, not only need to work hard, but also play politics. In other words, your ideals and aspirations will not be realized until you can afford to play politics, or at least handle it.

"People who only work hard will not necessarily be promoted, because the circle of work is the circle of people, and there needs a person who can deal with it to balance the relationship between team members."
- Politics is not something a fool can hold. Only people who are stupid enough have no idea about politics. From the country down to the office, the people who can see clearly and can afford it end up sitting at the top.


"People who only play tricks, don't necessarily like to be flattered. Because there is always work that needs to be done by people, it is not of much value to them that they can only do things without being able to do things."

"Continue to work hard. , and at the same time be careful to deal with the relationship between people. The above is not a fool, and will not completely forget a person who can do things."

"You give up because you can't stand the rules of the game between people. It's actually a kind of escape. By escaping this game, you are also far from your dreams."



I asked him: Do you like that job enough? Like loving your wife. If you like the shortcomings she brings, you are willing to accept them all, instead of just wanting the happiness and passion she brings to you, but not willing to take on the troubles and small problems she brings. In this case, neither the marriage nor the career path will last long.

Work is like a life partner, and shoes that don't fit your feet can hurt over time. Work is also like companionship, bittersweet.






My friend will go back to work at the original company next month.
