On the first day of employment, I didn't open the door to the unit, I called the boss and told me to wait at the door, half an hour later, I saw my colleague come with breakfast, and the boss didn't come until noon, I was happy in my heart!
I'm Li Ming, a newcomer who is full of longing for the workplace. Today is my first day of employment, and I arrived at the unit early, only to find that the door was closed and there was silence. I looked at my watch to make sure I hadn't misremembered the time I had come to work, and I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
I dialed the boss's phone, and his voice sounded a little sleepy: "Xiao Li, you go to the door and wait, I'll be there soon." After that, there was a hung up beep on the other end of the phone.
I stood at the door, the morning breeze was a little cool, but my mood was like the mist that the breeze could not dissipate, full of doubts and uneasiness. As the minutes ticked by, I counted silently in my mind, waiting for the arrival of the boss.
About half an hour later, a colleague hurried over with breakfast and was a little surprised to see me standing at the door: "New here, why don't you go in?" I explained the situation with a wry smile, he laughed and patted me on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the boss is often like this, let's have breakfast first." ”
I took the breakfast he handed me, and I had mixed feelings. This colleague's name is Zhang Wei, he is a warm-hearted person, and he chatted with me about the company while eating breakfast, which made me gradually understand this unfamiliar environment.
It was noon, and the sun was high and the sun was a little dazzling. I looked at the door that was still closed, and the uneasiness in my heart gradually replaced by an inexplicable snickering joy. At this time, Zhang Wei leaned over and whispered, "Do you know? The boss is often late, and we have long been used to it." ”
I was stunned, not knowing how to respond for a moment. Zhang Wei continued: "However, it also gives us an opportunity to do a lot of things, learn new things, and improve ourselves while the boss is away. ”
My heart moved, yes, instead of complaining here, I should use this time to enrich myself. I took out the professional books I had brought with me, sat down on the steps of the doorway, and began to read them earnestly.
In this way, my first day at the company, although I did not meet the boss, had an unexpected start. I've come to understand that not everyone in the workplace will follow the rules, and sometimes, unexpected circumstances can become opportunities for us to grow.
From that day on, I learned to think for myself and to find order in the midst of chaos. Whenever I find myself in a situation like this, I use the time I have waited to improve myself instead of complaining needlessly.
A few months later, I was able to get a promotion thanks to my own efforts. At the meeting announcing the promotion, the boss patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiao Li, you are working hard, I am very optimistic about you." ”
I smiled, but there was a hint of happiness in my heart. If I hadn't chosen to wait at the door that day and just left, maybe I wouldn't be where I am today.
The workplace is like a war without gunpowder, and everyone is working hard for their goals. Sometimes, a casual wait, an inadvertent choice, can change our lives.
