Unspoken rules in the workplace: 2000 for guests, 5000 for reimbursement, employees reporting, why the leaders turn a blind eye
A newcomer in the workplace, Xiao T, successfully passed the internship period and was assigned to the business department by the leader. That night, as a driver, Xiao T was taken by the manager to a dinner party. The dinner party was filled with the company's customers. Next to the manager, a total consumption of 2,000 yuan. The next day at work, the manager took the invoice and asked Xiao T to sort it out and ask the leader for reimbursement. When sorting the invoice, Xiao T found that several invoices were the manager's personal shopping invoices, adding up to a total of 5,000 yuan. I only spent 2,000 for dinner last night, but the manager had to report 5,000. Little T felt very embarrassed. Isn't this a false report? It's taking advantage of the company. Little T couldn't pass this test in his heart, so he took the invoice and told the leader about this. The leader didn't get into a rage as he imagined, but just replied with a small T, "Okay, I understand, you can put down the invoice." After a period of time, the leader did not mention this matter, and the words of the invoice were also signed. Little T wondered why the leaders turned a blind eye to such corruption and false invoicing. . .
The ugliness of corruption, kickbacks, and false invoices have always existed in the workplace. We have been taught since childhood that we should not take what is not our own, and we should not harm the collective interests because of personal interests, so many people hate this phenomenon. Many people think that this phenomenon occurs because leaders are deceived. In fact, how can leaders be deceived easily? It's not that they don't know or don't handle it, but that there is a deeper level of thinking behind them.
1. Benefit calculation
Many people have never been leaders, and they take it for granted that the company is led by leaders and has power in hand, so they can do whatever they want. This is actually a misunderstanding. The higher the level, the more things are considered, because it is necessary to balance the interests of all aspects, and it is not possible to only focus on the immediate interests and ignore the long-term interests. Every company and enterprise survives with illness, and there is no perfect organization in this society. As long as there is no problem in the general direction, these problems can be solved with the development of the enterprise. If your eyes are always focused on those details and are too serious, you will often ignore the development of the general direction, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
2. When the water is clear, there are no fish
When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Everyone knows this. It is said that high salaries support low wages. This is just an ideal. It is impossible for all companies to use high salaries to retain employees, especially those start-up companies that don’t have that much money. Shouldn't it be added as well? The cost is too great to bear. And the temptation outside is so great, if you can't make money, it will force employees to take the initiative to change jobs. So turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, as long as you can create profits for the company, as long as you have the ability, let it show its full potential.
3. The interests of the company and the interests of the leadership are not consistent.
Many people think that harming the interests of the company is harming the interests of leaders. In fact, it is not absolute. The company may be the leader, but it does not mean that the interests of the company are the interests of the leader. Perhaps your leader is only one of the shareholders. Another leader also needs to buy people's hearts, and also needs to form his own team. He can't always use his own money to buy people's hearts. What to do then, let this behavior go, one is to use the company's resources to benevolent to the subordinates, and the other is to use it as a handle to control the subordinates.
4. The timing is wrong
If an enterprise can formulate an excellent system or a strict system, it can be said to be of great help to management. Therefore, many companies like to formulate an iron discipline, many rules, and a bunch of processes. The purpose is to use Standardize employee behavior. But in fact, the effect is not ideal. Many employees can't stand this constraint. They want to keep people with high salaries, but the capital is not enough. So this is the wrong time, which means that the current stage is not suitable for doing it. Even if it is done, the effect will not be good. it is good. Only when the company becomes bigger, has strength, and has no external enemies, and then cleans up internal corruption, the effect will be different.
Therefore, it is not that the leaders turn a blind eye to corruption, but there are many considerations behind it. As subordinates, we, no matter whether you approve or disapprove, are not in your position, do not seek political affairs, and do your job well, you don't need to worry too much about this, and you don't need to have this kind of mastery spirit.
