Don't talk about these 5 major topics in the workplace, if you want to talk about it, or you will cut your own future
Working in the workplace is not like being at home. You can say anything and do everything. If you don’t pay attention, it is very likely that the disaster will come out of your mouth. Therefore, when communicating with colleagues, be sure to Remember, don't say everything, maybe you just finished speaking, and it will reach the leader's ears in less than half an hour! There are a total of 5 taboo topics in the workplace. Don't talk about it, or you will be cutting your own future.
- Ambitious words
As the saying goes, "the gun hits the first bird" is not without reason. A person's ability lies not in his mouth, but in his actual actions. No matter how ambitious a person is, don't say it in the office, because colleagues will only agree superficially, and in private they will roll their eyes and laugh at his big cow.
He may also provoke enemies for himself. Some more scheming colleagues, after hearing his rhetoric, will regard him as a competitor and compete secretly. Of course, ambition is not essential. Ambition is actually important, but we should use it as a motivator for progress, not a topic of conversation.
- Your own network resources
Some have extensive connections and contacts with many powerful people. No matter which colleague mentions which "great person", he can think of "I know this person very well". In fact, such people are either stupid or liars, and those who can actually take advantage of their relationships must be tight-lipped.
Colleague Xiao Li is very capable. He was a popular candidate for the last department manager vacancy. Who knew that Xiao Li often boasted that the vice president of the company was his father's friend. As a result, his rivals secretly memorized it and reported it to their superiors. Later, in order to avoid suspicion, the vice president did not promote Xiao Li.
- Your own past
Everyone works hard from the bottom up, and inevitably there will be something shady about everyone. We can all see that when a star catches fire, he immediately whitewashes his past. When a businessman is rich, he will try his best to cover up his past.
So if people in the workplace tell their colleagues about their previous scandals, they plant a ticking time bomb with their own hands, and it may not detonate anytime soon.
- Don't talk about salary
In any company, not talking about salary is an unspoken rule, and the phenomenon of "equal pay for equal work" is very common. A person's salary can be affected by major, potential, educational background, and other factors. Some even earn hundreds of dollars more than others because they were born in a prestigious school or have a family background.
Therefore, we should not inquire about the salary of others, because the other party will think that their privacy has been violated and will not tell you the truth. Also, after seeing your actions, your boss may think you are someone who only pays attention to a few hundred bucks in your own eyes and not self-improvement, and will be biased against you from now on.
- Opportunities you see
If you see a great opportunity at work, don't call it out. An opportunity known to one is called "opportunity", an opportunity known to many is called "competition", and you should know "silent creation of wealth".
Once, the leader told Xiao Zhang that the company wanted to add an overseas business department. He felt that Xiao Zhang was particularly suitable for this department, and wanted to transfer him as a manager. As a result, as soon as he was happy, he told his colleagues the good news.
As a result, the whole company got the news the next day, and everyone with "relationships" started showing their voices. Because of this incident, the leader's personal phone was almost blown up, and in the end he could only choose the person with the worst relationship as the manager of the new department.
Xiao Zhang, there is a good opportunity, not only missed this opportunity because of his big mouth, but also considered by the leaders as a person who cannot hide his words, he is no longer reused.
Bottom line: These five topics are absolutely no place for people in the workplace to talk about, each of which is taboo and can have serious consequences. Everyone has to be vigilant because there are more opportunities for the tight-lipped.
