In the company, some employees are often late. The boss criticizes and colleagues remind them. They are not very effective. They always make excuses, such as traffic jam, slow watch, or

I didn't oversleep, and I called it "often justified."

Being late for work is a common phenomenon in life.

Psychologists have found that the reason for being late is that there are deeper psychological reasons besides the fact that some people do have practical difficulties.

For example, young men in love often arrive early, but if their relationship is not good after marriage, they often make excuses to go home later.

The same is true in the workplace.

If employees are interested in their work and have high enthusiasm, even if they work far away, they will overcome difficulties and get up early to ensure punctual work. If they are not enthusiastic about work, lack of interest, or disagree with their boss or colleagues, but are not good at or unable to express their dissatisfaction directly, it is easy to appear unconsciously, such as being late or slow down. This psychological mechanism is called "passive attack" in psychoanalysis, that is, expressing passive dissatisfaction with others.

As for looking for

Excuse

Some people just want to avoid embarrassment and punishment by making excuses. They still know the real reason why they are late.

Some people think that being late is only the result of objective reasons, and the real reason and psychological conflict behind their lateness are not recognized. This is called "rationalization" in psychology.

If employees are often late, they do not pay much attention to their work.

Cause

The development is very disadvantageous.

It is just a psychological symptom (late) to symbolically express and disguise a negative attitude towards work and leadership, but it is not a solution to the conflict with leadership, but it may even make bad relationships worse.

A person who is responsible for himself needs to seriously reflect on himself if he finds himself often late and often makes excuses for himself.

In the face of difficulties and conflicts in work and interpersonal relationships, positive and effective actions are taken to change reality. For example, if you feel that your professional is not right, you can try to find opportunities to mobilize your job. If there are difficulties in interpersonal relations, adjust your way of life, increase communication, eliminate misunderstandings, and try to resolve interpersonal conflicts.

Even if some contradictions are difficult to resolve, it is better to use language to express than to be late.

For those who overuse the mechanism of "passive attack" and "rationalization", if there are conditions, look at psychologists to better adjust their mindset. Psychiatrists will help you become your own master, not your subconscious slave. Often late, do not make excuses. You may as well reflect on yourself and be a person who respects work and respects himself.
