Many people understand a truth, that is, there must be no humaneness in the workplace. The company is clear, work is work, and private life is private life, so that we can benefit ourselves from invincibility. However, in the workplace, there will inevitably be some human feelings between colleagues in daily contact. For example, if a colleague has a wedding or funeral, no matter what the relationship is, it is inevitable to join forces.

However, after resigning, what should I do if I receive good news from a colleague? Today, I want to talk about my own experience.

At the beginning of the year, I left the company where I had worked for three years. After I left, I quickly moved into a new job. However, one day last week, I suddenly received a call from my former colleague, Zhou Kaibin. He told me that he was married and started it in his hometown. Now back to Beijing, I would like to invite everyone to drink and celebrate. I instantly felt my head go big.

Zhou Kaibin and I do not belong to the same department. I am in the planning department and he is in the technical department. Usually, there is no direct business relationship. We had two contacts because of work, and then we had two drinks alone. Because there is a common topic of "compatriots", we get together and feel familiar with each other. He got married, informed me, and I can understand.

I understand that when there is a happy event in the company, everyone will follow the party. While this is not a small expense, the money that should be spent must be spent. So, I prepared two thousand dollars and transferred it to him that night. The banquet was scheduled for Saturday night, and I did not attend. I know that most of the participants were colleagues from the original company, so I didn't need to join in the fun and make myself embarrassed. Zhou Kaiguo was angry for a few words, but did not force much.

After the dinner, many colleagues posted photos of the day on the Moments, which was very lively. When I got to Zhou Kaibin's circle of friends, I was stunned. I saw that he posted a form in the circle of friends, which was the gift money received that night, the name, identity, and amount, which were clear. He wrote on it: "Thank you all for your support, I am very content with you."

I read it myself twice and couldn't find my name. Finally, I saw a line of small characters at the bottom of the table: "There are also some friends who are not very familiar with congratulations. I will not list them all. I will express my thanks here." friend". For a moment, I felt a little shocked. What shocked me even more was that in the entire form, most of my colleagues paid 500 yuan as a gift, and the most was his department manager, who paid 1,000 yuan. I thought I was familiar with him, so I gave 2,000 yuan, which is the most. Unexpectedly, I was actually worthless in his heart.

I am so sorry to see this news. Why do I want to join in the fun? Everyone says that there is no human affection in the workplace, and that's exactly what it is. The feelings that I thought were very familiar were just my own wishful thinking. In fact, this one only applies to everyone. In the workplace, there are not so many people to talk about. Between people, simpler, perhaps better.
