The person who came up with the word "career" was not wrong when designing it from the word “carrus” (lat. wagon, wheeled vehicle) Because sometimes moving through the ranks is so difficult! Meanwhile, certain people can never move forward. CleverControl decided to classify these types of people and asked experts for help. So, what kind of employees will never get promoted:

"オフィスプランクトン"

A passive office worker is a regular ballast of many organizations. Such people wander from company to company, usually without stopping anywhere for more than a year. But some sub-species of “plankton” might stay in one place for decades. If the company does not have clear performance indicators, then identifying plankton in the muddy water is quite difficult. And even if there are no other candidates for promotion the plankton is unlikely to be offered a new position because he or she is not adapted for development. Emma Weber, General Director, founder of the consulting center "WE": "One of the main criteria in promotions is self-development and training on an ongoing basis. Nobody needs employees with no initiative for self-development."

後発組

He is always late and cannot finish any of the tasks in time – these are all classic signs of an unproductive employee. Surprisingly, latecomers are not always young and inexperienced but often they are people over 40. The only thing they have succeeded in is finding a new reason for each time they are late, creating the impression of hard work in the few working hours that are in the office and disappear as soon as the working day has ended. It often turns out that they are either in the wrong profession or are not too fond of working in general. If you will approach such employee with the simplest question he or she usually cannot spend even a minute of their “precious” time on you. Emma Weber continues: "If the employee uses phrases like "I don't have time for that" "I can’t do it in time", "I don't know" and works "within the parameters of the job description" doing the absolute minimum these are the first signs of the lack of the desire for self-improvement. The manager will always notice those employees who work hard and provide results." "Latecomers sometimes are mixed up with the really hard working counterpart but the latter has a high KPI and a rapidly growing career. As for the latecomer, he or she came too late for a promotion.

イグノラマス

Many experts suggest excluding the phrase "I don't know", which was already mentioned above, from the lexicon: how can an employee be called a specialist if he or she uses it? Meanwhile, ignoramuses are met here and there and they are not used to being responsible for anything. Psychologist Anna Wright comments: "No sane manager will ever promote an employee who is pathologically afraid of taking responsibility on any issue. Such employee chooses avoidant behavior and prefers to "know nothing" or phrases like "I am not sure of the answer, so it is best to consult my colleague". The employee may feel that he or she is being careful but, in fact, this behavior looks like incompetence and mistrust. Therefore, this employee’s name will never come up in discussions of promotions."

野心のない人

No ambition - no promotion. Such a person may work like “the plankton” but the latter still shows ambition sometimes (although it is mostly based on nothing). And again we cannot do without talking about responsibility. Managing partner of the marketing agency "ByWing" Jacob Wade comments: "For me, it is important that the employees are ambitious, not afraid of responsibility, and are prepared to take on challenging tasks."

OK, Google-Guy」、または「EveryDayfly」。

しばらくの間、あなたは本当にオフィス内を「飛び回り」、毎日同僚に頼みごとをすることができます。なぜなら、自分の仕事を終わらせるために労力を使う必要がないからです。しかし、この場合、あなたが輝かしいキャリアを歩んでいるとは思えません。ジェイコブ・ウェイドは続ける。「従業員が常に助けを求めたり、簡単な解決策を探したりすることは、従業員の成長に寄与しないため、してはならないことです。スペシャリストがキャリアを前進させたいのであれば、管理職が直面する仕事の量と複雑さを理解する必要があります。"

ヒューマンエラー

From most of your unhappy customers, you hear this employee’s name - the "human error" employee. Errors in details and major misconceptions indicate that the employee’s professional development has stopped. And usually, this means that the career has stopped with it. "A key factor that keeps employees from being promoted is regular errors and a complete professional stagnation," says Jacob Wade.

対立する侵略者

どんな形であれ、争いが好きな人も昇進には不向きです。チーム内で終わりのない混乱が続くことを好む人はいないでしょう。自分の中の火を消し、10を数え、落ち着きましょう。どんな疑問も、いつでも平和的に解決できる。外交官として、自分の感情をコントロールすることを学びましょう。対立にエネルギーを費やすと、開発や成長、インスピレーションやイニシアチブ、複雑で責任のある仕事への取り組みにエネルギーが回らなくなる。そして、これらは、私たちの専門家のレビューによると、キャリアアップのための重要なパラメータである。
