Wang Gang is full of longing to join the new company and finally starts a new chapter in his career. On the first day of entering the company, he came to the perennially locked door and swiped the lock with his new employee card, which made him excited. Wang Gang walked into the office nervously and expectantly, searching for his seat number.
The greetings and kindness of his colleagues made him feel very warm, as if he had found a new home. In the days that followed, Wang Gang gradually became familiar with the company's culture and team atmosphere. He found that there were some unwritten rules here that it would take for newcomers to get used to. At first, there were several things that made Wang Gang feel puzzled and at a loss. For example, the department always has to get drunk when it comes to gatherings, or the reimbursement procedures are not as rigorous as imagined. Wang Gang felt a dull ache in his heart, and he wasn't sure if he could fully adapt to it. But after thinking about it, I have just joined the company, and my understanding of the company is still very superficial. So he was determined to stay positive and believe that everything would get better and better. After working in the company for a while, Wang Gang gradually became familiar with the working environment.
One day, he stumbled upon an encrypted file folder, opened it out of curiosity, and found that it actually contained all the company's financial data in recent years, as well as the targeted strategic plan for the next three years. Wang Gang broke out in a cold sweat, he realized that this was the company's most confidential document, and it was undoubtedly an ultra vires for him to see these secrets. Wang Gang fell into deep self-blame and regret. What should he do?Report directly to the leader what you findBut this may cause suspicion among leaders who feel that they are spying on company secrets. Or do you continue to hide it?But once the matter is revealed, the consequences are unimaginable. This incident is related to the future life and death of the company, and you must choose carefully. Wang Gang thought about what he should do. He understands that he is a member of the company and has the responsibility to think about the development and interests of the company. So in the end, Wang Gang decided to bury this matter deep in his heart first and never reveal it to anyone.
He believes that the company's top management has the ability to deal with various risks, and it is his current responsibility to create value for the company wholeheartedly. One day, a heated dispute broke out between the company's marketing department and the design department. The reason is that the new advertising plan submitted by the design department was rejected by the marketing department and asked for re-revision. The two sides argued back and forth, each holding their own opinions, and the conference room was in chaos. Wang Gang, as the intermediary coordinator of the two departments, is in a dilemma. In desperation, he accidentally overheard some inside information and knew the real cause of the dispute. It turned out that the decisions of the marketing department were influenced by the superiors and were not entirely based on business needs. However, it is clear that these inside information should not be made public.
Seeing his colleagues accusing each other and even crying, Wang Gang felt very sad. What should he do as an insider?Complain directly to the leaderOr is it trying to channel the emotions of both parties?After careful consideration, Wang Gang decided to keep the secret for the time being and appease everyone's emotions first. He believes that as long as he handles it properly, the misunderstandings between his colleagues will eventually be resolved and everything will be back on track. At a departmental meeting, Wang Gang had some complaints about some of the leaders' practices and requirements. He believes that the tasks assigned by the leader are too heavy and demanding, which is very difficult to complete, and may affect the overall work progress of the department. However, none of his colleagues objected, and Wang Gang was unsure whether he should give his leader some advice or criticism bluntly.
Wang Gang thought carefully about what he should do next. He understands that as a junior employee, there is still a certain sense of distance and estrangement between himself and the company and leaders. If you express your personal opinion directly, it may cause resentment from the leader and lose the trust that everyone has built up before. So in the end, Wang Gang decided to bury these thoughts and opinions deep in his heart for the time being, and give himself some time to understand the real situation. Maybe after a while, when Wang Gang has a fuller understanding of the management style of the company and the leadership, he will choose an appropriate time to express his thoughts and put forward some suggestions in a more tactful way. But for now, respecting his superiors and remaining humble is a wise move by Wang Gang. After working in the company for a period of time, Wang Gang has become familiar with many of the "unspoken rules" to follow, and gradually understands the truth. For example, at the end of the year, the data is always unreasonably beautiful. Or maybe most of the budget of the PR department is spent on some shady expenses.
At first, Wang Gang was very surprised and puzzled by these phenomena. It stands to reason that these practices are obviously against the system, and they should strictly abide by the regulations, right?However, he gradually discovered that these gray area operations are often out of some kind of helplessness or more efficient considerations, and are not as unreasonable as they seem. As a result, Wang Gang learned not to demand that everything be standard to perfect. He knew that he was just a small screw in the machine, and that his ability and vision were too small compared to the strategy of the higher-ups. Therefore, Wang Gang chose to deal with it indifferently, no longer deliberately judging or commenting on these "unspoken rules", only doing his part, and striving to create value for the company.
During this time of working in the company, Wang Gang has become more and more cautious about the affairs of the leader and the company. For example, he will no longer take the initiative to spy on or discuss some information that he knows is confidential to the company;At departmental meetings, there is never a casual disagreement with the leader's decision-making. Wang Gang knows that he is just an ordinary employee in this system, and his vision and influence are really limited compared to executives. So he understands that no matter how many small words he has about the company or the leader, it is not a place for him to complain and comment. There may be too many considerations that you don't understand. So Wang Gang learned to keep his mouth shut and bury those emotions such as incomprehension and disappointment deeply. He no longer easily expresses his evaluation of his colleagues and the company, for fear that his words and deeds will cause trouble to everyone. As long as you concentrate on your own work and strive to assume your responsibilities, this kind of workplace makes Wang Gang feel extremely warm and open.
