Why do newcomers in the workplace work hard but are laughed at by old employees?

In the workplace, we often encounter a phenomenon, that is, newcomers in the workplace work hard and are strict with themselves, but they will be laughed at by old employees. The reasons behind this phenomenon are very complicated. Let me analyze it from several angles.

First of all, it may be the self-protection mechanism of old employees. For old employees, they have worked in the company for a long time and have mastered a lot of experience and skills, so they often feel that they know more about the company culture and hidden rules than new employees. The skills and experience of new employees are much worse than theirs, and they will think that this "performance" of new employees will affect the overall image of the company, which will lead to ridicule.

Secondly, the mentality difference between new and old employees is also a reason. New employees have just joined the company, lacking experience and self-confidence, so they will be more strict with themselves and try their best to show themselves. Old employees have been working in the company for a long time, and have become accustomed to this environment and rhythm, and have a place in the team and have certain confidence in their performance. When new employees perform too well, old employees may feel threatened, so their mentality is different.

Third, the company culture and management system have certain responsibilities. If the company's management system is not strict enough, and employees' performance is not effectively encouraged and rewarded, there may be an idea of "no need to work hard", which will put those hard-working new employees at a disadvantage and be ridiculed and vilified. Of course, this does not mean that the performance of new employees should not be respected and encouraged, but that under unreasonable system, the performance of new employees may be misunderstood.

Finally, managers should also bear certain responsibilities. For managers, it is necessary to formulate a fairer and more just incentive system as far as possible, so that outstanding employees can get their due rewards and guide employees at different levels in the company to form a more equal and respectful atmosphere.

In short, in the workplace, new employees should work hard, hone their abilities and improve their competitiveness, but at the same time, they should also pay attention to the existence of this phenomenon, maintain a psychological balance, and let their performance and value be recognized and rewarded.
