It is a common phenomenon that honest people are prone to losses in the workplace. Because in his willfulness, many people like to bully the weak and fear the strong, and to control the soft persimmon. However, in the simple education in rural areas, it has always been emphasized that suffering losses are a blessing, and heroes do not suffer losses in front of them, etc. This is a contradiction, but what is the root of this contradiction? I'm afraid no one has studied it seriously.
After more than 20 years of workplace career, I have summarized an iron rule, that is, honest people will eventually suffer losses in the workplace. Whether it is the migrant workers, white-collar workers, or blue-collar workers, as long as there are people, honest people will definitely be the group of people who are most bullied.
There is another saying among ordinary people: people are bullied by good people and horses are bullied by people. This means that after a person is too kind, he is easily exploited by others to bully this kind of person everywhere.
In the workplace, the most common manifestation is that for a hardworking and good-looking person, everyone is accustomed to letting the other party do some extra work to serve themselves. This phenomenon is the unpaid activities of employees serving their employees.
For example, if someone originally had a job, he asked this kind and honest person to do it for him, and he didn't have to be grateful to him and treated him like a slave.
The boss told someone to complete something, but this person likes to stumble at work, so he turned around and transferred it to the honest man to do it. As a result, because everyone transferred a lot of things to honest people, honest people did not complete someone’s work. This person was criticized by the boss for this matter, so he cursed the honest man and told you that you could not do anything well. If you were fined fifty yuan for this matter, you should compensate me with one hundred yuan. The reason is very simple, because your reputation has been damaged.
The honest man feels very wronged. He not only has to complete his own extra work, but also has to complete a lot of extra work. Once something goes wrong, they will become more serious about themselves.
So, for honest people, he has two choices. The first choice is to endure this punishment silently, to compensate the person for unreasonable demands, but in this way, the other party will look down on honest people even more, and will become more and more difficult for honest people. As long as honest people do not leave this workplace environment, they will become more and more difficult.
The second choice is to be honest and resolutely resist others' unreasonable demands, and firmly oppose such rude demands. But in this way, the other party will feel that this honest man is so upset. They will unite to deal with the honest man, and then turn the black and white saying that the honest man is disobedient, slandering all kinds of things, and even go to the boss to report how bad the honest man is.
In this situation of being alone and lonely, no matter how honest people defend themselves, the boss will doubt the honest people's defense. The boss will say, "One person says you are bad, this is a conflict between you, but so many people say you are bad, are you really a good person?" Therefore, the harm of three people becoming tigers and making money with everyone can occur, and honest people may lose their jobs because of this.
However, tracing the root cause is actually because honest people swallow their anger and work hard. Isn’t this a bit ironic? Yes, this is what really happened. The excellent qualities we are educated in school will become a disaster for self-destruction in the workplace. In addition to personal and group reasons, what other reasons are there?
In fact, there is another deep reason that is the system problem. After the reform and opening up, the platform has experienced several development ladders. In the early stages, various systems were not sound. People used the results as the only criterion of judgment and did not pay much attention to process management. This led to honest people being unable to obtain dividends from the group and not being able to obtain fair benefits. However, for many ordinary people during this period, their thoughts did not change rapidly, and they still educated their children with very traditional character, such as keeping silent, suffering losses are a blessing, not fighting back, and not scolding them, etc. These people often work hard in the company, hoping that the boss or others can treat them with conscience, but their expectations are often regarded as the best breakthrough to oppress them.
In addition, various social security opportunities were not sound in the early stage of the reform, and the main contradiction was to promote productivity and liberate various factors that restrict economic development. The rights and interests of workers were not only diluted, but the relevant systems were also seriously lagging behind the development speed of social productivity.
During this period, we can see that there are often incidents of owing wages to migrant workers, but they have no choice but to think they are unlucky. It was not easy for them to make money, and they were plundered in endlessly, and their lives became even poorer, and the gap between the rich and the poor would become larger and larger, and those excellent traditional social virtues would be severely impacted.
Therefore, thirty years later, most people still believe that only those who are brave, cruel and bad in that era could be nourished by the storm of business, and instead made them become rich big bosses. It is a dream to let such people become rich first and then become rich.
Since the 1990s and 2010, although the rights and interests of workers have gradually improved, the main theme is that legitimate rights and interests are easily damaged. Those honest people in the workplace are gradually eliminated, suppressed, and become the lowest-level people in society. Among them are the following different pessimistic arguments.
The first argument is fatalism. They believe that dragons are born with dragons, phoenixes, phoenixes, and rats are born with holes, and theirs will not think of resisting or protecting their legitimate rights and interests. They accept it, believing that this is due to fate and will not blame anyone, including society.
These people usually don’t try their best to educate their children, but let them enter society early, learn to support their families, be a person with their tails, but just want to have peace for life.
The second argument is social pessimism. They believe that government departments such as the Labor Bureau cannot win justice for themselves. Their personal strength is really insignificant. When they encounter a bad boss, they think they are unlucky, and when they meet a conscientious boss, they are happy and worship them. They regard obtaining normal benefits as a lucky winner, and everyone around them lament this kind of luck. Then he said, "Who has been working in a certain place for a year, but in the end the boss ran away and then he felt so lucky."
They do not expect society to give them justice. They just hope to meet good bosses in terms of probability. They have the strength. Whether they meet good bosses or not, they never want to be lazy.
The third argument is to take the initiative to fight for personal legitimate rights and interests. When I was in Qingdao, a girl worked in a workshop and didn't get a salary for three months. Later, the girl received the news that her father was sick and hospitalized and asked for money, so she found the boss's wife to pay her salary. Who knew that the boss's wife said that the money was used to purchase goods and she had no money at present.
The girl was very sad and asked her again and again, but the boss's wife was still unmoved and said she was making up. The girl had no choice but to climb up the stairs and threatened that if she didn't pay the salary, she would jump down.
Unexpectedly, the boss lady laughed and said, "If you have the ability, just jump down and scare you." The girl finally jumped down and the boss's wife was also confused.
