Programmer promotion why so difficult?

I was originally on the Weibo hellodba made such a: "Now the internal promotion more and more difficult, but the external P is more and more, so there are many people have chosen to quit," I saw from the three The two sides answered this question briefly: "In fact, there is always packaging outside, and internal staff are physically PK, which is a lose; while the outside is always a small stake, but a group of internal Lot of who want to rise who are hurt feelings, the two lose; outside are usually recommended by the corporate chiefs, so there is no particularly significant opportunity, that person will not come, and the internal will not explain the results Been absorbed by big brothers, it is difficult to have a chance, the three lose. " After discussing each other constantly, I also unfulfilled, so continue to write.

In this world, there is a special kind of hard-working human life, hard to what extent? They live frugally save money to buy a house, but the price is more and more expensive; external competition is fierce, their work is very busy, Day by day. Technology updates are rare in the industry. They also have to adjust their moods at any time to learn knowledge. They have long been working with machines, most of whom are dumb and simple, and many of them are not examples In fact, this type of person is a programmer.

It is such a class of programmers living so hard life, but within the company is difficult to obtain a fair chance of promotion, foreign monks are always constantly breaking the balance, and even the newly graduated monks take more than the old monk , Which is a rare spectacle across the industry, IT people fortunate experience.

A start-up company, a programmer to leave, the boss did not even ask him to direct the views of opinion, agreed, did not retain, then cursed unfaithful, this man took 3k, took 2 years, after he left, The boss hired a new face with 5k, but just do not want to promote this old man, do not want to add even if it is 4k.

A listed company, the game department suddenly dropped an external air from the leadership, because the original big brother was dug after the remaining people who have raised any opinion, it is difficult to convince the public, inviting people from the outside can not stop the situation, this As soon as the people come, everyone is united, united and fighting with this individual, but in the end they have reconciled themselves.

A large international company, a person forged resumes, packing flower jasper, access to higher vocational, work mainly subordinates to complete, he only need Huizhong report can be, the more mixed road wider, until one day the incident, is still a high official .

An IT firm, a Tsinghua classmates, solemn, said to me, XX (can be understood as online games, search, e-business any) is graduating from 00-02 Tsinghua opportunities for these people, we are stronger than someone Ten times also have no chance, also have to start from below, the search does not belong to me, the person went to a financial analysis software company, is currently senior executives, while staying in an IT business, other students are still under hard pressure life.

Cite so many examples, I would like to say why not give you promotion of this issue, or promotion is difficult, why?

1) big brother's problem

Your promotion difficulties, the biggest subjective reason in yourself, the biggest objective reason in your immediate boss. Fu said the responsible person, at present, many business leaders are unqualified, most of them after 80, there is no ideological basis for the sake of others, blindly consider themselves, regardless of subordinates, once I said to you, you say you are qualified Leadership, you tell your subordinates where each employee rent, how much rent per month, I agree that you are qualified leadership, the result he was not ashamed. You can not be promoted, largely due to your leadership did not help you, even how much your monthly rent do not know, you expect him to help you improve the technical level to help you advance?

2) Gangster's big brother's problem

You big brother's big brother, the level is very high, he needs to introduce fresh blood, he knows what this team is missing, this is his thinking, he needs to find cattle to fill this gap, so a brilliant cattle came in (Although two years later will be 泯 for everyone) to bring fresh blood to the team, but your big brother can not go up, your big brother on the edge of the position occupied by this person, where is your location?

3) The company's problem

Re-education and training of employees from all major corporations are different, but most of the slogans are the same. They are the most nonplussed words in training and growing up at work. Many large foreign companies are well-trained and well-trained Education program, will give employees a chance to recharge, and to give them a perfect training, so that he can be newly promoted position well qualified. Large companies in the country are looking for cattle, that is, do not want to train their own, the reason is, do not explain, you know.

4) Your brother

Many times you can not get promoted precisely because of the brothers fighting with you, they work very well, you promoted, and how do they do? This is also a balance of the problem, you work hard, why did not you drive your brother Work together, you go up, you need the support of these brothers, they will support you? There was a saying, I think it is memorable, "When everyone thinks you should be promoted, that is, you promoted It's time, savor, it makes sense.

5) your own question

In the end, you can not afford to raise your job. Your daily work is very busy. There is no time for recharging. There is a lot of work pressure every day. Too late to learn. Every day, this year is a total loss. Did you improve your efficiency? Are you surrounded by friends and help you? Do you know what you want to learn? Do you know what kind of work can exceed the expectations of the leadership? You do not have the promotion and leadership beyond the expectations of the leadership Did I communicate? I was in a business, and almost all of my people around the salary increase and promotion are obtained only after communicating with the leadership. Expect to take the initiative to give you a raise, it is better to look forward to their own communication.

6) Or your own question

You choose the industry is not right, the company is not right, just like I said Tsinghua students this example. If you can choose a big company, PK to a vote of cattle up, if you can not afford to go to mature large companies, but also psychological expectations high salary promotion is not realistic, it is better to go to a promising small and medium companies, to create their own Career.

From the business point of view, how to create a reasonable and fair promotion mechanism?

1) First-class Gangster will recruit first-class people, the second-class Gangster will only trick third-class people, so the company must be first-class leaders, values ​​can fly, the system is reliable, not familiar History, do not understand Chinese culture, it is recommended not to be the number one company.

2) promotion system must be fair, for everyone, every level, which is often difficult to do, front-end and back-office is not good, but the front-end can do front-end ratio. Must have an open and fair competition, has been promoted. For example, a company to do a matrix decomposition of high-dimensional problems, we have equal opportunity, the fastest performance, the best results, the winner promotion, to lead the team.

3) Encourage the staff of the company to exchange, spread and help others' culture. If a person is helpful and helps others to improve their technical level, this person will ascend to the top, everyone will be the top, on the contrary, you are conservative, do not help others, There is no one who supports promotion either.

4) Opportunities for employees to provide some challenges and provide more resources, such as a company's lightning plan, beyond the Google search results, is a good example, to dare to give some of the more courageous staff more resources in the Test in harsh combat and provide full ammunition.

5) Give internal training opportunities, invite professors and professors to give lectures, and send staff to the United States to inspect meetings and even work. Training opportunities are a very good incentive for enterprises in developed countries. Training up to 5 individuals in one job and getting the best appointment is a very fair opportunity. Training institutions are independent enough.

There are many ways, as long as this first-rate big brother, the heart has a gang of beaten and killed brother, there are always ways, do not always consider their own performance, consider their own gauze hat, it is difficult to do this difficult , But the system is not the only big guy can make, any staff should actively participate in the process of system establishment, should dare to put forward their own point of view, after all, the company is everyone's company.

I wrote so much. I wrote this blog as a decade-long programmer. I worked hard to be objective, but I believe I am more representative of the labor position.
