Is the workplace always ostracized and isolated? Do these 4 points well and stop being bullied

Many people are new to the workplace, and their initial thoughts are relatively simple, thinking that as long as they live in peace with their colleagues, they will not be attacked or bullied. But in fact this is only an ideal state, and it is difficult to achieve at all. In the workplace, intrigue and intrigue are indispensable. We often warn newcomers: the intention to harm others is indispensable, and the intention to guard against others is indispensable.

1. Keep your distance from colleagues

To survive in the workplace, you must understand that you and your colleagues are not friends. You can work together only because of the same interests.

But the interests here are changing all the time, and there may be conflicts between you at any time. At that time, since they are competitors, they will inevitably make moves.

When there is a conflict of interest between the two parties, one party will always fail or give up voluntarily in order to avoid disputes.

But in the face of interests and power, who can be so generous?

Therefore, learning to keep a distance from colleagues can well avoid unnecessary troubles or emotional fetters.

Never use your own secrets to exchange friendships, because the friendships you exchange are likely to be vulnerable, but in the end you will be left behind and controlled by others everywhere, and can only be used and driven.

2. Get used to other people's different appearances

In the workplace, everyone wears a mask, and no one will take the initiative to remove the disguise in front of others.

The workplace is a vanity fair where money is everything. As long as anything and anyone has anything to do with money, it is bound to become different.

In life, there are actually many people who change themselves for money, and even lose the bottom line and principles of being a human being, and do whatever they can, especially in the workplace.

Therefore, don't simply expect others to give up their interests and choose you, otherwise, you will find out how cruel the reality is in the end.

Even if your colleague is super friendly, smiling, and very friendly to you, it's probably because the other person wants to achieve a certain goal.

For example, some people deliberately get close to you, because they are interested in your ability, or in your relationship with the leader, and want to use you.

Be mentally prepared and have certain precautions, which will make you go further in the workplace.

3. Do not arbitrarily discuss leadership or the company with colleagues

Gossiping behind your back, and in front of others, is a taboo in the workplace.

Do you know how the relationship between the other party and the leader is? Can you guarantee that no one else will leak it?

Maybe you are the only one who keeps complaining stupidly in the end, and your colleagues will deliberately record all this and spread it out after adding fuel to it.

If you don't want yourself to be a tool for others to take credit, then be careful with your words and deeds, and don't say bad things behind your back.

There is no airtight wall under the sky, the office is so big, and there is a little disturbance. Do you think it can be hidden from the eyes of the leader?

If you don't want to be abandoned, targeted, or looked down upon, the best way is to keep your mouth shut.

4. Be good at cooperation

In the workplace, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies.

You may be competitors now, but in the future you may need to work together to achieve a win-win situation.

Workers focus on interests, and wherever there is profit, there will be people. Make good use of this, improve your interpersonal relationships, strengthen your own strength, develop channels, and pave the way for the future. Success is only a matter of time.

When you have enough resources, status, and strength, not to mention your colleagues, even leaders will not dare to offend you easily.

Therefore, people must know how to improve themselves. If you are useless, it will be useless to know many people, and others will bully you.

If you want to gain respect, you have to fight for it with your own hands.
