Use Your Wisdom to Step on the Boss and Reach the Top

Lin Buran, who holds a master's degree in economics from Peking University, came to Beijing alone after graduation. She originally just wanted to find a first-class company, give herself a beautiful resume, and test whether what she had learned over the years could be used in the real world. But reality did not give her this opportunity. The resume screening of first-class companies failed again and again, and the interviews of ordinary companies also failed repeatedly. She even failed to apply for an accountant in a lumber factory that she applied for next. When there were only a few dollars left in the bank card, Lin Oran finally understood one thing - Excellence in school cannot be directly converted into bargaining chips in the workplace. In order to stay, she began to lower her requirements from "finding a good job" to "as long as I have a job." But after actually entering the workplace, she realized that finding a job was only the first step. There is no standard answer here. The boss can use "for your own good" to increase your work, turn vague goals into your responsibilities, or take credit when you succeed and pass the responsibility to your subordinates when you fail. Faced with PUAs in the workplace again and again, Lin did not choose to argue head-on. She started recording. Record tasks, record data, record emails, record meeting conclusions, and record every change in responsibility boundaries. She uses economics to analyze interests, mathematics to organize data, logic to dismantle rules, and actions to build her own bargaining chip. Starting from a humble employee, she gradually understood the company and the business.
