In the workplace, it is important to be honest, but you also need to pay attention to proportion

Honesty also has to pay attention to individuality

I have a friend named Xu Qing, he is the kind of person who is very honest, he never argues with others, and he always chooses to swallow his anger when he encounters conflicts.

When he first joined the company, he never refused to be assigned overtime tasks by the leader, and was often assigned by the leader to go back and forth.

Colleagues like to cause trouble for him, but Xu Qing will only accept everything silently, and has no courage to resist.

Gradually, everyone in the unit decided that he was a soft persimmon.

However, in my opinion, it is important to be honest, but at the same time, you need to pay attention to proportion.

We must not lose our principles because we are too submissive, and we should dare to speak out and defend our rights and interests in the face of unfair treatment.

After all, if we allow our rights to be trampled on or treated unfairly, it will not only hurt our own dignity and rights, but also make others mistakenly think that we are easy to bully.

Dare to defend rights that have been violated

Another example in the unit is Wang Hua.

There are many similarities with Xu Qing: he is also timid and honest, and he never gets along with the leader.

Once, the leader asked Wang Hua to work overtime to correct the report, and although he was not feeling well, he still managed to stay up all night.

As a result, he fell ill the next day and called in sick.

Unexpectedly, the leader did not show concern for this, but criticized him for being irresponsible. Wang Hua could only swallow his anger.

I think Wang Hua can't continue to endure anymore at this time.

After all, our bodies and rights should be protected, and we must dare to defend our rights and interests when we are unjustifiably violated.

You can directly express to your boss that you are unwell and unable to work overtime, and insist on refusing to accept unreasonable accusations during your illness.

Even if the work is urgent, make sure that your health and rights are taken care of.

Don't dare to point out unfairness when encountered

Another example in the unit is Xiaohong, who has a very outstanding work ability and has always been among the best in terms of performance.

However, because she is honest and obedient and lacks the ability to refuse others, she gradually became the target of difficult bullying by her leaders and colleagues.

Leaders often blame her for no reason, and colleagues always blame her for their work, and also say that she has no team spirit.

Xiaohong can only endure silently and never cares about others.

I think Xiaohong has been treated too unfairly.

As a core talent in the unit, she should be valued and respected.

In this case, I suggest that Xiaohong can directly report the problem to the leader, clearly inform them of her performance contribution and overtime work, and express her hope to be treated fairly.

If the leader still ignores it, then you can seek a complaint from the higher authorities.

When faced with unfair treatment at work, we must have the courage to point out and defend our rights, both for our own interests and for the sake of fairness and justice for the whole team.

If you are harassed, you must dare to resist

One of my younger brothers works for a company, and his personality is very similar to the example mentioned earlier: he is honestly afraid of arguments and never dares to get into conflict with others.

But his boss often made him vexatious, made him work late into the night, and constantly made things difficult for him.

The younger brother felt very aggrieved, but he didn't have the courage to say it, so he could only endure it silently.

I advised him not to tolerate such harassment and exploitation by his boss.

Be sure to resist when you are bullied! Otherwise, the boss will get more and more aggressive, and you will be tortured even more.

You can ask your boss for overtime pay and adjustment of working hours directly, and you can choose to leave your job if you can't get a reasonable response.

After all, talents need to be valued and respected by the company, and if they can't be treated fairly, there is no need to be nostalgic.

Honesty is originally a virtue, but in a complex society, we can't lose the bottom line and principles because of honesty.

We must know how to be generous and tolerant when appropriate, but we must dare to defend our bottom line in the face of unfairness; Dare to say no to challenges and difficulties, and sometimes learn to prioritize yourself; It is also necessary to learn to decisively refuse when being taken advantage of.

Remember, true honesty is based on self-esteem and self-love.

Only by interacting with people in a principled way can you earn the respect of others.
