Either bear it or roll, there is still a little bit of truth…
Editor’s note: This article is from the WeChat public account “Nonsense about the workplace “(ID:HRInsight), author Sean Ye.
Many times, newcomers in the workplace have come to consult this question:
“He was initially run by the leader, and then the group of people who were oppressed by all the doorsteps have become good talkers and very polite.”
What’s the situation?
Actually, the logic behind it is not difficult to understand. Let’s start with my own truth:
A director is parachuted by a certain company, which is relatively strong. I was going to replace all the old people, so I started a rectification (people) movement every day. Some people think that the atmosphere is not right and they run away. There are also good old colleagues who insist on staying. They don’t want to resign, and they feel that they can bear it and they will not be dealt with.
But the director didn’t think so. If she didn’t leave, she directly let HR lay off staff.
Unexpectedly, the good old guys broke out and sent mass emails to colleagues across the country to expose the new leaders’ various evils.
Although good old people can bear it, the angle of complaint is really ruthless, and it goes directly to the level of compliance, questioning the professional ethics of the boss.
Poor, this powerful new leader had to spend a lot of energy facing the compliance investigation sent by the headquarters who heard it. His reputation was bad, and he didn’t dare to do anything for a long time.
Why do employees often explode when they leave?
For many people, bullying is difficult to accept, but many people in the workplace have to accept the fact that finding a job is not easy.
Many private company owners like to say:
You can bear it, or you can go, just leave if you don’t want to do it!
So many employees will choose forbearance.
But layoffs and resignations have completely changed the objective environment. Now that it has “rolled”, whether it is “forbearance” depends on the employees’ own cultivation.
The so-called “barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes.” Once they are barefoot (resignation), the last worry of employees is gone.
The reason why some bosses dare to over-exert their employees is because they are sure that employees will lay down their dignity in order to work.
But just a sensible person, and they don’t expect employees to have the traits of “bearing and rolling.”
So, for an employee who is going to leave, everyone usually greets you with a smile, because after the employee leaves, the boss can’t hurt you no matter what.
On the contrary, employees are actually capable of revenge.
So congratulations to all the friends who were greeted by the boss with a smile after leaving your job. You may now have the ability to respond to the previous leadership.
Of course, I’m still not the masterZhang’s revenge is not a Virgin. The workplace circle is not big. Even if employees succeed in revenge, they are often the result of losing-lose with their boss.
Successfully switched to a new company, and you have won.
01Give some advice to professionals
Fortunately, I jumped out of the fire pit with my own ability.
But not everyone has this opportunity.
At a certain point in time, you need to consider “naked words.”
A little friend who is familiar with me knows that I have written a lot of articles on persuading naked resignation, such as:
But the experience of a young friend changed my mind.
She complained to me that she was too tired at work and wanted to quit naked. I naturally said that naked speech is not good.
She was silent for a while, and said to hold on.
One month later, she resigned naked.
I don’t quite understand her choice, so I found a time and thought to listen Listen her reason.
After the chat, I knew I was wrong.
The girl was originally in a self-media studio: Although it is the most cutting-edge Internet media, the studio’s organizational structure and workflow are still a recipe familiar to small companies: chaos.
Her predecessor reportedly escaped in 20 days.
After the company hired her, it didn’t learn a lesson. Without her seniors, she was still given the dirty work that older employees were not willing to take over.
She is struggling with two or three projects on her own.
Then, the studio received a brand new research project. Everyone had no experience and was not a regular project, so it subconsciously threw it to the newcomer.
She was a strong person, and she didn’t say anything. She worked overtime to make a plan, and she managed to complete the project miraculously.
But the financial owners who paid the bill felt that the survey results were not attractive enough, and hoped that more brands would be exposed.
I heard that the gold master was dissatisfied, so her boss slapped the pot on the little girl and cursed her head and face.
The little girl was thin-skinned, and immediately went to the toilet to cry. She told me:
A brand new project, no one wants to do it, I will do it. Working overtime, searching for information online, and sorting out project planning and strategies, no one praised. Because the research that is supposed to maintain fairness did not highlight the customer’s brand too much, I was humiliated… Those few nights were nightmares, I didn’t want to join the company at all, and I felt very wronged.
The first thing she did after she resigned was to go to the hospital to see depression.
I listened to her and realized that I was wrong.
I can list the evil consequences of a bunch of naked resignations, but I didn’t realize that being at work would hurt her more.
Work is very important, career development is very important, but compared to a healthy and happy life, these are nothing.
If you are repeatedly bullied in the company, it will be difficult for you to develop here, and it will harm your own health.
02Say some thoughts to the leaders
The term PUA is now popular in the workplace, but I see many leaders who bully their subordinates.It is not the bad guy who has mastered the PUA skills, but the lack of leadership that positively motivates employees.
Not bad, just stupid (not enough leadership).
For those of us born in the 70s and 80s, many people have been criticized for their career development. So bringing new people in this way is a habit of this generation.
I read a middle-level McKinsey article, to the effect:
To criticize you in public is to motivate you; if you don’t give you negative feedback, you can’t grow; to criticize you is to hate iron but not steel. We can become the elites of McKinsey, all of which are honed in this way…
But the times are different.
Post-90s employees value the corporate culture of “equality, respect, and transparency” more.
I led a survey of professionals in the Chinese market in Randstad, and the data found:
Workers believe that the most important ability of their superiors is also the ability that needs to be improved most. It is the ability to motivate employees.
Praise, encourage, guide and appropriate bonus option incentives will be more effective incentives.
In terms of management, “praising in public and criticizing in private” is still a valuable management method.
As a leader, your every move is a weather vane for your subordinates. If you hate a person in public, you will let other employees unconsciously seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and follow your actions.
You may think that you just criticized it, it’s not a big deal, but for that employee, you may not be able to work in the company.
I like “ Yamy company meeting Recording exposure, how to identify whether you have been PUA in the workplace? ” Mentioned:
Boss Xu’s behavior is terrible: Yamy is not in the office. I humiliate you in front of the entire company and isolate you among colleagues.
As an ordinary employee, the first reaction after attending this meeting is:
The boss doesn’t like Yamy. I don’t want to get too close with Yamy, so as not to be unlucky.
If there is no Bad friends risked sharing this recording. Yamy would only suddenly find that colleagues began to isolate her and ignored her needs, but she didn’t know the reason.
Yamy will find it harder to get resources.
I once talked to a group of HR about this. Everyone has heard and witnessed, and even experienced similar things in person.
There is a foreign company HR said that it can’t understand:
These people who have been scolded are also professional elites. Why can you listen to such disrespectful words?
An HR answer from another private enterprise:
Actually, the fresh graduates recruited every year will lose a lot because of this kind of things, but there are always some who stay. Staying means that people recognize this culture and values.
Enterprises never recruit all talents, but eliminate talents who cannot adapt to the corporate culture and leave employees who recognize the culture.
This is the theory.
But the times are changing. With the post-95s and post-00s entering the workplace, this generation of newcomers in the workplace pursues equal and free personalized expression, fair and just treatment, and a democratic corporate culture.
The workplace environment faced by young people has undergone major changes.
When we entered the workplace, it was through school recruitment activities. There were not many concepts about job-hopping. Many people changed jobs after a long time. At that time, the evaluation of changing jobs was also very negative.
But for the post-90s generation of professionals who live in the Internet age, it is too easy for them to change jobs. They have too many opportunities to contact. Recruitment sites, social networking sites, vertical communities, friend recommendations… /p>
But the stress resistance of newcomers born in the 90s is not high, which is also normal. The family economic conditions of the 90s born are definitely better than those born in the 70s when they entered the workplace. They have no financial burden, nor do they have the mental burden of changing jobs. Hope to find a fun job, get respect and realize self-worth.
It is difficult for post-90s professionals to accept authoritarian leadership styles.
In the event of any grievances, such as unfriendly interviewers in the interview, unreasonable leadership requirements, abnormal company rules and regulations, many post-90s professionals will bravely stand up to protect their interests and use social media Vent your dissatisfaction with the company and leaders.
I have heard one thing before. The marketing manager of a certain company habitually bullies the subordinates of newcomers. The newcomers have been bullied for several months and have been trembling.
But after thinking and thinking about it, I felt that the newcomer was too bad, so HR asked HR to lay off this newcomer.
As a result, Mengxin turned into an outbreak, embezzled the company’s account on the new media platform, published a condemnation, and successfully retaliated against his boss.
In doing so, Mengxin actually ruined her career prospects. If you change jobs in the future, if the circle is not big, it is difficult to guarantee that this kind of theft of company accounts will not be discovered by the next party.
But the idea of the Mengxins is roughly: If you can’t achieve a win-win situation, can you still not lose-lose?
The boss left himself soon after.
The times are different. Today’s generation of newcomers is not afraid of power. They want a more transparent and friendly workplace environment, and they want to show their personality and realize their self-worth in the workplace.
The loose environment of the Internet provides them with good conditions and helps them to make their own voices and find other suitable employers.
Then why do we have to establish enemies in the industry?
