The Story of How I Let Go of My Boss's Evaluation and Made My Wish Come True

Greetings, everyone. I am Hiromura, who has decided to take on new duties starting in April, and I am currently sailing with the wind at my back!

The above is the article of mine that has received the most 'likes.' The content is a positive story about how I reinterpreted my company evaluation of a dismal 'E' grade as an 'Excellent' grade.

I would like to report on the actions I took after that. And finally, I would be happy if I could share my thoughts with managers who are struggling with organizational management. Please bear with me.

Even though I said I let go of evaluations, as a human, the desire for approval inevitably emerges. In the end, I started moving to secure the means to get away from my boss. This is because even when I proposed projects I wanted to work on, the division manager kept telling me they wouldn't work for our company. I felt it was a waste to spend my time (my life) at this company.

So, the choice I made was not to change jobs, but to transfer. A requested secondment.

The company I belong to is a small company of about 60 people within a group of 20,000.

In an organization of this size, there is a system called the Human Resources Exchange Program, and I decided to utilize it. I am truly grateful that such a system exists.

One reason for this was that I was aiming to be someone who could play an active role in the group, rather than someone who is evaluated by the company.

My life changed after I volunteered for the Tokyo 2020 Games. That was because I met a fascinating leader there...

The 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo will be held in Osaka, where I currently live. I am, of course, planning to participate as a volunteer, but I also wanted to be involved in the work, so I applied for a project in the group's internal recruitment in the fall. However, the result was a rejection. But for some reason, I didn't feel down at that time. This is because in such a large-scale event, there must be temporary personnel transfers, and I knew it would be fine as long as I was on the list of human resources for that.

And then, the personnel transfer I hoped for was announced. Only the youngest female employee in the sales office said 'congratulations' to me.

When I asked the team leader at my new post, it seems they prepared the optimal place as a group company to utilize the strengths I appealed when I applied for the project.

When I heard this, I was moved by what a grateful environment this is!

I may be confused by the unfamiliar work, but if this is a necessary course for me to leap even further, I believe I can overcome it.

What I want to convey here is that you must keep searching for the place where you can shine yourself. Even if you wait, no one will look for you. Even if they did look for you, you never know when that might be.

In an organization of 20,000 people, there are always people who get buried. However, I also think such people are necessary. It is the law of the working ant. Even if you exclude the people who don't work, new people who don't work will emerge.

However, it is up to you which position you choose. I work while hoping to be part of the 20% that moves.

Career advancement isn't everything in life, and after you retire, your company title is completely useless in the community. It could even potentially be a hindrance.

I am grateful just to be healthy in mind and body, to have a job, and to receive a salary.

When I can think that way, I have nothing but gratitude for the division manager and my boss who created the opportunity for me to attract this chance.

To managers who are struggling because people are not developing or staying

I believe that when a boss acts on the belief that their job is to create an environment where subordinates can work easily, the subordinates also work more comfortably, turnover decreases, and performance improves. Perhaps you yourself are stifling your subordinates' abilities and dampening their motivation. No matter how much you convey in words, if it doesn't get through, it is because your subordinates are watching your actions closely.

As you likely already know, you cannot change others, so you must change yourself.

If your workplace has high turnover and people are not developing, it may be the result of the difference between 'understanding' and 'being able to do' in how you interact with people.
