Workplace politics is a natural phenomenon in which human beings compete for power and status in a group of members.

Such behaviour is undisputable, especially when people gain status through their impeccable character and ability.

However, when people try to climb the summit by taking shortcuts, such workplace politics is poisonous.

In this case, compared with the essence of power, people tend to be more inclined to the surface of power.

As a person.

Status is derived from the appearance of power (such as exaggerated superiority) rather than real power (its characteristics are real, legitimate moral authority and sense of existence), often accompanied by a lack of firm status.

Such people are afraid to show themselves and hide their true identity and purpose as much as possible.

When emotional, immature and unsympathetic individuals choose to achieve their personal goals regardless of their influence on others and the company's future, there will often be some discordant things.

In some extreme cases, such people will think that giving will deprive them of their basic resources, so they will take every means to take away everything that they can take away from others, just as if the existence of the whole world is to serve them, and you are the last thing they can exploit in their eyes.

The best way to deal with such abnormal people is to always know who you are dealing with.

To deal with all kinds of people, you should also use different strategies to prevent them from poisoning your life.

Selfish individuals who only know self interest are easy to let you.

Work life

Become painful.

But without those companies behind the scenes, they will soon be quickly and naturally eliminated from the workplace.

Soft violence. The cost of force is still very high. A healthy workplace will not tolerate the harmful effects of these damages for a long time.

The first category usually reduces the number of stakeholders to the minimum. Generally speaking, only shareholders and board of directors.

This money driven company is particularly vulnerable to market influences, such as the boom and bust of the market.

Typical industries include mining, construction and high-risk finance.

Employees who work in such companies tend to bear enormous pressure from deadlines.

They are characterized by tremendous work pressure, competitiveness and tight budgets.

In order to achieve maximum profits, these companies will be able to reduce costs at all costs by outsourcing their jobs to cheap labor abroad or even layoffs.

The second category is those highly rule-based or

bureaucracy

Serious organization.

Usually, they are basically government institutions like education, health care, defense and justice.

They can even say that "toxicity" is even greater.

Employees who work in these institutions are often confused by the illusion that they will be protected, and in fact, they will eventually be betrayed.

Compared with the protection of employees' physical and mental health, these bureaucratic institutions are more focused on completing annual targets.

As a result, they will use some euphemistic language to reduce the soft violence. While the force takes place, they also require employees to take the responsibility of half of their "soft violence."

Those investigations of workplace violence are often disorganized, biased, and conducted in private.

These two types of soft and violent companies have high staff turnover and absenteeism, low morale and unsatisfactory employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction.

There are many media outlets for such companies.

Be careful of these "land mines". And when you receive the next job interview, you might as well ask yourself: is this company worth having such an employee like me?

  

Self doubt

Perhaps the most difficult obstacle to overcome, and will let you trapped in such an abnormal working environment.

When you experience soft power for the first time, your original idea may be to ignore it or think it's just your own imagination.

At first you might think that the perpetrator is innocent - maybe he is under great pressure, or he has had a bad day.

Then, after a while, you may feel remorse for feeling that these soft and violent actions are caused by your words or actions.

A little longer, you will begin to doubt yourself.

Is your own self requirement low? Or, as you have always suspected, are you not good enough? No value? Not smart enough?

Usually, the targets of these perpetrators are those who are good and normal, often women.

These victims are empathy and love society. They often blame themselves for not doing enough for others.

They have higher personal standards and have strong desire to help, heal, educate, develop and cultivate others.

They are strong, able, independent, intelligent, and agreeable, and possess high academic qualifications.

On average, these victims can tolerate soft storms for up to 23 months or more. They often act without complaints, so their adaptability is strong.

When self doubt in a workplace is caused by force, the self criticizing of a person who lives in front of himself (for example, a voice deep in his heart keeps nagging his own shortcomings and erroneous behaviors in his ears), these soft bursts and force behaviors have already caused the most serious damage.

In such a toxic working environment, such inner self criticism will continue to enlarge.

When it comes to a certain degree, depression will be the inevitable result.
