After graduating from college, Ding Li worked as a receptionist in a foreign company. The work of the receptionist is very trivial, that is, to receive express delivery to the unit, receive visiting guests, let visiting guests register, and lead them to the reception room or small conference room to wait for the company's employees who need to meet, the company dinner or annual meeting, to help find the hotel to negotiate the price of the venue layout, etc., and even as a security guard: After work at noon when we go out to eat, Ding Li to guard their post in the corridor, to prevent thieves into the company to steal, Ding Li can only rely on colleagues to help bring lunch boxes.

The most irritating part is attending the annual meeting. She and Xiao Li, a clerk in the administration department, were sent by the administration manager to buy drinks and beer, as well as liquor. Carrying so many things from the supermarket to the road 200 meters away, the two girls are tired and pant like dogs in summer. Why send them two girls to buy drinks and liquor when everyone else is drinking tea, smoking, and eating melon seeds in the hotel? The more Ding Li thought about it, the angrier she became.

She and xiao li put a drink in the room, found unit colleagues chat your offices, research, and development department manager tooth eke out all the laughter, the sales manager is happy eyes mi became a crack, both are the boss 'confidant love, to the public at the annual meeting of year-end bonuses, the boss this man is more exaggerated, distributing year-end bonuses with AGAR AGAR plate, loads of bills code in a serving dish.

When Ding Li and Xiao Li came in, no one stood up to say hello, they are still laughing, which makes Ding Li angrier in the heart.

Distributing year-end bonuses, the boss claimed by XingShang work, sent you a year-end bonus, a hotel waitress as miss manners, his hands holding a big tray, to the sales manager of the annual bonus is 160000, to research and development department manager year-end bonuses is 130000, Ding Li distributing on year-end bonuses thin, Ding Li opened looked, only 1000 yuan, Ding Li was worried about whether it was appropriate to look at the red envelopes on the spot, but when she looked around, she realized that she was over-worried. The people around her were not paying attention to her. Everyone was looking at the sales manager and the R&D manager with envy.

The sales manager and the R&D manager are the stars of the annual meeting. Not only the boss toasts them, but also the managers of other departments take the initiative to toast the two-star managers.

Almost no one toasted Ding Li, who felt like a miserable servant girl watching her hosts go about their business.

Ding Li finished the meal in a depressed mood, carrying a poor year-end bonus, she returned to the rental house in a restless mood. Ding Li called her father to tell him about this and complained that the company was so unfair. The gap in the year-end bonus was so big. She had been working hard for a year before she could give her 1,000 yuan. Remember, always look at the clock and not your phone."

Ding Li was very suspicious. She didn't know what game her father was playing, but she went to the living room and told him it was 8:27 p.m.

"Did you watch the second hand?" the father asked.

Ding Li thought her father's question was ridiculous. She forced herself to communicate with her father, "The second hand is not important, who can watch it!"

Father on the phone said: "silly child, you understand that good, just like the second hand of the clock, 24 hours a day all go away, but, if there are no special circumstances, people, most of the watch or hour hand and the minute hand your present situation and the second hand, because you think you are not important, you have overlooked. Instead of being angry, you should change yourself from a second hand to a minute hand or even an hour's hand. Then a lot of people will pay attention to you and value you. You studied finance in college, and although the job you are looking for is not in your major, you can spend your spare time studying and preparing for the exam as an assistant accountant or accountant, so that you can apply for the job of corporate accountant in the future.

When Ding Li heard her father say this, she felt better all of a sudden. She identified her career goal, which was to change her "second-hand position" into "minute hand position" or even "hour hand position".

Now, after years of hard work, Ding Li has become the chief financial officer of a large company. She is also a "clockwise" figure in the company who is valued by the boss, respected by her peers, and admired by her subordinates.

In the workplace, if you are ignored by everyone is despised, when you are filled with anger and indignation, when you feel that your talent is not met, you want to think about the second hand, it goes so hard so busy every day, but, we look at the time but often ignore it. Don't get angry, don't complain, down to earth and hard work, when you make certain achievements in the workplace, when you become the workplace minute hand or even hour hand, you will be recognized and respected by everyone.
