The profession in the IT industry is better

The problem represents a good idea: "finding a job that is not easy to replace can be done securely. Even if you lose a job, it is also easy to find a new one (highly competitive )."

 

Analyze the first half of the sentence.

 

After several years of work, I have reached a consensus with my friends and colleagues: "Never think that you are irreplaceable. You must be ready to be unlocked at any time ."

 

Reasons

 

From the perspective of company management, if such a person or position exists, it is a risk to the company. Mature companies will avoid any potential risks as much as possible. Even if this person is following the company with all his heart and soul, he may not be able to swim to the beach any day to watch the sunrise, and he will be taken away by the waves. To avoid such risks, mature companies always have a set of systems and processes to control and a dedicated team to take charge of the issue. (For example, in our company, water dispensers are under risk control. Don't talk about people .)

 

Besides the consequences

 

From the company's perspective, mature companies should not set up such positions. But of course, in some places, people will inevitably become increasingly irreplaceable, but the company should not have such expectations, but should also be aware that this is a risk.

 

From an individual's point of view, in an irreplaceable position, if this person does not have enough subjective initiative, it is easy to fall into the comfortable zone, even for a person who knows what is going on, it will also affect the speed of his progress. Of course, this aspect varies from person to person, and from position to position. There is no need to expand, so we will not discuss it much.

 

In the last half, my point of view is very simple: strong competitiveness, easy to find next home, is to look at your own real level, rather than how irreplaceable you are in a previous company.

 

In a popular saying, "a stable job doesn't mean that you can work safely for the rest of your life, but that when you lose your job today, have the confidence and ability to find a new one tomorrow."
