The boss sent an ambiguous message by mistake. How to reply?

I really met this wonderful "accident": once, our team won a big order and the boss invited us to dinner. I drank too much that night and went home to sleep. In the middle of the night, I received the boss's WeChat "Mei, are you home? It was really cool just now. " I know that my boss sent Xiaomei's ambiguous WeChat to my mobile phone by mistake. My head is buzzing. Awkward. How should I reply?

I quickly searched the internet for answers, and there are roughly several answers. One is to pretend not to see it, not to reply, and there is no way to reply. The second is to reply to the boss and remind the boss that WeChat sent the wrong person. As long as you are not embarrassed, the boss is embarrassed. The third is to reply to the boss and pretend to be confused. Boss, I just got a bunch of gibberish. what can I do for you? The fourth is to send screenshots to the boss immediately, boss. Should I get a raise?

I am not satisfied with these answers. I replied like this, "Boss, I drank too much tonight and fell asleep just now. Now I find that your WeChat is wrong. Thanks to the boss's concern for our subordinates, I am also home. Our dinner just now was really cool, and I learned a lot, especially the boss's negotiation skills. " The boss replied to me quickly: "I'm glad you got home safely." You will be happy if you sign such a big bill. Thank you to all employees. "

When the leader sends you the wrong WeChat and pretends to be invisible, the leader is still anxious; You remind the leader that he made a mistake and how embarrassed the leader is; Screenshot sent to the leader, joking to ask for a raise, a bit threatening. The key to solve this problem is how to eliminate the concerns of leaders. I answered this way by shifting the meaning, that is, shifting the leader's original intention to other meanings, so that the leader can think that I understand it this way, which can effectively eliminate his concerns.

To sum up, how to deal with such problems, we should pay attention to three strategies:

First, judge whether the leader really made a mistake.

Some bosses misbehave and deliberately send out the wrong information to tease their subordinates. If you are a man, the basic judgment is that the leader is really wrong. If you are a lady, the boss may test you. Therefore, if the boss teases you and hints at you, you must resolutely stop it and don't let him associate with it. You have to reply, boss. You sent the wrong message. It is not good for you to do so. Don't send me this kind of information again. It's not good for my boyfriend to see it. Clean, put an end to this kind of thing happening again.

Second, judge the personality of the leader.

If the ambiguous information sent by the boss to his subordinates is within the normal range, for example, the boss is pursuing Xiaomei and sends the wrong WeChat, then there is nothing wrong. You can reply to the boss and remind him to send the wrong message. But some bosses have bad personal morality and often harass their subordinates. You must be careful of such a boss. You don't have to reply, but be cautious. Such a boss should be vigilant. If you have a chance to quit, forget it. There is no future to follow such a boss.

Third, the screenshots retain evidence.

The leader sent you an ambiguous mistake. He knows that you have arrested him, and he may want to punish you in the future, or try to get rid of you. Walking in the workplace, human nature is complex, so you must be prepared. Leave this screenshot of WeChat for later use. If the leader dares to bully you and give you a hard time, then this is the evidence of your complaint. At the critical moment, you can report to it with screenshots to prove why the leaders suppressed you and strive for a favorable situation for you.
