The guy was reminded by his colleagues for not buying a debut gift on the first day of work
After being admitted, we are both excited but equally worried about how to have a successful first day at work. Because whether you have a lot of experience, are an experienced person or a fresh graduate, there is still a feeling of surprise.
In particular, whether or not to buy gifts to launch the agency is always a controversial story.
Recently, at a forum dedicated to working people, an article was posted about a guy who immediately met a “bitter fruit” in the job reception from a very familiar action that everyone has experienced.
Accordingly, NHS (born 1990) has just been recruited into a large telecommunications company in Vietnam, specializing in the field of information technology.
Being reminded by colleagues for not buying presents to introduce to the office
On the first day of receiving the job, although he was very nervous, S. still quickly greeted each person in the same department. It seemed that everything would go smoothly, but at the end of the day, a colleague sitting next to S. leaned in and whispered: “You don’t buy gifts, but you also don’t invite everyone to coffee. The new staff doesn’t mean anything?”.
I’m both shy and don’t know what to say so I don’t get offended. Because there is not much money left in S.’s wallet, if you invite the brothers’ coffee and milk tea to the sisters, at the end of the month, you will have to borrow money to live through the day. On the contrary, when being prompted by name, if not invited, it is considered to be in the “black book” of colleagues.
Smiling shyly S. replied: “Yes, I came up from the countryside in a hurry, so I plan to buy gifts tomorrow to invite everyone. I sympathize”.
Hearing that, the new colleague became friendly again: “Yes, I said that to be good for you. Big or small gifts don’t matter, the main thing is that the office culture has always been like that. I just follow everyone’s heart”.
S. even though I’m sorry, but the next day I still have to follow the advice of my senior, try to choose a shop that has a promotion to buy cheap stuff and then bring it to the office to invite everyone.
Immediately after this story was shared on social networks, it received many mixed opinions from netizens. Besides the opinion that people should buy food such as fruit, candy or drink to invite people on the first day of work, many people completely reject it. They think that new employees are inherently unemployed and unpaid, they may invite everyone to the first pay period or not. At work, work is the first thing, not to flatter colleagues.
So what should you do?
What should I bring on the first day of work?
Many people often think that on the first day, it is necessary to bring food or invite the whole room to eat, but in fact, the culture is not the same everywhere. Moreover, you still don’t know how the departments are allocated, how many people there are…
Remember, work is still first, not formalities. Over time, when you get used to and stick with the work, you can invite people to lunch, coffee and chat, thereby building deeper relationships with each other.
Impress your colleagues on the first day of work
Listen and observe your surroundings
On the first day of work, observe and listen carefully before making any suggestions. You will learn how to learn and adapt to the environment you are in. At the same time, get to know more about the colleagues you will be working with.
Beware of troubles in the office
You may not believe it, but in every office there are troublemakers, you can kind of see people who are sarcastic, sarcastic, smiling on the surface but actually not really well-intentioned. Troublemakers are people who like to create disagreements and then pretend to know nothing about it. You can listen to what they say, but do not listen or discuss anything, it may just be exaggerated stories.
Pay attention to your own behavior
People may not remember a good impression of your polite behavior, but they will certainly remember your rude behavior, so you need to be very careful to preserve your image. body in the office. Just a laugh at the wrong time. a loud resounding scream, … can also make you receive aversion from everyone.
Don’t be a gossip
You may hear rumors about people in the office, but never give personal opinions to contribute to that story or chat with others. Because everything is untested, especially you don’t know, how behind your back they will turn every word you commented into a bad story.
Trying to impress everyone
The first day of probation is also the day you start working. So don’t be “stupid”, unfamiliar with the work and office environment, even less should think that your first task is to wait for the trainer.
Everything you should be proactive to show your maturity and impress everyone. Do not rely on the excuse of “newcomers, new graduates” to stay because no one is responsible for our newness.
