Beware! Five kinds of experiences on the first day of work

Beware! Five kinds of experiences on the first day of work

No matter how long you have worked in your previous company, you will be a "newcomer" after you quit to a new company; No matter how beautiful you are in college, you will still "start from scratch" after you graduate and enter a company. What can you foresee or what will happen on your first day at work? Do you still remember what impressed you on your first day in the company?
On the Worry-Free Future Forum (bbs.51job.com), many netizens were deeply impressed by what they encountered on their first day at work, and they all told their stories about the N kinds of experiences they encountered on their first day at work. If you are preparing to work in a new company, you should be on guard against the different events that happened to the following five people in the workplace, so as not to spoil the good memories you should have on your first day at work.
Encounter 1: I accidentally found that there was no one in the office.
Narrator: Bella
Position: Administrative Commissioner
On the first day of work, in order to make a good impression on my boss, I came to the company more than half an hour early. Aunt cleaning saw me and said with a smile, "It’s so early." I nodded: "Yes, I have to live up to my expectations on my first day at work."
Later, I found myself really early enough. The company stipulated to start work at 9 o’clock, but by 9 o’clock, I was alone. At the same time, I was particularly nervous because I was about to meet my new colleagues. At 9: 30, only a few people appeared. I even wondered if I was in the wrong company … At 10 o’clock, my new colleagues came to the company one after another. Afterwards, I learned from my colleagues that the original company implemented a flexible working system, which nominally stipulated to go to work at 9 o’clock, but in fact, it only took eight hours to complete the workload in one day, and you can come to work at any time.
Now, accustomed to the flexible working system, I gradually start to go to work late and get off work late, so that I can make my own decisions on my own time, which can also make my life easier!
Future comments: No matter whether the company implements a fixed working system or a flexible working system, it should be a basic criterion not to be late for work when the newcomers are unclear. Of course, as far as working hours are concerned, newcomers can ask clearly when they join the job or even interview. However, even if it is known that the company implements flexible working hours, newcomers should not be late on the first day of work, because in case all colleagues in the department are on time, the "lateness" of newcomers will easily make those colleagues who are on time psychologically unhappy.
Encounter 2: being left out by colleagues
Narrator: Saleisha
Position: Marketing Assistant
On the first day of work, my seat was assigned between two girls. I thought it would be much easier for everyone to get along with girls, but I didn’t expect to be on pins and needles after only half a day at work. The reason is that these two girls are very close friends, and they will chat and share snacks in their spare time. Maybe they are used to the situation that there is no one in the middle, and adding me in has not affected them at all. It can be seen that these two girls must have treated me as an invisible man.
I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. When they chat, they don’t care about my existence at all. Private topics are also said in front of me unscrupulously. When I want to talk, they don’t care about me at all. I can only silently bear the drool pouring in from both sides of me. In addition, they often eat snacks together, and call colleagues who pass by them to eat together, but they never call me. I really don’t know if they are afraid of life or deliberately ignore my existence. Therefore, I didn’t stand or sit on my first day in the company.
Because it was my first day at work, and the specific work was not assigned, I could only watch them make out and stare blankly, and the first day was spent in such embarrassment.
Future comments: the old people ignore the new people, and the new people can take the initiative to talk to the old people; Old people don’t divide what new people eat, and new people can divide what old people eat on their own initiative. There are no invincible old people, only new people who don’t work hard. When a newcomer adapts to the environment of a new company or department, the old man should also adapt to the existence of a new colleague. In order to let the old people get familiar with the new people faster, and also to let the new people better integrate into the work, on the first day of work, the new people can take the initiative, bring some small gifts, make an interesting self-introduction, take the initiative to strike up a conversation, and actively integrate into the new department.
Encounter 3: being unfamiliar with the work content and being "professional"
Narrator: lust
Position: text entry clerk
On my first day at work, my supervisor assigned me a task. Because I am doing relatively simple text entry work, the supervisor gave me a little training and let me operate on the computer independently. When the supervisor explained it to me, I still thought it was quite easy, but in practice, it was still difficult. When I met something I didn’t understand, I asked my colleagues. Although my colleagues enthusiastically answered my questions, I couldn’t understand a series of technical terms he said at all. As a result, when the day’s work was over, I only finished half of the original workload.
I was very depressed at that time, and I didn’t know if I was qualified for this job. However, I am a strong person. I started to work harder the next day and finally got the first place in the department.
Future Comments: Getting started with your job as soon as possible is what every new person should do when entering the company. Although most companies will not force newcomers to do things as skillfully as old employees on their first day at work, newcomers can at least do some homework in advance to avoid being caught off guard, such as knowing the business scope and work content in advance. If the new students’ previous homework can’t be applied to practical work, they should at least show an active and studious state.
Encounter 4: Sitting at your desk doing nothing.
Narrator: Hui Jun
Position: Network Editor
The first day at work was extremely painful. I came to the company early, and after my colleagues in the personnel department signed a contract with me and introduced some company rules and regulations, I was arranged to sit in the right place. Because it was my first day in the company, I was not familiar with the business of the department. When the department manager saw me, he only provided some magazines and newspapers for me to read, so I turned over and over those sheets of paper all day.
At the end of the day, I spent it in such an extremely depressed and boring state. My colleagues around me are busy with their work, while I have nothing to do. Idle, I even unconsciously had an illusion of wasting my time and having no future in sight.
Therefore, for me, the first day of work is really on pins and needles, and the days are like years!
Comments on the future: Newcomers often face an idle situation on their first day at work. This is because most companies will familiarize them with the office environment on the first day. Newcomers may wish to take the initiative before receiving the specific work, such as observing what other colleagues are doing and offering help to their colleagues. After all, when they come to the company, they always need to pay labor. Even if they bring tea and water to their colleagues, it is better than sitting in a daze. Because doing so can at least let the old employees know that the new employees are enthusiastic. Why not do it?
Encounter 5: leaders don’t leave work, and they don’t dare to leave work.
Narrator: Jacky
Position: Salesman
I just jumped to work in this private enterprise a few months ago. On the first day of work, I found a very strange phenomenon in the company. Although the company stipulated that it was 5: 30 p.m., none of the department colleagues left work on time, especially the department head, who kept calling at the end of work time, which made me feel pressure and didn’t dare to be the first "activist" to get off work, so I waited until after 7: 00 p.m. that day, and I didn’t leave until the head got off work.
Slowly, I learned that the supervisor is a workaholic, and if he is on a whim, he may extend his working hours "indefinitely" after work. Even if everyone had finished the day’s work at that time, the supervisor wouldn’t leave, and colleagues in the department wouldn’t dare to leave work in order to have a good performance in front of the supervisor. After all, no one wants to leave a reputation of "not working hard enough".
Future Comments: The Worry-Free Future Forum (bbs.51job.com) once launched a survey on the question "Will people in the workplace leave work on time when they see their colleagues working overtime?" The results show that 63% of the netizens who participated in the survey said that their colleagues working overtime would make them feel very stressed and had to "go with the flow" because of the environmental impact. It can be seen that it is not uncommon for colleagues to work overtime, which makes them afraid to leave work easily. Especially for newcomers who don’t know the truth, they dare not "act rashly" on the first day of work. However, the author believes that the practice of not daring to leave work because other colleagues don’t leave work is one of the immature performances of people in the workplace. As long as the quality of work is guaranteed, the rest of the "fake diligence" is not worth promoting.
