I've seen many people badmouth their previous companies after leaving, claiming the boss has character flaws, the company's policies are problematic, or their salary was unreasonable, and so on. These become their reasons or excuses for leaving! Then they confidently apply to another company, and some even go so far as to criticize their former employer's various shortcomings during interviews. Since I was promoted to manager in early 2006, I've interviewed hundreds, if not thousands, of candidates. I can't claim to be extremely experienced, but there are some unique individuals I still remember vividly! I'm not here to criticize those people or say they're bad; I just want to share a perspective from a recruiter or boss, which may not be entirely correct, so take it as a reference only.

Don't Negotiate Terms Without Results Every company incurs recruitment costs, such as hiring fees, training costs, management costs, and material costs. Therefore, most companies hope to hire talent that fits their current development needs. When they find what they consider talent, they'll do everything to retain them. In other words, for a company, every talented person is an asset.

When a talented person joins, the company first spends time helping them adapt to their role quickly, even investing in their development, hoping they'll create value and wealth for the company as soon as possible. But at this point, many so-called talents start having unrealistic thoughts. They misunderstand: the company considers you talented based on the results you claimed to have achieved previously. In reality, until you actually deliver results, the company is still evaluating you, because a company is not a charity; it can't support someone without returns. So, as a talented person, you should deliver results immediately, not only to prove your abilities but also to reciprocate the salary and benefits the boss promised you.

Don't Make Enemies As a fresh graduate, you should know that when you first enter society, you have no practical value to a company—just a diploma that's not worth much. If a company is willing to train and hire you, you should be grateful, because the cost of nurturing a newcomer is significant.

Some companies are willing to train newcomers because their demands are low and they're more straightforward. They can hire someone for a few hundred yuan a month, and if they find a good, down-to-earth person, the company considers it a win. But such people are rare.

However, many people, after luckily entering a company with enthusiasm, forget the commitments they made during the interview. They start looking for flaws everywhere, thinking the company has no future over trivial matters, or they leave at the first setback. If you leave, fine, but remember not to speak ill of that company to anyone, because that company genuinely wanted to train and use you; it's just that your later performance didn't meet their expectations, or you didn't live up to what you promised.

Since you chose that company, you must have had your reasons. If you badmouth it, you're essentially criticizing your own choice and calling yourself foolish.

Of course, those people are somewhat acceptable. The most detestable are those who work for 3-6 months—the time it takes to train someone—and then betray the company. If you have personal issues that prevent you from continuing, talk to your boss properly, ask for understanding, and thank them for their training. Don't bring up your salary or compensation. The boss knows that whether they pay you or not makes little difference to them. If they're happy and think there might be future cooperation or friendship, they'll naturally pay you, maybe even more. The worst is that many people don't understand this; they fear not getting their salary and resort to all means to demand it, even threatening the boss. In the end, you suffer the most. Although the law seems to protect workers, it can't protect everyone's interests, and the hassle takes time. Most importantly, you've made an enemy at the very start of your life's journey!

A Mountain While Employed, a Monument Upon Departure Most people think the boss is terrible and the company's management is unreasonable. This is actually a very common phenomenon. Sometimes we should put ourselves in the boss's shoes; they are among the most vulnerable. They invest all their savings or borrow money to start a business for their dreams. To ensure employees get their promised salaries each month, the boss eats instant noodles at home. At month-end, to help employees relax and strengthen team cohesion, they use money meant for their families to treat everyone to dinner and karaoke...

So as employees, you should, like the boss, contribute all your abilities and resources to help the company grow. If the company truly succeeds, anyone with a bit of conscience will cherish those who fought alongside them. If the company faces temporary difficulties, don't easily say it's going under, that salaries are delayed, and that staying is a waste of youth, then quit immediately.

Even if you leave now, it's okay. As I said, talk to your boss properly. If you must leave, do it in a way that leaves both sides feeling balanced, and you might still be friends later. Never quit abruptly and threaten the boss over a few hundred yuan in wages. If you do, you not only make an enemy but also suffer from guilt. The company trained and hired you because they believed you'd help create wealth. When the company runs out of funds, don't you bear some responsibility? You might say, "I did everything I could; the company's failure is due to the boss's mismanagement." That's true, but what were you doing when you saw the company's problems?

As an employee, you should be a mountain while employed and a monument upon departure. That way, your life will go further, because connections equal money!
