Have you heard of " wet monkey theory "?
said that there was such an experiment:
put five monkeys in a cage. There was a ladder in the cage, and there were bunches of bananas on the ladder.
Whenever a monkey tries to take a banana, a mechanism will be triggered to pour cold water on all the monkeys.
After a while, the monkeys became honest.
At this time, the experimenter put in a new monkey to replace the previous monkey.
An intriguing scene happened at this time:
The new monkey was just about to take the banana when he was beaten up by the other four monkeys.
Then, the experimenters began to replace the old monkeys with new monkeys one by one. However, every time a new monkey tried to get a banana, it was severely beaten by other monkeys - including monkeys that had not been splashed with cold water.
Finally, when all five old monkeys were replaced with new monkeys, a miracle happened.
None of the five new monkeys have been exposed to water, but they do not touch the banana.
This is the so-called "wet monkey theory".
The process of the monkeys being poured cold water on is actually the process of being "tamed".
This process is often accompanied by self-"assimilation" among monkeys. And this "assimilation" undoubtedly intensifies the speed of collective "domestication".
In the workplace, there are countless such examples.
From the perspective of managers, the "workplace atrocities" they impose are like pouring cold water on monkeys, in order to make employees obedient.
Once he develops a "tamed" heart, he will inevitably move towards tyranny.
is no longer willing to abide by the contract negotiated and signed by equals, but instead finds ways to make everyone listen to his own driving.
enjoys the pleasure of the superior "abusing" others with peace of mind.
The really scary thing about "domestication" is that
employees will go from being unbearable at the beginning to becoming accustomed to it...
until they no longer have the determination to resist.
This falls into a "two-way" infinite loop:
"violent" managers will not reflect on themselves when they see employees showing no resistance.
will continue to get worse.
Today you can accept slapping yourself, tomorrow you can accept drinking toilet water.
The bottom line is constantly refreshed.
In the end, I was kneeling and may never stand up again.
A hair salon in Chengdu.
A group of men and women were lying on the edge of the pool, sticking out their tongues and licking the tiles.
Such skillful gestures and selfless actions.
makes people feel both physical and psychological discomfort.
This is a video that went viral on the Internet.
According to the whistleblower, these people are all hair salon employees.
was punished for licking the tiles not because he made any big mistake, but because he failed to complete the performance.
The scary thing is, this isn't the first time.
employees are often punished by "licking the floor" and "doing tablet support ".
There are many ways to humiliate people, but they chose one that I couldn't even imagine.
Relevant departments have been involved in the investigation.
I don’t know whether legal deterrence is effective.
However, the endless emergence of "workplace atrocities" is indeed refreshing our outlook time and time again.
The above-mentioned "workplace atrocities" are an extreme example of workplace bullying.
refers specifically to certain companies that wear the guise of "corporate culture" and "performance management" and carry out "humiliating" punishments to employees under the guise of "stimulating the best" and "growing for employees."
This kind of behavior not only harms the employees' bodies, but also destroys their human dignity.
has even become a serious social problem.
At noon on August 31, 2020, Changsha Huahai 3C Plaza.
There were five men running naked in the street.
Looking from behind, these people were naked and running all the way.
Looking from the front, the key parts are just covered with a piece of cloth.
wasn’t even wearing any shorts.
You must know that "streaking" is illegal and is suspected of disturbing public order.
did not run for long before he was forcibly stopped by the security guard.
The security guard asked, why are you running around without clothes?
The answers of the naked men are heartbreaking,
"We are employees of XX company."
"The performance was not completed, and the company punished streaking."
There are also many companies that promote "wolf culture."
The nature of wolf is: wild, cruel, greedy and violent, all of which are called "ruthless".
Characteristics of wolf spirit: keen sense of smell, indomitable enterprising spirit, and teamwork spirit.
However, companies are misinterpreting the so-called wolf culture. The employees they cultivate have no wolf nature, only servility.
But this is not surprising, because this so-called "wolf nature" is no different from "slavishness" in the eyes of business leaders.
They slapped each other and knelt down to express gratitude. The scene was grand and made people urinate.
The boss just wants to cultivate obedient employees through "insults". As for whether he is a wolf or not, it doesn't matter.
United States WBI (the WorkplaceBullying A survey conducted by the Institute found that: 120% of people have experienced workplace bullying, and 7% are currently experiencing workplace bullying;
For victims of workplace bullying, the first step is to realize that they are being bullied in the workplace. It is not your fault and do not be manipulated by workplace gaslighting.
After being bullied, the victim can easily fall into an endless cycle of self-blame-fear of making mistakes-really making mistakes-fear of making mistakes-defeating self-confidence.
So how to get out of the infinite loop?
① Try practicing positive self-talk.
② Ignore those critical and derogatory voices.
③ Set aside time for meditation.
④Continuously improve your abilities.
If you have tried all the ways to change the situation of being bullied, but to no avail, then don't hesitate, don't wrong yourself, and leave in time, this is the best choice.
You may be hesitant and worried, but when you turn around and leave, you will feel: Finally free
