In the workplace PUA, leaders often hit employees' self-confidence with precision, making them doubt their own value, so as to mentally control employees, such as often telling subordinates that work is stressful, and the greater the pressure, the greater the growth, and then give them a huge workload, but no matter what they do, they will be criticized and hit, so that employees have a self-doubting mentality.
In the long run, employees will gradually deny their own value, what the superior says, what the employee will do, think that I am so "poor", can enter the company, find a job is a "blessing", after being fired from the company, no other company will want, so that no matter how humiliated the leader, will bear silently, and some will commit suicide if they can't bear the pressure.

"Workplace PUA" refers to a set of mental control methods in which leaders or colleagues use some methods and routines to mentally suppress employees in the workplace, so that employees gradually lose their self-judgment ability and cannot recognize themselves, and hand over the initiative to the other party to control them, and psychologically "surrender" to the other party. The specific manifestations are:
1. Constantly hitting you, always finding fault with your mistakes, stingy praise and telling you that this is a spur to you, the purpose is to make you excellent and progressive. There's no way anyone else at another company will tell you that.
2. Keep comparing you with other employees, so that you cause a psychological gap.
3. Giving you unreasonable work content (such as asking you to do some personal things for her) will make you feel that she is reusing you, and even handing over private affairs to you, is treating you as "her own person".
4. Give you an overloaded workload, far beyond the scope of 8 hours of work, desperately squeezing your output, everyone else in the company may be off work, but you are still working overtime. Telling you that the form out there is poor, and that you can have this job is already a blessing for you. Keep reminding you that you have to know how to be grateful.
5. Seize your credit, the company's good performance is the good of her leadership, as if your efforts are not worth mentioning.
6. Give you hope, if you work harder, you will get her affirmation, and if you work overtime, it will be grateful to her.
