In the workplace, you need to learn to be ruthless to these three types of people.

In the workplace, it is often said: "Don't let honest people lose out". But the truth is that honest people always suffer.

An overly honest person is always bullied and given a patronizing excuse such as "it's a sign of trust, it's for you to work out". Those who are best at passing the buck are laughing their heads off as they watch the honest person being forced to accept more tasks with no choice.

A smart, honest person knows how to be honest, how to do things honestly, and how to protect themselves and their owners, and in the right moment to resist, makes people "look up".

The people who take advantage of you, are ruthless.

In the workplace, there is a strange phenomenon: the better you talk, the more difficult others are to you, the better your temper and the more others bully you.

This kind of person, like a parasite, can't wait to eat you up a little. If you have been going by the book, honestly to do, in the end, will be very tired, and even themselves will look down on yourself.

In the workplace, people who are bent on using you often have all sorts of nice excuses, what the main leader named you to do this thing, why you type fast, why you have a strong overall ability, so you come to take on the heavy responsibility and so on.

My friend Xiaomei, to the new unit to do a full five years of office clerk work, whether it is to do documents and meetings, or writing materials, is recognized as a "master" of the. However, her boss is still very dissatisfied with this and loves to pick bones in the eggs.

This time, the unit in the recommended cadres, Xiaomei, and the supervisor were in charge of the leadership and at the same time shouted to talk, and when mentioned to recommend Xiaomei, the supervisor full of contempt said: "can not mention Xiaomei!

Xiaomei immediately froze, she had not thought, and worked with their boss for five years, what things are shifted to their boss, not to help recommend, but also become their promotion on the road to the biggest "obstacle"!

The supervisor's ill-timed words were hurriedly diverted by the subordinate leader. Xiao Mei also stopped talking, but for the first time, she showed an extremely unhappy look.

Xiao Mei said, for this kind of people who are bent on using themselves, it is better to be desperate and not make themselves look like slaves, doing whatever people shout. Otherwise, they would never show an ounce of respect.

Since then, we have heard very little about her working overtime from time to time, but rather how she politely but firmly refuses to let her bosses do their own "jokes" about getting things done. It was clear to us that it took a lot of effort for Mei to change her old "on-call" ways, and that she didn't want to be the one to be used ruthlessly all the time, so she used the same methods to treat the person who treated her ruthlessly.

The same way you treat someone ruthless to you.

In the workplace, profit-oriented people abound, to earn more profits, they will think of all sorts of ways, everything they can, if you have the value of use, or you compete with the profit, it is necessary to be extra careful.

Profit-oriented people, often cloaked in warmth and affection, if not careful, it is easy, to sell themselves, but also to help others count the money.

When I first joined the company, to mingle with my colleagues, a group of middle-aged women in their 40s and 50s, I deliberately tried to participate in their conversations. At first, their "mothering", "husbanding" and "shopping" was refreshing, and I was always able to comment on their leisurely lives from an onlooker's perspective. I was always able to comment on their leisurely lives from an onlooker's point of view, and I got their approval time and again.

Once I was able to strike up a conversation with them, a female colleague called Mu Yang became close to me, intentionally or unintentionally. I could sense that she was up to something.

At first, she always said that she had nothing to do with it, but that it was a blessing to be able to have such a good conversation. Gradually, whenever she came to talk to me, I would drop what I was doing and talk to her first. And for her to ask me to help with something, like writing a dynamic message, document layout, or even some difficult comprehensive material.

And gradually, she didn't even say much, she just sent me the work to be done directly and told me to finish it quickly, while she slipped away to talk to other people.

Finally, one day, when I was so busy, she even threw a material in front of me and asked me to hurry up and correct it for her, and I couldn't stand it any longer and simply refused. To my surprise, she exploded and yelled, "Is that so petty? It doesn't take you much time."

I finally realized that the reason she saw me as one of her "own" was to take advantage of me without question. It didn't matter if I was tired or if I was delaying my own business.

The more you give in, the more they take advantage of you. The more tolerant you are, the more they intensify. For such profit-minded people, either stay away from them from the start or distance them decisively after revealing the truth about them. Only then will you not be laughed at as someone who has no bottom line

Be ruthless to the ungrateful.

Some people, if you treat them well a hundred times, will not remember your goodness, but if you treat them badly once, they will remember that one bad time.

People who do not know how to be grateful take the hard work of others for granted.

Xiao Kai is a former colleague of mine at the newspaper, because he comes from abroad, on weekdays, everyone takes extra care of him. Every Friday, he was tacitly allowed to leave work two hours earlier so that he could go back earlier.

As his direct supervisor, I was always interested in nurturing this young man, who was a good professional. Whenever I came across some good topics, I would always recommend he write them, and I would always revise the articles he wrote with care so that he could get more attention.

But Kai always felt that I was making things difficult for him and was resistant to some interview arrangements. He often asked me to arrange less difficult interviews for him in front of other colleagues, which at one point made me feel uncomfortable.

The reason for Kai's attitude once puzzled me. It was only when I saw him repeatedly frequenting another middle manager's office and heard colleagues talking about it that I realized that Kai was flattering me.

He didn't want to settle down as a journalist writing articles, he was looking forward to going through the managerial route. The other side has a background, and I, too, am just a person who can't get a foothold by writing.

I finally saw the face of Kai's eagerness to get what he wanted and his lack of gratitude. I stopped being "self-serving" and tried to nurture him more.

Later, Kai did take up a managerial position. Since then, he has treated his former colleagues as if he did not know them. But almost everyone who knows him has a low opinion of him.

When you reach middle age, if you do not know how to be ruthless to others, you will fall into the situation of being treated ruthlessly by others.

The workplace is like a battlefield, hidden in the storm clouds change, always stay alert, recognize the true nature of others, decisively take measures to fight back, will lay a good position in the workplace.
