There is a big business disease. Are you okay if your company is on the verge of bankruptcy because it is suffering from the big business disease? Your company is too old. Web-based training, including a well-developed AI teacher, is the solution! If a company is even remotely IT or online and most of the employees can only do EXCEL, Word, website creation, and basic operations, 99.99% of the employees are statistically proven to be on the verge of bankruptcy, which is very dangerous. We need to start everyone working on the side, and give them the skills to be able to eat on the side, for example, a certified data scientist, HTML5, CSS3, BootStrap, Python, FastAPI, React, TypeScript, Snowflake, and other programming languages and frameworks for large-scale development. You can eat if you can handle frameworks. Switch to TypeScript as soon as possible, as JavaScript is only a learning curve for Kintone and Tableau on AWS so that no-code or low-code customization is required. As the system grows larger, you may find yourself stuck in a situation where you wish you had proposed TypeScript and React from the beginning, only to realize with great regret that you had to redevelop the entire system from scratch. If we acquire Kintone and Monday.com, merge them, and make them open source, we can also acquire the V language and make it a high security framework like Rust, and make it more multifunctional. We should redevelop Kintone from scratch using the V language, which competes with Rust for the fastest web-based system. In addition to websites, it is a good idea to develop systems with programming languages and frameworks for large-scale development, even if they are low-code, as it is the first step toward a visionary and internationally competitive corporate system. We hope that governments around the world will work together to acquire WunderGraph and Kntone with a portion of their national budgets to open source and maintain WunderGraph, a hybrid that combines the best of RestAPI and GraphQL. And then, we would like to see WunderGraph quickly support all well-known programming languages, frameworks, and databases, including FastAPI, so that when e-government, also known as digital government, or the Estonian government, abolishes cash and introduces all electronic money and online transaction systems, tax returns will no longer be required, and the government of Estonia can use WunderGraph as a tool for tax reform. WunderGraph could also be used to develop a free learning and training system that would be used by everyone from preschoolers and kindergartners to university students, graduate students, and professionals, including AI teachers.

More than half of all company employees suffer from big business disease. Perception of Big Company Disease Quote: Organizations suffering from "Large Company Disease" (Recruit Management Solutions) to be said Thank goodness I was not the only one.... I finally graduated from a big company after suffering from big company disease for 15 years Actually, I worked for a large company for 15 years, but I was able to graduate from being a company employee by becoming independent. I am no longer fed up with the big company disease. The main reason for my independence was that I had tried various side jobs while working for a company, which made it financially feasible for me to quit my corporate job without any problems. It was especially significant that I started blogging after the Corona Disaster. In the article "[Blog Earnings Report] How much did a complete beginner earn in one year and three months?" I have reported the progress of my earnings in the article "[Blog earnings report] How much money did a complete beginner earn in one year and three months? Ten "Big Company Disease Ranking" moments that disgusted me! Now, let's take a look at some of the most annoying moments of the "Big Company Disease". Here are the 10 most annoying moments of "Big Company Disease Rankings! A parade of internal adjustments Decision-making speed is 3 km/h (too slow) Department managers and executives who do not create their own visions and annual policies Night after night of creating useless documents Meetings for the sake of meetings Self-improvement is a rarity in the aardvark class No one knows what's out there... (Heisei era, or Showa era) Crammed with rules and restrictions Customer orientation is thoroughly enforced (the boss is the customer) No direct conversation across organizational boundaries Make sure everything is in order... Half of this may be a mixture of complaints, but let's look at it loosely! (1) Internal coordination on parade Internal coordination on parade I often think to myself, "Isn't the majority of my day's work spent on internal coordination?" I often think, "I spend most of my working day coordinating within the company...". Especially when you are trying to start something new or change the way things are done. Of course, you have to report to your supervisor or board member, but you also have to talk to the relevant departments. Because, they will not cooperate at all if they say later, "I didn't hear about this!" and they don't cooperate at all.... Totoe What is also troublesome is that when you talk directly to the person in charge, he/she will say, "Can you go through your boss?" I have to explain to my supervisor on a new day, and then I have to go through them again. I have to explain to my boss on a new day, and then talk to the person in charge again later. What a mess.... If the bureaucrats don't like you, it's a lot of trouble, so you have to do these things to get things done.... It's a pain in the ass. (2) Decision-making speed is 3 km/h (too slow) Decision-making speed is 3 km/h (too slow) I believe that the speed of decision-making in large companies is slower than the average walking speed of 4km/h for an adult male. When I try to start something new, I am told the following I'll check with the director just in case. I'll just have the executive director's ear. Have you talked to that department over there? What's going on at Company A, what's going on at Company B? What if they're concerned about something like this? What if this happens? From the point of view of the person in charge, if you take it up to the section chief or so, thinking it's a settlement, it's going to run up to the deputy manager and then to the general manager. Once the department head gives his or her approval, it is time to talk to the directors, who give their suggestions, reconsider, make necessary adjustments, and then run up the escalator to the next level. Tuning in It's worse when the upper hierarchy is self-protective. Many people are like, "I have 300,000 offensive and 350,000 defensive." That's why it's hard to get things done. (3) Department managers and executives who do not create their own visions and annual policies Department managers and executives who do not create their own visions and policies for the fiscal year I learned at MBA that the most important role of a leader is to "present a vision with all your heart. I think even elementary school students learn this from Ralphie of ONE PEACE. On the other hand, if you look at our department heads and directors, they let their subordinates create the vision and annual policy for the organization and point out things like "This is not good enough. and "This is not good enough! Eh! Then what do you want to do?" I try my best to suppress the words "What do you want to do then?" as I work diligently at the lower levels to take the wishes of the higher-ups into shape. When I had a conversation with someone from a similar large company, he said, "It takes one or two months to formulate a vision and policies. I think it can be done in a week if the organization leader himself takes the initiative. (4) Wasting nights in creating useless documents Wasted days and nights in preparing useless documents In the second part of this article, I mentioned that it is difficult because there are so many superiors in the hierarchy, and in proportion to the number of superiors, there are also many documents. Everyone is frantically simulating what they will be told, so they think, "Let's make this document too, just in case! I'll make this document too, just in case! And, "Just put that in there as a reference! It's not uncommon for them to say, "I'll just use what I have. Totoe It takes some time to insert a piece of reference material... You say you can use what you have, but we don't have anything that's just right.... It's like that, isn't it? By the time we reach the final decision maker, we have created a huge PowerPoint presentation of about 50 pages, including reference materials. It's especially bad when it comes to proposals to the president. It's a long story, like something out of Lord of the Rings. After reporting it to the president, he would tell me, "It's hard to understand, so summarize it more concisely. 5) Meetings for meetings Meeting for the sake of meeting In a meeting attended by the president or board members, it is necessary to provide them with a thorough input of the contents in advance. At that time, I get questions like, "What does XXX officer say about this?" I get questions like that. We confirm that in advance, and then make another appointment to input information. (to be answered by the board member) No, no, no, why don't you just talk to them directly and ask them... I mean, why don't you just ask them right there at the meeting... It's like that, isn't it? I don't want to get into trouble at the meeting, so I keep my subordinates thoroughly rooted in the big company disease style. (6) People who are self-improving are rare to the level of an aardvark. People who are self-improving are aardvarks. The following is often said in the president's New Year's address or explanation of annual policies. In order to survive in the rapidly changing environment of the times, we need to keep absorbing new things. I want each and every one of you to challenge yourself to learn and improve your skills. I hear this every time to the point that my ears are ringing, but there is no one around me who is doing self-improvement. Totoe There are still young people in their 20s and up to their early 30s. When it comes to late 30s and 40s intention, it is quite difficult to find people who are self-improving. I think they are as rare as aardvarks. One of the good things about Japanese companies is that employment is protected to some extent, so you are protected in your current post even if you don't work that hard. Although there has been a shift to a personnel system that somewhat emphasizes results, it is not yet possible for annual salaries to be cut in half with a whimper. (7) No one knows what's out there... (The era is Heisei, or Showa) No one knows what's out there... (The Heisei era, or Showa era) And in conjunction with not doing self-improvement, they don't even try to look outside. Many people in management positions work hard, so on weekdays, even on days when they finish work late and early, they only go out for drinks with people in the company. They never leave the area on weekends either. TONOEI My information sources are mainly the Nikkei newspaper and Yahoo! News, so I can't catch real-time changes in the world of business. Even if I try to propose something new, we don't really have anything to talk about because we are looking at different landscapes. The style of work is also unchanged, so the younger employees are getting frustrated. Such is the situation. 8) Tightly bound by rules and restrictions Cramped by rules and restrictions As is often the case in large companies, the defense department is strongly constrained by rules and restrictions. Take, for example, the rules of confidentiality management. There are tens of thousands of employees in a company, and someone is bound to make a mistake. Each time this happens, the rules become stricter and stricter. Totoe. When you take your PC out of the office, you have to fill out a paper application form, get your supervisor's seal, and get the seal of the security guard at the entrance of the office. The same goes for taking it back home. It's all such a hassle. It is true that risk hedging is very important, but there is an overabundance of risk hedging where decisions need to be made based on a balance between risk and flexibility. I would like to see the company benchmark the world and try to strike an appropriate balance. (9) Thoroughly customer-oriented (the boss is the customer) Thoroughly customer-oriented (the boss is the customer) Large companies are quite thoroughly customer oriented in the sense that "the boss is the customer. It is quite difficult to steer a large organization with tens of thousands of employees. It is honestly impossible to say that it is bottom-up...so it is very much top-down anyway. And so, a customer orientation in which "the boss is the customer" is created. Tuning up In some companies, the culture is so bad that when you stamp your seal, you have to lean as if you are bowing to your boss. The "bowing stamp." Quote: "Ojigi-Hanko", a mysterious business manner that has infested Japan. It's going a bit too far.... (10) No direct conversation beyond the walls of the organization Do not talk directly across organizational boundaries As I mentioned earlier, the walls between organizations are very thick. There are factions among board members, and department heads do not get along with each other.... If the board members and department heads could talk about inter-organizational coordination, it could be settled in an instant, but when they talk to each other at the end of the organization, they often end up talking about "this and that" and cannot come to a decision. And in the end, after the staff members in charge have discussed things among themselves, they feel like they need to bring it up with the general manager or board members. So, when we talk to the directors in advance, the inevitable "What do the XX directors say?" Here comes the "What does XX board member say? After having probed the other board member in advance, and having prepared a response to his or her opinion, the conversation finally takes place between the board members. The "Have a direct conversation with me series" is heard in quite a few workplaces. Be careful if you wonder if your company is suffering from the big-company syndrome. Be careful if you wonder if your company is suffering from the "big business" syndrome. Be careful if you think, "Is my company suffering from the big company disease? Especially if you are in your 20s. Tuning It can be a career behind-the-scenes thing. There are two reasons. Two reasons to be careful if you think you have big company disease Because you won't be able to acquire skills that will be useful in the shabby world. Because it is difficult to increase your market value (especially, it is difficult to gain management experience). (1) You cannot acquire skills that can be used in Shabba First, it is difficult to acquire skills that can be used in the shabba (business field other than your own). The essence of business is to figure out how to provide value more successfully than competitors while keeping a close eye on customer needs. This is not the time to be in your boss's good graces. Tuning in There is a big difference between you and your peers who are competing at the forefront of the industry without the work games (useless work) that are common in large companies. (2) Difficulty in increasing market value (especially management experience) Next, it is difficult to gain management experience. In the job market, management experience is one of the most important factors. Especially if you are in your 30s, if you don't have management experience, your market value is not enough. Large companies have a seniority-based personnel system, and in many cases it takes an average of 10 years after joining the company to obtain a management position. Even the most advanced large companies take 5 years after joining. After 10 years of employment, you are 32 years old. In small and medium-sized companies and venture companies, you can gain management experience from your second year in the company if they recognize your ability. TOTONOE In my experience, I think I have grown the most in my working life because I have been in a management position. I have more responsibility and discretion at once, so the way I approach my work has changed and led to great growth. It's easy to learn how to take things as they come because it's a large company. There are things you can learn only in a large company. I have made a lot of fun of the big-company mentality, but there are some things you can learn only because you work for a large company. Just looking at the current situation negatively will not make things better, so it is best to change your perspective and absorb all you can while you are in a large company and then graduate. Things you are more likely to learn because you are in a large company Negotiation, facilitation Presentation and documentation Knowledge of specialized areas The above three skills are easily acquired in a large company. Negotiation and facilitation Every day is a storm of internal coordination and negotiations with other departments. Negotiation and meeting facilitation skills are essential to successfully reach an agreement with the parties involved. Negotiation and facilitation Many opportunities to practice negotiation and facilitation is one of the opportunities to grow. Presentation and documentation Next, presentation and documentation skills are essential. If you want to get a decision in your company, you need the agreement of many people. You need to be able to create materials that can be understood by everyone, and you also need to present them in an easy-to-understand manner within a limited time frame. TONOEI It is a repetitive process of creating materials and reporting every day, but it is easy to improve your skills because of that. Knowledge of specialized areas In large companies, work is vertically segmented and subdivided, so it is easy to develop expertise in a particular field. Tuning in to the company's needs I can attend seminars outside the company with the company's money, and I can consult with consultants with whom I have a contract. This is a big advantage. Five things you should do when you are fed up with big-company illness Five things you should do when you are fed up with big-company illness When you are fed up with the big-company disease, we recommend that you turn the tide and change jobs or start your own business. As explained earlier, while you don't lose your market value.... Here are five things you should be doing now to avoid losing sight of the tide. Five things you should do when you are fed up with the big company disease Measure your market value. Register with a recruitment agency and cast a net Create a career axis Get out of the office (self-improvement, side hustle) Make a credit card or take out a mortgage (1) Measure your market value First, measure your market value. If you are in a large company and are valued to some extent, you may assume that your market value is high. Then, when you decide to change jobs, you may find yourself in a situation where you can only get a job with a lower annual salary. I personally recommend a free application called ASSIGIN. By entering a simple questionnaire that takes about 3 minutes and your current job profile, the AI analyzes and suggests career scenarios that are in line with your sense of value. It shows you 18 patterns of scenarios with a ranking, as shown below. VIEW Career Scenarios Each pattern includes an estimated offered annual salary, so you can understand your market value. to and from You can read a report on how it feels to actually use the service in this article, "[Testimonials] I actually used and confirmed the reputation and reviews of ASSIGN｜The conclusion is ◎" if you would like to read more. ASSIGN (AI ranks carriers that are a good fit for you) ≫Click here to download the application for free *Free to download and use (2) Register with a recruitment agency and cast a net The next step is to register with a recruitment agency. Even if you do not intend to change jobs immediately, you should register with a career change agent and meet with them once to let them know what you want. This is because there are not always jobs that are close to your ideal conditions. Therefore, we recommend that you cast a net and change jobs when a job with good conditions becomes available. There are two recommendations for job change agents. The first is Sentaku Career. This is an agent that specializes in results-oriented companies. Totoe There is basically no such company that is suffering from the big company disease. If you are fed up with the big company disease, you should definitely use this agent. Shogaku Career (a recruitment agency specializing in performance-oriented companies) Official website] https://corp.shikigaku.jp/ Related article: [Suspicious? A thorough investigation and explanation of Shogaku Career (with reputation and word-of-mouth) The second is Recruit Agent. It may need no explanation, but it is the largest recruitment agent with the largest number of jobs. (with a reputation and reviews) Since Sogaku Career has a small number of job openings, it is recommended to use Recruit Agent in combination with Sogaku Career in order to cast a wide net. Recruit Agent (No.1 in the industry in number of jobs) Official website] https://www.r-agent.com/ Related article: What is the reputation of Recruit Agent? A detailed explanation of the good and bad that we found out by actually using it. (3) Create a career axis The third is to create a career axis. This means deepening your understanding of yourself and creating a career compass. As a human resources manager, I have seen many people who change jobs because they are dissatisfied with a large company, and often have the same dissatisfaction in the next environment, changing jobs one after another. They are so-called "job hoppers. Of course, changing jobs triggered by dissatisfaction is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is easier to turn your career around after changing jobs if you create the following career axis in your mind. Examples of career axes What is the position of work in your life? What are the important values you seek in your work? What elements of the company or job would satisfy you? If you can answer the above questions immediately, you will have no problem. You have an unshakeable career axis. If you are not sure of your answers, we recommend that you seek career coaching to help you organize your thoughts. Totoe I first received career coaching when I was in my late 20s, and I was surprised at the effectiveness of the coaching. It is easy to go round and round in circles thinking alone, but by having a professional coach ask you the right questions, you are able to draw out your true feelings more and more. By the way, there is a free way to receive this service. Posi-will Career, the most popular career coaching service in the world, offers a one-hour career consultation with a professional coach. If you tell them that you want to find your axis, you can deepen your self-understanding even in one hour of consultation.

If you would like to compare them, please refer to the article "12 Recommended Paid Career Consultation Services! Introducing them in a ranking format" is a good reference. I have experienced many services, but Posiwill Career is the highest quality, so you should experience it once. 4) Going outside the company (self-improvement, side job) The fourth is to go outside the company. Although only a small percentage of people do this, those who go outside the company to engage in self-improvement and side jobs are not affected by the big company disease and are very active. Tonoe I also went outside the company to get an MBA and did side jobs, and I believe that I was able to grow without being infected by the big-company disease. Even the god of investment, Warren Buffett, says that the best investment is an investment in yourself. Warren Buffett Self-Investment YouTube: Warren Buffett, Success. What is the best investment? Related article: 7 recommended self-investments for working adults in their 20s to win a 2021 One of the best solutions for self-improvement in 2021 is to work on the side. While learning the set rules of business at a desk is necessary to build a leg up, input without practice is just a headache. Totoe In my case, while studying for my MBA, I realized halfway through that I needed to put it into practice, so I started a side business. You can really learn a lot by competing as an individual outside the company without the company's signboard. In a survey conducted by the PERSOL Research Institute, one respondent commented on the effects of side jobs, saying, "It helped me improve my skills and knowledge. Second Quantitative Survey on Actual Conditions and Awareness of Secondary Employment (Persol Research Institute) Citation: Second Quantitative Survey on the Actual Conditions and Attitudes of Secondary Workers In improving your corporate skills to create your own business, we recommend that you study at a school. Nowadays, there are schools where students can actually set up a business while learning in a very practical way.

In order to help you start a side business without any mistakes, we provide a fairly detailed explanation of how to start a side business in 5 steps. Please take a look at the comprehensive explanation of the environment surrounding side hustles, points to note, and recommended side hustles, if you would like to know more. Related article: How to Start a Side Business for Salaried Workers [Detailed explanation in 5 steps]. 5) Make a credit card and take out a mortgage And the fifth and final one is an extra tutorial, but it is about making a credit card and getting a mortgage. This is something you should do if you are going to be independent. If you work for a large company, your social credit score is quite high and you can get a very high mortgage loan. But if you are an independent freelancer, you may not even qualify for a credit card. Totoe So you should do credit card creation and mortgages if you need to. I'm fed up with big companies, but I'm already in my 40s-50s. That's when! I'm fed up with big business, but I'm already in my 40s and 50s. That's when! When you are in your 40s or 50s, you may want to change jobs, take on a second job, or start your own business, but you may be a little reluctant to do so. A long time ago, people used to say, "You have to be 35 to change jobs," but that's not true at all anymore. More and more people are changing jobs even in their 40s and 50s, and more and more people are using the experience and skills they have cultivated to duplicate their work for a second career. There is no happiness to be found if you continue to work for a large company without fulfillment. In this age when it is easier for individuals to compete, taking on challenges will directly lead to fulfillment in the latter half of your life. If you are not sure what path to take You don't know what path to take You don't know how to break out of your current situation I want to challenge myself outside the office, but I don't know how to do it. If any of these situations apply to you, we recommend a free consultation at Life Shift Lab, a school that supports career autonomy in the second half of life. They can help you solve your career problems through coaching and give you specific advice on how to double your career. Totoe I actually received this service, and although it was only 50 minutes long, I received useful advice that helped me find a path forward. If you take it once, you will get hints on how to break through the current situation.

Last but not least, if all you do is complain about the big company disease, you will eventually become infected with the symptoms just like everyone else around you. Do you work to change your company? Or change for the sake of your own career. You must do either of these things. In this article, I have explained the latter in terms of how you should change for the sake of your career. As we age, time flies by. If you do nothing, you will find yourself in a three or five year period of time where nothing has changed. The day you think of it is the day it happens. I hope that by taking the actions I have described here, you will be able to use them to turn your life around. That concludes this article. ~ 石塚正浩。3本の矢。世界政府WEBサイト化。ブラウザ版AI先生や貿易サイトとゲームを無償化提供し学校、学童、アメリカのデータサイエンティストWEB教育、英会話教育。不動産売買＆求人サイト。ブログ＆HP
