These four manifestations indicate that the leader treats you as a 'tool person'

Tool people, as the name suggests, are people who are used as tools.

Someone on the Internet explained it as: "It means that someone is always on call with others and works hard, but for himself, he has never been treated equally emotionally or financially, and he has always been called by the other party as a tool."

People are in the unit and only work for a long time, but they are not promoted or appointed. Most of the reasons are that the leaders use you as a "tool person". These kinds of performances are the best explanations.

01

Treat you as a machine, one for others and one for yourself.

If the leader regards you as a "tool man", then in his mind, you are just like a machine, which can be linked together. As long as there is a task, it doesn't matter whether it is working hours or not, and whether your body can handle it or not, you must arrive at the scene as soon as possible, and even if you work overtime, you must complete the work.

Seeing that you came non-stop, I wouldn't say a word of "compliment", I just threw all the work to you, said a few requirements, patted my butt and left. When it’s time, no matter how long you’ve worked, whether you haven’t eaten or not, you only ask about the results of your work.

It seems that their work style is "resolute and vigorous", but that is all done for others to see. When assigning work tasks to you, it is very urgent, and it must be completed in a few minutes. But once you've completed the task, he waits for his superiors to ask questions.

For example, he asked you to work overtime all night to write materials, and when you delivered the materials early in the morning, he said: "The boss hasn't arrived yet, what's the hurry."

This kind of job requirements that set one set for others and set a set of work requirements for oneself is made clear, and it is playing you like a monkey.

Faced with this kind of work arrangement of "anxious people", if you take it seriously, and you are more anxious than him, then it is enough to be in once, and when the next time, you will learn not to be in a hurry, let him be in a hurry.

02

Except for work, the rest is indifferent and indifferent.

The "tool person" is the person who can create the most value in a unit.

Different from the confidants of the leaders, and also different from the idle, troubled, and lazy people, they undertake most of the important and difficult tasks, which require a lot of mental and physical effort.

According to common sense, even if it is a machine, it should be maintained regularly to keep them in the best condition to create more value.

But if you're being treated as a "tool man," once you call in sick, you won't be able to get the care and attention you deserve.

First of all, it is difficult to ask for leave. Even if you are lethargic and take the medical records as proof, they still put on a high-level look: The work task is so tight, why do you still ask for leave, you blame yourself for not paying attention to exercise? It seems like you've made an unforgivable mistake when you're sick.

Again, vacations are hard. Some leaders, on the surface, generously give you permission to leave, and also say some scenes such as recuperating with peace of mind. But you hadn't even walked out of the office door when the call to arrange work came.

Of course, they won't say that they are adding tasks to you, they will only move out a bigger leader to scare you, order you in the name of the department, and you will do nothing less, even in his own share. The work still has to be done by you.

For this kind of hypocrisy and ruthlessness, you must not get angry and let yourself be "injured" again. The best way is to either not answer the phone, or just go back and say, "I'm on sick leave, and I'll talk about anything when I get back."

Your body is yours. Once you really fall ill, the company can replace people immediately, but the whole family supported by you will be ruined, which is not worth it.

03

"Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge" to you.

Since you are regarded as a "tool person", then when you are used, you will lower your posture a little, talk and laugh with you, keep getting close, and play emotional cards, so that you are willing to work overtime for it.

But once it is used up, it will show indifference to you immediately. As for the achievement of certain work achievements, it basically has nothing to do with you.

Whether it is a meeting attended by all employees or a small-scale report, the leader will only mention how he coordinates, arranges deployment, works hard, and works hard. his experience.

Of course, even if they deal with each other again, the leader will not have the slightest self-blame for his "full authority" request for credit. He will only assume a leadership stance and look down on you.

In this regard, you should not always be a "stuffy gourd", but always find opportunities to praise yourself and show your ability to "lead the way".

Next time, if people use you as a tool, you don't have to devote all your energy to it, learn to shirk and refuse, and let him worry about it.

04

"Bullying the soft and fearing the hard" for a long time.

Seeing that you speak well, I will assign all the work to you.

Such people often do nothing and have no ability to do it themselves. But what they do best is to be "setters", go to the leaders to curry favor, and command the subordinates.

As long as you have strong professional skills and get along well with other colleagues, you should not be afraid to offend people. For the obvious uneven division of labor, you must dare to reject it positively, and find out the documents accusing the division of labor, which are well-founded.

If people still force it over, then you should also let him admit in public: this is an extra work task, and extra pay must be paid, whether it is overtime pay or assessment rewards. Every time you argue with reason, step by step, you get rid of this "weak" image for yourself.

For this kind of boss who treats you as a "donkey" and obviously bullies you, just do your job well, and don't worry about the rest.

Those leaders who treat you as a tool person, you must not expect him to reward you for your merits and deeds, they are just hundreds of thousands of times more "ruthless" than you. It was by bullying such a tool person and stepping on the shoulders of others that they climbed up step by step.

In this regard, what you need to learn is: "return the way of others to their own bodies", and to "green out of blue and better than blue". In this way, we will stand firm and remain invincible.
