Dear audience friends, do you believe in "overnight success"? If you believe it, then allow me to shatter your illusions with Li Jiaqi's story. From a grassroots anchor to a business tycoon, Li Jiaqi has completed an amazing transformation in just a few years. However, behind success often lies an unknown price. When he says that "he will not retain employees who want to leave", should we applaud this "maturity"? Let's walk into Li Jiaqi's world and see how this former "civilian idol" put on the mask of "capitalist" step by step.
From anchor to boss: Li Jiaqi's gorgeous turn
Li Jiaqi, the "lipstick brother" who once made countless women scream, now seems to be more and more "boss-like". From "have you worked hard" to "not retaining employees who want to leave", we can't help but ask: Is this still the Li Jiaqi from the perspective of ordinary people?
Change always happens quietly and inadvertently. Just like the big boy next door that we liked, before we knew it, he had already put on a suit and stepped into the office building on Financial Street. Li Jiaqi's transformation may be such a process.
When he first entered the live broadcast industry, Li Jiaqi quickly gained fans with his unique eloquence and affinity. He speaks as fast as a machine gun, and the mantra of "OMG" and "buy it, buy it" is even more impressive. At that time, he was like a good friend of our shoppers, carefully selecting for us and fighting for discounts for us.
However, with the explosion of fans and the expansion of influence, Li Jiaqi's identity is also quietly changing. From a simple anchor with goods to a business tycoon with his own team, this process seems logical, but it also makes many fans feel confused and lost.
"If Zhu Wangwang wants to leave his job, I won't keep it."
As soon as this sentence came out, netizens fryed. Some people say that this is the norm in the workplace, while others think that Li Jiaqi has changed. But I have to admit that this is indeed what a boss would say.
The warmth and coldness of workplace relationships: emotions vs interests
Behind this seemingly cold statement, we may be able to get a glimpse of the essence of workplace relationships. Zhu Wangwang, as a member of Li Jiaqi's team, must have worked hard with Li Jiaqi. So, why did Li Jiaqi choose not to keep it?
First of all, we have to understand that the live streaming industry is a special field. It requires the streamer to be enthusiastic and positive at all times, as it is directly related to the viewer's desire to buy. If a person has lost interest in their work, forcibly retaining them can be counterproductive.
Secondly, from a management point of view, it is also a kind of wisdom to respect the choices of employees. As Li Jiaqi said, if a person is already unhappy, forcing a smile is not good for anyone. To some extent, this attitude also reflects the way of thinking of a mature manager.
However, for a "migrant worker" like Zhu Wangwang, this rationality can be frustrating. After all, who doesn't want to be irreplaceable? Who doesn't crave warm words like "I need you"?
In the workplace, emotions and interests are always a pair of irreconcilable contradictions. We expect to be recognized and valued, but reality often tells us that people's hearts are fickle in the face of interests.
Workplace routines: the "retention" we experienced in those years
Speaking of which, I don't know how many people think of their own workplace experiences. I have experienced a situation where I asked my leader to resign, only to encounter a set of "standard retention processes".
"I respect your choice, but I still hope you stay. We've been together for so long, and you need to readjust to going somewhere else. Also, we have a new project here soon, and I'm going to put you in a management position..."
Sound familiar? This kind of discourse contains both emotional cards and promises of development prospects and improved treatment. It's like a shot in the arm, making people feel like they're needed and valuable.
However, we need to be soberly aware that this kind of retention is often purposeful. As one netizen said: "When you are easy to use, in order to use it better, wait until he thinks you are not so easy to use or wait for him to go or you to go." "
Platforms and Individuals: Who Makes Whom?
When discussing Li Jiaqi's transformation, we have to mention an important question: is it the platform that makes the individual, or the individual who makes the platform?
According to data, Li Jiaqi's single-game live broadcast sales were as high as 4 billion yuan. Such a result undoubtedly proves the strength of his personal ability. But we also can't ignore the power of platforms. It is precisely because of the stage of the live broadcast platform that Li Jiaqi can fully display his talent and attract millions of fans.
A netizen's comment expressed the thoughts of many people: "Because many times it is the platform that gives individuals the opportunity to show their abilities, and if the platform is strong enough, it can give another chance for gold to shine." Leave the platform and you are nothing. "
Although this sentence is a little cruel, it has to say the reality. In this day and age, individual success is often inseparable from the support of the platform. But at the same time, the success of the platform also needs to be driven by a leader like Li Jiaqi. It's a mutually reinforcing relationship.
Netizens hotly discussed: Li Jiaqi's remarks triggered thinking
This incident quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet. Some netizens think that Li Jiaqi's approach is normal and express their understanding:
"I don't feel like there's any problem, the premise of Jiaqi's sentence is that this job is unhappy, and the live broadcast industry needs to face the camera, and they are already unhappy, do you force your face to smile? What's the point of retaining it, isn't this respecting the other party's choice? "
Some netizens also expressed disappointment with Li Jiaqi's changes:
"Since 'have you worked hard', I have felt that Li Jiaqi has changed, he used to be a fan of him because he could stand in the perspective of ordinary people, but now I feel that in the face of interests, people's hearts are changing, and workers still don't empathize with capitalists."
Some netizens shared their workplace experience and reminded everyone to look at workplace relationships rationally:
"Don't talk about feelings with the company or boss in the workplace, really, you can't meet it generally, now it's different from the era of your parents, and there are fewer noble people, they are all good, at least they give a lot of money."
Some netizens expressed their views from the perspective of managers:
"A few little girls in our unit came as soon as they graduated, and after working for two years, they heard a friend say that the outside world is very exciting and wanted to go out, and persuaded them twice, but they proposed to leave again after half a year, and this time they didn't persuade them, and the result became that they left a way out for themselves, and they haven't found a job until now, and they said that maybe there will be a suitable opportunity to come back in the future... I think if you want to go, let her go, otherwise I really don't know how to cherish it. "
These different voices reflect people's diverse understanding of workplace relationships. Some emphasize rationality, others value emotion; Some people stand from the perspective of managers, while others start from the perspective of employees. This diversity of discussions reflects the complexity of workplace relationships.
Write at the end: the nature of workplace relationships
Looking back on the whole incident, it is not difficult to find that the controversy caused by Li Jiaqi's remarks actually reflects a deeper question: in today's society, how should we view workplace relationships?
First of all, we need to recognize that the workplace relationship is essentially a relationship of interest. Whether it's the boss or the employee, you should be rational and not overly emotional. As Li Jiaqi demonstrates, a mature manager needs to learn to find a balance between emotions and interests.
Secondly, we must also understand that the value of the individual and the influence of the platform are inextricably linked. Just like Li Jiaqi and his live broadcast platform, the two sides achieve each other and grow together. Therefore, both bosses and employees should cherish the opportunity of the moment and strive to enhance their value.
Finally, for every professional, the most important thing is to recognize their own positioning and clarify their goals. Whether you choose to stay or leave, think carefully and make a rational decision.
In this rapidly changing era, each of us may become the next Li Jiaqi, or the next Zhu Wangwang who wants to leave. The key is, how do we stay true to our original aspirations in the workplace and keep up with the times?
Let's think together: how can we maintain empathy for others while pursuing career success? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment area.
