Know how to limit words and keep a safe distance
The story of being absent-minded in office often begins with seemingly harmless stories. Sharing too many private lives, marital affairs, money, personal relationships can easily become a fuel for speculation. According to Dr. Nora Feldman, a psychologist at Stanford University (USA), "the more employees disclose private information, the more likely they are to be the subject of uncontrolled chats".
She recommended keeping the "3 no's" principle: not telling personal stories, not commenting on other people's stories, and not participating in group chats. This is not distance but a way to protect yourself, especially for those who have to take care of their work and their family.
Maintaining a concise and clear attitude in communication also helps limit misunderstandings. Responding to work correctly, without being wonky, not allowing emotions to interfere with words, that is a way to avoid being dragged into controversy.
Focus on expertise, don't let emotions lead you
She is unusual in finding people who are easily reactionary and easily dragged into negative emotions. The best way to stay out of trouble is to focus on work, maintain a stable capacity and outcome, says Dr. Feldman. Professionalness makes it difficult for you to be attacked".
Workers with families need to stay alert at work to avoid bringing negative energy home. When faced with rumors or bad words, it is best not to react immediately. Record the information, check it with superiors or the personnel department, that is a civilized way to solve the problem instead of fierce confrontation.
In addition, building a consistent image also helps you stay away from trouble. Go to work on time, complete tasks, communicate politely, small things but create effective shields.
Adults spend most of their time in the office, so social evils not only affect work but also spread to family life. When you know how to keep limits, stay positive and keep a cold head, each person will maintain peace for themselves and those waiting at home.
