1. The "iron rice bowl" in the workplace - irreplaceable
Lead:
In modern enterprises, there is no "iron rice bowl". In the past, the so-called "iron rice bowl" industry was born due to policy support. For people in the workplace, the real "iron rice bowl" is not elsewhere, it is in yourself, that is, your personal skills. "Iron rice bowl" is an irreplaceable human resource, which refers to a person's core competitiveness.
During the Renaissance, the painter Michelangelo had a violent quarrel with his patron Pope Julius XII during the construction of a marble monument, and Michelangelo was so angry that he even threatened to leave Rome. At the time, everyone thought that Julius XII would blame him, but unexpectedly, instead of punishing him, the Pope tried to keep him. This is because the Pope knew that Michelangelo would definitely find a new patron, but he would never be able to find another Michelangelo.
Michelangelo's artistic prowess made him irreplaceable, so his position was so indestructible that even the Pope gave him three points. During Nixon's presidency of the United States, the White House has undergone several power changes, but Kissinger has always had a place in the White House, not because he is the best diplomat in the United States, nor because of how close his relationship with the president is, but because he has been involved in many areas of the organization, is an indispensable member of the White House, and his departure will lead to great chaos, so it is irreplaceable.
In economics, it is emphasized that scarcity is expensive, and scarcity, in other words, can also be called irreplaceable. The same is true for talent, as a resource.
In modern enterprises, there is no "iron rice bowl". In the past, the so-called "iron rice bowl" industry was born due to policy support. For people in the workplace, the real "iron rice bowl" is not elsewhere, it is in themselves, which is their professional skills. "Iron rice bowl" is an irreplaceable human resource, which refers to a person's core competitiveness.
In modern enterprises, employees with high quality, high technology and high ability are often regarded as "cash cows", and they determine the market competitiveness of enterprises. However, there are not many such talents, and it is not easy to find someone with the same ability to replace them. As a result, companies tend to treat them well through promotions and salary increases to avoid poaching those talents from other companies. However, the average employee is different, and they have many alternatives. It is precisely because of the difference in the nature of talent and ordinary labor that it is understandable that the gap in salary is large. If you want to get the same treatment as them, you must first make yourself the same irreplaceable as them.
Society is constantly developing, and on the basis of distribution according to work, expanding distribution according to factors of production is undoubtedly an inevitable trend. While it is not possible to change the harsh realities of the market, it is possible to adapt to it. As a person in the workplace, we must keep pace with the times to update our concepts, continue to learn, and adapt to the needs of the new situation.
In fact, it is not only employees who are replaced, but also the competition between enterprises is the substitution between products. Only by constantly innovating and improving their own products can enterprises not be replaced by other people's products. Being an irreplaceable employee does not mean hiding your proprietary knowledge in your heart and not sharing it with others. Enhancing irreplaceability is to be able to play an important role in the company, and if you want to have a better career development, you must also learn to share.
If you are still holding on to the salary and complaining that you have not been promoted for a long time, then it is very likely that you have not yet created your own irreplaceability, have not become a key employee of the company, and do not have the core competitiveness required by the "iron rice bowl". Therefore, the most important thing to do is to replace complaining with actions, from now on, to create your own irreplaceability, which is not as difficult as imagined, you only need to pay a little more than others, and one day, you will become an irreplaceable outstanding person for others.
