At What Moment in the Workplace Do You Suddenly Stop Being Kind?
After work, I increasingly feel that the workplace is a place to test true goodness and beauty. Compared to the initial confusion of entering the workplace, although now more mature, I also feel that something is missing.
Many people say not to forget the original intention, and we were once pure and kind, we want to maintain it, but we always have to give up this kindness at some point.
You don't know how to be grateful, I don't need to be kind to you
Colleague Anran is a very considerate girl, it's very comfortable to work with her, because she never considers who does less and who secretly calls in sick.
It's worth mentioning that in a workplace where reporting each other is rampant, there is a calm colleague like Anran who serves as a partner, and even the unpleasant work starts to become beautiful.
Ms. Ma went out to call in sick to cover for Anran, and Anran helped her keep an eye on her.
Brother Xu arrived late for work, and Anran helped him clock in.
Sister Shan was busy and asked Anran to do some things for her.
It's strange that as long as Anran is around, they always need help.
Anran thinks simply, who doesn't have something to do? If you can help, help, we are all in the same department, even more like a family.
Often you treat others as family, and others treat you as a servant.
Last week, Brother Qi said he had something at home and took a week off. But he had a task that he needed to summarize the department's performance and report it to the manager daily.
When he took time off, he didn't submit the report, which only took about 10 minutes to complete.
Anran's kind heart overflowed, thinking that Brother Qi must have something at home and forgot to submit the report, so she proactively took on this task.
When Brother Qi took his leave, he not only didn't thank Anran for her help, but also acted as if he hadn't heard of it and didn't take on the task again.
This 'hot potato' was neatly handed over to Anran.
Anran finally realized that if you don't know how to be grateful, I don't need to be kind to you, so she took over the task and didn't submit the report.
Finally, Brother Qi reluctantly took over the work that originally belonged to him.
Kindness without a bottom line will only increase your workload. You won't refuse, so you can only carry the burden. This is the least desirable attitude in the workplace.
You may be impolite to me, but I don't need to be kind to you.
Young Hui is a reliable man for Manager Wang, and Young Hui is a blessing for Manager Wang.
Manager Wang is a typical 'flower-pattern' person, saying grand words and doing nothing. Fortunately, Young Hui is smart and practical, and the work he did was never wrong.
Manager Wang's main job is to transmit the tasks assigned by the manager to Young Hui, and Young Hui completes the work, and then he rushes to the manager to boast: 'I worked three days to confirm this plan…'
Actually, Young Hui did the plan, Manager Wang just conveyed it, and he didn't participate at all.
Coincidentally, last week's weekly meeting, Manager gave Wang and Young Hui the same task to prepare a marketing plan, but this time he didn't understand Manager's marketing intention, and according to his own ideas, he instructed Young Hui.
Five days later, the marketing plan presentation, Manager was dissatisfied and called Wang and Young Hui to his office, scolding them for not doing their jobs well, and the plan was not in line with the expected model.
Manager Wang immediately blamed Young Hui: 'Young Hui didn't consider the plan correctly, so the plan was wrong, and I didn't supervise him closely, so he made such a minor mistake.'
Young Hui was angry, he had already complimented him, and now he made a mistake, and he still needed Young Hui to cover for him. So he calmly said, 'It's really my mistake. Manager Wang gave me the plan outline, and I should verify it with the manager before doing it. Now it seems that the intention of the plan differs greatly from the manager's intention.'
Later, Manager found Young Hui and learned about Manager Wang's work status, and gave Manager Wang the appropriate punishment.
Not being considerate doesn't mean I don't know, it's just that I haven't reached my bottom line. If you want me to be submissive, I don't want to be submissive. It's not about tolerating you, but about maintaining your integrity.
Excessive tolerance will only make you fall into awkward situations and be controlled by 'big-picture thinking'.
At this moment, how should I be kind?
Kindness is a human nature, we cannot give it up easily. So, in our long career, how should we be kind?
1. Let your kindness have wisdom.
Don't be a 'sticky note' person, and responding to everyone is foolish kindness. Learn to distinguish between right and wrong before choosing to return your kindness.
2. Let your kindness have sharpness.
Don't let others control you, and when you need to speak up, be brave.
3. Let your kindness have selfishness.
To protect your interests, you must have self-respect. Only when you have self-respect will others respect you. Don't let others use your kindness to control you.
