23 unspoken rules of the workplace that have been overlooked

1: Ideals are important, but more important than ideals are benefits.

In the workplace, most people have ideals, which is also an important goal for people. But if you really put your ideal into reality, you will often die a miserable death.

Because the workplace is a place to exchange benefits, the boss relies on you to make money, and you exchange labor for money. The basis of all activities is interest.

Focusing only on ideals and not understanding the importance of interests is why most people are discouraged.

Therefore, if you want to succeed in the workplace, you need not only "ideals", but also "benefits".

2: The surface is righteousness, the heart is business, this is the essence of the workplace.

Some people are awe-inspiring on the surface, always the party that makes sense, but they never suffer losses when they do things. And more people can't take advantage of it on the surface, but in fact they are the ones who suffer losses. They are all mixed in the workplace, why is there so much difference?

Because some people's names are "hypocrisy." They are righteous on the surface, but in their hearts they are business, and they see clearly that the essence of the workplace is profit.

We do not advocate hypocrisy, but this does not prevent hypocrisy from existing.

Instead of letting us be killed by hypocrites, let ourselves be hypocritical first, at least to be invincible.

3: Treat people with sincerity, but sincerity has goals and scales.

We have been taught to "treat others with sincerity" since childhood, and many people use this as a golden rule and use it on any occasion. Even in the workplace, treat people sincerely. There is no doubt that these people will eventually touch the nose of ash, and even cause trouble.

Honest people in the workplace are always at a loss, even if you want to treat people with sincerity, you must have your own scale. And sincerity to people, there should be a purpose, otherwise it is a "rotten good person" in the workplace, and in the end, the one who suffers the most losses and the worst reputation is still you.

4: Work will not harm you, only people will harm you.

In the workplace, we all encounter work accidents. For example, at the critical moment of promotion competition, you have to travel. For example, it is obvious that it is something that can be done well, but it is wrong.

In fact, we do work, but we get along with people. All the incidents of work harming people have planning and mastermind behind them.

You must remember that in the workplace, the work itself is dead, it will not harm people, only people will harm you.

5: Do things to hide clumsiness, and be timid.

If you think about it, what kind of workplace successes do you know? They don't look like they're awesome, or even flaws everywhere, as if you can overtake them at any time.

But in terms of doing things, these people are all-round, almost unobtrusive, so that people can't grasp the handle.

Survival in the workplace is not about how good you can be, but about how long you can live. Therefore, people should expose their shortcomings and make people unguarded, and they should be careful not to be caught everywhere.

6: The more your boss praises you, the less benefit you get.

It's not a good thing for your boss to praise you because they take the cheapest verbal compliments instead of substantive benefits. Many bosses don't skimp on praise, but hide the actual benefits in their own pockets. Every time you are praised, you have fewer opportunities for promotion and promotion. So don't be fooled by your boss's rhetoric.

7: Planning should be long-term, and the money should be taken in a timely manner

There are people who are too short-sighted, and there are people who are too far-sighted. The workplace is an art of improvisation, and it must not be treated with an attitude towards life.

For a career, you have to have a vision, because it's not the work you're doing, it's your life. But when it comes to money, you must be short-sighted, try to get your hands on it as much as possible, and only the one who falls into the bag is your money.

Remember that life is yours and can be planned for the long term. And the money is someone else's, and only by grasping it can it become yours.

8: There is a cost to offending people.

The taboo in the workplace is to be controlled by temporary emotions and involuntarily offend people. Any workplace master is silent and bottomless.

The reason is actually very simple, in the workplace, there is a cost to offend people, you think you don't have to be afraid of others, you can offend at will, but in this process, you have already paid the cost.

Because the workplace is a place where benefits are exchanged, your colleagues, bosses, and you are not related, they have no reason to be patient. When you have offended them, even if you do not repay them today, when one day you commit a crime at their hands, you will inevitably retaliate fiercely.

In the world of feng shui rotation, can you live a lifetime without committing a crime in the hands of others?

9: Be a capable minister under a good boss, and a traitor under a bad boss

Workplace survival is ever-changing and cannot be ended in one place.

Always being a good person may make you a thorn in the eye of a bad boss. Always being a traitor and not being able to get the trust and reuse of a good boss.

Being able to distinguish between good and bad bosses, understanding the needs of superiors, being able to be a capable minister under a good boss, and being a traitor under a bad boss is the highest state of the workplace.

From ancient times to the present, the powerful ministers whose ownership has fallen to the opposition are masters of playing this set of tricks.

10: The worse others treat you, the better you have to be to people

Good people can be offended because they have a gentle personality and won't retaliate against you. But the bad guys must never be offended, for they will repay with their eyes open, and if you sin against them, you will reap tenfold the consequences.

"Good people repay good, bad people repay bad" is a wish, but it never comes true. The way to guard against bad people is not to be careful everywhere, but others are bad to you, and you have to be good to people.

This is not "revenge with virtue", but lurking and forbearing, until you have enough strength to fight back, so that the bad guys can get the retribution they deserve.

But before that, how good you have to be, you have to perform well.

11: The boss's reasoning for you is always beneficial to him.

Some people take the boss's words as a holy will, but understand that the boss, as a person, also has his own workplace interests.

Therefore, what the boss said, of course, was from his own position, in order to protect his interests.

The interests of labor and management are opposed, the interests of the boss represent what you will lose, and the more you listen to the boss, the more you lose.

It is not to never listen to the boss, but to think independently and know which sentence is good for you and which sentence is harmful to you.

12: The boss will not adapt to you, only you will adapt to the boss.

Losers like to shirk their responsibilities, blame the environment for their failures, blame their bosses and colleagues, and feel that the whole world is not suitable for them.

However, in the workplace, how much power you have, how important it is. A man without power is only a fish in the sea, and only the fish adapts to the sea, and no sea adapts to the fish.

If you want to survive, you have to adapt to your boss, and you want to do the opposite, unless you can climb to the boss's head.

13: Bury your head in the hard work to fight the world, only touch a nose of ash.

In the workplace, the most common basic mistake people make is to feel that the workplace is the place to do things.

Is the workplace a place to do things? No, the workplace is a place to be human. In the workplace, interpersonal relationships are more important than work ability, and the requirements of being a person are greater than the requirements of doing things.

But many newcomers don't know this, and they think that the only thing they can do to enter the workplace is to bury their heads in the work.

However, burying one's head in the work is actually the simplest thing in the workplace, as long as it is an individual, it can do so, without any technical content. If you want to become a successful person in the workplace, you must do something other than bury your head in work, otherwise, you can only touch the ash of your nose.

14: It's not your fault to be in a complicated environment, but it's your fault to complain about others.

Losers usually have three steps to find reasons for themselves, namely "complaining about the sky", "being special", and "self-pity". After passing all the responsibility on others, the loser can easily continue to fail.

But can complaining about the world save a person from failure? It will only make you sink deeper and deeper into setbacks.

Putting the responsibility on yourself, reflecting on and summarizing the methods, this is the way out for the survival of the little people in the workplace.

15: There are no good people in the workplace for no reason.

The cruelty of the workplace is that we ourselves do not abuse good people, nor can we believe that there are good people in the workplace for no reason.

Because everyone comes for profit, everyone revolves around interests.

People are not friends, but enemies.

Why give you benefits for no reason? In "Latent", as long as someone suddenly comes to help you, there must be a trick, which is a trap of interests between people and people.

Any pie that falls from the sky is poisonous.

All free lunches are traps.

Although I can't be 100% sure, nine out of ten is enough.

16: The more good people rise, the slower they rise. The worse the character, the faster people rise, so don't offend them.

In the workplace, the more good people rise more slowly, and people with bad character are like helicopters, why?

Because people with bad character are usually flattering villains, patting their bosses on the back and helping their bosses do more private work than official work. So they are usually recommended by their superiors.

Acting on the boss, flattering the boss, and suppressing the subordinates, this is the typical workplace villain.

But everything they do can benefit them and give them the opportunity to get a promotion and a raise.

So in the workplace, the bad guys always rise the fastest, there's no doubt about that.

17: In the good times, we must leave ourselves a way back, and in the face of adversity, we must charge upwards.

Some people are usually stupid and bold, who dare to offend, dare to say anything, but at the critical moment, they are suddenly instigated, and the more frustrated they are, the more they lie down, and this kind of person will never have any achievements.

The lurker in the workplace is usually cautious in speaking, and leaving a way back for himself in the good times. At the critical time, I dare to do it, and I am not afraid of anything.

Although it is only the difference in order before and after, it can make a world of difference in results.

18: It doesn't matter who you like, what matters is who is useful to you.

The people you like are usually people who are lower than your position and less enterprising than you. And the people you hate are usually your bosses, the people who force you to work.

Is this likes and dislikes useful for your career?

The workplace is not a place where you can choose your preferences independently, because the workplace gives you a salary and buys out your working time, in this time, you are not the original you, you should not have any self-conscious preferences, you can only analyze from the perspective of work and interests, what you should do, what you should not love to do.

Preferences have never been the standard by which people are judged in the workplace.

Only interests are the only criteria for you to choose a partner in the workplace.

19: What your boss says to give you will not necessarily give you, and what you want to give you will also give you.

Bosses don't count, it is the most common phenomenon in the workplace, and often the more honest people are, the more they are deceived, but they do not work hard, and only know that people who slap the horse can get benefits.

Over time, we will find a phenomenon, the boss said to give you, often can not be fulfilled, the more times promised to pat the chest to guarantee, the more likely it is to get it.

Because the boss "said it", for them, it is equivalent to "doing it". This kind of "saying" often means "not fulfilling." ”

20: The interests of the company do not represent your interests.

The interests of the company are actually the private interests of the boss. As a small employee, you should have your own workplace interests, and these two interests are often opposed.

For example, if the boss works overtime for free for the benefit of the company, it is best for employees to work overtime for free. But for you, this is a violation of your professional interests.

The biggest manifestation of the boss's company interest is to make more money and less money. And your workplace interest is to make more money whether you make money or not.

Taking the interests of the boss as their own interests is the biggest flicker in the workplace.

21: The boss's ideals will never be relevant to you, so have your own plan.

The boss usually controls the subordinate in an ideal-bound way, transforming his personal ideals into collective ideals, and making all individuals strive for the same goal.

But the real common goal is that everyone shares the common interests, if the only profit after the company makes money is the boss, the only promotion after the success of the project is the boss, then as a small employee, why are you desperate?

Whether the boss's ideal is your ideal or not, you must think independently from your own standpoint.

22: In the workplace, no one is completely dependent on real ability to eat.

Everyone in the workplace is complex, and everyone has different attributes. Some people have a hard background, some people will flatter, some people can use their bodies to ascend to the position, and some people know how to protect the interests of their superiors.

You see those who succeed doing good things, but in reality, what you see is just a big show in front of the stage.

Everyone behind the scenes, there will be small tricks and small actions, and it is these things that you can't see, which is the magic weapon for them to win.

Don't be confused by superficial things, if you take everything as the other party's real ability, then you are fooled.

No one really eats by their ability.

23, there is no unreasonable workplace, only unreasonable mentality.

All those who think the workplace is unreasonable are losers. And almost all successful people feel that everything is reasonable.

The same workplace, there is such a big difference for different people?

In fact, everything is a matter of mentality. Losers can't adapt to the workplace, so they shift the blame to the outside. And successful people seize every opportunity, work hard to adapt to the workplace, and let themselves be at ease.

Success in the workplace depends not only on technology, but more importantly on mentality.

Without a mindset that caters to the world and strives to change, one can only insist on oneself in one's own world forever.

Such a person can be a good artist and a good writer, but he cannot become a successful person in the workplace.

Where to go, self-choosing.
