In the first year of andaxin, I was unable to adapt to working overtime. Senior didn't even get off work on time. In the company, until three o'clock AM, they were all colleagues working on computers like sculptures. In the past, my friends could not attend a party or dinner party, and sometimes I would like to give me a call to greet them. At that time, I really wanted to cry and secretly made up my mind, I only work here for one year, and then find a new job to live a normal off-duty life.
I have heard two stunned conversations by senior. One of them said, "I slept on my desk at four o'clock in the morning until seven o'clock AM. It was so comfortable ." Another said, "Oh! You have a good rest !" After hearing these words, I almost burst into tears. Oh, my God, what kind of company is this! What kind of employees are there! But what they said is not an exaggeration. From the official start of work in March, I almost never went home before three in the morning. I spent the whole month in a pile of paper to call the customer and prepare the paper. I get used to yelling at customers. After a customer breaks down my phone, I will pick up a toilet and drop my phone number, reapply the information I need until the Customer agrees to provide it. Sometimes I am so tired that I will rest on the desk for a while, but my mind is still full of numbers and pending issues. They remind me that there is still a job to do, and I don't even have time to cry. Many of my colleagues who joined the company with me were unable to cope with such a great deal of work at the beginning. We were just in our early twenties, but we had to begin to take responsibility for the number of listed projects. Senior is even more pitiful. At three o'clock every morning, we have already returned home, so the senior can begin to review our work for a day. I often hear my colleagues crying in the bathroom. I know that they are under too much pressure, because I can't stand it, And I will cry in the bathroom, and then dry my tears and continue fighting. Once I reported my work to a senior at the company, and suddenly the senior of another project sitting behind me burst into tears while there was no precursor. We listened silently, someone handed her a paper towel, someone patted her on the shoulder, but no one tried to persuade her because I
As we all know, she just wants to let it go. After crying, she still has a lot of work to do. Every time I talk to others about how hard my work is, it seems that others do not understand it very well because they have never experienced the life we have experienced.
Two "crashes" that are hard to forget"
When I was working in the first year, I had two crashes. Once I had a small project, I went on a business trip for a month. I went to work with the customer at eight o'clock in the morning, worked overtime at in the evening, and slept for only three hours a day. At the end of the project, senior and another colleague I worked with fell ill. I must be responsible for flattening the internal communication of this project. This is something I have never done before, however, the cruel reality is that I only have three days, because three days later I had to go to Shenyang to work in another project. At anda mail, no one can make excuses and no one can accept your reasons. because work is your own, no one else can help you. One day before I went to Shenyang, I had a great night crying and finished my work. I went home and picked up my parents to help me pick up my luggage and went straight to the airport the next morning. The second crash was caused by a large project ??? I can't take it anymore because I have been working for a long time, no Sunday, no holidays, no appointments, and no meals. One night at, when copying customer information, I stared at the huge automatic stapler attached to the photocopier and thought: if I put my finger into it now, I will be able to take sick leave tomorrow. I spent ten minutes in front of the photocopier and thought about whether or not I would like to do this. But I looked at my colleagues sitting far away and everyone was very busy, I suddenly felt that I had to shoulder my work and responsibilities, because we were a team? A group with the spirit of work. I think the reason why no one lied at the time that they had a fever or caught a cold at work may be that the spirit of work between colleagues was getting infected with each other, we know that only by uniting each other can we complete a project without any link. The responsibility is the first class I learned at anda mail.
This kind of life is cruel, and we are accelerating depreciation of our youth. One of my colleagues was sitting on the opposite side of me. For some time, he felt a stomachache, but he had not gone to the hospital for a long time because of the tight schedule, it was not until one day that it had a bad time to go to the hospital for examination. It was the late stage of rectal cancer. My colleague and I were very old. After passing the CPA Examination, GMAT scored well, but I never saw him again.
At the same time, this kind of life also has its intangible value. I began to feel unafraid to face the pressure. I began to think that I could handle various customers with confidence, no one can question my work ability and pressure capacity, just like the song we often play during our training in Shenzhen, "simplythebest ". In addition, because we need to prepare an English work paper, my "English communication" will no longer be "low ". In fact, at that time, life was very simple. We only needed to work, and the relationship between our colleagues was simple. No one would be able to communicate with each other or think about the boss's favor, because we really don't have time to think about these things. An Da Xin's hierarchical concept is very strict. People who came a year earlier than me are my superiors. In addition, he has a one-year working experience in da Xin, which can surprise beginners. When asking questions, he must prepare lessons first, if you don't want to ask, you can ask "Can you do this?" instead of "How can I do this ".
Pay and return
The real value of this kind of life begins with my contact with BA. Ba is short for businessaudit. It is a cutting-edge audit concept implemented by andat, and its core is the internal control risk of the customer. We started to get involved in various areas of the enterprise without being stuck in financial figures. A customer in Shenyang is the first company that audited the BA method. At that time, I was an employee in the second year. We call it "ESA", which means "experiencedstaff ". Due to the shortage of senior in the company, many senior seek another job or study abroad because they are too tired or have other reasons. So I took a colleague from the first year to do the preliminary work of this project. During the day, we spent ten hours visiting the customer's purchasing department, sales department, marketing department, equipment department, and workshop, talking with the person in charge of various aspects to learn how the company operates, I understand the enterprise's procurement process, sales process, production process, and cost process. I have to say nothing when I return to the hotel at night. In the evening, we need to describe all the processes in English from start to end and draw a flowchart. One process is usually written from eight o'clock to five o'clock, and then we start to ask another process at the next day. A week later, I watched my colleagues and I write a 50-page Process report. In addition to a sense of accomplishment, I felt exhausted and frustrated.
After one year of BA refining, I gradually began to be good at communicating with various people. When I used to know the situation with the customer, I was always afraid that the customer would treat me as a child or I was too slow to respond, so I will be very nervous. But now, I am confident that I can fully understand what the customer said, and quickly find out unreasonable aspects of the process from my mind to continue to ask questions. I don't know if the subsequent event was related to the implementation of BA by Alibaba Cloud security, but I am sure that ba is a great challenge and exercise for individuals, we are no longer simply looking at financial auditing, but more closely following the consulting process. We also have a systematic understanding of various industries. I have long forgotten my commitment to "only working here for two years". I began to like the clean relationship between my colleagues and the radical way of working. I don't often complain with my friends about my hard work because they always say, "How much do you earn ." In the past, when I was in andat, I felt that my contribution was not matched. However, it was only now that PwC found that andat was really good. We have a long salary every year, with a long salary ratio of about 40% and sometimes higher. The four major differences are that we have overtime, and a senior can spend as much as four thousand yuan on two-day weekend overtime. However, there is no overtime for the other "four major" senior. But at anda mail, no one works overtime for overtime, because we would rather spend a few more hours to supplement our sleep.
Goodbye, my anda mail
In this way, I have been working in andaxin for three years like a robot. after attending the senior training organized by Kinabalu in Malaysia, I became a senior, everything remained calm until the event broke out. When the US Department of Justice announced the formal prosecution of andaxin Houston, andaxin collapsed instantly, and 85,000 of its employees were merged into four other accounting firms, only one headquarters in Switzerland was reserved to accept huge amounts of compensation and legal proceedings. The Greater China region and PwC have merged.
Everything was just an instant, because we had no time to worry about what happened to AMDA in the United States, and we never doubted the ability of this "century-old store" to resist external pressure, however, a financial giant collapsed in his empire.
On that day, we were still working, because we still had a lot of work to finish. while reading the CNN reports, we wrote memo in our hands without a stop, the pity and sadness in my heart can only be released when I occasionally look up and see my colleagues' eyes. Yes, I once dreamed that my andaxin would be wiped out in an instant. At PwC, I was the senior of the next year. Life has not changed. Most of the projects I have previously worked on have been transferred to PwC for the convenience of customers. Therefore, we are still the last group of people to go out of international trade every day. The taxi driver will still stare at our IBM computer after queuing up in the international trade center downstairs and ask, "Is it andaxin again ?"
While AMDA does not exist, what I learned in AMDA will accompany my life. I am not afraid of customers. I am a child again, because my four-year practical work may be his ten years plus total time. After arriving at PwC, we are working hard to learn PwC's audit method. After all, puhua is the top five in the world. I believe that such a company will certainly have the same precious company resources and corporate culture as it is in Anda mail. In the past, AMDA did not feel any pressure on merger, because you have to admit that strength is the final weapon of the competition. The only thing that has changed is that we no longer call AMDA.
I still live as before. In February July, I caught up with overseas listing projects of Sinotrans. after just a few months of Idle Work, I started to work every day until five o'clock AM. I did not go to bed for 48 hours, from the previous day to the next day. When I got home and looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn't even cry. So this project made me face the third crash after I chose this profession. Now, I am conducting an annual audit for another company with a lot of problems. I am always faced with Morgan Stanley's review. In this way, I continue my previous life, working overtime, sleeping, and working overtime. I spent most of my time with my colleagues, maintaining a simple relationship with my colleagues and working hard.
However, there is no andaxin.
