Do you have friends like me, every time I go home for the New Year, there are only two things that make people have a headache. First of all, my relatives are always urging me to get married, as if I am a leftover girl; Secondly, people always ask me how much I get paid, which is just a nuisance.
On the first day I got home, at least five of my relatives and neighbors came to inquire about my salary. Every time I was asked, I couldn't help but want to say, "It's your business", but I could only answer awkwardly.
In the evening, I went to my uncle's house for dinner and asked him about this problem. My uncle is a retired deputy department-level cadre who has a deep understanding of human nature.
Boy, how can you be so naïve after working for so many years? An individual's salary is a sensitive topic, both in the workplace and in life. When people inquire about your salary, they just want to snoop on your privacy and be curious about your situation. Uncle said slowly.
But no one in this world really wants you to do well except your parents. If you are well, then you will be fine; If you are not good, I will step on you. ”
When others know that your salary is higher than his, they will definitely be jealous, and they will be angry with you or try to borrow money from you. And if he learns that your salary is not as good as his, he will look down on you from the bottom of his heart, and even sneer at you. That's people. ”
When someone asks about your salary, a high-EQ answer can not only dissolve the embarrassment, but also skillfully maintain the delicate balance of the relationship. Uncle then gave a few specific instructions.
We can use the "dragon tail swing method". When someone asks about your salary, you can ask him, "Oh, my salary can't compare with everyone else, brother, how much are you?" ”
This allows you to throw the question at the other person. If the other person doesn't answer, the topic will naturally end. If the other person says the salary number, you can name a number that is about the same or slightly lower than his, so that he will feel mentally balanced.
We can adopt the "Selling Miserable and Crying Poor Method". When someone asks you about your salary, you can start acting: "Alas, brother, my salary is not enough to spend, I can't save enough for the down payment on the house, and I can't marry my daughter-in-law." Do you think you can support me? "If you borrow money directly like this, the other party will not embarrass you anymore.
We can try "gags". When someone asks you about your salary, remember not to answer directly, you can fool the past in various ways. For example, you can say: "It's okay, no more, no less, less than 100,000." Or: "My brother suddenly cares about my income, is there any good project to fly with me?" Or: "I'm about to lose my job, and I'm going to have to look for a job at the beginning of the year." ”
For example, when someone is curious about your salary, you can use the company's secrecy system as a shield so that they don't pester you anymore. Finally, there's a trick. Whenever someone asks, you answer 3500. This number is neither high nor low, just enough to fool people.
If the other party still keeps asking, then use all the methods again, and I believe they will take the initiative to give up. Uncle finally added.
It seems that ginger is still old and spicy, and he has learned a few tricks!
