Reversal Of Etiquette

Recently, I heard that a leader of a scientific research unit solemnly suggested at the meeting: in the future, if a subordinate meets a senior level leader in a unit, he should not only greet him, but also show two teeth when he smiles. He can see that the leaders of the two grade show four teeth and see that the leaders at the hospital level should show eight teeth.

The leader also added with caution: when the conditions are ripe, the courtyard should conduct professional "etiquette training" for all the staff members.

To date, whether the training has started is unknown.

I only heard of a burning boiler master who satirize, "if a toothless worker meets a leader with teeth?"

Just imagine, if this leader's "beautiful ideal" can be realized, it really becomes a scene of the unit. When working, when the colleagues greet each other, their subordinates will show their teeth.

At this point, is it necessary for the superior to count the teeth of the lower class? This is no longer a meeting etiquette. Instead, it has become a competition for teeth.

The advocacy of "seeing officials and etiquette" shows that some leaders have come to the point of blindly putting on airs and being arrogant.

From a rational point of view, respecting leadership is entirely desirable, but it can not be vulgarized, programmed or even fixed.

In that case, it can only exacerbate relations, create contradictions, and form a psychological barrier between cadres and masses.

I have seen before: I am talking about the boss of an enterprise in the south, because a subordinate employee did not take the initiative to greet him when he met. In a rage, he dismissed the employee.

This overlord can only show that you are not as good as Zhou Yu.

You don't ask: is this employee's "impolite" out of unwilling? Do not see clearly or overly nervous? Generally speaking, when two people meet, the mental state of the subordinate is 10 times weaker than the superior.

Here, I suggest that the leader who is keen on "seeing officials and etiquette" may take the time to read Chekhov's short story "the death of a small civil servant".

The bigger the officer, the smaller the shelf; the smaller the official, the bigger the shelf.

We often see that when the leaders of the party and the state take the initiative to shake hands with the ordinary people at the grass-roots level, they do not laugh or speak.

The author believes that we should put aside "seeing official etiquette" without mentioning that the "people's etiquette" of the central leadership should be well promoted, so that cadres at all levels should follow suit.

Here, I dare to do a simple test for leading comrades in some units. This test is very important. It can test a person's basic quality: if you see ordinary employees, are they looking up to the sky or smiling? Do you see the retired veteran comrades, or are you pretending not to see them?

People are equal, etiquette is also mutual, not because of the size of the "hat" size, the use of "system" forcing colleagues to show their teeth. So, in the same unit, the upper and lower levels happen to meet in the corridor, and what kind of etiquette should be adopted? I think, still shake hands, smile or jaw first appropriate.
