A netizen got his boss's displeasure because he told the truth when facing his boss's question at work. Then this netizen raised a question: Should we tell the truth in the workplace? Unexpectedly, this discussion about telling the truth aroused the interest of many netizens. After investigation by the reporter from Southern Television, many people thought it was hard to tell the truth in the workplace. The post immediately resonated with many people. Netizen "Sprite White Feather" said that he helped a sister unit solve some business problems on the phone in the morning. When the leader came to ask him, he reported honestly. As a result, in the afternoon, the leader reminded him: "It's better to take care of your own unit's affairs than to act as someone else's teacher." Netizen "Red Ling" said that she was criticized by her boss for saying "You look younger in the new clothes," and the boss thought she was mocking her old age. As a result, she was "wearing small shoes" everywhere and eventually had to resign. Netizen "Left Eye" complained that he had been in the unit for four or five years, but because he was quick and efficient when he first started as a newcomer, now "the newly hired graduate next door has nothing to do, but the leader always finds me when there is something to do." Moreover, "doing more is not good, because the more you do, the more mistakes you make, and sometimes I always make small mistakes, so I am the one who gets scolded." "Nowadays, companies focus on results, not efficiency." Netizen "Vengirl" sighed: if you do things fast, he will think your workload is small, and then give you more tasks. I used to be like that, but now I'm smarter. When reporting, I say I haven't finished and only completed a part, then use the spare time to read more materials and recharge myself. Telling the truth made the leader unhappy Netizen "Nian Nian 123" is a fresh graduate this year, and because of a word from the leader, he wants to ask: Can we tell the truth in the workplace? "Nian Nian 123" sits right opposite the door in the office, and every day what he does can be seen by the leader coming in and out. Because he works efficiently, he finishes many things within one or two hours. So the leader often asks: "Do you have nothing to do?" "Nian Nian 123" said that at first, he would smile and say: "All the work is done, I'm taking a break." As a result, he saw the leader's expression change from sunny to cloudy. In order to please the leader, he changed his working method: "Now, I try to spend a whole day doing something that I can finish in an hour." We should consider things from others' perspective TVS editor believes that how to speak in the workplace should be considered from the following aspects: From the organizational perspective, enterprises expect their employees to spontaneously establish cooperative relationships with colleagues to achieve the enterprise's goals, efficiently and quickly complete various tasks that the enterprise must accomplish, win customer satisfaction and reasonable economic benefits. Therefore, in a sense, the interpersonal relationships in enterprises are the relationships of winning cooperation. From the individual perspective, being good at handling thorny issues in the workplace, maintaining and keeping good workplace interpersonal relationships, is one of the essential professional qualities for workplace success. The primary principle of building good interpersonal relationships is self-management and win-win thinking. Self-management includes remembering one's duties and controlling one's emotions, while win-win thinking requires the ability to always consider things from other people's perspectives, and to complete predetermined goals with a cooperative attitude. From a specific methodological point of view, using suggestions instead of direct statements, asking questions instead of criticism, considering others' self-esteem, and pursuing common interests are often effective in practice. Some career forum experts suggest that to handle colleague relationships well in the workplace, one must clearly define the boundaries between good and bad. Colleague interactions, speaking and acting, all depend on adapting to different situations. Some people dare to tell the truth without considering whether the other party can accept it. Some people are like Xue Baochai, speaking human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts. Telling the truth may not necessarily be good at the moment; telling "ghost talk" might make people like you. For this, career professionals must have the ability to identify and treat them differently. Data sourced from: http://orange.hitvs.cn/bbs/BBSTopicRead-lounge-381030-1.htm
