Don t have real friends in the job site? Independent Politics: You must be a colleague first

Health     9:29am, 22 August 2025

After graduating from college, Anna and Elsa entered the most basic AE (Account Executive) in the same public relations company and entered the same team. Because the two of them are of similar age, and they both like the same Korean idol, and when they are working day and night, they not only help each other to buy breakfast, and they can get tickets to the iBon Roller Team concert, but also often work overtime together and quickly become good friends. Anna's personality is not limited to small things, Elsa is more inward-oriented and careful. Although they are all assigned to similar jobs, there is still some gap in work quality.

In the production of the simplest RSVP table used to confirm the attendance status of media events, Anna didn't know why, every time she submitted it, she had an error. Either she did not sort it according to the customer's desire, or the media reply status was not clearly written, and she didn't know whether the other party would come or not. The RSVP table was returned several times and was also changed several times. Later, the supervisor simply let Elsa take over and clean up what Anna hasn't done to save time. In addition to this, although Anna was responsible for the event venue, Elsa kindly accompanied Anna to survey the venue, and was also asked by Anna to contact the hotel to find out the equipment specifications and sizes that were not measured at the venue. After one or two times, Elsa had a lot of complaints and didn't dare to say it. She could only slowly leave Anna, and after doing her own thing, she would get off work soon to avoid being thrown into the head by what Anna hadn't done.

Many newcomers have just entered society from the school environment, and with the simple and romantic imagination in the campus, they think they can show their skills in the career field and make like-minded friends. The above hopes are actually possible, but they are all based on many premises. The most important one is that you must be a colleague first before you have the qualifications to be friends who are other people. How do you say this?

The relationships in the field are more like a team than saying that they are a family. They gather based on their respective goals, with the goal of winning the game, getting rankings, and earning business benefits such as rankings and surrounding product endorsements. In the company, people in the company also want to sell skills and knowledge to get a living salary. Whether they can get the largest amount of money in a limited time is the most practical goal.

The so-called colleagues are working together and completing something that one person cannot accomplish. Especially in a detailed organization, each person's work is a small part of the company's operation goal, and any person's contract will cause trouble for others or delay in their tasks. As a newcomer or newcomer in the field, in addition to allowing yourself to have a good understanding of others in the organization, or have a broad range of kindness, there are actually several most important knowledge and tasks:

1. Friends are not professionals, but training is the only one who is

Do not maintain unrealistic expectations for colleagues and colleagues, or may reduce disappointment. Each person's position and salary correspond to the expectations of organizational income and value. It's like a high-value concession for professional players, behind it is a big sports chain and endorsement business. Your colleagues are like you, all "soldiers" hired by others, and the organization expects to achieve many times the number of achievements in salary, rather than making friends. Ordinary people are all "army", and fighting on the front line is natural. Of course, the most feared thing is that they are a pig teammate who fails to make a contribution to the war and drag down their colleagues. They become colleagues who cannot work with, let alone become friends.

2. Quickly establish a small battle and establish a personal line impression. Know that

You must have met some people in your career. If the boss wants to talk about business, he must be there, or if he has any task, the first one is named? In addition to experience or age, this group of people who are criticized often have obvious routes that are "must be" in addition to their experience. In the newcomer era, when everyone knows nothing about you, it is even more important to connect tasks with your abilities. Whether it’s an internal and external activity of a company, becoming a helper for senior colleagues to solve problems, or being a translation or technical adviser for big bosses; just like Stephen Curry is a three-pointer, or Steve Jobs is a iPhone, the more impressive your personal route is, the more you have the opportunity to move from the side of the stage to the center of the stage and earn trust with your professionalism.

3. Don’t talk deep, but the relationship is not related or the situation is true.

The biggest difference between the job and the school is that your colleagues are usually more in harmony with you than in a professional team, just like a professional team. Everyone has different offensive and defensive positions. Only when everyone can fully exploit the part they do best can they have the opportunity to play well or complete a mission of hard work. The job site is also on the court. It is very good to have friendship outside of work, and it is okay to have no relationship. After all, the interests of the job site, promotion, personnel, factions and other complex relationships are all moving to everyone in it. Professional workers can set up the best protection for themselves, which is to show their own work, work with others with professionalism, and exchange professional respect, so that they can have the opportunity to establish long-term and long-term cooperation relationships.

The people who can continue to contact you or your colleagues after leaving the field are usually in addition to colleagues, and there are people who have worked together on projects and business challenges to build revolutionary emotions. These people will accompany you in your career and become good friends who can be ventilated, consulted, negotiated and grown together.
