I thought I was very lucky to make real friends in the workplace. However, as I grew older, I came to discover a harsh reality: in the workplace, true friendships are almost non-existent. It's not a fact I want to believe, but it's a truth that I've come to realize.
When I was a young newcomer to the workplace, I always had trust and kindness towards my colleagues around me. I think that as long as I'm kind to people, they'll be nice to me too. However, over time, I discovered a number of disappointing facts.
"Zhang, you know what? That project of ours was canceled. My colleague Xiao Li suddenly walked up to my desk and said with a somewhat depressed expression.
"How could it be?" I was a little surprised, after all, we had put so much time and effort into this project.
"Yes, the leadership suddenly decided to cancel, saying that there was a lack of funds. Xiao Li smiled bitterly and shook his head.
I felt a sense of loss in my heart, but I knew that this kind of thing was not uncommon in the workplace. I reassured, "It's okay, maybe it's just a temporary setback." We have a lot of other opportunities. ”
Xiao Li nodded and looked at me gratefully, "Thank you, Xiao Zhang, you are always so optimistic." ”
I smiled and nodded, and while I was disappointed, I knew it was important to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude in the workplace.
However, as time went on, I gradually discovered that not everyone in the workplace is as trustworthy and trustworthy as Xiao Li. Sometimes, the friendship between people is only superficial, and there may be a variety of complex interests and competitions hidden behind it.
"Zhang, you know what? That project of ours was canceled. "My colleague Xiao Wang came to talk to me.
"What? canceled?!" I was a little shocked.
"Yes, the leader made this decision suddenly. Xiao Wang's face was full of disappointment.
I was silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe it's just a temporary setback, we have a lot of other opportunities." ”
Xiao Wang smiled bitterly and said, "You are always so optimistic, I really envy you." ”
I smiled and nodded, and although I was disappointed, I knew that it was very important to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude in the workplace.
I've come to understand that in the workplace, many relationships are not based on true friendship, but on interests and purposes. Some people will show friendliness and warmth, but behind the scenes they may take advantage of you or betray you. This phenomenon chills my heart and makes me cherish those who are truly trustworthy even more.
