Confrontation in the workplace
to record a small thing in the workplace.
Although it is a small thing, it is like a drop of water, which can also refract the sun.
I'm in place A. I am in the same position and in charge of a colleague in a different province in place B. She is an older sister than me. People are also quite old and spicy. People who can grow old in the workplace are not simple people.
This eldest sister had a single document yesterday, and she needed to issue an invoice from the finance department in place A and send it to the staff of other companies in place C.
So the eldest sister must have asked me to help send it. Because we will all have similar information to send to C place.
I also have a lot of information that I need to send to C with the help of my colleagues in B.
These things are normal.
But the only thing that is not normal is each other's attitudes.
Every time I have information to send to a colleague in place B, I never rush or dare to rush. It's already a hassle to ask someone else to send it, and it's really embarrassing to have to add all kinds of additional conditions. It is also the so-called trusting people without doubt. Usually colleagues in place B can also help send it quickly, and there will be few mistakes.
And because it's going to be a three-day holiday for Qingming soon. I have some information on hand, including important documents such as certificates, but because I am worried that I will have a small holiday, the express may be lost due to the accumulation of logistics, so I plan to mail it after the holiday. There have been cases of lost parcels before. The chances of such a thing happening are very small, but if it does, it is very troublesome. It will also delay more time because of supplementary information.
But the eldest sister asked me to send it immediately. Despite my explanation, she insisted on it. and said that she had been dragging on this order for a long time. If you need to send it, process it as soon as possible. I found out that she had 3.24 in hand, which is not a long time. It's been less than a week.
Because we work in the same position, I know her workflow so well that we can swap it.
In view of her request, and after explaining that it still didn't make sense, I finally sent the information out. And sent the courier information by email, with a copy to the eldest sister.
Early this morning. The eldest sister called me. Said very affectionately: Honey, if you receive the courier message, notify someone in place C. She'll go get the delivery. Lest you worry about losing your contract for a long vacation.
I felt very uncomfortable after reading it.
I'm not in a hurry with my contract information. So I was hoping to send it after the vacation to avoid logistics problems. It was she who was in a hurry.
The courier number was also copied to her, if she was in a hurry, she could check the courier by herself, track and deal with it.
Why bother turning a corner and letting me follow? And still under the banner of caring about me?
I felt like I was lifting a stone to hit my feet, and asked me with special concern, do you hurt?
I didn't know how to reply to her for a moment. After thinking about it, she replied: Sister, the courier has been sent, and the recipient will naturally be notified when it arrives. If I lose my files, there's no way to do it. I can only resign myself to fate.
Yes, if you lose it, it has nothing to do with this eldest sister. She might even say, "Why didn't you stick to your own opinion at the time?"
After a while, I thought, why do you want to fake it like this? It's better to pierce it directly. It's obvious that she's in a hurry, so tell her bluntly and let her track it herself.
So I replied again, sister, are you anxious about your invoice? If there is a tracking number in the email, you can go directly to check whether you have received it.
After sending this sentence. I let out a long breath. It's a little more refreshing.
Really, sometimes, it's not necessary to talk to such secretive people through the curtain.
I feel that this eldest sister is a little weird. It seems that everyone in this world is stupid. She's the only one smart.
I think of a saying, you can be 80 percent good, but keep 20 percent edge. This is the 28th law of interpersonal communication.
