2023/12/17 How scheming is in the workplace

How powerful are the people who can be officials and leaders in this era?

If you are anonymously sued, and your leader says, "Don't worry, I will definitely find him out and give you an explanation", will you be very moved when you hear this? But I'm telling you, don't be moved too soon, the water is very deep.

During the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ziyi fought against Tubo, and someone from his family told him, "Master, something is wrong, the ancestral grave of the Guo family has been dug up", Guo Ziyi asked, "Did anyone catch it?" The family replied to him, "The government said that it is difficult to check without clues, and his subordinates can't do it." It must have been done by Yu Chaoen, you are working hard in the front, and he is making trouble in the rear, which is simply too lacking in morality. Guo Ziyi heard that his family said it was him, and immediately laughed and said, "You don't understand, this matter will end here, no one is allowed to say it again." ”

Who is this Yu Chaoen? He is a eunuch and a big celebrity next to the emperor, and this guy always has trouble getting along with Guo Ziyi.

Later, Guo Ziyi returned to Beijing to meet the emperor, and he didn't say a word about the fact that the ancestral grave was dug up. The emperor said to him, "Your ancestral grave has been dug up, this incident shocked me, Aiqing rest assured, I have been strictly ordered to catch that villain." But there's no clue at all, so I'm really sorry for you. ”

At this time, what do you guess Guo Ziyi said? He said, "I have led my troops to fight for so many years, and my subordinates have often dug up people's ancestral graves, and now our family's ancestral graves have been dug up, which is that God is condemning me, not that someone did it on purpose." After listening, the emperor's heart was relieved.

Think about it, what does the ancestral grave mean? Even if a eunuch doesn't deal with you anymore, as for going to your house to dig the ancestral grave? The emperor is the only one who is worried about the green smoke coming out of your ancestral grave. He is afraid that your family has a dragon vein, and the emperor suddenly intervened in this matter, if he really wants to investigate, will there be a shortage of judges in his hands to help him find out? Therefore, Guo Ziyi saw at a glance what his leadership thoughts were, so he could only deal with it in a low-key manner.

If he didn't relentlessly entangle with Yu Chaoen about this matter, then the emperor would definitely think that it seems that Guo Ziyi really has a lot of credit, and when his temper grows, he will be so concerned about being dug up his ancestral grave. In the end, the emperor will definitely find a reason to behead Guo Ziyi.

Now, this kind of truth also applies to various workplaces, the leader gives you an anonymous letter, Balabala says you a meal, do you think he trusts you? The leader is beating you, and if you really think that the leader trusts you, then you are too naïve. The leader gave you an anonymous letter, in fact, to let you know that someone is suing you, so that you can restrain yourself.

If you really believe the words of the leader, and think that the leader will help you find out who wrote the anonymous letter, then you are naïve. In the workplace, the words of leaders are sometimes not credible. They may say nice things that make you feel like they care about you, but in reality, they may just be taking advantage of you. They may give you some promises, but in the end they won't deliver on them.

Therefore, in the workplace, we need to keep a clear head and not easily trust other people's words. We need to learn to judge the situation for ourselves and not be taken advantage of by others. At the same time, we also need to learn to protect ourselves and not let ourselves fall victim to others. The water is deep in the workplace, and we need to be vigilant and not easily trust other people's words. Only when you have real strength can you be invincible in the workplace.
