Body:

I will first talk about general rules that apply to any position, and then talk about the survival rules that should be paid attention to for different positions.

General rules

Rule 1: Patience is a virtue.
In order to live, you must endure it many times! Endure the unreasonable scolding of your leaders, the white eyes of your colleagues, the unreasonable troubles of customers, the pressure on your work, the congestion of commuting, and the traffic jam, ......
Don't let me fall in the air for a moment. Of course, patience is to fight back in the future. Lao Tzu does not need to be afraid for ten years. You only need to endure for 1-2 years, and you will have a chance to fight back!

Rule 2: Do not threaten your boss.
The "boss" here refers to your leadership, the leadership of the leadership, and the boss of the company.
The master has always been a secret of ministers, and he does not want to be killed inexplicably. He must be a secret. It is your way to promote your boss so that you can be promoted to the position of the boss! Any thoughts and actions you want to step on your boss's head are stupid unless you are fraudulent enough.

Rule 3: you must love the company.
Many companies like to engage in activities, such as tourism, dinner, and expansion activities. The famous saying is: Enhancing the feelings of everyone and the sense of belonging of the company. If you work at work hours and the company costs all-inclusive, you will certainly be very happy. However, companies usually schedule their work hours for the purpose of not affecting work. Some companies require the participation of all employees, and some companies will say very humane: because of non-work hours, employees who do have something can not come. After hearing this, you should not be very happy. This is a huge trap. These so-called company activities are just a means for the boss to arrange the venue. All the words are high-sounding, if you don't want to come, someone will remember it and settle it with you later.
In fact, we have been so hard at work that we always want to have a good rest and have a good time on weekends, but if the company is unfortunately arranging activities at these times, you must be very "love" the company, for the sake of "love", you can sacrifice your personal life!

Rule 4: Sometimes you have to install fake dogs ".
Let's doSoftwareDevelopers are honest and straightforward people who are eager to do hypocritical things. However, you are often surrounded by flattering and spoofed things. Sometimes you will become a pawn of others to do these hypocritical things.
You have three options:
1) the same flow of dirt, the wolf is a rape.
2) never resort to fraud. The price is that you will be a martyr.
3) Build a fake dog on the intermediate route ".
You don't want to be a martyr or a zombie. "fake dog" is a good choice. You can survive in the cracks and wait for opportunities with patience. Another thing to remember is: Wear thousands of clothes, and do not wear a fart! Even if you are not the best-performing, you need to take two measures to guard yourself.

Rule 5: obey and never go beyond authorization.
If you do not agree with your leadership decision-making, you can put forward your ideas. If your leadership persists in his ideas, even if you think it is inappropriate, you must resolutely implement them, it is absolutely impossible to do anything illegal. Your leadership is asymmetric with you, and your leadership is not convenient to tell you the basis for some decision-making. Excessive authority, especially the higher your direct authority, is a super Taboo! Do not make your claim. You must ask for help.

Rule 6: continuous charging.
Continuous charging is the most important rule. You can take advantage of any opportunities and work hours to learn how to make money. It is the best practice to defend yourself with a skill. If you have mastered the company's core technologies, mastered important marketing channels, and mastered a certain lifeline of making money in the company, no one will dare to beat you in the company. With continuous charging, you will have more chips and can make more choices.

Rule 7: losing money is not necessarily a blessing
Some people say that "losing" is not only a kind of realm, but also a kind of wisdom.
But the question is: Do you suffer from the loss of "Good Guys" or "bad guys?
The loss of "Good Guys" does not matter much. The more you eat, the better you eat. However, the loss of "bad guys" not only increases your losses, but also promotes the bad guys, lead to greater losses to the company or others!
We generally do not find cheap people for it purposes. We are generally looking for cheap objects. When we encounter "bad guys", we may endure them. This kind of thing has happened to me several times. "Bad Guys" will complain first, not only looking for your leaders, but also making public opinions, it will make "all over the world" think it is your fault! Sometimes you may encounter less-wise leaders who like to listen to one-sided words or have an "ulterior motives" relationship with the "Wicked". You really have nothing to tell. Sometimes you get bored with these boring "frame-ups" and "false accusations", so you are too lazy to compete for these meaningless things.
The following solutions are for your reference:
Best strategy: Make yourself an irreplaceable role in the company. This makes it impossible for you to suffer from physical harm. It can help you at most.
Zhongce: strong first! It doesn't mean you let others suffer first, but you need to maintain a sense of touch at ordinary times. Before someone may make you suffer, you must take action first. Before someone else wants to report to you, you should first make a small report saying that someone is going to make your small report. Leaders generally take the lead. The bad guys take advantage of this, and you need to take a step faster than him!
Best Practice: justify your efforts! This is very hard and passive! It is often not in line with your own character. It is really annoying to toss these things. If you don't want to argue or the debate is ineffective, remember that "patience is a virtue "!

You are a grassroots employee!

Rule 8: recognize the value of your position.
The basic positions of IT companies are generally programmers, test engineers, implementation engineers,Configuration ManagementPersonnel, Quality Assurance engineers, etc. If the company wants to lay off employees, the majority of employees will be laid off. The importance of these grass-roots jobs is also sorted, from important to unimportant. The general order is as follows: programmers, test engineers, implementation engineers, configuration administrators, and quality assurance engineers. The less important the job is, the more likely it is to be killed.
WriteCodeIt is always more important than other grass-roots jobs. If you are a company boss, you must take down unimportant jobs one by one, and the rest is definitely a development job. If you are in the software industry and do not want to sell, we recommend that you start with a programmer. If you are not interested in writing code and have chosen other positions, you must be aware of the value of your position and do not need to complain about it, it is better to constantly increase the value of your position at work.

Rule 9: do more.
Is "less about doing more" a kind of work virtue? You must never think so! If you "say more and do less", you will only become the first generation to talk about and talk over the facts. If you "say less and do more", you will become the old scalpers who work hard and drive your life; not only do you have to have actual performance, but you also need to take the initiative to show your talent and achievements. "speaking more and doing more" is the way to success.
Many developers do not have the ability to express words or words. If you do, you must pay attention to the improvement step by step. at ordinary times, you can take the initiative to communicate, write project documents, and write blogs, improve your verbal and verbal skills. Strong technology, strong expression ability, you will be invincible!

You are the project manager!

Rule 10: Do not do projects that are impossible to succeed.
Leaders like to "pat your shoulders" and entrust your project to you. You should not be proud of yourself. Many times it is a huge pitfall waiting for you to jump. Many projects are born with a "head shot", so it is doomed that some projects will not succeed. If you do such a project, no matter how powerful you are, you will not be able to escape the fate of failure. The project manager is a hero of success or failure. Many people will wait for this opportunity to let you go.
How can we avoid unsuccessful projects?
The first opportunity is the key! You should always pay attention to what new projects the company may have recently and the background of these projects, and determine the success opportunities of these projects from the general trend. If this project cannot be successful, it may fall into your head. You need to find a way to "give your excuse". You absolutely cannot say that you do not want to do this project. You have the following method:
1) take the initiative to undertake another project that has the opportunity to succeed, so that you cannot leave.
3) create the illusion that your current work is very busy, so that your leaders cannot arrange for you to create new projects.
4) Work out a business trip as the new project is to be implemented.
5) ask for leave! Sick leave, marriage, maternity leave, or anything.
6) Another trick is to let others die. Someone is always responsible for this project. If you don't need to, you just need to find a way to let others go.
What should I do if I really cannot give up?
You still need to do your best to do a good job in this project, but you must report the problems, difficulties, and progress of this project to your leaders and relevant personnel at any time. It is absolutely not a solution to conceal the problem, simply expose the problem at the beginning and lower the expectations of the leaders. It's better to give your leaders a "surprise" at the end, and you will die badly.

Rule 11: Seize the opportunity to claim permissions.
Project managers often have the largest responsibilities, but have little power and few resources available. The best time for leaders to "pat their shoulders" and entrust their projects with knowledge is to seize the opportunity to ask for power! At this time, if the leaders want you, they will never say the opposite. As long as you pay attention to the inch, there is a great chance of success! You can ask for additional personnel, resources, and cooperation from a certain department.

Rule 12: Try different projects.
You need to select different types of projects to train yourself and make yourself fully functional. As long as it is not an impossible project, and you have not tried the type, you can try. In just two or three years, you can become an experiencedProject ManagementDaniel.

Rule 13: capture the most valuable product lines.
If you want to develop in the company for a long time, you must plan to lead the most valuable projects and the most valuable product development. Let the company make the most money on projects or product lines under your control, so that you can get more power and more income!
However, when practicing this rule, you may violate another rule "do not threaten your boss ". Software companies may be the easiest companies to start. Some developers in the company leave their original companies and take the original companies apart from each other, so your boss will definitely defend against you! No matter whether you have a new heart or not, you must reveal your loyalty to your boss from time to time.
If you are so outstanding that you will not win the favor of your boss, you will often be assigned to some less-core projects, and the company will not be worthy of nostalgia, you have to choose something else!

Rule 14: Avoid the boss from directly directing your project
The boss directly directs the project you are responsible for. It will make you suffer. Especially when the boss is half a bucket of water but is very conceited, it will make you "miserable ". You have three options:
1. To put it bluntly, try to eliminate the inappropriate decision of Boss. However, if you do this, it may be "ten dead and no dead". Apart from being capable of spitting out, all you have left is the fate of the boss carrying various "Hats, finally, you can only choose to leave.
2. the only thing in life is what the boss says. This is a good way for Mingzhe to keep his body safe. Anyway, he doesn't listen to his opinion. The final success or failure of the project is not a problem for me. You just pay Lao Tzu on time.
3. Execute the boss decision, but try to eliminate the negative impact. You don't want to confront your boss, but you want to succeed in the end. This is your best choice, but it is also the most painful, tested, and tortured way. Every time you feel pain, you can think about the article of the ancients, "the sky will fall to the ranks of the people of Sri Lanka, and you will suffer first ......".
Analyze why the boss is bored and directly directs the project?
Cause 1: The boss attaches special importance to a project and thinks it is necessary to conduct the command in person.
Cause 2: The boss is not at ease with you. He must personally direct and supervise you.
Cause 3: The boss is a technical engineer and interested in the technology of a project.
If it is cause 2, you can find a way to reassure the boss, such as reporting the progress to him, listing detailed plans for the boss, and reporting more work results, so that the boss can rest assured of you, in this way, he will feel at ease letting you start your work.
For other reasons, there is no good way. You can only find a way to avoid being stuck in such a project. If we encounter such a situation, we should remember what the ancients said: "The sky will be reduced to the people of Sri Lanka, and we must first suffer from painstaking efforts ......".

You are a department manager!

Rule 15: be the most valuable department.
The company naturally positions such departments accordingly. You have become the leader in this department, and you need to find ways to make this department the most valuable department of the company. Making your own department bring the biggest profit to the company is more effective than doing anything, and it is absolutely hard for others to touch you.

Rule 16: Consider subordinates.
In addition to your strong leader, a strong Department also needs to be supported by a united and powerful team. Strive for reasonable rights and interests for your subordinates, provide growth opportunities for your subordinates, and impart knowledge to your subordinates. Remember, if your subordinates are mean, they will always bring you retribution.

Rule 17: be a responsible leader.
If a department has any problems, it is the primary responsibility to be a leader. In particular, when senior leaders blame you, you must take over your responsibilities instead of assigning them to your subordinates. If you do this, it will only make the senior leaders and your subordinates despise you. Similarly, if the Department has made outstanding achievements, do not forget the merits of your subordinates.

Rule 18: take the initiative to prevent cold arrows.
The Mountain View of departments is a common situation for every company. It is common for departments to be jealous and take the cold arrows of each other.
This may result in a strategic mistake in the company's architecture and department's assessment methods. If you think your boss is wise, you can propose an improvement plan, maybe this is an opportunity for further improvement.
Another possibility is that you have to be careful. Many company bosses like power checks and balances and enjoy the "Catfish Effect". They like to fight your departments to stimulate them to do better, it also prevents a single department from threatening him. When you meet such a boss, you should not "Enter the words". You will understand why many emperors used power games in ancient times.
What you need to do is to survive in such a power game. You have the following options:
1) You must be a mean villain. First, you must be a strong opponent.
2) work hard to defend against the cold arrow.
3) take the initiative to attack the enemy before putting an arrow in the air!
If you don't want to be a mean person or a passive hacker, you need to take the initiative to put an end to the cold arrow, so that people who want to harm you cannot start.
When you get tired of such a power game, let's get away and create your own career!

You are Vice President!

Rule 19: understand the difference between "Main" and "Deputy.
Don't think that you can be a vice president. The difference between your current job and your deputy role is super big. In fact, the deputy is only an extension of the full-time work. The main operator usually asks the deputy to do the following:
1) is responsible for a certain aspect of the work of the main operator, but major decisions must be submitted to the official post for approval.
2) resolutely implement an active decision and report the situation to it at any time.
3) troublesome, ceremonial, and unimportant chores.
4) The next rule will be further explained in the case of "no light.
The Deputy does not have much decision-making power. You only have the right of suggestion. You should raise your level again within a limited space to make yourself ready. As a deputy, you must remember an important rule mentioned above: "obey and never overstep the authority ".

Rule 20: resolutely do things that are unwilling to do.
It is generally the work of a person who is not willing to take measures in person. You generally do not want to take the initiative to take this kind of thing, but most of them will "take the initiative" to assign it to you, and you must never postpone it! Sometimes, you still need to complete the dismissal work that won't be paid for compensation. You cannot push the responsibility to the "forehand" during the dismissal process ", you must "Break your mind" on behalf of the company's interests to accomplish these things. These things will make you suffer! How can we solve this problem? This is your experience in life.

Rule 21: Be careful when you become a scapegoat for the "forehand.
"Shoushou" let you eat a black pot. If you can't drop him, you can only eat it! No matter how friendly the operator is to you at ordinary times, everything can be done once it involves his personal interests. In normal times, we should be alert and try to break away from the Black Hand of the "main hand. In case of misfortune, "eat dead cats", remember another rule: "patience is a virtue "!

Summary:

Some people have a lot of money, but they are still not satisfied, so they are not happy! Some people live a dull life, but they are very happy! Whether you are happy or not comes from your own mentality. Everyone has their own life values. Some people pursue progress and others pursue plain things. As long as they do not violate morality, they are good life values. When you go to work, your values in life conflict with reality. Do you want to be a "Good Person" or "bad person", or between "good person" and "bad person? What kind of mask should we bring to be a human? Every day, there may be some "painful" options.

I personally like the "Sunshine" life, but if others are not in the sunshine in real work, only you are in the sunshine, you will suffer! To be a good person, you must have a higher level of wisdom than a bad person. In other words, you must be more powerful than a bad person. Even if we don't count others, but how can we avoid being calculated by others? Will our life be tiring?

All the rules in this article are based on my personal character and life values. They are summed up by my years of experience, but they are not suitable for everyone. Everyone should have their own standards. Whether you are happy or not depends on your own mentality and select a work environment that does not conflict with your life values. This may be a suitable practice.

In fact, there is no perfect choice in reality. If you can work in a company for a short period of time (for example, two or three years), it will temporarily be in your personal interests, this is a good choice. When you work in a company, you may encounter a lot of bad things. You need to think about what you can get in addition to these bad things in this company? When you want to leave a company, do you have to think about whether there is anything worth your stay? In fact, it is to determine whether it is worthwhile, but the measurement criteria are different for everyone.

Don't blame yourself for all kinds of "unfortunate" Experiences (much more unfortunate than you), don't be jealous of people who look better than you (people who are more popular ), think about what you want and live each day! Finally, I wish you all the best in your life in the workplace!
