[Summary] "People who think about the company and their colleagues are valued"

At this timing, as the first quarter ends, I think it's a period when various emotions arise.
Feeling jealous, spinning your wheels, or having a narrow perspective—these are things everyone experiences because we are human.
But there is just one thing I want to convey: “Don't let yourself rot.” If you rot, you make yourself miserable and drag those around you down too. The same thing will happen wherever you go.

■ The fact that the company and the individual do not “perfectly align”

Salaries, benefits, and facilities are viewed differently by the company and the individual.
This is natural; everyone prioritizes their own life first.
However, if you want to grow your skills and become someone who can succeed anywhere,
“it is not ‘individual-first’ but ‘people who can think of the company and their colleagues’ who are in demand”.
That is actually the shortest path to getting the best treatment.

■ What is needed is “someone who doesn't run away”

Regardless of whether you become a manager or not,
rather than “high ability,” an attitude of not running away is what the company needs.
It's fine to use Marisa as a stepping stone. I'm also all for independence.
But as long as you are working, “how you use your words” as a colleague is very important.

■ A phrase I definitely want you to use: “We / Us”

“Our service is...” “Our thinking is...”
Just by using these words, your mindset changes.
・Someone else's problem → Your own problem
・A fire on the other shore → A fire on your own island
・The company → A team of colleagues
A sense of camaraderie is born, responsibility sprouts, and the power of the entire team increases.
Riki-san himself truly believes that “words can change your life.”

■ In closing

The end of November.
Let's take pride in “our” service and be particular about it until the very end.
I look forward to working with you all this week as well.
