#274 How to Deal with Disrespectful People / Answering Your Questions
In this episode, Shin-kun shares an incredibly unreasonable experience he faced during a workplace role-play competition. As a sales professional, Shin-kun is exceptionally skilled at role-playing. Having won multiple times since he was a newcomer, his performance is so consistently high that he has been exempted from competing for the past few years, effectively reaching 'Hall of Fame' status.
Everything changes with a single comment from the Department Manager.
However, the Department Manager who organized this year's event suddenly insisted, 'Why isn't Shin-kun participating?' Reluctantly, Shin-kun prepared himself, determined not to tarnish his track record, and delivered a perfect performance. Everyone around him was convinced that he would be the winner.
I couldn't believe the results announced.
But the results announced by the Department Manager were shocking. He placed his favorite employee in first place and put Shin-kun completely 'out of the rankings.' Shin-kun’s anger reached its peak as he was treated on the same level as those who stumbled or made mistakes. It seemed as though there was a hidden agenda behind this decision.
I decided to suppress my emotions and fight quietly.
Although furious at such treatment, Shin-kun realized that reacting emotionally would only play into the other person's hands. He chose not to say anything, deciding to observe the person calmly as an 'adversary.' How should one protect themselves within an organization and maintain distance from unreasonable people? Please enjoy the full episode to hear how the situation unfolds and his responses to questions from listeners.
