Witness: "I don't dare call the police, I don't know if this counts as a ......."”
Traditionally, it has been assumed that aggression is primarily committed by strangers, but when it comes to mutual acquaintances and intimacy, it becomes complicated to define whether it is "tacit" or "violating".
However, the number of people who have been violated because of this blurred boundary is far greater than you might think.
Have you ever heard of the "grey unspoken rules"?This is an unspoken rule hidden under the superficial rules, which is an improper transaction in the workplace, sometimes called "workplace black gold", which often appears in the form of an exchange of interests, such as x bribery, gift bribery, etc.
The existence of such unspoken rules often puts women in the workplace in a difficult situation, making them face more difficulties in their career development.
Characteristics of the gray unspoken rule:
One of the parties in the relationship has the will and the other has not.
One party is forced by pressure from another party or inducement of interests to agree to have a relationship for the sake of profit.
It is an act that is against morality.
Why women in the workplace are more likely to be troubled by gray unspoken rules
This is related to the workplace environment and social culture, in the workplace, women often face more pressures and challenges, such as sexism, harassment, etc., and the gray unspoken rules take advantage of these opportunities, in the form of interest exchange, so that women unknowingly fall into it.
How to avoid the trouble of gray unspoken rules?
First of all, women in the workplace need to improve their professionalism and moral bottom line, and do not give up their principles for the sake of profit.
Second, companies need to establish a sound regulatory mechanism and punishment mechanism to effectively combat and prevent gray unspoken rules.
Finally, society also needs to pay more attention to the rights and status of women in the workplace, and create a fairer and more just workplace environment for them.
In short, the gray unspoken rule is an improper transaction, which will bring a lot of trouble and impact to women in the workplace, and we need to work together to create a more just and fair workplace environment, so that the gray unspoken rule has nowhere to hide.
