Recently I have been answering some questions about the workplace on Zhihu.
A few days ago, I saw this question: My leader replied "Thank you" on WeChat. Do I still need to continue to reply? Is it rude not to reply?
When I saw this question, I suddenly thought of the screenshot of the chat that was circulated on the Internet when Dong Yuhui became popular last year, in which he replied to Yu Minhong. The content was related to this question.
Let’s take a look at how Dong Yuhui demonstrates with us.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at the chat content:
Many people feel that the leader said: Thank you for your hard work. And you replied: It’s not hard, is it too easy?
Compared with Dong Yuhui's reply, it is indeed too simple.
Many people praised Dong Yuhui for his good reply. What are the points?
1. Dong Yuhui expressed his gratitude to the leaders for their concern. Said: Thank you Teacher Yu for your concern. Being capable is a blessing. Look at this flattery.
No one said: It’s not hard work. It says that being able is a blessing, which means: I do have a hard time, but I enjoy it. Let your leaders see your sense of responsibility and initiative.
2. Demonstrate one’s performance
Is competence a blessing? What can I do? Show the dazzling data to your leaders to see how outstanding our capabilities and performance are. Therefore, when Dong Yuhui said this sentence "without shame", it was not only a way to show his performance, but also a kind of confidence in his own heart and an affirmation of his work.
He even said to the leader: Your concern is deserved, but I will not let you down. The main thing is self-confidence.
3. Express respect and admiration for leaders
Look, this passage: "You have worked hard for New Oriental for so many years, especially since last year. As a front-line employee, I see it in my eyes and am moved in my heart."
The brilliance of this sentence is: My achievements are inseparable from the platform of my boss. Without the boss who builds bridges for employees and clears roads for employees, how would I have this opportunity? The train runs fast because of the headband.
After showing off one's own merits, one does not forget to attribute the merits to the boss. This is a kind of wisdom. Otherwise, if you meet a petty boss or leader, they will feel that you will be so successful that they will give you small shoes.
Therefore, Dong Yuhui's words directly affirmed the leader's decision-making and leadership abilities, and at the same time expressed his concern for the leader and his inner feelings.
You can learn from Dong Yuhui's words in reply template.
1. Express gratitude to the leader for his concern; 2. Use data to show that you are indeed working hard and you are willing to do it; 3. Finally, never forget to attribute your efforts and success to your boss.
When the leader tells you it’s not hard, I object to everyone’s reply: It’s not hard. Because, who doesn’t work hard? Why do we say it’s not hard work? It's hard work, but while I'm working hard, I just want to express my gratitude to the leaders for their concern. If you reply that you are not working hard, your boss will think that you are not working hard. Don't deny yourself, we must learn to express ourselves and affirm ourselves in the workplace.
