They say that the more adequately a person reacts to his defeats, the easier it is to judge his character. But it's one thing to speak, and another, when you need to withstand all the problems and not fall in the eyes of the authorities. Of course, the simplest advice is: "Learn the correct reaction to trouble!" And it can be different, because we are all living people.
But still, I want you to have a few recommendations in stock, and then you will respond to the difficulties of office life in the best way. Not a single large or small team can do without criticizing someone. And you were clearly not spared. To begin with, we are silent, think and listen to everything that the uninvited interlocutor will tell you. It is worth dividing his words into two categories - fair remarks and purely subjective quibbles. And also try to understand what you analyzed - the critic is in a bad mood or you urgently need to correct mistakes and not repeat them again.
To keep your personal peace of mind, start counting in your head. If that's enough, then up to ten, but no - even up to a thousand. The main thing is not to get into a rage. With fair criticism, do not try to make excuses and look for a "switchman" in the form of one of the employees. It is better to admit with dignity that this time the work was done at a lower level, but this will not happen again. The one who does nothing except playing solitaire is not mistaken.
Even if you made a mistake in your work, then accept it as your own teaching aid, and the most intelligible one. And the world will remain in the same place and will not collapse. How to proceed? If your mistake did not seriously harm the finances of the company or its image, and remained unnoticed by anyone, then quickly correct your mistake, be proud of your efficiency and keep quiet. If the error is really serious, then do not wait for preliminary "advertising", but go to the authorities not only with this sad news, but also with a plan on how to get out of such a situation with minimal losses.
Getting a promotion, a raise or a new project is every employee's dream, but for some reason it comes true for others and not for you. Look at everyone with a “bukoy” and think that everyone around you will be at home, in the kitchen, crying to your friend. Now you need to weigh all the details and understand why "this Igor Petrovich" is better than you. It is necessary to do everything possible so that in the future, hopefully not too distant, the choice of the authorities fell on you. To do this, do not even try to do nasty things to disrupt the work of a competitor.
Lose now with dignity and correct your mistakes. It can be stable delays not only for work, but also for important meetings, and rude attitude towards clients, and even banal ignorance of the entire price list by heart.
"You're fired!" - it sounds like a shot in the silence of a sunny morning. But think about the fact that this is not the loss of your whole life, but the acquisition of something new: work, experience, new colleagues and adequate bosses. What to do? Actively look for a new job and cut your costs. Do not dismiss your old colleagues, but rather arrange a cute farewell party with the obligatory exchange of phone numbers. What if you need something?
