In the modern workplace, social etiquette between colleagues can sometimes be subtle and stressful. Especially when it comes to a "red bomb" – a colloquial term for a colleague's wedding invitation – people often have to respond, even if it's just a symbolic red envelope as a token token of their blessing. However, things get complicated when the couple hands out wedding invitations just after stepping into the company.
Recently, a similar scene occurred at a financial company located in the center of the city. The company's staff structure is balanced between men and women, and the working atmosphere has always been relatively harmonious. Everyone is looking forward to the injection of fresh blood, especially in the financial quarter when human resources are tight. Finally, a new female colleague named Li Mei joined the team, she was not only experienced but also personable, and soon won the respect of her colleagues for her professional ability.
However, Li Mei's arrival brought unexpected waves. On the seventh day of her employment, she distributed her wedding invitation to the whole company. This behavior caused confusion among employees, after all, her connection with the company was still shallow, and her behavior was particularly abrupt.
The company's general manager, Liu, is always an experienced and insightful business person. When he learned of Li Mei's actions, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He recalls meeting Li Mei at an industry networking meeting before when she was a senior manager at another large company. Mr. Liu remembers that she also handed out wedding invitations to attendees in the same way, however, shortly after the wedding, Li Mei left her job for personal reasons.
This series of coincidences made Mr. Liu suspicious, and he worried that Li Mei might have other motives. In order to avoid possible deception of employees, Mr. Liu decided to take a clear stance on the incident. In an internal email, he pointed out that employees were advised not to attend Ms. Li's wedding, and not to give away any form of gift money.
At the same time, Mr. Liu also instructed the human resources department to pay close attention to Li Mei's every move to ensure that the company's interests are not harmed. His decision caused quite a stir within the company, but most employees supported the general manager's decision.
In this quiet office environment, Lee's seemingly innocuous invitations reveal the complex motives that may be hidden behind them. Mr. Liu's quick response reflects his management wisdom and responsible attitude towards employees.
