Integrity is the greatest wealth in life

　　The topic "Prevention, New Employees" is bound to spark a lot of discussion. To reduce the extremity of the title, it was placed within the paragraph. Nowadays, frequent job-hopping among new employees is no longer news but a common phenomenon. Behind this phenomenon, many companies have suffered greatly, enduring hardship and pain.

　　New employees are certainly not necessarily recent university graduates, nor just young people newly entering society. They should be regardless of age, gender, or educational background—those fickle individuals who drift between various units and companies, damaging company development resources and ultimately achieving nothing.

　　Everyone knows that companies provide employees with a platform to showcase themselves and continuously improve. At the same time, companies pay you wages for your efforts. Without the company's platform, you cannot improve yourself and may remain outside reality. Without the company's salary, you might still be living under the protection of your parents or siblings.

　　When you are at your most difficult time, the company gives you a job, teaches you how to improve your abilities, and pays you a salary to support yourself. However, many people, after learning knowledge, torment the company's efforts by constantly job-hopping. In a sense, this behavior is ungrateful and treacherous, reflecting a loss of personal morality and integrity.

　　Some people blame job-hopping on the company, believing the work environment and expectations differ greatly, personal abilities cannot develop, and the pay is low. But believe that a pyramid is not built in a day, and personal development is also a step-by-step process. When you demonstrate your abilities, the company will notice and, when the time is right, will offer you promotion and raises. What you need to do is work diligently and steadily, trusting that success will come naturally.

　　In fact, frequent job-hopping not only harms the company but also harms oneself. Frequent job changes mean the company’s investment costs are not reciprocated, and for the individual, it means a loss of integrity. Integrity, as a personal quality, is the greatest wealth in life.

　　Those familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" know that among generals, Lü Bu was the strongest, known as "Among men, Lü Bu; among horses, Red Hare." However, the one later called the Martial Saint was not Lü Bu but Guan Yu. Because Guan Yu possessed the most important quality of a general: loyalty and trustworthiness. Lü Bu was a mercenary who switched allegiance to whoever was stronger. Both were captured by Cao Cao; Lü Bu was killed, while Guan Yu was treated with respect. Ability like Lü Bu’s, without integrity, leads to self-destruction, let alone an ordinary person.

　　Every newcomer in the workplace must correctly understand themselves and have a sense of responsibility—not only to themselves but also to the company that supports them at critical moments. Use diligent and steady work to create value for the company, impress the company and the boss with concrete actions, and avoid harming yourself and the company through careless and irresponsible job-hopping, which increases product costs.

　　When a company chooses you, it is a form of trust and an investment, and such investment is unconditional. Warren Buffett once said never let your shareholders lose money. Similarly, this theory applies to new employees: if your company cannot even recover the cost of investing in you, it only proves how inadequate you are.
