How Do You Deal With Hypocrisy?

By ashzahrantiara September 20, 2020 8 answers Last updated September 20, 2020

Hello! I'm from a small provincial town in the south. I work in one of the units of the Municipality. To remain anonymous, I will not specify more, but I am the director of this unit. My department is the smallest as the staff has 7 more with different staff and each of them has a manager. So lately I have seen such a tendency that people get angry and envious, and at the same time hypocritical, which irritates me a lot. All the heads of the departments in question demonstrate good relations when they are in front of the management or in front of an audience outside the department, and at the same time I have witnessed that they are not as prosperous as they demonstrate. And what amazes me the most is how they kiss and hug when there are bystanders from the management and they show warm feelings. Then there are some praises of their teams for how they are the best, how this, how that .... words are not enough for me to describe to you. I don't know ... I'm starting to wonder that something is wrong ... My problem is that I'm not like that and sometimes I stay out of the spotlight. Naturally, these ladies are focusing on themselves, and that makes me angry, because they use such moments to show off, and I'm starting to blame myself for not being able to brag, not being able to stand out, and even lately I've become worried about losing my job. , which I do with desire and enthusiasm. Give advice on how to deal with and encounter such people in the service. I ask for adequate opinions, I have a feeling that I am collapsing mentally because they use such moments to show up and I start blaming myself that I can't brag, I can't stand out, and even lately I've started to worry about losing my job, which I do with desire and enthusiasm.

   The problem is that the workplace has nothing to do with the rest of life. It's about money and bread. If someone in your personal life irritates you, you will simply avoid it while you are DEPENDENT at work.

   Something common in Bulgaria! Just try to be calmer and not pay attention. It is difficult, but try to focus on the essentials in life, this with hypocrisy and intrigue is fleeting and passes and goes and people change in life and so on

   There is no way - once you are a director you will get used to such things and you will learn as well. If you do not want hypocrisy, go arrange the goods in a grocery store. There will be no part of hypocrisy and there will be more. So look down on things. Someone who bites you in the eye, praises him in front of people - at least for an experiment to see if it will work or if he will behave badly. Read Machiavelli's book to learn more subtleties.

   As a person who has worked in administration, schools and universities in Bulgaria and abroad, I have bad news, the situation is similar everywhere. Simply because, as you already realize, people are whistling and selfish. Abroad, they are even kinder and fatter to each other because etiquette requires it even more, but in fact they want their team or department to be the best, to take the new big project, to get more funding and a bigger budget. and if it can even take a project from a neighboring department or team. Officially, of course, we are all one big family and one big team, working towards a common goal for the benefit of society, the company, the municipality or whatever the local legend and propaganda that chews the leadership. But, in reality, as Hobbes said back in the 17th century, man for man is a wolf and everyone pulls the rug towards himself. That's why everyone smiles, hugs and kisses in front of people, and behind their backs they do insidious schemes and tricks and just wait to see how they can use something to stab a neighbor in the back of the next department, and why not a colleague to occupy higher position. This is true, unfortunately. The problem with you is that you are not like that and that is why it is difficult and even painful for you in such a situation and I fully understand you. At first I thought it was only in one particular place, but after changing my job a few times, I realized that it was so everywhere to one degree or another. The only way, I think, to feel better is to try to ignore all these peacocks around you and let them swell and compare. You just do your job and smile.

   And what do you expect? If I don't like someone, should I slap them?

   But wait, you're a director. Once you get to the director, things in YES should be clearer to you. What are you wondering. Especially in small municipalities it is a terrible Czarnik. I know it from personal experience. There everyone cuts their bread, that if they can retire, because otherwise bad. Retired state, few administrative structures, bad work. Not that in Sofia it is different. Almost the same picture and I speak at the highest level, but the difference is that after enough years in YES a person makes contacts and does not treat his job as the most sacred, even if it is for  2,000 and more per month, because there is always another alternative. So you have nothing to complain about, or get used to, or go overboard. Good luck.
