Learn to defend your rights

Since I was a child, I have been a person with strong empathy and consideration for others, and the phrase helping others has always been taken for granted in my life. Therefore, as long as I can do it, I seldom or never refuse other people's requests, whether it is my duty or not, even if sometimes I am reluctant but I do not know why it is always difficult to say refusal. It is said that "the capable people work harder", but in fact it is more often "stupid people work harder". Those who don't know how to say "no" will inevitably suffer losses, but as long as it doesn't involve anything other than financial interests, I will Don't count too much.

But something happened the day before yesterday that made me really angry, and it was the first time I rejected someone for granted. That afternoon, my manager suddenly called to inform us that our factory would be closed at 5:00 pm that day, and asked me to go back to the office to get some important documents, because I was not sure when I would be able to open the factory this time. After a while, my boss also called and told me to go back and get the company seal for backup. The company was shut down so urgently and I was curious about what happened so I went to Kak Yati to find out. Only then did I learn that it turned out that an employee in our factory was infected with the delta (delta) variant virus, and the person involved is now in a coma. Because the delta variant virus can spread in the air, it is more contagious and serious, so the government department will order to close all operations of the factory.

I was very angry when I heard the news. Why did my boss let me go back and get something even though I knew it was a high risk? Kak Yati said that this is the company's secret and naturally does not want to disclose it to too many people, but the epidemic is so serious today, which is related to human life! Wouldn't it be very selfish to hide such a thing for all kinds of interests? I still remember the last time I needed to contact the company's delivery driver because of the arrangement document, and learned that one delivery driver had been diagnosed with the disease that day but came to work and stayed in a small security room with other delivery drivers. I had immediately notified the manager but the manager's reply still asked me to send the documents to them, and be careful to sanitize myself. At the time, I was really angry, scared and disappointed, especially when I thought about the manager being cautious, and spraying disinfectant alcohol from time to time, but the appearance of disinfecting everything that others touched her made me sick.

This time, I really can't stand this behavior of not taking care of other people's lives. I told the boss that I would not go back and get it. He asked me why I didn't go after I said yes, and I asked him why the company was shut down so suddenly? He was furious, but he casually said that there was something wrong with the staff and never told me the truth. The sense of disappointment came to my mind at one time. In the end, I still didn't take this risk and went back to the company to get the seal for him, even though he told me that it was needed urgently, even though I was shaken during the process, but since he didn't think about me, I didn't need to do it for him. work hard. Last week, when I got along with my boss at my new job, he said to me what impressed me the most: "The work is the company's, and the life is my own." The old boss sent me back to a virus-filled environment; the new boss arranged for me to get vaccinated before starting work, and here I see the difference.

This rejection may seem natural to others, but it was my first step. Stepping out of the society, it is a lucky thing to meet good people, but more often we should have the ability to protect ourselves. This incident made me start to reflect on my weaknesses and remind myself that when I encounter troubles in the future, I should think about myself first, to strengthen my position and safeguard my rights. I do have a lot to learn about protecting myself.
