With the Spring Festival approaching, the workplace is not only full of expectations for annual leave, but also accompanied by frequent celebrations. At the end of each year, there are a lot of people who have a wedding, but for the colleagues who are invited, it often means a lot of money. In the small society of the workplace, especially when the protagonist of the wedding has a direct blood relationship with the upper echelons of the company, the amount of the gift is no longer a simple number.
Zhang Qiang is an intern in the company, although he has only been in the company for less than 2 months, he has great ambitions and wants to be in the limelight everywhere. When he learned that the manager's daughter was about to get married, Zhang Qiang immediately realized that this was a great time to show himself. A few days before the wedding, he did not hesitate to hand over a red envelope of 6,600 yuan, which is undoubtedly the highest among colleagues. His actions, apparently with a deep personal purpose, spread quickly in the company and caused quite a stir.
For the other 12 invited colleagues, Zhang Qiang's behavior undoubtedly raised the "market price" of the gift. But they don't plan to blindly follow up, because in the workplace, blind comparisons and stutters are not a long-term solution. So, they decided that each person would still give the appropriate amount of money in accordance with common sense, along with a special gift: a carefully selected book on workplace wisdom, relationships, and integrity, with the aim of sending a profound message that true connections are built on sincerity and mutual respect.
On the day of the wedding, in addition to Zhang Qiang's 6,600 yuan red envelope, each colleague handed over a book and said respectfully to the manager: "This is our common heart, and we hope to provide some guidance for the newlyweds' life journey." This action immediately won the praise of everyone present, and even the manager himself was deeply moved.
The manager made a point of mentioning this at the party after the wedding: "I appreciate your intentions, these books are not only beneficial to my daughter and son-in-law, but also show me your deep understanding of life and work. As for Zhang Qiang's 6,600 yuan gift, the manager only lightly expressed his gratitude, but did not pay too much attention.
Afterwards, Zhang Qiang's behavior caused a discussion within the company. Some people think that his approach is clever because he has succeeded in getting the attention of the leadership, but more often there is criticism and sarcasm, that his behavior is too deliberate, and even somewhat flattering, which is not appreciated in the company's culture.
The manager's daughter got married, and the intern who joined the company for less than 2 months gave a gift of 6,600 yuan, why do you think he should give so much money? Do you think the counterattack of other colleagues is effective? Welcome to communicate in the comment area!
