Why do some people feel confused in the workplace?

It is abnormal to not be confused in the workplace. Being confused means that you are thinking, but you are not thinking well about your career plan, or you have encountered a bottleneck but you have not found a reasonable explanation and solution.

Confusion usually occurs among people who have just entered the workplace for one or two years.

For example, when I just graduated, I thought I had found a good job. However, after working for half a year, I found that there was no one to guide me, no one to teach me, and I had to explore everything by myself, and I didn’t know how to do these things. What is the meaning of. Not knowing what they are doing is the first sign that many people in the workplace become confused.

At this time, I began to think, if I want to get a promotion and a salary increase, it seems that I am still far away, and I don’t know how to work hard, let alone whether it will be a good thing or a bad thing if I continue to stay. , if you change jobs, where will you go next? The combination of all kinds of confusion made me very confused at the time. I had no idea how to work hard and what I could achieve after working hard.

Later I met a very good senior, who told me that in the workplace, you must first have goals and have an overall understanding of your career.

For example, I work in operations, so what is the general path for promotion in operation positions, how long does it usually take, what level can be achieved before promotion, and how much salary will you get after promotion. After I had a clearer understanding of these, a roadmap for my efforts slowly emerged: I began to know that just like fighting monsters and leveling up when playing a game, what tasks should you do if you want to accumulate experience points? , you can upgrade as much experience as you have accumulated, and how much money you can get after upgrading...

The workplace is like playing a game. Although you don’t know the ending, you know what path you should play along. Only when can you take the initiative in this game.

If you don’t have any plans for your career and always follow the crowd, but you envy others for having higher wages than you, and you can’t figure out why for the same job, some people can earn several times more than you. salary, it will be difficult for you not to feel confused.
