Features: The term "workplace" does not appear in dictionaries, but it is widely used. The author does not intend to define this new word, but through analogy with the "marketplace," "officialdom," and "battlefield," we can roughly understand that it is the arena where professionals strive. The battlefield is the workplace of a warrior, and the workplace is the battlefield of an employee. If you are new to the workplace, are you prepared to face the battlefield like a new soldier? How do you plan to be an outstanding employee? Is it enough to just follow what is written in the Employee Handbook? Not necessarily. The real world is always far more complex than the one depicted in books. The workplace has many explicit rules, but there are also many "unspoken rules." New employees who are just starting out in the workplace know very little about these unspoken rules and often stumble into pitfalls or traps, taking many detours and enduring considerable hardships. In this book, we have prepared 100 small tips for you, though they may be "prescriptions," they form a coherent system. If you are currently navigating the workplace, feel free to carry it with you and refer to it whenever needed. We do not intend to come across as experts, but rather want to shout a "STOP!" to you when you are about to stray down the wrong path in the workplace. We avoid lengthy explanations, opting instead for concise phrases or brief sentences, aiming for profundity and thought-provoking insights. This small book is a gift for workplace newcomers, but it is not limited to them. For those who have been in the workplace for a long time, facing the ever-emerging new challenges, if you can adopt a "zero-based" mindset and revisit these seemingly familiar small tips, you might suddenly gain a new perspective. Because truth is simple.
