In the workplace,

A large number of people, in addition to their own name, always have another title around themselves, that is, nicknames (also called nicknames and nicknames).

Especially in today's mobile Internet era, almost everyone has their own screen name, which is what we now call "nickname", and many people equate between "nickname" and "nickname".

As everyone knows, only well-meaning nicknames can be regarded as "nicknames"; some nicknames with malicious demeanor and ridicule are actually a form of discrimination.

Are you happy when you hear someone calling your nickname? Insensitive? accept? exclusion? Still helpless?

Perhaps, there are many people who don't even know when they call their colleagues nicknames, that TA has actually caused harm to others.

So, today we are going to take stock,

With these 6 nicknames, you may be discriminated against:

> > 1. Nicknames related to body shape: >

In every story, there is a fat man.

Colleagues who are called fat are generally fat, so they are called "fat", "little fat", "little fat girl" by colleagues around them...

And most of the people who were called Fatty accepted the nickname happily, but didn't know that they might have been discriminated against.

Similar to [Fat Man], people who are nicknamed by colleagues because of their body shape, for example:

The skinny people are nicknamed "bamboo poles".

> > 2. Nicknames related to physical defects: >

Faced with a stuttering friend, would you call TA "(little) stuttering" or "(little) stuttering"?

Because of family genetics, work and life pressure, etc., are those who have bald heads often called "bald heads"?

In the past, I had a colleague who had some esotropia, which is commonly known as "cross-eyed", so he was called "doudou" by a colleague in the company.

In fact, taking a nickname based on a colleague's physical defect, whether indirectly or directly, constitutes discrimination against TA.

> > 3. Nicknames related to certain habitual actions: >

I have a friend who is called "Panda" by colleagues in the company. I thought it was a wonderful thing, because pandas are a national treasure!

However, the origin of this nickname implies discrimination. Because this friend walks slowly, and his walking posture is a little swaying, he looks like a panda.

Taking nicknames according to certain habits of colleagues is often a form of ridicule.

> > 4. Nicknames related to gender characteristics: >

There are many people in the workplace, with physical characteristics, or dress, or behavior, biased towards neutral, or biased towards the opposite gender, so they are nicknamed the opposite gender.

For example: Many people call Li Yuchun "Brother Chun", which is actually a certain degree of ridicule.

Another example: some men's voices and intonations lack masculine characteristics, so they are called "sisters" by other colleagues.

Gender antonyms are, most of the time, discriminatory.

> > 5. Nicknames related to names: >

There is also the possibility of discrimination due to an individual's name being given a homophony, or a nickname that agrees, or produces certain associations.

For example: There is a person named "Chen Changfu" who was nicknamed "Prostitute" by colleagues in the company.

People's names are taken by their parents, and making a fuss about the names of colleagues is a great disrespect to them.

> > 6. Nicknames related to life and eating habits: >

I know a restaurant manager who is called "Second Senior Brother". I am very curious, why is he called "Second Senior Brother"?

He told me that it was because he usually eats a lot, so people called him "Bajie" at first, but later he was promoted to the store manager. Everyone thought it was a bit inappropriate, so he changed his name to "Second Senior Brother".

In fact, no matter how he changes it, as long as the starting point of the nickname remains the same, then the smell of discrimination will never dissipate.

No matter in the workplace or in life, we are always used to seeing certain shortcomings or defects in our colleagues and friends. The origin of some people's nicknames is irrefutable evidence.

Discrimination against others is also a reflection of their own human flaws.

Instead of giving others discriminatory nicknames, it is better to see the advantages of colleagues from the perspective of appreciation, and then give them a beautiful nickname!

In the workplace, which colleagues have you given nicknames to?

Or, what is your nickname?

Is there some kind of discrimination behind this?
