Does the workplace need affection? should it be rewarded for meritorious deeds or courtesy?

Baidu Vice President Xuan Jing, a strong woman in the workplace, recently made waves on the Internet with her blunt remarks, hitting the fragile "glass field" in the hearts of professionals. Is she revealing her true feelings and nakedly revealing the hidden workplace ecology behind many large companies? Or is she deliberately fanning the flames in an attempt to create a gap between employees and the company? Or is it just a well-planned self-marketing aimed at attracting attention and gathering traffic?
For her, the emotional turmoil of employees does not seem to be in the scope of consideration: "Your emotional value, to be honest, what does it have to do with me? If you break up because your boyfriend doesn't understand your work, you want to leave, I will never keep it, and leave in seconds." Remember, as a leader, my focus is on the outcome of the work, not on acting as your family's mediator. I'm not here to interfere in your family, and I'm not meticulous, what I want to see is real work results. ”
She is blunt that working overtime and business trips on weekends is not mandatory, it is all up to her own will. But as soon as the conversation changed, she also told frankly: "If you have contributed little to the company, how can I give you a promotion and a salary increase for no reason?"
"I don't force anyone, everything depends on realization. In other words, you have to be clever and know when to fight and when to rush. Imagine, if you accompany me to fight for 50 days, overcome obstacles in the mall together, and as a leader, and don't give you the rewards you deserve, it is not only against my professional ethics, but also a betrayal of us fighting side by side. ”
Xuan Jing in the picture, dressed in a capable black professional suit, with a tall figure, short hair and neat hair, and a calm face like ice, these labels all reveal her image as a typical strong woman in the workplace. Her speech is fast, her words are like arrows, and her sentences are piercing, hitting the depths of the soul of people in the workplace, as if every sentence is torturing the inner world of people in the workplace.
Netizens are hotly discussed, with different opinions:
Someone had a very quiet opinion: "Hey, what she said is actually fine, the employee is determined to leave, so of course he has to let him go." Who would have nothing to do with handing over a letter of resignation?" But as soon as the conversation changed, "it's okay for executives to think so in their hearts, but it's a bit unsophisticated to put it on a public platform." Baidu, an old Internet giant, has such a neat image of executives, and the public relations orientation is obviously biased. ”
Another group of netizens agreed with Xuan Jing's directness: "Seriously, the workplace is like this, you can't create value for the company, why should the company keep you? It's not easy for everyone, and no one has any privileges." Another person added: "Sometimes, female leaders may see the problems of female employees more thoroughly and deal with them more simply." ”
Someone stood up to justify the resignation of the second batch: "The resignation is to tell the company, not to ask for approval, and there is nothing wrong with this." Commuting to and from work on time, overtime has to be paid, simple and straightforward. Leaders don't always want to use 'feelings' to set almost, be practical, don't keep drawing cakes. ”
Of course, there are also different voices questioning: "Is Baidu's public relations department too idle? Find trouble for yourself, create public opinion hotspots and then put out fires yourself?" More netizens spoke from the perspective of employees: "If the company doesn't rest assured that our employees, what does it have to do with whether it makes money or not?" I don't want to be the master of the house, I'm just a small screw, I really want to think that I can't do it, it's good to dismiss me, the compensation is enough, and I don't say a word and leave. ”
Some netizens also analyzed in depth: "It sounds good, I want employees to work hard, and feelings can be ignored? Is it possible to draw cakes while squeezing hard, and still expect employees to be grateful to Dade?
Let's take a look at Xuan Jing's glittering resume, it is really a powerful character, and the weight of this resume alone can make the vast majority of women in the workplace sigh to themselves.
Xuan Jing, graduated from the Foreign Affairs University, and the starting point is a cut above others. In her early years, she worked as a journalist. In 2015, she became the second-in-command of Huawei's public affairs department, and she was in charge of media response, overseas communication of corporate image, and crisis public relations at critical moments.
Fast forward to August 2021, and she added a new title - vice president of Baidu. It can be said that Xuan Jing is simply a benchmark for women in the workplace, with a strong personality, and she works as if she is hanging. Legend has it that she is so devoted to her work that she can forget how old her eldest son is and how many grades her younger son is. I don't recognize my six relatives at work, and it is estimated that the boss is happy to see her, after all, who doesn't love such a cadre? But what about the family? All year round, it is difficult to see her.
Is it worth it to do it so open-mindedly? Some people admire her dedication and achievements, and some people feel sorry for her lack of warm time with her family. However, having said that, everyone pursues a different definition of happiness, perhaps in Xuan Jing's heart, that love and sense of accomplishment for work is her greatest value.
Xuan Jing said a few words and threw out a depth charge: What is the relationship between employees and enterprises? Is it a cold buying and selling transaction, one contributes to the other and pays the other? Or, on this basis, can the two sides work together to move towards a higher goal?
Ideally, the enterprise should become a booster for the growth of employees, not only to give money, but also to give opportunities and stages, so that employees can continue to break through in learning, personal ability rises, and at the same time, the sense of belonging to the enterprise is also heating up. Isn't this the legendary win-win situation! It seems that Xuan Jing's words have inadvertently lit up the important puzzle of workplace emotional management.
In the workplace, emotional management can be called a university question. After all, how can there be no stumbling at work? Colleagues bickering, bosses criticizing, these small episodes happen from time to time. The key is that we have to learn how to properly deal with these emotions, so as not to let personal matters interfere with official affairs, and not let negative emotions slow down work efficiency.
Mastering the art of emotional management means that we must practice the "art of isolation" in our hearts, where work belongs to work, life belongs to life, and emotions do not mess around. At the same time, it is also necessary to cultivate "empathy", listen to the voices of the people around you, understand their feelings, and create a mutually supportive and harmonious working environment. As a result, team cohesion is stronger, efficiency is improved, collaboration is smoother, and career life naturally becomes more comfortable and meaningful.
Now, the delicate balance between humanity and efficiency in the workplace, as well as our attitude towards work and life, are all on the table.
Is it true that if you want to climb higher and get a higher salary, it means that you have to treat the office as a second home and work overtime until the sky is barren?
Thinking deeper, can the relationship between employees and the company go beyond the pure "you pay, I contribute"? Is it possible that the big guys can learn together, make progress together, and grow together like partners while working hard for the company?
Also, in the workplace, how can there be no wind and waves. Emotional problems, such as small frictions with colleagues and depression after being criticized by the leader, these have to be faced. What should we do? Do we choose to escape, or do we learn to be positive and eliminate these emotions one by one?
These questions are really placed in front of everyone in the workplace, testing our emotional intelligence and wisdom. In the final analysis, the workplace is not only a place to fight for IQ, but also a big classroom for cultivating emotional management and interpersonal relationships. We have to learn to work efficiently while not losing our human touch, and deal with those emotional entanglements that are untidy and messy, so that the road to the workplace can go more stable and further.
