I am here to do things, not to make friends

Author: Huang Huan

Xiao Huang is a management trainee. In the first week, Xiao Huang was assigned to the front desk, and another management trainee, Xiao Li, was also assigned to the front desk. They all worked conscientiously.

After one week, each management trainee must submit a report. The report submitted by Xiao Li is as follows: The work at the front desk made me understand the company better and increased my sense of pride and honor; through this week's work, I learned a lot of etiquette in dealing with others.

And Xiao Huang’s work report is written like this: “Through this week’s work, I found that there are still many shortcomings in the current front desk: First, as a company in As a foreign-funded company established in China, it is inappropriate for us to greet people in English first and then speak in Chinese, because not all customers or downstream suppliers who make complaint calls understand English, so speaking in English at the beginning will give everyone a sense of distance. , it is recommended to speak Chinese first and then English. Secondly, it is also a waste of resources for two people to work at the front desk at the same time. It is very impolite for two people to sit at the front desk and ignore each other, and they give the impression of chatting. Working together can easily lead to unclear responsibilities and mutual blame-shifting. It is recommended that one person be retained at the front desk and the other person be rotated..."

Xiao Li's report was very harmonious and won everyone's support. There was applause, and after Xiao Huang finished his report, everyone fell into collective silence. The head of the customer department felt that his work authority had been challenged and gave Xiao Huang a relatively low test score.

After the first week of rotation, Xiao Huang was assigned to the warehouse. A week later, she submitted another report that triggered collective silence:

First, the warehouse manager often eats melon seeds and then uses salty hands to sort the goods. , which easily leaves stains on the outer packaging.

Secondly, in order to save trouble, the warehouse staff always stack the goods nearby, and when someone comes to pick up the goods, they take it away nearby, while goods with a longer production date are kept in storage for a long time. Bottom or inside. It is recommended that the warehouse be divided into two doors: entry and exit. When entering the warehouse, new products are stacked according to the nearest rule, and exiting from the warehouse is in the opposite direction. In this way, only the products that were entered relatively early are shipped out, ensuring that the products can be stored in the warehouse. Products within the shelf life will be sold first.

After the report was submitted, the warehouse supervisor was criticized. And Xiao Huang couldn't stay in the warehouse any longer.

In the third week, almost no department welcomed Xiao Huang, and she was assigned to the training department. Xiao Huang majored in fashion design at university and was good at fashion painting. After arriving at the training department, she felt that the face pictures in the teaching materials were not beautiful enough, so she used her spare time to redraw all the teaching materials and revised the handouts that she felt were not good enough according to her logic. Now the trouble is big. The supervisor of the training department is a ruthless person with a habit of being conceited. He got the new teaching materials and flew directly from Taiwan to complain to the company about this matter. Xiao Huang, the defendant, made his own opinions and acted on his own without respecting the team and leadership. The supervisor directly said: "If this kind of person stays in the company, he will hurt the team. If she doesn't leave, I will leave!"

Without saying anything, Xiao Huang took out her modified and The previous versions were spread out on the table together, and the management was asked two questions: First, which version is more beautiful? Second, which version is easier to learn? Then, Xiao Huang added: "My salary is only one-tenth of yours. What you should do is not to question why I changed your teaching materials, but to examine why you can't do better?" Finally, this In short, the supervisor was so angry that he resigned on the spot.

So how will Xiao Huang end up in the company? This ruthless character was actually reused by the company. After a three-month probationary period, he was directly promoted to manager in two and a half months. His salary increased tenfold in two years, and he was promoted to the company's top executive in China.

Some people may say that she was lucky. If she had changed units, she might have been eliminated. But the truth is that she changed units many times and was reused many times. She is undoubtedly a ruthless character who drives the overall performance and vitality. Therefore, such a ruthless character may not necessarily be a good character.

Faced with the controversy, she said: "I am here to do things, not to make friends. I am more concerned about whether things are done well."

I am here to do things, not to make friends. Comments after reading:

In today’s workplace, everyone advocates being a person first before doing things. Friendship is important in the workplace, but it must not be tolerated and shielded. So, you might as well be a ruthless person who promotes team improvement!
