OFFICE同事相处新法则

我们成长时常听到:现代生活物质的丰富与信仰的缺乏,更多的生存压力和精神负累,职场的莫测与险恶,以及人与人之间利益争夺的无情,还未曾步入OFFICE小社会的我们,预知了现代人生的辛苦与悲壮。

进去后,我们在自信与不安中体会并谛造着新型的人际关系,这让我们感觉到人与人之间有限度的美好,在媒体、IT与各色外企等聚集了高素质青年人才地方,同事之间最关心的是在工作上如何通过最佳合作达到资源的最佳组合,在生活上也追求一种互动互利的良性关系,一种健康有度的同事关系。

置身其中,对这种新型同事关系就要有更多的了解,才能与他们和谐相处,享受这种相处法则所带来的好处和乐趣。

聪明的OFFICE白领个案

周女士杂志编辑

我是个个性张扬的人,喜欢打破常规,这让我在采访中往往能取得意外收获,但在与同事的相处中,我还是比较谨慎。

着装不要太突出。也许是我所在的杂志社女性比较多的原因,我觉得如果是一个新人,首先就要注意着装,太土气当然让人看轻你的审美力,但太突出、太抢眼也不好,不是说别人会嫉妒,而是明显与他人形成差别,不利于顺利地为新群体接纳,我的意见是,开始穿得适中点,不要太突出个性。

主动沟通,冷静自制。新人刚进入一个群体时,感觉隔膜并不是新鲜事,这时不要气馁,要主动沟通,让大家尽快认识到你的个人特征,但要注意度的把握,把自己放低些,有时,办公室内的交往就像在做秀,能不能交到好朋友就看沟通的结果。类似的价值观、生活品位,应该在同事中找到一、两个好朋友,能平衡心理、发泄真情绪的,平常在办公室时应当冷静自制,有时得做得像精致的应酬。

经济上,双向互利。同事私下的交往有个渐进的过程,开始时我赞成AA制,这样双方都没负担,以后,如果真有交情了,我想,经济能力好些的应该负担得多一些。

和平竞争,公平第一。我觉得工作可以和私交分开,同事之间,透明竞争是良性的,比如选题,好与不好有目共睹,是一时想法的问题,应该不会涉及个人,而对于很多需要协作的行业来说,透明竞争就更重要了,喜欢搬弄是非、玩阴损招的同事是让人讨厌的,这种人也越来越少了。你的老板看中的是个体的才能和团队协作精神,同事时常一起加班研讨,长时间共处,往往成为好朋友,这与传统的人际完全不同,所以不要抱着同行是冤家的观念,心地坦然地做事。
