After a mainland woman came to work in Hong Kong, she revealed the dark side of the workplace. A Hong Kong colleague’s behavior frightened her: Stop socializing in vain
It takes a long time for Hong Kong people to return to work. After entering the workplace, they basically spend more time with colleagues than with people at home. Therefore, it is indeed very important to have a group of good colleagues who share the same goals. However, from time to time, we hear of people who have made themselves very miserable due to personnel relationships in the workplace, which can seriously affect their work performance. Earlier, a girl who came to work in Hong Kong from the Mainland posted a post on a social platform, pointing out that it was difficult for her to integrate into her Hong Kong colleagues. Not only was she completely unable to talk to each other when having dinner together, but she was also frightened by a vicious behavior of a Hong Kong colleague. He was afraid and threatened that it would be very stressful to deal with them. Some netizens disagreed with her views and even asked her, “Why do you want to be friends with your colleagues?”

A mainland woman who has been working in Hong Kong for several months cannot talk to her colleagues at all.
If you encounter bad people and things in the workplace, it will definitely affect your mood and performance at work. Earlier, a girl who came to work in Hong Kong from the Mainland posted an article on Xiaohongshu, pointing out that “there is really no way to become friends with Hong Kong colleagues.” She said that she had been working in Hong Kong for a few months and had dined several times with her colleagues in Hong Kong. However, she was “completely unable to get a word in” every time, which made her feel very embarrassed and helpless.

In addition to being unable to communicate well with her colleagues in Hong Kong, she also listed the terrible behavior of one of her colleagues, pointing out that she “often heard them criticizing other people’s words and deeds”, and because she had just started working and did not recognize all her colleagues, she often “I don’t know who I’m talking about.” The criticisms from her colleagues “were all about relatively minor things”, such as “some people didn’t take out the trash”, “asked too many questions at work”, and “didn’t change the toilet paper after using the toilet”, which made her feel a lot of pressure. , pointed out that in fact, he only wanted to “maintain a good colleague relationship” with them, but after learning that they would often talk about right and wrong, he was deeply afraid that “I don’t know when I will step on their line, and I will wonder if I will not be there when I am not around.” I am the one who can speak.”

Seeing Hong Kong people as useless, social media netizens disagreed and denounced them: What should I do to make friends with my colleagues?
The victim admitted that these things made her very worried. She also said that she thought it was because of the age gap that there were no topics to talk about. Unexpectedly, she found out that it was due to cultural differences. Therefore, she “often couldn’t keep up with their speaking and thinking” and “thought it would be better to listen more and talk less.” , but found that “most of what I heard was gossip”, so now I would rather eat alone and “stop this useless social interaction.” Her experience attracted a large number of netizens to leave messages. However, many netizens did not agree with her point of view. They pointed out that “there are many colleagues in such companies in the mainland. It seems unnecessary to label them as Hong Kong. It is not a regional issue.” Some netizens believed that “the integration is not possible” If you don’t get along, just let it take its own course and do your job well.” She even asked her, “Why do colleagues have to be friends? I’m surrounded by people who can have a good chat during work hours and don’t disturb each other after work hours.”
