Whether it is the company's internal propaganda slogans or the communication between employees, they are full of slogans such as "positive" and "only look at the results and not the process".
However, behind this atmosphere of optimism, there are some thought-provoking questions.
In such an atmosphere, any negative emotions are seen as inappropriate or even harmful.
Employees are expected to maintain a smile and optimism at all times, and to act like "everything is fine" even in the face of pressure and heavy tasks.
This false optimism imposed on employees is not only exhausting, but also creates a fear of real emotional expression.
Managers often like to use words like "we are a big family" and "we are like a team" to describe the relationship within the company.
However, in reality, there may be problems such as conflict of interests, deception, and deception within the company.
This false image not only masks the real problem, but also leads to a lack of sincerity and trust between employees.
They tend to respond to questions or objections raised by employees with "there is no problem that cannot be solved" and "if you work hard enough, you can succeed".
Such a simplistic and crude denial of the existence of problems and the expectation that all problems will be solved through simple efforts is tantamount to escapism and shirking responsibility.
In this climate, failure is often seen as the result of a lack of personal competence or a lack of positive attitude, and it is often emphasized that "if you are willing to work hard, you will succeed".
However, in fact, not all failures can be resolved with more efforts, and sometimes failures may be due to changes in the external environment, unfair distribution of resources, etc.
As a social phenomenon, we need to rationally examine the misunderstandings and crises contained in it, and find a more reasonable and effective management method.
First, we should recognize that it's normal for everyone to have emotional ups and downs, as well as feelings of frustration and anxiety in the face of challenges, and allow employees the right to express their true emotions rather than forcing them to put on a fake smile.
Secondly, when building a company culture, we should pay attention to sincerity and trust, and dare to face the possible internal conflicts of interest, competition and other problems, and take corresponding measures to solve them, rather than choosing to hide the bell. In addition, when dealing with problems and challenges, we should solve specific problems with a pragmatic and rational attitude, rather than simply denying or trying to comfort employees with empty slogans. Finally, we must accept that failure is the only way to succeed and learn from it to promote personal growth. We call on the whole society to work together to create a new workplace culture that is tolerant of all kinds of emotional expressions, but also has the courage to face reality and have a positive mental state.
