Reject PUA in the workplace

Reject PUA and don't let your labor become a means of control by others.

The essence of PUA in the workplace is a kind of "bullying", which not only attacks a person's sense of existence from the spiritual level, but also criticizes, uncooperative and maliciously destroys the actual work; Being in such a high-pressure state for a long time will make us unconsciously doubt ourselves at work and feel painful, but we can't get away.

For example:

"You are too bad to do anything well." ;

"Young people should not always think about taking, and ungrateful people will be abandoned sooner or later";

"Leave here, you are nothing";

"It's not how great you are working here, but how lucky you are to value your potential";

"I let you work overtime because I value you and exercise you. Young people should suffer more ";

Any company that belittles the free value of employees and advocates that work is the only meaning is playing hooliganism; Such a company can generally draw cakes without talking about money, and can give less and make more holes.

And you, as far away as you want.

PUA in the workplace is a means for managers to control their subordinates. By constantly suppressing employees' self-confidence, personal attacks, forcibly instilling wrong values, and creating anxiety and other negative emotions, employees feel that they have achieved nothing and cannot find a better job in their existing posts.

1. Affirm the value of self.

The boss is not the only criterion to judge your ability and value; They also have no right to deny your life. We should keep a clear sense of self. No one is perfect. When mistakes appear, we will correct them instead of completely denying ourselves.

2. Refuse to be labeled.

Everyone is a polyhedron, so don't let labels kill our potential and more possibilities; Everyone has a unique value, don't live to be what others think of you.

3. Broaden workplace socialization and increase information contact.

One of the groups that are easy to become PUA is people with a single social environment. The single channel we receive information, the easier it is to be confused and controlled. Expand your social circle in the workplace and find leaders, colleagues or friends who you trust and have the same interests as you; When there are more opinions and more comprehensive information, the more you can distinguish right from wrong and judge whether the other party's words are reasonable.

Don't think alone, learn to help yourself out of the cage of thinking with the help of people around you.

4. Courage and timely stop loss.

If you find yourself in a low-pressure workplace environment for a long time, being suppressed and doubted, and your body and mood are affected, you must stop this self-consumption. Stay away from people and environments that make you uncomfortable. Leaving is the simplest and most effective counterattack. Don't give your life to anyone easily.
