To get along well in the workplace, emotional intelligence is definitely indispensable, not only in getting along with leaders, but also in getting along with colleagues. In this, there are many details that need to be paid attention to, otherwise you may cause trouble for yourself. Especially when dealing with colleagues, you need to be careful to avoid being pitted by colleagues.
On Friday, Xiaofang received a message from her colleague Sister Liu, saying that she wanted to invite the leader to dinner at night, but she felt that it would not be good for the two of them to spread out, so she wanted to ask Xiaofang for help and go out to have a chat together.
Xiaofang didn't think much about it at the time, and she usually had a good relationship with Sister Liu. Thinking that she could help, she would try her best to help, so she agreed. To this end, Xiaofang also deliberately read some precautions at the dinner party, for fear that she would do wrong things when eating.
After get off work, when the two arrived at the restaurant, the leader was already seated at the dining table. Sister Liu and Xiaofang greeted the leader and took their seats.
When ordering, Sister Liu picked up the menu on the table and handed it to the leader, expressing that the leader could order whatever they want. After the leader finished ordering, Sister Liu added two more dishes. By the way, she asked Xiaofang if she wanted to add more dishes, but before Xiaofang could answer, she handed the menu to the waiter.
Xiaofang felt a little uncomfortable about Sister Liu's actions, but she endured it in the presence of the leader. And this time it was also a treat for Sister Liu, so if she didn't order food, she wouldn't order.
After the whole dinner, Xiaofang sat on the side like a transparent person, watching Sister Liu and the leader chatting and laughing, the scene was very lively. However, just as the leader was going out to the toilet, Sister Liu suddenly said to Xiaofang, "Xiaofang, I forgot to bring my wallet when I went out today. Please help pay for the meal at night, and I will transfer it to you tomorrow, no problem. ?"
After listening to this sentence, Xiaofang obviously felt that something was wrong. Obviously, Sister Liu asked herself to come here to pit herself and make herself a fool. However, Xiaofang has been in the workplace for so long, and she has seen many big scenes, so she will not be succeeded by Sister Liu.
Xiaofang smiled and nodded, and said to Sister Liu, "No problem, I just don't know if I have enough money. You wait here, I'll go to the front desk to check the bill."
Saying that, Xiaofang went out, and within a few minutes Xiaofang came back with the bill. At this time, the leader also came back. Seeing this, Xiaofang replied to Sister Liu: "Sister Liu, thank you for this big meal. It cost you a total of 1,200. After all, it is to invite the leader to dinner. If you don't have so much money, you can I can't express my sincerity. You just said that you forgot to bring money, this time I will pay you in advance, remember to transfer it to me tomorrow, the leader has to testify!"
At this moment, Sister Liu blushed. Seeing Xiaofang's move to check out, she hurriedly said, "Xiaofang, you just heard it wrong. Sister Liu said she was going to treat a guest, so why didn't she bring money? Give me the bill. I'll do it." After speaking, Sister Liu took the bill and went to the bill obediently, and she never invited Xiaofang to dinner after that.
From this story, the following two points can be seen.
- Coworkers should have principles
It is also necessary to have principles in getting along with colleagues. Even if the relationship is good, some things need to be made clear. Xiaofang and Sister Liu in the story have such problems in getting along with each other.
Sister Liu was thinking of making Xiaofang a fool, and paying for this meal will undoubtedly harm Xiaofang's interests and destroy the principle of getting along with colleagues. It is because of this that Xiaofang will try to find a way to turn her back and not let herself suffer. After all, brothers and sisters are still accountable, and colleagues naturally need to have principles.
- Respect each other among colleagues
This is also evident in the story. Xiaofang regards Liu Jie as her friend, but Liu Jie only wants Xiaofang to be taken advantage of and takes advantage of her, completely disrespecting Xiaofang.
This approach is very disrespectful to Xiaofang. If Sister Liu had made it clear in advance, maybe Xiaofang could still accept it, but when the dinner was about to end, Xiaofang was suddenly asked to pay, and it was hard not to let people think about it, let alone accept it. Colleagues need to be respected, and it is difficult to maintain a relationship with one-sided efforts.
