Never walk alone in the workplace.

Cao Hang is a famous university international trade major graduate student, after graduation, they into a foreign trade company's business department work.

Every noon after work, everyone goes to the restaurant under the office building to eat. Every employee of the company has a key card. To ensure the safety of the company and personal belongings when everyone goes out for dinner at noon, they can close the door behind them when they go out of the company.

However, every time Cao Hang will forget to close the door, many colleagues reminded her, that she still ignored her, she thought: your things do not pay attention to custody, even if stolen, what matters to me? I'm not your mom!

One day after work at noon, Cao Hang chatted with a college classmate on QQ for a while before going out for lunch. She was the last person to go out at noon in the company. As usual, she walked out of the company in a big way without touching the company door. She is security-conscious and carries a satchel with her phone, purse, and even laptop inside when she goes out.

While everyone was out eating, a thief slipped into the office and stole some employees' cash from their drawers, as well as two laptops and several mobile phones from their desks.

After the alarm, the company's boss and the police to see the camera installed in the corridor, the boss saw the camera Cao Hang swagger out of the office, even though the door is not closed, but their belongings are carried, kept very well.

Boss is very angry and thinks this girl is too selfish, without a bit of collectivism concept.

Given Cao Hang's working ability is still ok, the boss tolerated it and did not punish Cao Hang. After all, it was stolen from the company. To appease everyone, the boss partially compensated for the stolen employees.

One afternoon, a foreign old customer sent a fax urgent for a batch of goods, to rush the time, after work, the sales department of all the staff to work overtime to pack the goods, and then loaded into the company truck, ready to be shipped to the customs in time.

Everyone SEE THE SALES DEPARTMENT OF COLLEAGUES BUSY SWEATING, SO HAVE taken the initiative to HELP, CAO HANG through the SALES DEPARTMENT, see the sales DEPARTMENT so many people in the busy, she stood at the door curious to take a look and then continued to walk to the elevator without a word.

A COLLEAGUE KINDLY CHASE OVER TO REMIND: "CAO HANG, EVERYONE in the SALES DEPARTMENT to help, YOU BASHFUL GO?"

Cao said, "What's to be ashamed of? It's the end of the day now, and I have my own time outside of work..."

When Cao Hang joined the trading company, there were only about twenty people in the company. Small companies to strengthen cohesion, generally attaches great importance to human and the company has an unwritten rule: on each employee's birthday, other employees symbolically out twenty yuan each, companies that the rest of the insufficient part, in the employee's birthday, bosses bring everyone together to a nearby restaurant for dinner, a birthday for the staff. This move promotes solidarity among employees and shows that the company cares about employees, so it is very popular. This "unwritten rule" has been passed down as part of the corporate culture since the company was founded.

Other employees, though, embraced the "unwritten rule." However, Cao thinks this rule is a little overbearing: in order not to affect the work, the birthday dinner is usually arranged in the afternoon after work. During dinner, everyone is very relaxed and laughing, which is very time-consuming, and affects my yoga practice at home every night. As a result, Cao was averse to birthday parties. So, on another colleague's birthday, after work in the afternoon, Cao Hang still went home as usual.

In the beginning, there are colleagues to remind: "Cao Hang, today's colleague XXX's birthday, immediately we go to the restaurant together, you are forgotten?"

Cao Hang waved his hand and said, "I still have something to do. I'm leaving first. I wish you a happy meal and a good time." After reminding her several times, we realized that CAO Hang did not want to attend the birthday party on purpose, so we did not remind her anymore.

Because Cao Hang usually did not put himself into the company, has always regarded himself as a lone "passer-by a", so it is very proud, very impersonal, soon, everyone and her estranged, even the boss all know "Cao Hang is not united, no popularity". When Cao Hang needed support and cooperation from other colleagues, they were too busy to lend a helping hand. Gradually, Cao Hang's work fell into a very passive state, and their work performance became worse and worse.

Not long ago, Cao Hang was dismissed by the company, she left the company.

In the workplace, team spirit and collective concepts are very important, many works cannot do without the warm-hearted assistance of other colleagues. Therefore, no matter how strong your ability is, don't isolate yourself from the team because of selfishness, because you are a member of the team, a member of the collective, not a "passerby" walking alone on the road...
